Located about a 3-minute walk from Asakusa Station A1 exit, inside the Asakusa Rokku area "Richmond Hotel Asakusa," is the restaurant "ROYAL Mirai Dining & Kitchen Asakusa Richmond Hotel branch." I visited for the first time on a sunny afternoon in late March. The restaurant has a total of 44 seats, including terrace seating. I was seated at a 2-person table inside the restaurant. I looked at the menu on the table. Feeling a bit tired, I decided to order the "New York Cheesecake" (650 yen) with a "Drink Set" (200 yen). The New York Cheesecake came with cream and berry sauce on the side, and it was a delicious dessert that wasn't too sweet, just the way I like it. I enjoyed a cup of iced coffee and took a relaxing break. It was a satisfying meal.

Located on the first floor of the Richmond Hotel in Asakusa, this family restaurant is part of the Royal Host chain. It has a terrace and is a bit more stylish than your usual Royal Host. I stopped by for a break on a weekday morning. Since this is where hotel guests have breakfast, they offer a drink bar. I had the pancake set (550 yen) with American coffee (200 yen). The pancakes were not too thick but quite large. I poured plenty of syrup on them and enjoyed the simple American coffee. The restaurant has a terrace, making it a casual and convenient spot for tourists in Asakusa. Thank you for the meal.

I was looking for Itanova, but the receptionist on the first floor of the hotel told me that it has now changed to Royal Mirai Dining. The menu seems to have changed from the Itanova days. Since I had come all the way here, I decided to go in. The restaurant has a spacious interior with terrace seating as well. I ordered a lunch set with a drink bar, which had homemade juices and freshly brewed coffee instead of the usual drink bar you find at places like Gusto. I ordered pasta, which was well-seasoned and delicious when mixed with the pasta. I also tried a bite of the tonkatsu, which was made with premium pork and had a nice meaty texture. It was really tasty.

I understand that it's tough, but... I decided to visit because breakfast service had resumed, even though it was only breakfast. The Western-style breakfast costs 1500 yen. There are also options like a Japanese set meal, soba set meal, tuna sashimi and beef tendon stew set meal, pancake set, and steak bowl, all priced at a flat rate of 1500 yen. In the buffet days, you could have everything for 1600 yen, so the cost performance feels quite poor... After ordering, I realized that the food is being prepared, but the voices of the part-time ladies saying "What do I do with this?" and "Is this right?" echoed throughout the restaurant... Is there no pride in the service industry?! I think Mr./Ms. ●● would agree with me on this. There was hardly any trace of the pre-COVID days... Most of all, it's a shame that the hall was lacking the sight of staff members who were attentive, hardworking, and had lovely smiles.・°°・(＞_＜)・°°・. I purposely posted this review, even though I had given high scores before... Thank you for the meal.

I really liked it. I visited before work. It seemed like there were fewer guests staying, so I was guided smoothly. I had eel rice, tuna with sesame sauce, beef tendon stew, curry, yakisoba, mapo tofu, grilled mackerel, miso mackerel, scrambled eggs, mentaiko, various side dishes, and plenty of fresh vegetables. The staff members are always efficient and provide great service, but this time they seemed even more energetic, and I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast. Considering the variety of dishes, the speed of replenishing them, and the service, I think 1600 yen is a great price. I will visit again.

I really enjoyed my visit to this restaurant. I arrived around 8:30 am for a walk before work. I had been turned away a few times recently due to priority given to hotel guests, but I was finally able to dine in this time. The breakfast buffet was priced at 1600 yen (including tax). The new dishes included fried eggplant with ginger sauce, chicken in sweet vinegar sauce, fried white fish, hoikoro (Japanese dish), raw tarako (cod roe), and pumpkin simmered in lemon. Everything was delicious. The buffet dishes are served in small portions, so you can enjoy freshly cooked items like fried foods. I also had eel rice, marinated tuna, curry udon, and more, and I left very satisfied. I look forward to trying their lunch menu next time.

Sunday lunch with friends! We found this place while looking for somewhere to have lunch with 8 people. One person wanted to eat omurice, so I was hoping to find a suitable Western-style restaurant. When we saw the sign saying "Omurice" outside, we decided to go in, especially since they had a terrace where smoking was allowed. I ordered the grilled chicken. The set meals, including pasta, omurice, and pizza, all ranged from 1000 to 1400 yen and came with a salad buffet. The buffet had a small selection, but everything looked fresh. The drink bar had 2-3 options for an additional 100 yen, which I thought was a bit pricey, but I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere on the terrace in a prime location in Asakusa. Thank you for the meal! I wonder if this place can also be used as a dog cafe? I want a dog~

The breakfast buffet with great cost performance in the Ueno-Asakusa area is my main battlefield for breakfast. I have visited this area for breakfast half the year, and have visited about 20 times this year. The features include eel rice, Fukagawa-meshi, tuna bits, daily fried foods, grilled foods, and pasta, quick replenishment of dishes, efficient staff, and terrace seating. The lineup includes 4 types of fresh vegetables, potato salad, grilled tarako, rolled omelette, salt-grilled salmon, white ae, mozuku seaweed, okra ohitashi, simmered Chikuzen, simmered fuki, simmered eggplant, natto, nori scrambled eggs, sausages, beef tendon stew, black pepper chicken, salmon fry, yakisoba (daily specials), udon, Fukagawa-meshi, eel rice, white rice, tuna bits, grated yam, ochazuke set, curry bread (6 varieties), 3 types of fruit, yogurt, cocktail fruit, fruit jelly, 6 types of cold drinks, coffee, and tea. I always enjoy the eel rice, mountain topping, and beef tendon stew. The salmon fry from the daily specials was also very delicious. Even without eel or tuna, within this price range, it is a very satisfying breakfast. The atmosphere is clean and there is no typical sluggish feeling you might find in a business hotel buffet. Just the eel rice and other Japanese dishes alone are worth it. The price was raised after the tax increase, but it is still 1600 yen. I look forward to visiting again.

Hamburger demi-glace sauce (served with sunny-side-up egg)

The taste doesn't match the price. There are few lunch menu options, and you can't order from the regular menu during lunch hours. The restaurant is a bit small. However, there aren't many clean dining options outside of the main street, so I recommend it for its cleanliness.

This is a shop located on the first floor of Richmond Hotel Asakusa. There are two Richmond Hotels in Asakusa. It is located next to the Premier. Guests also have breakfast here. They also serve lunch. The interior of the shop has a stylish Italian-style terrace seat. It's a nice place to enjoy a stylish lunch. I wonder how many times I've used Richmond Hotel Asakusa after night shifts. I always have extra breakfast vouchers. Here, you can use breakfast vouchers as lunch vouchers - if the amount exceeds, you can pay the difference. Lunch comes with a salad bar and soup bar. They offer a variety of dishes such as pasta, steak, and tuna set meals. Sometimes they offer leftover breakfast for free (laughs). I ordered the steak lunch - the meat was quite thick and juicy. The Japanese-style grated radish sauce was good. The meat was a bit tough, giving a strong "meat!!" feeling. I prefer it a bit softer. The price is a bit high, but it may be popular with women. Please enjoy a chic lunch.

I went for lunch on a regular day. The interior of the restaurant was bright and stylish. I ordered the Grilled Chicken with Spicy Sauce (1,300 yen). It came with a salad bar and soup, and I was happy to find out that there was also a small dessert available. There was even coffee jelly, although it's not shown in the photos. The salad bar had a variety of options like seaweed salad, glass noodles, and potato salad in both Japanese, Western, and Chinese styles. The Grilled Chicken and pasta were both quite delicious. My husband and I shared the Shrimp and Cod Roe Japanese-style pasta (1,100 yen). The male waiter was attentive, regularly checking on the customers. Overall, the atmosphere was nice. They also have terrace seating and desserts, so I would like to come back alone next time for something other than lunch.

On a weekend in December around Asakusa, it was crowded. The streets and shops, especially traditional sweets shops and small drinking spots, were overflowing with people. I was looking for a place to have some tea when I noticed a restaurant on the first floor of a hotel with empty seats even from outside. I went in and found a casual Italian dining bar atmosphere. But since I was in Asakusa, I wanted to have some sweets. I ordered Shiratama Anmitsu (I think around ¥700, with green tea). It was delicious in a basic way. It was a nice place to stop by for a break.

Italian cafe located a short walk from Senso-ji Temple towards Tsukuba Express Asakusa Station. The cafe is located on the first floor of Richmond Hotel Premier Asakusa. After strolling around Senso-ji Temple, I decided to take a break and stopped by this cafe. Upon entering, I was guided to the open terrace seating facing the street. Customers having lunch were seated indoors, while those just having coffee seemed to be placed on the terrace. Since there were no other customers on the terrace, I felt a bit embarrassed but enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere. I ordered an "Iced Coffee" for 464 yen. There were bars and restaurants open during the day along the street in front of the cafe. It was a holiday, so there were quite a few people drinking. I envied them as I leisurely enjoyed my iced coffee.

The other day, I tried to have lunch at "Marugoto Nippon" in Asakusa, but it was super crowded due to being a tourist spot! There was a wait of up to 2 hours, so feeling discouraged, I decided to head back the way I came and found a nice restaurant next to "Marugoto Nippon." I only had to wait about 30 minutes to get in, so today I will introduce ITANOVA, a cafe & restaurant. Surprisingly, even on weekends, they offer a lunch set with a salad & soup bar. So, I ordered the "Japanese-style grated hamburger (1,404 yen)" and a "draft beer (520 yen)." It's a holiday after all, so why not have a drink during the day, right? The salad bar had a wide variety, from beans and cellophane noodles to my favorite long corn, and even grapefruit. You can choose from 3 types of dressings. The soup of the day was corn potage. And now, the beer! The bitterness is slightly strong, perhaps because the interior of the restaurant is reminiscent of a European cafe & restaurant. But in the hot summer, this bitterness is just perfect. The Japanese-style hamburger may look small at first glance, but it is thick and juicy, with the meat juices spreading in your mouth. The Japanese-style sauce permeates not only the hamburger but also the accompanying vegetables like potatoes and cucumbers, making it delicious! ITANOVA also has terrace seating, where you can enjoy your meal while watching the leisurely flow of time in Asakusa. During this season, perhaps due to the heat, you can usually get a seat on the terrace without much of a wait, so if you ever find yourself struggling to find a place for lunch in Asakusa, be sure to give it a try.

The other day, I stayed at the "Richmond Hotel Premier Asakusa International" and enjoyed a luxurious Japanese breakfast. I had the opportunity to stay at the Richmond Hotel Asakusa this time and used the breakfast service. The hotel is located just across the street from the Premier hotel, and during the check-in process, several Premier guests mistakenly came to this hotel. In this area, this hotel stood out for offering Tokyo specialties for breakfast. Despite the size of the hotel, the seating area is limited and there can be quite a wait during peak hours. Breakfast is limited to hotel guests only. The standout dishes were the Fukagawa Meshi with plenty of clams, beef tendon stew, and marinated tuna. The rest of the menu was standard for a thousand yen class, with one standout being what appears to be just meatballs but actually has lots of sliced olives in a tomato sauce, showing the restaurant's Italian influence in the heart of Asakusa.

In the Richmond Hotel cafe behind Asakusa Temple, the atmosphere is great and perfect for a date. On a hot day, my wife and I ordered two cake sets. It felt like a date, just missing our daughter in the middle (laughs). The drinks were normal, but the cakes were surprisingly huge for a cafe. The Blueberry Yogurt Parfait was also generously sized. Good value for the money. The best seats seem to be on the terrace where the wind blows through.

While located in Asakusa, this cafe has an open terrace vibe. I decided to stop by as it seemed like a perfect place to have some tea. It was the middle day of the Sanja Matsuri festival in Asakusa, so the streets were livelier than usual. The cafe was indeed crowded. When I walked by, I noticed an empty table on the terrace and decided to go in. I ordered an iced cafe au lait and an iced coffee, but even after 10 or 15 minutes, they didn't arrive. Getting impatient, I asked the staff, and it turned out that my order had not been placed, so I had to order again. Finally, after about 25 minutes, my drinks arrived. I had to rush because I had other plans, so I couldn't relax. Even at the register, it took a long time. Since it's a touristy spot, I understand that it gets busy, and there are probably other busy days as well. I just wish they could improve the service somehow.

It was average. I was a little hungry, so I went in alone. It's a comfortable place even for solo diners. I ordered the prosciutto calzone and oolong tea. The oolong tea had a unique flavor, maybe it's old or just the way it is. It was a bit bitter, probably not brewed here. The calzone dough and filling were average, I prefer it to be more crispy with some air inside. The sauce was tangy, cheese was strong, and the filling didn't have much presence of prosciutto. The pizza was average, so I'd like to try the pasta next time.
