Ordering methods and reviews
The ordering system on the first floor of Marubayashi Braised Pork Rice is similar to a buffet. Customers can first select their dishes from the self-service counter, and then choose their main course and soup. After ordering and taking their seats, the staff will bring them a confirmation slip. If they want to order more, they can wave to the staff for assistance. After finishing their meal, they can pay at the door.
The staff often recommends that customers choose bento boxes, as they are not only more economical but also offer a delicious combination of a main dish and three side dishes. Compared to ordering individual rice dishes, bento boxes not only provide a main dish but also offer more affordable side dishes.
Therefore, you may see many regular customers buying bento boxes in the store and then sitting down to eat.
However, some guests have complained about insufficient staff on the first floor, which may have made some guests feel neglected. Nevertheless, Marubayashi Braised Pork Rice is still a recommended buffet restaurant that can satisfy your culinary cravings.
