Ristorante Giapponese Tokyo 2 In Napoli

This is a big restaurant that gets busy. It was right next door to our hotel, so convenient, especially when a train strike prevented travel into the city for the evening, and we were rather "pizzad out"! We just speak English, and for us, trying to work out how on earth it all worked was, quite frankly, hellish to begin with. Stick with it though, and it turns out much better. For the poor souls in our position - here's the low-down... Very little English is spoken in here, especially by waiting staff. A couple of girls at the reception were much better. I know, I know, we should do better ourselves, but we are where we are, so... You go in and are shown to a table. One iPad sits on the table with no paper menu. There is no useful website. Nothing is in English. You use the iPad to order food, which then gets added to your bill. You can order all at once, or bit by bit, as you feel as you go along. There are two approaches. You have to decide and tell staff which one you are doing at the start, before you order anything. 1) You can order "A la Carte" - i.e. Just order individual dishes as you wish and pay for at the end. Or 2) "All You Can Eat" - this cost 29 Euros. For this you can order anything, endlessly. This does not include drinks or desserts. These are added separately in addition at the end. One problem is that it is physically difficult to both look at the iPad at the same time, and you can only have the one, as it is linked to your table and order. We ended up propping it up between us, and I moved round to be adjacent to my husband. Sitting opposite - it just didn't work. There are pictures of everything, and some familiar words as they are similar to the English version e.g. ramen etc. We had to spend quite a lot of time on Google translating key words - we soon worked out prawns/ pork/ clams/ chicken etc. It was hard work, but doable of course. Important tip - once you have pressed "Order" in your "basket" at the top of the page, you cannot order anything else for 5 minutes. You can of course, put several things in your basket before ordering. That threw us a bit until we worked it out. This doesn't apply for drinks though - they can be ordered without triggering a 5 minute wait. The food itself was good. The dishes weren't huge (on the all you can eat), but it meant we tried lots of things. Lovely hot and sour soup/ salt and pepper chicken/ prawns skewers to name but a few. Was a nice change from pizza - we had lots of amazing pizza, but sometimes you want a change. We were there on a Saturday night, and it was extremely busy by 8pm. Worth a go - great food, but be prepared if your language creates a hurdle! Actually quite a fun and funky way to do it all in the end!! The three stars reflects the whole process. The food would have been a four.

Tokyo 2 è un locale nella zona di Fuorigrotta, molto vicino all'Edenlandia. Locale gigante con più di 10 vetrine e con tantissimi posti a sedere, non ci saranno praticamente mai tempi di attesa per sedersi. Che dire, nonostante sia un sushi AYCE Tokyo 2 riesce a dare a tutti i piatti un sapore (molto occidentale) buonissimo, dai Gyoza (migliori mai assaggiati) a tutti i vari nigiri (da provare assolutamente quelli con salsa Teriyaki)
