MUJI Diner

This is about the basement restaurant in level B1 of the Muji Ginza store. For a flagship store like this one, the food simply wasn’t good enough. Portuguese risotto with cod and octopus tasted of nothing, and the octopus was chewy. It was supposedly cooked with wine but there was nothing in evidenc...e. Steamed vegetables with creamed sesame sauce weren’t much better - the only tasty item in this set was grated carrot salad with daikon. The standard is way below what we would expect from a big brand like Muji - we’d have been better off (both financially and in terms of taste) buying some items in the first floor bakery. There wasn’t much choice either. Come on, Muji, you can do better than this.

I was unable to finish my meal because of the tasteless pasta Muji served. It took a long time since the waiter insisted that that I have already pressed their online order, but in truth it has not registered in their kitchen. I deliberately went there to experience their cafe, but it was really dis...appointing.

Avoid if your a foreigner. Food is expensive over priced and not that brilliant. Visited for a second time and alarmed to find that Japanese people were allowed to jump the queue. As a foreigner I was offered an inferior seat, when I asked if I could move to another seat I was told it wasn’t a...vailable after 1600. Checked in the same area to find a Japanese couple who was not part of any part just taking a seat next to that table. Personally I think it’s appalling that I should be treated differently because of my skin color/nationality.

They had a Thai festival at the restaurant at the time and the Thai food on the menu was delicious. However, the regular menu was only okay. The service was below average. The male waiter was not very attentive and forgot basic things like giving us a jug of water which we had to ask for. I wou...ld skip this place because there are so many great restaurants in Ginza.

What a let down! We have Muji in our country and we love the food. So we were thought the food must be great in the home country. We could not be more wrong. We ordered the dinner set which cost us 7,500 yen each. The food is not good at all! We couldn’t wait to finish and leave. We should have ch...ecked TripAdvisor earlier. One recent reviewer said not to eat there. On a happier note. The restaurant on the 6th floor is way better and reflective of typical Tokyo high standards and quality.
