This day we had dinner at a nearby family restaurant. After playing at the nearby park and exhausting ourselves in the scorching heat, my wife didn't feel like cooking dinner, so we decided to go to the family restaurant for a quick meal. The family restaurant had a drink bar, which made the kids happy as they could enjoy unlimited drinks. Lately, the family restaurant industry, especially those with a slightly higher-end focus, have been increasing prices by changing their menus and discontinuing 24-hour operations. However, Saizeriya has been trying to keep prices the same. As a result, it was crowded with families. With more families, the restaurant became noisy and messy, with many kids spilling things. The cleanliness seemed to be deteriorating, with corn kernels on the floor at our table. Perhaps due to low-cost operations, the staff seemed insufficient. They struggled to handle customer orders, food serving, dish clearing, and cash register duties promptly, resulting in longer wait times. We ordered Bolognese spaghetti and cod roe spaghetti. The kids prefer meat sauce spaghetti over Bolognese, so that was our choice. The cod roe spaghetti was also decent, made with ordinary ingredients. The low prices at Saizeriya continue to impress, even with the addition of a drink bar, the cost was around 1000 yen per person. Overall, 3.2 for value, 3.0 for food/taste, 3.0 for service, 3.0 for atmosphere, and 4.0 for cost-performance ratio.
