I decided to pick up my wife in Asakusa and have dinner together, but since we were traveling by car, our options were limited. We ended up going to Royal Host for dinner. Royal Host is known for their meat dishes, so we both decided to go for meat options. My wife ordered the Grilled Chicken Salad and Onion Gratin, while I ordered the Angus Sirloin Steak Pilaf with garlic flavor. The pilaf had finely chopped steak meat mixed in, giving it a delicious flavor. The Angus beef was tender and easy to eat, and the steak sauce flavored pilaf was really tasty. Overall, we were satisfied with the meal. The Grilled Chicken Salad was also quite filling, with tender Cajun-flavored chicken. Royal Host might be worth a visit once in a while.

It's located near Higashi-Shinjuku Station (^-^) There's also a hotel nearby (°▽°) They seem to have a buffet as well (^∇^) The store is very clean and nice⭐️ It was close to 9pm when I went, so it wasn't crowded (^-^) Prices range from under 1000 yen to around 1500-2000 yen (・・;) It's a bit different from other family restaurants (^_^;) It feels more upscale ( ´ー`) I was torn between the options because everything looked delicious (°▽°) But I really wanted to try the crab cream croquette, so I went for the omelette rice and shrimp fry & crab cream croquette set＼(^-^)／ The crab cream croquette is made with Hokkaido? Snow crab, it was creamy and delicious ( ´ー`) The omelette rice and shrimp fry were okay (・・;) The male and female staff were friendly and nice (　´∀｀)b

This time, I had a parfait after a long time. Parfait prices have been on the rise lately, with many costing over 2,000 yen and some even reaching 4,000 yen. However, this Hot Fudge Sundae, priced at 780 yen excluding tax, offers exceptional value for money. The balance of flavors is top-notch. I am completely satisfied with the delicious taste, which seems to have improved since the past.

Today's third meal was inspired by the world of Dragon Quest, as I chanted the spell of "Royho!" I visited "Royal Host Higashi Shinjuku" for this adventure. Actually, I tried to go to the "ARTNIA" cafe near Square Enix headquarters, but I had to wait for 30 minutes so I gave up. I really wanted to try the Slime dessert. They seated us at a triangular table, which felt a bit forced. Here's what we ordered: Kale Salad - 693 yen Drink Set - 385 yen The kale salad had thinly sliced leaves piled high on the plate. It was dressed with a peanut oil dressing that had a mild acidity, making it refreshing and very tasty. In addition to kale, it included red cabbage, chicken, and peanuts, providing a pleasant mix of textures. I really enjoyed this kale salad! Delicious! The drink set at Royal Host is not a drink bar, but a set menu. One good thing about Royal Host is that they offer Coke Zero with aspartame, which is not usually available at other family restaurants. I usually drink Coke Zero and oolong tea. Occasionally, I have the warm rose hip tea. Royal Host is a step above other family restaurants! It was a satisfying meal. Thank you!

I visited the restaurant alone at night. It was as bustling as ever. The menu had changed since my last visit (just a few days ago). I had come to eat gratin this day, but to my surprise, they didn't offer gratin as a standalone dish! So, I ended up ordering a completely different menu item than planned. The salad had a consistent taste, and the mussels were easy to eat without any unpleasant smell.

On a regular Tuesday, a little past 10:30 AM. Today is the annual health check-up day. The health check-up starts at 10 AM and ends in 30 minutes, but it takes about an hour for the results to come out. It's a tradition to have brunch while waiting for the results. I usually go to the neighboring Bamiyan, but since I wrote a review last year, I decided to try here this year. Royal Host holds a special place in my heart and is actually my favorite family restaurant. It's located around Sengawa where Koshu Kaido and Old Koshu Kaido intersect, and I may have had some youthful experiences there during my university days (laughs). I wonder if that place is still there? During my student days, I used to have the Mixed Grill. As a working adult, it's Clubhouse Sandwich all the way. But today, for the first time, I'm having a solo weekday lunch at Royal Host. Since I can't drink beer during work, I'll play it safe and go for the daily special. On Tuesdays, it's Chicken with Mushroom Sauce & Black Wagyu Potato Croquette Lunch (968 yen) (with a free large rice upgrade) and the Lunch Drink Bar (286 yen), making it a total of 1,254 yen. After ordering, the lunch soup arrives quickly. I'd like to have it with rice, but it's best to drink it before it gets cold. It's an onion soup, and it's delicious. About 15 minutes later, it still hasn't arrived. Oh, I forgot I got the drink bar. I should go get some coffee. Ah, here it is! Let's start with the chicken. I don't see chopsticks, so I'll have to use the knife and fork to cut and eat. Hmm, it's delicious. It has a slight buttery flavor, which is nice. The mushrooms look a bit chewy, but when you chew them, they have a subtle texture. It's decent. Next, let's try the croquette. This is also a bit tricky to eat with a knife and fork, but let's give it a try. As expected, when I cut it, the inside potato gets a bit mushy. Oh well, let's just eat it. Well, the croquette is... just a croquette. To be honest, I prefer the 50 yen croquettes from the meat shop, so even if it's made with black Wagyu, it doesn't really stand out for me. The crispy fried texture is nice though. As for the drink bar, I had two cups of hot coffee, two double shots of espresso, two cups of oolong tea, and one cup of hot chocolate? Is that enough to drink? I see, so this is what a Royal Host lunch is like. It's decent, a bit pricey but worth it once in a while. Now, time to pay. I can use the GO TO EAT digital vouchers, lucky me. This way, I've used them all up. The deadline is tomorrow, so it worked out perfectly. Thank you for the meal. Postscript: After this, once again this year, I was declared as a potential metabolic syndrome candidate, and so the re-examination was ordered... (Copied from last year's Bamiyan Higashi Shinjuku Ekimae Store review!)

I went around 7 pm on a regular day with another person. We had to wait for about 10 minutes to get in. The Korean restaurant we wanted to go to had a condition for entry until 7 pm, so we hurried over. Our second goal was to have the strawberry crème brûlée parfait at Royal Host. I really wanted to eat that. Breaking the crispy surface and savoring the sweet and sour taste of the strawberries was pure bliss. I'm happy that I got to eat what I wanted. It was delicious. I got carried away and also ordered a decanter of white wine. I ended up drinking too much with the decanter refills. There were also small appetizers like dried young sardines that we added. The seating was very spacious since it's a family restaurant, the wine glasses were glass, and it's very convenient being close to the station. Thank you for the meal.

Hello! This is Hanedaman! (・▽・) Over the weekend, my family and I had lunch at the Royal Host in Shinjuku! Since it was a day off, I decided to have some alcohol and when I looked at the menu, I found a half bottle of sparkling wine, so I chose that! I was wondering what would go well with this wine, and ended up choosing the paella-style dish with red snapper, shrimp, and salmon roe, as it looked delicious! The sparkling wine was pleasantly dry and very delicious! I love how the bubbles rise up, it creates a nice atmosphere! As for the paella-style dish, although it wasn't exactly paella, the balance between the saffron rice and seafood was great! The seafood was so thick and substantial that they could each be a main dish, and there was a generous amount of salmon roe as well! Of course, the combination with the sparkling wine was fantastic! Additionally, it came with lemon and aioli cream sauce (mayonnaise with garlic), which was amazing when paired with the seafood! I feel like this place is perfect for enjoying a little luxury in everyday life! I definitely want to go back!

Hello (=・ω・=) The other day, my family and I went to Royal Host. It was a holiday, so I thought the East Shinjuku location would be relatively empty, so we chose to go there. We made a reservation for 5 people in advance, and when we arrived, our table was ready. We were unsure of what to order, but we decided on the special set with ikura and crab pasta in tomato cream sauce! This year is Royal Host's 50th anniversary, so there were various special sets available. The pasta was 1480 yen and the special set was an additional 790 yen, totaling around 2800 yen including tax. Soon, the set salad and onion gratin soup were brought to us. The onion gratin soup is a classic and it was rich and had a great onion flavor. The green salad was simple but the dressing was flavorful and delicious! The set also came with a drink bar, with a decent variety of drinks available. Then, the main dish arrived! The pasta was cooked perfectly and the crab and ikura were fresh and had a great texture! After finishing our meal, dessert was served. We had the choice of coffee jelly or sweet potato, and we chose the coffee jelly. The hint of coffee bitterness was delightful and tasty! The atmosphere in the restaurant was relaxing and we were able to enjoy our time there even though we were a large group. We would love to come back again! Thank you for the meal!

I had lunch at Cosmo Dining in Higashi-Shinjuku. The lunch set was quite rich, but the lemon in the center added a nice touch and made it delicious! The service was of high quality, not what you'd expect from a family restaurant. Thank you for the meal!

This store is conveniently located right above the station, so I often use it to satisfy my hunger. I chose a small beef stew to fill my stomach, as there doesn't seem to be a large size available. The taste is relatively mild with a strong acidity, but it has a gentle flavor. The texture of the onions, which are left with a crunch, adds an accent. I thought this would be a great snack to go with alcohol.

I visited a family restaurant with excellent infection control measures and a welcoming atmosphere for children after many years, and I was surprised by the high quality. I wanted to get enough protein, so I chose the chicken steak, but there were many other menu items I wanted to try. The most surprising thing was the drink bar. The drink bar at Royal Host doesn't feel cheap at all. The foam on the machine-made café latte is really creamy. They also have cocoa and 100% orange juice, which made the kids very happy. Despite their parents' wishes, they kept drinking Calpis. It was a wonderful family restaurant that made me want to visit again.

Long time no see, Royal Host! Royal Host is known for its slightly higher prices compared to other family restaurants, with some items costing more than double. For example, the seafood gratin is around 1500 yen, and the hamburger plate with salad is about 5000 yen, with a little change left over. However, the recent reforms in family restaurants are amazing. The dishes at Royal Host are so well-prepared that it might make you think, "Why go to a mediocre Western restaurant when you can just go to Royal Host?" The seafood gratin uses miso in the shrimp sauce, creating an incredibly rich flavor that might make you want to order seconds. The hamburger, although likely frozen, has improved to the point where it tastes delicious without any of the typical frozen food smell. Royal Host is the best!

The curry in the family restaurant world continues to evolve, and recently, Denny's curry has been raising the bar, which is great to see. However, I still believe that the champion is Royal Host. One of their signature dishes, the Beef Jawa Curry, has been served for about 50 years and continues to satisfy with its delicious quality. The flavors of the onions and finely cut beef blend perfectly, and the chutney and pickles on the side complement the dish well. Even in today's diverse curry scene, the solid personality of Royal Host's curry remains unshakable. It's a shame that the annual curry fair has not been held in recent years, but the Beef Kashmir, which was a limited menu item during the fair, has been promoted to a regular menu item, making it difficult to choose between Jawa and Kashmir when I visit. Both are incredibly delicious, and all the other dishes are also tasty, with excellent service. While the prices may be slightly higher for a family restaurant, the satisfaction you get makes it a great deal.

Royal-san, who often stays at the airport in Tokyo, has his breakfast at the business hotel, Hotel Mets Mejiro, in front of Higashi-Shinjuku Station. From July 2020, the breakfast buffet was suspended, and as of May 2021, they still offer a set menu of Japanese and Western dishes for 1500 yen. When comparing the accommodation plans with and without breakfast, the price difference is not significant. It seems to be a special menu for Hotel Mets. The set menu includes one plate, soup, and a drink bar (including milk and fruit juice). Even though it took some time for the food to be served, the breakfast was delicious and filling. It may not be suitable for those in a hurry, but it is of high quality for a business hotel breakfast.

After finishing my business in Higashi-Shinjuku, I stopped by this restaurant located right next to Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway Higashi-Shinjuku Station. I had seen a segment on TBS TV show "Job Tune" on 11/23 featuring Royal Host's dishes, and it looked delicious so I decided to try it out. The restaurant is located on the first floor of a hotel, with a Bamiyan restaurant on the basement floor as well. I entered the restaurant and wrote down my name. After a short wait, I was seated at my table. - Items ordered: 1. Domestic pork loin pork steak for 1,230 yen 2. British-style bread for 220 yen My companion ordered the foodie chef salad brunch set (onion gratin soup, garlic toast half set) for 1,330 yen with a drink bar. First, the onion gratin soup arrived, which was delicious with melted cheese and onions. Then, our main dishes arrived. The domestic pork loin pork steak was juicy and flavorful, the meat was tender and delicious with the sauce. However, the carrots were a bit hard and the parsley looked wilted. The British-style bread was simply delicious. We decided not to order dessert. My companion's foodie chef salad brunch set was full of vegetables and simply delicious. The garlic toast half was just the right amount. The coffee cups at the drink bar needed refilling, as they were running out. There were many female customers in the restaurant, with a majority being older women. The restroom was always crowded.

The calm atmosphere is charming. Located just a 1-minute walk from Higashi-Shinjuku Station, this is a family restaurant. As the name suggests, Royal Host, the quality of the food and prices are a bit higher than others. However, the food is delicious and the interior is calm! It's perfect for when you want to work with a laptop or have a simple meeting! Of course, there's no problem with just going to eat. The taste may not compare to specialized restaurants, but with a wide variety, it receives high praise as a family restaurant!

I visit the Royal Host Higashi Shinjuku Ekimae store several times a month. I usually have a regular lunch or a hamburger set, but this time I decided to try their pasta as I have started exploring the world of pasta. I ordered the Eggplant Bolognese, which was delicious as always. While it may not be the authentic Italian taste you would find at a specialized Italian restaurant, it was satisfying for a pasta dish at a family restaurant. However, as a pasta enthusiast, I prefer to enjoy pasta at Italian restaurants whenever possible, so I will try to continue my quest of having pasta at a different Italian restaurant each day.

I used it for the first time, but the inside of the restaurant was spacious and very clean. I ordered shrimp tomato cream pasta, but the taste was surprisingly bland from the appearance. The shrimp was watery and the taste was very disappointing. The onion gratin soup was a bit salty, but it was okay delicious.

I had the domestic pork loin cutlet set meal with special tonkatsu sauce at Royal Host for the first time in a while. It's my favorite family restaurant! The pork cutlet was crispy on the outside and delicious. Even though Royal Host is not cheap, the quality is consistent and everything I've tried there has been good. I forgot to order the onion gratin soup this time since I ordered the set meal, but it's a menu item I definitely want to try next time.
