When a meal plan changes: waiting or choosing another stop
Two of Haruru’s accounts record different choices: waiting at a familiar restaurant and moving lunch elsewhere.
Waiting at a familiar restaurant
Unable to reach Hakutousan by phone, she visited without a reservation. On that occasion she entered after about an hour and enjoyed trying a horumon dish she wanted to order again.
Choosing another meal after seeing a queue
On a separate day, crowds and queues changed a planned lunch at Ebina Service Area. She enjoyed a kalbi gukbap lunch at Jojoen instead. Compare the accounts when deciding how much time you can leave for waiting and what alternative meal you would enjoy.
These are past experiences, not evidence of today’s walk-in policy or waiting time.
