@thefamousjet: The reviews said they provided great service to English speakers but when we went they rejected us saying it was members only. It sounded sus so we called in japanese and made a rez over the phone which they happily accepted. Little did they know it was us pulling up again. #osaka #japan #racism
This happened to us in Osaka, too. We were told they were full but half the restaurant was empty.

If you're looking for some great sushi my husband is a sushi chef at a restaurant in Honmachi Osaka. You'll definitely have a great time.

I wonder if it would have been members only for some guests from Europe.🤔🤔

so they've upgraded from saying "Japanese only" (which makes sense if they dont speak any eng) to "members only" 🫠🫠

I experienced this. They flat out told us no foreigners. I think it’s because they don’t want to bother speaking English and translating the menu

This has happened to me as well. Even after I start speaking Japanese they still respond to me in English saying ‘sorry I don’t speak English’ 😂

Okay, this basically did happen to us in Kyoto and we were so sad. It was a cave style restaurant and they wouldn’t take us even tho it wasn’t closing

In Kyoto we found a place run by an old couple and they seated us kindly. but another pair walked in after us and they said “reserve only!” (We didn’t make a reservation). Then the old couple turned to us and said “SAFE!” 😂 I think sometimes they just want to take it easy~
