Suwa, Nagano, Japan｜Gusto

Way better then Denny’s and way cheaper too. Was a pleasant surprise for a couple tourists and would go there again. Try the pancake instead of toast. It’s only an extra 100yen but so worth it. Not like American pancakes. Way better.

I have been to this restaurant two times. It was due to my first experience that made me want to return. Because it is a family restaurant, I expected it to be noisy, which it was as a result of one group each time. There wasn't so much noise that took away from how easy it was to order. They have a ordering tablet on each table that could be put in Japanese, English and Chinese. I was able to order without speaking to anyone. Before my food arrived, which took some time since I ordered cut steak, I was really happy to find out that, at the drink bar, they had Dr. Pepper. That is quite unusual but they had a good assortment of soft drinks, which was better than I had seen at any other place. There wasn't much quantity of the cut steak but I was pleasantly suprised how good and soft the meat was. Overall the experience was one I would recommend. For a quiter experience, as usual you should avoid lunch time. On my second visit, I ordered a much lower calorie meal, which was really tasty. It was a big salad that had chicken on it. The calories for this was a little over 400. They have a really good selection that is easily ordered using their great ordering tablet. Their drink specials looked good as well, but I drove myself there and couldn't enjoy any of them.

During the trip, I had a morning set. It was cold for about 2 hours. 500 yen with a drink bar is the best.
