Good food and fair pay, but strict work culture

Pros

The food is good, and the pay is fine. The workplace can be a good place to gain experience in a Japanese restaurant environment.

Cons

The Japanese work culture can feel strict. Staff meals are not free, and employees are expected to pay for them, which can be disappointing.
