Occasionally some people can speak Japanese, but the chances of getting it right are not high.
The menu offers steak, pancakes with bacon, hamburgers, fried chicken, and other American fare, but it is also a place where you can experience Japanese cuisine through foreign eyes, including Katsudon (pork cutlet served on top of a bowl of rice), Unaju (eel stew), suet pork, and beef Chamen (fried pork belly and pork belly).
Also, be sure to order the clam chowder, which is excellent. The takeout containers are also nice and retro.
Founded in 1967, its appearance has a good old-fashioned American feel that is different from Showa-era retro.
The interior is also quite retro, but the exterior is especially picturesque with a sense of the weight of time.
