Family Restaurant

Japan has many family restaurants, or famiresu, which are chain restaurants that are often open 24 hours. Common family restaurants include chains like: Jonathan's, Denny's, Gusto, Cocos, etc. These restaurants serve all kinds of food from salads and appetizers to main dishes like hamburgers, curry, steak, udon, and desserts. The menu is usually quite extensive, covering a wide variety of cuisines and meals. The prices can vary, but are usually very affordable and provide quick service in a welcoming atmosphere. Most family restaurants are spacious, offering customers the choice between smoking or non-smoking areas. Although smoking in restaurants isn't as common practice in the United States, smokers can enjoy closed off sections at certain restaurants in Japan to light up while they enjoy their meals.

A popular feature of family restaurants is their drink bars, or all you can drink option< for a low price (usually around 300 yen or $2.80). There is a great variety of drinks available ranging from orange juice, sodas, coffee, tea, etc. Many family restaurants do not have time limits either, allowing customers to stay for several hours.
