I Visited Japan's Worst-rated Restaurant (serves frozen food)

[@callofthewind]

Where’s Gordon Ramsay when you need him? He would definitely tear this restaurant a new one! 😂

Ghibさんが阪急乗ってるの新鮮✨ どこのピザかまで突き止めてるのすごいです！ せっかく和風の素敵な建物なんだから、中身も和風にしとけばいいのに…

[@ragsoh]

Hi Ghib-san. Thanks for the video. I laughed when you said "Jipun lan lai leow". Please use this tagline more often because it is so funny haha.

[@thereisnoaddress]

It’s so funny that when you ordered your coffee, he started with 冷たいのが and then switched to “iced or hot” in English! He probably thought you were a foreigner 😂

[@tanya6856]

I see what you did there. Focusing on the dear head when your ‘dear’ speaks. 😂

[@GhibOjisan]

You are so sharp 🤓😂

[@richhong8532]

Ghib-san Two of my favorite destinations are Japan and Singapore! Good undercover investigation 🕵🏻Arigato for an informative & revealing vlog.

[@darrylk808]

Go look into the garbage bins to find all the pizza boxes.😂

[@teeteetuu94]

Interesting, those Chinese reviews are written in Traditional script. So either they are Taiwanese, or Mainlanders masking as Taiwanese.

[@bobwang2837]

I think they are targeting scamming Taiwanese people into coming to their restaurant, either done by Taiwanese themselves or Chinese who specifically wants to scam Taiwanese people.

[@ramenpharmacist]

thnks fo rthe hard hitting journalism lah

[@dennistani1986]

I recommend "Jolly Pasta" restaurant for pizza. Their pizza is very good and the cost is under ¥1000. I believe Jolly Pasta is a nationwide restaurant franchise .

[@kunapot]

I went to Arashiyama last week and passed this restaurant. I think one of the problem is that there is a brick oven pizza restaurant in that area and cost about them same. You could get better food with same price in that area, thats one of the reason that ppl got upset.

[@___Danny___]

Alot of chinese boss open japanese restaurant in japan , even in tokyo as well. Especially those cheap japanese buffet .

[@haruhi7745]

Thank You for your honest reviews and definitely not going there

[@varietyrange41]

😆😆😆

[@ISTARI22]

The funny thing is when I was in kyoto walking until very tired and I stumbled on the same cafe 😭😭. They served tea in versace cups. That time I was very impressed. Didn't know it had bad reviews 😢

[@caristalalala]

99.9% of restaurants or in f&b esp in Singapore, there is always frozen food involved, be it pizza dough to all your meats, fish, steak, everyt in frozen, but in Japan, probably u’ll expect fresher products like vegetables and fruits and different types of meat and them being so accessible due to farms , etc. But pizza….. no way u’ll get it fresh from a cafe unless its an proper italian place where you can see them rolling and stretching doughs and tossing them in the air. All ur bar bites, fries, chicken wings, nuggets, tenders, onion rings, they are all frozen too, we cant always expect ‘fresh’ nth is fresh these days, ‘ frozen chilled’ ‘ fresh frozen’

[@zanaros2606]

Could have just used frozen dough but with fresh ingredients. That's the standard restaurant way. But using everything premade and fully frozen, and charging even more than a standard restaurant pizza prize...that's super duper lazy, lol. It's like a restaurant serving you frozen chicken nuggets and fries re-heated with microwave. Rather than deep fried in a proper deep fryer, and then seasoned with special spices and garnished, for better aroma and quality and presentation. The keyword is "value added", even if you are using frozen base. There is simply minimum value added in this chinese restaurant here...other than a reheating microwave. Yet they're selling and expecting a full restaurant menu price.

[@caristalalala]

@ people just wanna make the most profits in the cheapest and easiest ways.. owells… n still lied to Ghib, ‘ hand-made’🤣🤣🤣

[@Userc8c]

Good info n video. I always visit Japan in spring n autumn esp to the onsen n ryokan which they also provide meals. But if I am sightseeing, I will eat at 7-11 for a quick bite or choose the restaurant with long queues by locals.

[@JonTan-z3e]

would be funnier if they served 7 11 or konbini food. heres ur shoyu tamago and gyudon and itoen green tea.

[@forestpark7442]

From what you've shown, the reviews are written in traditional Chinese so I guess the reviewers are from Taiwan, Hong Kong or even Malaysia... Maybe for tourists who can't speak Japanese, it's a bonus if the waiters can take their orders in Mandarin; that could have accounted for the positive reviews?

[@foodmore]

I’m from Singapore and travel to Japan frequently for work. Ironically one of the worst sushi I had was in Japan. It was at Genki Sushi at Shibuya. Truly terrible rice quality and the fish just drops off the rice when u pick up the sushi. The whole sushi also crumbles apart when u pick it up. Till today it remains the worse I’ve eaten 😂

[@mari-rk6hz]

シャトレーゼのケーキは直営店でのみ販売してるのにこのカフェは勝手に販売してると話題になってました。内装がすごいね　日本のカフェでプーアール茶はメニューにないです。この店のオーナーはアメリカ在住の中国人のようです。今日本では中国人の評判が良くないので余計に話題になったと思います。動画で見せてくれてありがとう　シンガポールは中国系の人が多いからコメント不適切なら削除して下さいね(値段高すぎにビックリ😮)

[@zanaros2606]

In China they don't care about "permissions", lol. If they can do it, and there are no law or police to stop them, then they will continue doing it. It's just their way of doing business there. Lots of Singaporeans here don't really like people from China too. Some of them can be a lot more competitive and cold-hearted than many of us Singaporeans here.

[@gorodn009]

Just my opinion. I also encountered non-Japanese staff in restaurants and shops. Maybe its just me but I don't mind it, cos I can use Mandarin or English. Some stores may purposely hire them due to the high amount of tourists as well. Regarding microwave food, I guess it depends on the establishment, if its a regular shop, I am ok with it.

[@ries9422]

That interior feels like that one scene in Crazy Rich Asians where that woman goes "inspired by the Hall or Mirrors in Versailles!" It's beautiful(?) but comes off as quite tacky. All pomp and prestige

[@おい小池-k7y]

これは興味深いカフェですね。建物は和風の古民家をイメージしましたがインテリが非常に独特です。

[@markshen3280]

Ghib OJISAN. Good morning to you from Hong Kong 🇭🇰. How do you get access to Internet 🛜 WI-FI in Japan 🇯🇵 when your phone 📱 should be on ‘AIRPLANE MODE’ ?

"is it jikasei?" "...jikasei?" Oof the awkwardness

[@mechislander]

Second! This cafe seems like it might be run by an "honourable" organisation.

[@furukawatakeru1800]

hahah i thought looking high and low for the frozen pizza only to find out the pizza was from Pizza Garden which was on the header this whole time was pretty funny!

[@hipposamadesu]

It's called "pre-made". Only need to reheat. 😂

[@NightSkyTakeru]

Yup when i'm visiting Japan, i be avoiding this place Plus this cafe is not the only place to use microwaves, Saizeriya does also use microwaves for their food...

[@audeamus7388]

Saizeriya is dirt cheap lol. its not the same.

[@BaconTransportGamer]

New Japan video

[@calvinong1968]

close it down for false advertisement

10:40 it may be machine + handmade, but not made by them 😂

When you opening your hawker store ah?

日本語がパーフェクトじゃない店員さんが働いてるのは応援したくなるだけだし、店員さんが流暢な中国語ができるなら需要にあってますよね。 でもカフェなのに食べ物を疎かにしてるのはよくないですね。お店自体はまったく応援できません😅

i wouldnt call it beautiful...gaudy or obiang yes.

[@FuIIDiveVR]

I had a feeling it was some foreigner or Chinese...

For authenticity, eat at a diner operated by the Japanese.

[@ashleylim2954]

Maybe I'll pay a visit at this cafe😂

Bring you own microwave and frozen pizza there lah. And microwave your own pizza in front of them

if all chinese review rate them good, it must be a china chinese store for sure

The reviews are in traditional script so my guess is Taiwan or hongkong

Unbelievable to find that in Japan. I thought only SINGAPOREAN will do that.

Let’s go

[@wengkhongwong7466]

I would say it’s the most ‘chinchong’ cafe in Kyoto or maybe whole of Japan 😝

[@hunterthewarrior]

I'm Singaporean who lives in Osaka, yes its a bit pricey comparing to the local Japanese neighborhood Izakayas, but it is Arashiyama Kyoto. Majority of visitors are tourists. 1680yen(S$15) for a hot large pizza to dine in that ambience I would say it is actually great price. $15 in Singapore you cant even get a bowl of fake ramen in those "Japanese ramen" store. A street snack sweet potatoe costs about 500-800 yen in Arashiyama, you cant compare it to the supermarket price. This cafe owner is quite smart, they know how to do the business. If you ever walk into the small lane of Sanjo三条 in the central area of Kyoto, some of the Japanese restaurants there are serious tourists traps by offering the English Washoku Omakase menu charged 10000 yen, but all premade supermarket dishes and tastes awfully expired. A small bowl of Oden in 黑門市場 Osaka charged me 1400 yen last time.

[@___Danny___]

takagi ramen got around $10 ramen , some hawker selling ramen for around $7-8 as well.

[@___Danny___]

@@hunterthewarrior nobody talking about real ramen. just like nobody expecting authentic hainanese chicken rice in japan.
