I ordered the Angus sirloin steak and natural shrimp fry & red snow crab cream croquette set meal with grated yuzu ponzu sauce at Roy Ho, located along Ohisagi-dori street, straight south from Gokokuji temple. The menu name is quite long...

I saw "Royho's Pancakes" on TV and it was also trending on Twitter. I always love the great service from the staff at Royal Host. The old-fashioned pancake feel was wonderful. I will definitely go back again.

Today we went cycling with my family! We stopped by the nearby cathedral for lunch. They were having a fair with delicious options, and my wife ordered the Angus beef steak. It was so tender and tasty! Our daughter enjoyed it too! I had the Jambalaya with steak, which was also delicious and satisfying. We ordered dessert as well, and it was amazing, just like Roy's! The lunch ended up being a bit pricey, but it was fun and relaxing. Thank you for the meal.

During a walk, it was so hot that we decided to stop by the Royal Host in Onjo for the first time in a while. The place was still crowded as usual. We arrived just after lunchtime, but by the time we left, there were already people waiting in line. I remember that when I came here before, there were smoking and non-smoking sections, but now it seems like it's all non-smoking. This place is quite spacious, and to fill up a Royal Host of this size, the people in Onjo must be quite well off. Looking at the menu, I noticed they had curry, so I ordered the Java Curry (1045 yen including tax), a green salad (+110 yen including tax), and a mango parfait (1023 yen including tax). The prices were definitely Royal Host quality (laughs), but we couldn't beat the heat. First, the salad arrived. It's nice that you can have a salad for an extra 110 yen. When we were almost done, the curry arrived. The curry came in a curry pot, giving it an authentic touch. The taste was quite authentic, and it might be too spicy for children. It was delicious. Royal Host really delivers high-quality even with their curry. After the meal, we had the mango parfait. The mango was sweet and incredibly delicious, but the mango ice cream had a concentrated mango flavor that surpassed the actual mango, and it was so delicious. Again, it was Royal Host quality. Both the curry and the parfait provided a satisfaction that exceeded the price. Thank you for the meal. We will definitely visit again when we're walking around this area.

The morning spent at Royal Host is filled with a sense of security. The food may be simple - just toast and scrambled eggs - but the atmosphere provided at a dining establishment is also part of the value. During the pandemic, when their main business of in-flight meals took a big hit and they needed to raise funds, it was easy to come to an agreement. Fans of Royal Host, both domestically and internationally, seem to appreciate not only the scale but also the qualitative value they provide. This is an exaggerated review of a morning experience.

I visited this restaurant in November 2019 for dinner, but couldn't find parking so I ended up parking at the original parking lot. I was undecided on what to order, but eventually chose the appetizer set, steak pilaf, and ikura rice set. It was great that they offered both Japanese and Western options on the menu.

On September 29th, which is known as "Meat Day," I visited Royal Host at the Otowa branch and had their Royal Angus Sirloin Steak with grated yuzu ponzu sauce. I actually didn't plan to go to Royal Host originally. The Otowa branch was my second choice after finding out that "Niku no Yahagi," a 60-year-old butcher shop on the same street, was closed. My third option was Jonathan at Gokokuji. I had high hopes for "Niku no Yahagi" as they recently renovated and added a dining area on the second floor. Unfortunately, when I arrived around 3 pm, the shop was closed. I decided to have the steak at Royal Host first and then try the croquettes at "Niku no Yahagi." The steak was delicious and tender, and I really enjoyed it with the yuzu ponzu sauce. Even though I couldn't have the croquettes, I plan to visit another Royal Host before the end of October to try their grape parfait. It turns out that "Niku no Yahagi" is closed on the fifth Saturday of the month, which I only found out later. Overall, my experience at Royal Host on "Meat Day" was satisfying.

Visited in October 2015. I don't usually go to family restaurants much, but when it's late or there's nowhere else to go, I end up using them. My friend seems to be attracted to Royal Host when they have some kind of fair going on. I think I went to a curry fair before, but this time I just visited without any special event. I wonder what they did about parking? Maybe they had a partnership. They had a nice appetizer platter, which was quite delicious. The double pizza was advertised as using Hokkaido wheat and had two different flavors. I tried an acai juice to feel a bit healthier (laughs).

Omurice =========== This restaurant serves delicious omurice.

It would be appreciated if they were open around 3 o'clock.

It's always empty, the service is good. You can eat in peace and even get work done.

It seems like there are many families with children at this restaurant.

Royal Host, how many years has it been? A restaurant that has been around since I was a child. It has now established itself as a high-class family restaurant. The prices are quite high. It's about double the cost of Saizeriya or Hidakaya, but the portion size and taste are decent. The area around Oto is upscale, so the customers are usually calm and sophisticated. I'm not sure when I'll be able to come back next, but the consistent deliciousness never changes. Thank you for the meal.

Royal Host is located quite far from Gokokuji Station in Tokyo, about a 5-minute walk. Even around 10 pm, the restaurant is bustling with customers. It is situated near the large Kodasha publishing building, and you often see groups of what appear to be employees from publishing companies. Despite the higher prices, I think Royal Host offers many delicious dishes compared to regular family restaurants. Some of the menu items include steak bowl for 1680 yen, crab buffet pilaf for 1480 yen, onion gratin soup for 450 yen, seafood doria with shrimp and scallops for 1330 yen, Cosmo doria for 880 yen, Bolognese pasta lunch (price unknown), Jambalaya for 1280 yen, black x black hamburger for 1180 yen, and strawberry creme brulee parfait for 750 yen (all prices excluding tax). I often order the Cosmo doria.

During my student days and when I was younger, I used to rely on family restaurants a lot. I think I also frequented them when my children were young, but now I hardly ever choose to go to one. I don't like anything about them anymore - the standardized store design, menu, staff trained by manuals, and ingredients supplied from a central kitchen. Family restaurants are convenient because you can easily spot their signs from afar, they are often not too crowded, and they have a larger seating capacity compared to individual restaurants, so even during busy times, you can usually get a table quickly. For those who appreciate the consistent service and reliability that anyone can enjoy anytime, family restaurants might seem appealing, but I find them bland and unappealing. I also tend to avoid chain izakayas for the same reasons. However, I recently visited a family restaurant that I had been to once when my child was a toddler. Back then, I had driven there, but now there was a sign at the building's parking lot indicating that there were no discounts or services for parking. Perhaps this was a response to the rising parking fees in the area, but I thought they could offer some sort of service like one hour free parking for a certain amount spent on food and drinks, similar to supermarkets. My daughter had a sports match at a nearby school, and this restaurant was the closest place for a meal within walking distance. With limited break time, I didn't have the luxury to choose, so I entered without hesitation during lunchtime. Luckily, I didn't have to wait at the entrance like some others who arrived later. My wife and daughter picked their favorite dishes, and I decided to have a bottled beer with some fried chicken, but when I saw that the hamburger was a blend of meats, I changed my order to curry instead. The beer arrived promptly, followed by the curry. I was worried about how I would drink the beer if the fried chicken came after the curry, but they brought the fried chicken first, which was thoughtful. Before I finished the beer, the curry was served. They must have been watching the timing. My wife didn't like the sunny-side-up egg topping on her dish, so I gladly accepted it and put it on top of my curry rice, creating a delicious special sunny-side-up curry. I enjoyed my meal, while next to me, a young lady was studying alone with her documents spread out. I sometimes wonder if it's okay to study for hours in a family restaurant when there are people waiting for seats. But there was a time in the past when I relied heavily on family restaurants and stayed for hours without being kicked out. Although I have no authority to say this, I hope everyone can use the restaurant conveniently without causing any inconvenience to the establishment. I filled my stomach deliciously within the limited time and left the restaurant. Thank you for the meal. In terms of image, I prefer Royal Host over other family restaurants. If the timing is right, I will visit again.

I feel like family restaurants used to be more high-end in the past. Due to deflation, more and more restaurants like Gusto are emphasizing low prices and changing their concepts. It's a bit sad, but that's the way of the times. Due to work reasons, I sometimes use family restaurants, and among them, Royal Host is the best, I think? I consider the average service at family restaurants to be 2.5 stars, but this one might be a bit above that. I used to like Denny's, but not as much since they changed their menu. Today's lunch was an Angus steak bowl for 1,680 yen. The steak is American sirloin, with just the right amount of fat for me. I'm not a fan of fatty or tender beef, so I like when the meat itself stands out. The horseradish, Japanese-style sauce, rice, and side of fried vegetables were all well-balanced and delicious!
