家族で5年ぶりに食べに行きましたが、店内に入ること猫のおしっこ臭い匂いが漂っていました。味は、油身の多いかつでした。家族は二度と行かないと言っていました。味より店内と接客を考えた方がいいですね。

浦和には特徴的な鰻屋さんがありますが、小島屋は大皿で供される大ぶりの蒲焼きと古典的な日本家屋の店構えです。ただし大皿の蒲焼きは当然、値段も張りますので、その点は承知の上で注文してください。3匹分で12000円です。もちろん普通の鰻重もあります。鰻重は3段階あって写真の松がちょうど真ん中で約4500円で、肝吸いとお新香が付きます。鰻の味は人それぞれに好き好きがありますので、コメントは難しいです...

連休に訪問しました。入店までかなり待ちます。お料理は美味しいですが、お水やお茶も何度頼んでも来ない、家族で行きましたが1人分だけ注文が通ってなかったのか、かなり料理が遅れたりと、店員さんのサービスが全く行き届いてなく、あまり居心地はよくなかったので早めにでました。お料理のお味は美味しいのだから人の教育がなされてないのが残念でした。並んでまで入る価値はないなと思います。
