It’s been ages since I posted a place that isn’t actually good.. I happened to end up eating near Shinjuku Gyoen, and this is the restaurant I walked into. The food was very ordinary.
The Marui department store building in Shinjuku
It’s stunning. Do we even have anything like this in Korea..
The entrance
Looks perfectly fine from outside.. but inside it’s absolutely packed.
A glass of wine
Ordinary..
Caesar salad
I didn’t say a word, and they buried it in cheese.. oh dear..
Margherita pizza
Ordinary..
Chili oil
King prawn pasta
The noodles were overcooked. And then the sheer onslaught of cheese..
The dessert that was at least decent
The bread wasn’t moist enough, though..
An ordinary dessert..
In Korean terms it’s probably about on par with Sorrento.. I’m posting this to let you know that not every place in Japan is great, and that I don’t eat nothing but delicious food every single day either.
