a week agoI had a large curry rice lunch at Gotanda Station's west exit, but I was only about 40% full, so I decided to stop by this restaurant for a lunch hop. It's about a 5-minute walk from Gotanda Station's east exit. The restaurant is on the second floor. The restaurant plays local South American music with a distinctive rhythm, as well as music that sounds like something you'd hear in Peru. I was the only Japanese customer; everyone else was from South America, like Peru. Order ◯Salad ¥1,100 ◯Lunch: Stewed Dried Potatoes ¥1,000 ◯Beef Fried Rice ¥1,500 ◯Guarana Drink ¥500 Total ¥4,100 ・Guarana Drink I was served a can of guarana drink and a glass. It's self-serve and tastes like a regular guarana drink. ・Soup It contains Chinese cabbage and penne pasta. It also has a small amount of meat. The taste is like a peppery consommé, and it's piping hot and delicious. ・Salad It's topped with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, sliced boiled eggs, seaweed (wakame stems?), and corn. It's topped with a dressing similar to Southern dressing. It's crunchy, fresh, and delicious. ■Lunch: Stewed Dried Potatoes The potatoes seem to have almost completely dissolved into the salad, and there's also meat in it. The texture is like a curry roux without the curry flavor, or like a watery nikujaga (meat and potato stew). It has a slightly salty taste, and the simple flavor that brings out the flavor of the ingredients is delicious. ✦Rice It's presented in a round shape. The portion is quite large, probably enough for 2-2.5 people. It's typical Japanese white rice and tastes great. Mixed with the stewed dried potatoes, it's incredibly delicious. ・Beef Fried Rice This dish contains small, easy-to-eat pieces of beef. The beef is lightly flaky and looks great. The portion is generous, probably enough for 2.5-3 people. The flavor is soy sauce. It does have a soy sauce flavor, but it's a flavor you wouldn't expect from regular Japanese fried rice. ↓ To give an example, it's like Musashi-◯◯ Station, where you can transfer from the JR Nambu Line to the Tokyu Toyoko Line and Tokyu Meguro Line. ↓ The letter that goes in for ◯◯. ↓ The correct answer is Kosugi. ↓ In other words, the flavor is too strong. The saltiness is very pronounced. It would be okay as a snack to go with alcohol, but I still think it's too salty. Overall Review The stir-fried fried rice was too salty, but the stew was very delicious. The portions of both the stew and fried rice were very generous, making this a reasonable restaurant for large-portion customers like me. I paid with PayPay. The combination with the curry rice at the west exit left me completely full and satisfied. It was a delicious meal. Thank you very much.

a month agoYou should definitely not go there. The customer service from the elderly male staff is absolutely awful and not at a level where they should be allowed to operate in Japan. They don't greet you, ignore you, and are rude, so it's very unpleasant. If you hate it that much, you should just quit. Delicious Peruvian food, but this is the worst restaurant that tarnishes your impression of Peruvians. The restaurant doesn't seem very clean. The food is very tasty and reasonably priced.
