Basic Difference Between Business Hours and Last Order (L.O.)
Korean Kitchen ZEN Tennoji's business hours are clearly stated as '17:00–23:00', while the last order (L.O.) is at '22:00'. These two are not the same and should be distinguished when planning your visit.
Business hours (17:00–23:00) refer to the entire period the restaurant is open. In contrast, L.O. 22:00 is the final time orders for food and drinks are accepted.
- Business hours: 17:00–23:00 (restaurant open)
- Last order: 22:00 (final time to place orders)
5-Hour Ordering Window and 1-Hour Closing Preparation
From 17:00 to L.O. 22:00, you can order food and drinks for about 5 hours. After 22:00, no new orders can be placed, and the hour until closing at 23:00 is for enjoying your meal, conversation, settling the bill, and preparing to leave.
Being aware of this time difference helps you pace your meal and plan additional orders.
- 17:00–22:00: Orders accepted (5 hours)
- 22:00–23:00: No additional orders (1 hour for dining, payment, and preparing to leave)
Points to Check Before Visiting
If you confuse L.O. 22:00 with closing at 23:00, you may miss the chance to order your desired food or drinks. Especially if visiting late, it's important to place your orders by 22:00.
Details such as the latest entry time, reservation deadlines, or maximum stay duration are not published, so it's recommended to visit and order early if you have specific dishes or drinks in mind.
- No additional orders after 22:00
- Use the time before closing for payment and preparing to leave
- Order desired dishes early
Example Usage Scenario
For example, if you arrive at 21:30, you can order food and drinks until 22:00. If you want to place additional orders at 21:50, it's just before L.O., so it's safer to decide and order everything you want at once.
After 22:00, no new orders can be made, but you can enjoy your meal and conversation at your table until 23:00.
- Arrive at 21:30 → Orders accepted until 22:00, stay until 23:00
- Make additional orders before L.O. to avoid missing out
