‘Please just go’: Chinese tourists asked to leave Osaka restaurant

Two Chinese women claimed they were driven out of a restaurant in Osaka, Japan, because of discrimination against Chinese tourists. But according to the restaurant, the women were at fault. The restaurant claimed they stayed at their table even after their 90-minute time limit was over, and threw cs on the ground.

I am going to side with the Japanese here. Anyone who ever visited Japan would agree.

[noer]

"I've never seen such disgusting eating habits"
That means alot in japan

[ndomingo]

For many reasons, I don’t trust the Chinese version. Anytime they get called out for their bad behavior they yell discrimination.

i'm a foreigner living in japan for more than 20 years and i have observed many chinese tourist visiting japan that have a very bad manners throwing garbage anywhere and arrogant,

[fixpacifica]

It takes a lot to get a Japanese business to show disrespect to a customer. These women must have been behaving very badly.

[yoloswaggins]

1. She dodged the question about her bad manners
2. The restaurant refused to take their money
What more evidence do you need?

[TenorMan]

Imagine being so disgusted that you refuse their money

[paulearl]

A Chinese family brazenly skipped ahead of me in line when I was in Japan. When I objected they called me racist aswell. Obviously the go to defence. Never met ruder people.

I'm chinese but I'm going to have to side with the Japanese man here, he seemed genuinely upset about their table manners and didn't bring up race a single time.

[marckye]

If he was really discriminating against Chinese, he wouldn't even let them sit in his restaurant.

I’m not from Japan, but I never saw someone in Japan being rude to another person, especially a customer. Always very polite and hospitable, this was probably their own doing, stop blaming your ethnicity.

Didn’t The Chinese government have to publish a booklet for how Chinese tourist were expected to behave when they left the country? I remember this being a problem several years ago when the Chinese toured other countries.

[aiyulee]

When the restaurant doesn't even accept the money while the women have eaten buffets more than 90 mins, then the truth has been spoken

[demz]

There’s no clear evidence against either party. But since the owner or waiter didn’t even asked for the women to pay, I’m gonna go with his side of the story.

[benzielist]

It's true.. I'm from Tokyo.. Chinese people eat as thev not eaten for a week .. n eat it in such speed that they would finish the whole food items not thinking there's someone else that need to eat too... really very greedy people

[annmarigoldmagat]

Yup in the Philippines I experienced Chinese spitting everywhere even inside of the elevator and the Filipino janitor told them not to do it anymore I know not all Chinese but most of them, no to racism just stating facts.

[tatih]

Im chinese, but believe the Japanese man.

[audychan]

You know you did something *real* bad when a Japanese restaurant kicks you out and don't even want your money.

Honestly I had encountered similar behaviour from chinese tourist in Singapore when I had buffet at seoul garden, Singapore. They came in group and the noise they made is deafening. None stop talking loudly and they way the fill their plate as though they didn’t eat for week. Surely they cannot eat all the food. What an attitude.

[ldonkmi]

It's not discrimination, it's ethics.
