*Waiting time* No waiting on Friday *Order & Cost* Pancake brunch set for 1353 yen *Atmosphere* Not mentioned *Service* Not mentioned *Impression* The set was a good deal for a Royal Host, as it included not only pancakes but also salad and soup. The salad had a nice presence of avocado and shrimp, making it quite luxurious. The dressing was already mixed in. The onion gratin soup was thick, sweet, and delicious. The classic pancakes were my favorite, with three fluffy pieces and plenty of maple syrup. *Looking forward to* Everything was delicious.

I feel that this Royce Hall is the best environment I have experienced so far! It seems like it could become my favorite. [Shop atmosphere] Royce Hall is located right in the middle of the office district. When I went there around 12:00 on a weekday, there were 2-3 empty seats. By the time I left the shop at 12:40, there was a wait for one group. I had passed by the shop many times before and thought, "This Royce Hall seems to have a nice atmosphere." However, when I entered, I found that the interior environment, such as the spacing between seats, the layout of the space, the air conditioning (no stuffiness), and the view from inside the shop (the greenery of the street trees coming into view in a pleasant way, creating a sense of openness) were all to my liking. *I didn't have a chance to use the restroom, so I couldn't confirm. On a side note, the Freshness Burger on the same floor also seemed to serve the best burger I have ever had among the ones I've tried. Maybe the overall quality of the Shinjuku Mitsui Building is good...? [Food] I had never had the opportunity to go to Royce Hall for lunch exactly at lunchtime, so I always ordered a la carte, but this time I was able to order a lunch set for the first time. ◾︎Cosmo Doria Special Lunch 1485 yen - Green salad - Cosmo Doria - Soup (changed to Onion Gratinee Soup for an additional 330 yen) - Dessert (bitter cafe jelly) - Drink bar Luxurious beyond belief for a company break time. It goes beyond the realm of family restaurants and feels like a course menu from a Western-style restaurant in the city. It was so fulfilling, and being in the office district, the dishes came out promptly, which I appreciated! Consistent deliciousness → Cosmo Doria and Onion Gratinee Soup, Paradise Tropical Iced Tea. Green salad → The onion dressing I had for the first time was incredibly delicious! It had a different deliciousness from the Il Cantante series and made me want to eat it at home too. Dessert → I'm not particularly fond of coffee jelly, but for some reason, this was also incredibly delicious! I didn't realize vanilla ice cream could be this tasty... [Impressions] The combination of the atmosphere and the food made for a very refreshing lunchtime. I didn't have much time that day, so I had to eat this elegant lunch in a rush of about 30 minutes, but next time, I want to go when I have an extra 15 minutes!

I occasionally use it for lunch. The price range is usually around 2,000 yen. It's more expensive than other family restaurants, or rather, than eating at nearby restaurants for lunch! But I love it because I'm always satisfied. - Food content: Royal Omelette Rice with Natural Shrimp Fry & Red King Crab Cream Croquette for 1,958 yen (tax included). I was drawn to the visual like a children's lunch. The omelette rice uses so many eggs, it's so thick and voluminous. The shrimp fry is crispy and delicious, and the red king crab cream croquette is also of high quality. I love this kind of plate at Western-style restaurants, and this one was just as good as any other Western-style restaurant. It may be an exaggeration, but it's not far from saying that it's not just a family restaurant, but a first-class Western-style restaurant.

I went to The Family Restaurant that I used to frequent during my student days after a long time. Compared to Denny's and Skylark, it gives a more high-end impression. The waiter was still a part-timer, but seemed earnest and well-trained. The hamburger was delicious. We used to go to Sizzler a lot when my kids were young.

Since I was young, I have always loved the pancakes at Royal Host. I took my middle school son for breakfast after a long time and we had the "Omelette Morning" dish. They had two coffee machines, so we tried both and I prefer the blend coffee from the newer one. The honey tea also had a nice aroma and tasted delicious.

[Royal Host] - Hot Grilled Shrimp and Scallop Dish - Singaporean Style Black Pepper Pilaf ¥2,430 - Small Beer ¥390 Located on the 1st floor of Shinjuku Mitsui Building. There was a separate menu featuring Singaporean dishes using shrimp. Both my partner and I love shrimp, so I ordered the Singaporean Style Black Pepper Pilaf, while my partner ordered the Singaporean Style Chili Sauce with Shrimp and Scallop dish (we always end up ordering shrimp chili wherever we go, haha). In addition, we also ordered the hot grilled shrimp and scallop. We started with the grilled shrimp and scallop, washing it down with beer. The scallops and shrimp were seasoned perfectly, making us want to order another round of beer! Note: It was lunchtime. Next, our respective dishes arrived. The pilaf was topped with 5 plump black tiger shrimps! The sweet and spicy exotic sauce paired well with the shrimp! The pilaf had a nice black pepper flavor, making it fragrant and delicious! I wanted to order another plate right away. It's been a while since I visited Royal Host, and the quality is still top-notch! And the prices too! I usually have lunch here on my days off, but this was the most expensive one yet! I was too relaxed, thinking it was just a family restaurant, haha. #RoyalHost #NishiShinjukuLunch #ShinjukuMitsuiBuilding #SingaporeFair #SingaporeanStyleBlackPepperPilaf #GrilledShrimpandScallop #PersonalGourmetMemoir #FoodDiary ofWhatI'veEaten

It's been a while since I last visited Royal Host. I usually go there for weekend or late-night meals, but this time I brought a colleague for lunch. I wanted to eat lots of vegetables, so I ordered a salad brunch. I was surprised that you can still order brunch even at this time. The cold salad, hot soup, and bread made for a great lunch.

I wanted to eat Royal Host's pancakes for the first time in a while, so I came to the store in Nishi-Shinjuku. It's about a 25-minute walk from my house. The store is located on the first floor of the Mitsui Building, with Sizzler on the second floor. This location used to be where the Royal Host with the highest sales in Japan was located. It was a legendary place where American visitors from surrounding hotels would come in the morning, eat pancakes, and leave. The pancakes were recognized by American palates as the best. I ordered the Scrambled Egg Plate, substituting the toast for pancakes and adding the drink bar. It was around 1000 yen and very satisfying. The main plate had scrambled eggs, sausages, and hash browns. The pancakes were served separately, with two stacked together and a generous dollop of whipped butter on top. In the pitcher, there was maple syrup, and it felt like a little bonus. I started to eat. I spread the butter on the pancakes and stacked them together. I cut them into eight pieces, drizzled some maple syrup, and took a bite. At first, it felt a bit dry, but as I chewed, the maple syrup and butter seeped in, making it moist and flavorful. The dough had a salty taste and a hint of burnt wheat aroma. When I ate the scrambled eggs on the pancakes without syrup, the saltiness of the dough mixed with the umami of the eggs. Drizzling maple syrup on the eggs intensified the sweet-savory combination, making it delicious. The half-left scrambled eggs tasted great with ketchup. Egg dishes really enhance sweetness, with a tangy tomato flavor that is perfect for breakfast. The hash browns were crispy and crunchy, a texture I enjoyed. It had been a long time since I had hash browns, and I remembered how tasty they were. Despite being a bit unhealthy, today's breakfast was fulfilling and satisfying. Thank you for the delicious meal.

After a long time, I went to Royal Host. I ordered my favorite Angus beef salad, but to my surprise, the fried potatoes underneath were replaced with mashed potatoes. It was disappointing. But it was still delicious as always. Royal Host is the best. It was a great feeling to enjoy a restaurant-like experience so easily.

I went to have an strawberry parfait. It's a bit of a walk from Shinjuku Station to Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, but it's not crowded, which is good. The strawberry brulee parfait was incredibly delicious. They also have a wide variety of drinks at the drink bar (such as herbal tea and blended tea).

The parfaits at family restaurants have become delicious too~ Strawberry & Hot Fudge~ Limited Edition~ Fresh strawberries with sorbet, vanilla chocolate ice cream with pecans and almonds as accents, and hot fudge sauce for even more deliciousness when poured over it~ Ham and Chicken Club Sandwich is just the right amount to share with a friend. The portion size is good, the price is reasonable, and we were able to enjoy delicious food.

*Waiting Time* No wait on Sunday at 12:00 *Order & Price* Strawberry Brulee Parfait for 1,133 yen *Atmosphere* Located in an office district, but still relatively busy on weekends. *Service* Some seats have outlets available. *Impressions* I've always wanted to try the Brulee Parfait at Royce. It didn't have a crispy texture, but it was gentle and smooth. The pudding-like texture was delicious. The whole pecans added a crunchy texture. I usually don't like strawberry sorbet, but this one had a smooth texture and was delicious. In addition to strawberries, there were also bananas. The strawberries were sweet and sour, and delicious. *Expectations* It was delicious. Not only the smooth and crunchy textures, but also the flavors ranging from sweet to bitter made it enjoyable from start to finish. The portion size wasn't too big, so I finished it quickly. Next time, I want to try the Java Curry.

Located in a building complex near Shinjuku Nishiguchi, there is a Royal Host with large glass windows. The 1st floor houses Royal Host, while on the 2nd floor you can find Sizzler. Outside the windows, there is a plaza and trees, creating a comfortable atmosphere. I visited on the second day of the new year, just before lunchtime, and about 30% of the seats were already taken. By noon, it was fully packed. I got a nice window seat. The extensive menu is impressive and lifts your mood. It spans multiple pages, featuring steaks, hamburgers, gratins, pasta, desserts, and pancakes. Not many family restaurants offer such a wide variety of dishes like Royal Host. The service is not overly formal but polite, and the staff move around the floor efficiently, creating a pleasant dining experience. I ordered the Angus beef steak pilaf with onion soup. I waited patiently for about 15-20 minutes while sipping my drink. The onion soup, served in a small container with bread and cheese on top, was delicious and had a subtle sweetness. It truly lives up to its reputation as a specialty. The steak pilaf was unbelievably delicious. The moist and buttery pilaf, cooked with beef fat, was sweet and flavorful. The finely chopped beef pieces were abundant, and the steak on top was perfectly cooked to a rare doneness, with a rich flavor. The fried onions and sauce complemented the dish well, and I enjoyed it with a non-alcoholic beer. The bill for two people, including drinks, was around 5,000 yen. The clientele, which included groups of ladies enjoying courses and well-behaved children, was pleasant. It's nice to have a "family restaurant" where you can leisurely enjoy your meal. I also recommend the Sizzler upstairs. Next time, I want to try their steak as the main dish.

The Royal Host, a restaurant rumored in the neighborhood. I was craving their seafood doria, so I revisited after over a year, even though this is my first time at this location. It's in the Mitsui Building in Nishi-Shinjuku. Since it's weekend lunchtime, there are more housewives and women than salarymen, which is nice. The set menu for lunch is very attractive, and I didn't feel the overpriced vibe I had experienced during my last visit at night. I ordered the special seafood doria lunch set, which came with a green salad, soup, drink bar, and dessert. For some reason, I also ordered some junk food that I don't usually crave, French fries. When I went to pour myself a drink, I was delighted to see 100% juice individually set up, just like at a business hotel breakfast buffet. The variety of drinks felt richer compared to other family restaurants. Soon after, the salad and French fries arrived. The salad was fresh and the dressing was tasty. Unfortunately, the French fries were dry and made my hands stop. The deliciously crafted sauce of the doria was a pleasant surprise, not something you would expect from a family restaurant. I couldn't help but think that increasing the amount of the Mornay sauce on top could reduce the heaviness of the Americaine sauce. It didn't maintain a mellow taste like Le Blanc's doria, so I slowed down towards the end. Still, considering the price, it was a great deal. I think this restaurant represents Japan well. Thank you for the meal.

Royal Host is a restaurant where you can enjoy dishes with service. It's important to evaluate not only the food, but also the atmosphere and service of the restaurant to truly understand its value. I decided to visit Royal Host in the morning for this reason. Thanks to a certain controversial TV show, the restaurant was pleasantly busy. People ordering pancakes were quite noticeable, and I wondered if there was an effect of the controversial marketing strategy. Interesting. I ordered the morning pancakes with a drink bar, and added sausages. The price was reasonable at 780 yen. The drink bar area was clean and well organized, creating a pleasant atmosphere. "We will prepare your meal," the staff said as the table became lively. It felt nice to be served. Although the male staff seemed exhausted and provided lackluster service, the female staff's efficient and cheerful demeanor, along with their precise work, impressed me. I waited patiently. While sipping on iced tea, the food arrived in about 10 minutes. It was a stack of three very ordinary pancakes. Those who criticize the food may not understand the difficulty of consistently creating dishes that may seem easy to make but are actually quite challenging. I recalled when my sister worked part-time at a nearby Royal Host, and scolded my father for ordering pancakes on a busy day, saying "Don't make the kitchen busy with such orders during busy times." Reluctantly, my father ordered cake and endured. The tension in preparing dishes is quite high. I followed the founder's way of eating these pancakes, which I dearly love. First, I spread butter on each piece individually. Then I stacked them back together and cut into eight pieces. When I put one piece of the three-layered pancake into my mouth, it perfectly filled my mouth. So, three layers. At this size, they are baked. Initially, I eat one piece without syrup. It feels a bit chewy. It's a texture that is far from the trendy smooth or velvety dishes. My mouth was slightly surprised and demanded saliva. Saliva is one of the best seasonings. The dough, softened and flavored with wheat and butter, spreads in my mouth. Then, I add maple syrup. Not the cheap maple-flavored syrup, but real maple syrup that moistens and enhances the flavor. It's smooth in the mouth, and when chewed, the layered dough creates a satisfying crunch against the molars. The combination of sausage and maple syrup creating a sweet and savory taste is delightful. I poured maple syrup into my cafe latte to create a maple latte, warming my stomach and satisfying my soul. Can they continue to provide this quality product when receiving almost ten orders at once? And at the same time, amidst a continuous stream of other food orders, do they have a system in place to ensure precise work? Reservation required. They want to make what they want to make by cutting the customer's choices to the limit. There is a different kind of struggle in industrial restaurants compared to those who are comfortably protected under the title of being top-notch. It would be nice to have a show that evaluates them, but it's also unfair without the opposite show. It's not a battle between the strong and the weak, but a clash between the strong. I would like to see a thrilling show where top chefs who claim to be the best argue with each other, but it's probably impossible on TV. I wrote about my thoughts after watching Job Chune on the Members Salon.

The pancakes from Royal Host, which are currently popular, have been my favorite since my university days. When I was a student, there was a Royal Host near Omotesando Station, which I frequented often. I arrived around 2:30 pm and had to wait for about 20 minutes. Despite pulling a ticket, many people were not waiting, so the line moved quickly and I was seated in about 6-7 minutes. There were a few empty seats inside, not because it was full, but because there weren't enough staff to keep up with the service. Royal Host is known for their Onion Gratin Soup, or "Onigura," which Marilyn Monroe was said to have liked. I wanted to try both the Onigura and the pancakes, so I ordered the Pancake Brunch Set for 1353 yen. Since it was a weekend brunch, I also ordered a glass of white wine for 429 yen. Despite the crowd, the service was polite and efficient. The wine arrived in about 5 minutes after ordering. Shortly after, the Onigura was served. The caramelized onions were sweet and flavorful, and paired perfectly with the bread and melted cheese on top. The salad was a nice touch, and I enjoyed it with the wine. Finally, the star of the show, the pancakes, arrived. The golden brown color and the three stacked layers with whipped cream looked delicious. These pancakes were based on American pancakes, not hotcakes, so they were smaller and stacked multiple layers. The simple and straightforward taste reminded me of the pancakes I loved in my university days. I like to cut them in half, with one half eaten plain (with a little whipped cream) and the other half topped with whipped cream and maple syrup. My American-raised partner prefers to spread whipped cream on each of the three pancakes, stack them, and then pour maple syrup on top. If these pancakes were different in taste or presentation, I probably wouldn't order them again. Despite different opinions, I love Royal Host. I hope the taste of these pancakes never changes. Thank you for the meal.

Regardless of the time of day, when you go to Royal Host, the go-to menu choice for many people is the "Triple Grill". Everything on the menu looks delicious at Royal Host, so it's easy to end up choosing this option. I feel like it used to be called the "Mixed Grill" a long time ago, but the basic concept remains the same. With its consistently delicious taste, for me, when it comes to Royal Host, it's all about the "Triple Grill".

Royal Host is like stepping into a realm of luxury. It had been so long since I last visited, I wonder how many years it has been? The entrance and interior exuded a strong sense of sophistication, and the staff in their white jackets looked very sharp. Now, the Cosmo Doria I was looking forward to was... where? The menu was incredibly thick. I knew that family restaurants these days are amazing, but Royal Host takes it to another level. It's like a full-fledged restaurant. The menu showcases the excellence of ingredients while keeping up with the latest trends. I was amazed. Even the classic dishes were upgraded to a luxurious version that made my stomach growl non-stop. I decided to have the Cosmo Doria as a side dish and ordered the hamburger. The soup was unbelievably delicious. The hamburger, cooked on a hot plate, smelled so good. The texture and sweetness of the chestnuts in the Cosmo Doria were truly delicious, bringing tears to my eyes. I can't wait to go back!

When limited-time parfaits are available, I can't resist going. The chestnut and hojicha brulee parfait has a hint of hojicha flavor but is very sweet. Personally, I think strawberry season is the best. Lately, parfaits have been on the pricier side, so this size offers good value for money.

In the Asakusa area, there is a cafe called "Heaven" that has been selected as one of the top 100 shops, but for me, it's more like hell with its small space, old taste, and inflated prices. On the other hand, places like Jonathan's and Royal Host with all-you-can-drink options are truly heavenly. I don't stay long, but during lunchtime, there are often gatherings of elderly people who seem to enjoy lingering there. 😄
