Restaurants to avoid

[yanpa]

Should you ever have the misfortune to find yourself in that suburban agglomeration of soul-sucking suckiness called Tokorozawa in need of sustenance, at all costs avoid the "Trattoria Pasqua" on the 8th floor of the Seibu department store opposite the station, as I can only surmise the chef learnt to cook from a book (probably one written by a Briton who had never been to Italy). The portions are laughably tiny as well.

Saizeria near Hamamatsu station

Not much hope for Saizeria to begin with, but in this particular store they even have problems to warm up the food such that it is at least somewhat palatable.

Back in the 90s, any visit to a store in the Tenya chain was 100% certain to give me a case of the runs. But over the years I built up a resistance, so it's all good now.

In Japan it's a good idea to avoid almost any restaurant claiming to make Chinese or Italian food.

Couldn't find that one on Urban Dictionary, but did find "Donkey Sausage", which is defined as:
when a girl shits on a plate, microwaves it, then rolls around in it screaming "DONKEY SAUSAGE DONKEY SAUSAGE!". Kinda similar to steamroller.

Lotsa Donkey stuff mostly related to sex...Bikkuri Donkey will never taste the same again.

My sister-in-law works at a company that repairs and maintains fridges for restaurants, and she heard from the repairmen that they can always smell the exact cause of the problem upon entering the kitchen: roaches clogging the back of the fridge, or vermin clogging the back of the fridge.

There are only two restaurant chains that are free from such problems due to high hygienic standards: McDonalds and another chain, of which she forgot the name. When I eat somewhere out I always imagine that I am in that other chain...

Just imagine what a bikkuri donkey could be and then you'll understand why the next move is called the screaming donkey.

That limits things a bit much I mean when I go to an "Italian" restaurant, I don't expect it to taste exactly like it would do in Italy, and am prepared to encounter more mayo and corn than is technically necessary, but in general it's perfectly possible for a reasonably competent kitchen to produce something involving e.g. pasta and sauce which is edible and leaves one feeling satisified. The restaurant I mentioned failed in even this simple task.

Nontoxic crayons are edible. That doesn't mean I want to eat them.
