805Andrew Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 I didn't even know about this Lockup Restaurant. I wish the people I was hanging around with that day and I did this instead of Japanese Denny's, which was an experience in its own right.

There's always a reason to go back to Japan...but Denny's is not one of them.
cfc Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 ^Does Japanese Denny's serve country-fried katsu curry with eggs, bacon, and biscuits and gravy?
SharkTums Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 ^Actually, they may! I mean, of course Japan finds a way to make even our worst restaurants acceptable.
robbalvey Posted August 14, 2015 Author Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) I didn't even know about this Lockup Restaurant. I wish the people I was hanging around with that day and I did this instead of Japanese Denny's, which was an experience in its own right. Like I said, we just completely stumbled across it during our wandering around Nagoya. I've always felt the best most ef'ed up stuff you'll discover in Japan can't be found in any guidebooks or website guides, it's the random stuff you find while just exploring the cities!

Mrlittle Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 ^^^Denny's only had two breakfast items on the menu when we visited. The French toast was good. It's possible that they had a breakfast menu but maybe certain times of the day. I thought it was weird that 7-eleven own it. I definitely skip it next visit and go for the Lockup restaurant.
cfc Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 ^Actually, they may! I mean, of course Japan finds a way to make even our worst restaurants acceptable. I remember looking at the menu for the LaQua Denny's in 2007--lots of "interesting" items.

I wish they would of. That sounds pretty good. I've always felt the best most ef'ed up stuff you'll discover in Japan can't be found in any guidebooks or website guides, it's the random stuff you find while just exploring the cities! So true! I remember looking at the menu for the LaQua Denny's in 2007--lots of "interesting" items. There were some interesting and "out there" items. I ordered something from their Taste of Asia menu that was "Thai".

comet Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 That looks awesome, especially the drinks part! If I ever get back to Japan, this will be a must do!!
Garet Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 ^Does Japanese Denny's serve country-fried katsu curry with eggs, bacon, and biscuits and gravy? Oh Japan and your weird ways presenting curry. Although also Asia and it's weird random places themed around poop (ice-cream themed to poop, modern toilet restaurants in Taiwan, poop coffee shop here in South Korea etc.) http://nlab.itmedia.co.jp/nl/articles/1508/15/news026.html
Meteornotes Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 I've been away for about a month (including an awesome trip to Germany). I just read the Nagashima Spa Land update. Elissa has totally encapsulated my thoughts. You should write all of your updates after surgery while on Percocet. This. A billion times this. And that Lockup place looks completely insane. In a good way. dt
Nrthwnd Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 ...Like I said, we just completely stumbled across it during our wandering around Nagoya. I've always felt the best most ef'ed up stuff you'll discover in Japan can't be found in any guidebooks or website guides, it's the random stuff you find while just exploring the cities! Very very true. The random places to eat I've run into, in Japan over the course of a TPR trip, are incredibly diverse, wierd, crazy, and awesome. Sometimes all at once! And of course, there's always Meat-On-Stix! A lovely Sapporo, Japan restaurant. TPR 2013 Japan Tour.
Garet Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 And of course, there's always Meat-On-Stix! And what choices they have too. Even though it said chicken on the side, my Korean reading skills told me it was definitely chicken butts and not donkey meat that had been misplaced on the menu like my friend believed
Nrthwnd Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 ^ So here's what I noticed of those menu choices... White meat and perilla ASS meat Chicken tight Hormone Pork roas Poteto I love Japan.
jray21 Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 There are few things in this world as good as meat on a stick.
gerstlaueringvar Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 There are few things in this world as good as meat on a stick. Cinnamon bread on a stick.
Nrthwnd Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 And then there's bread dough on a stick.... Djurs Sommerland, TPR 2014 Scandi Tour.
jray21 Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 There are few things in this world as good as meat on a stick. Cinnamon bread on a stick. That would definitely qualify as one of the few.
