i agree, it's an absolutely wonderful restaurant, extremely atmospheric, very nice service

The restaurant in Kill Bill Episode 1 was actually a set in the Beijing Filmstudios, but was certainly inspired by the Nishi-Azabu branch near Roppongi.

I agree, it's an absolutely wonderful restaurant, extremely atmospheric, very nice service, excellent food, great cocktails and it's not even expensive.

I went there tonight for the first time, and have to go back as soon as possible!

I would recommend Gonpachi Nishi-Azabu as well. The whole atmosphere is great. We go to the one in Odaiba sometimes as well. Although not as cool looking, it is still fun.
I don't think they really filmed the Kill Bill scene in there. I heard that Tarantino liked the layout and the set for that scene was based on it.
Anyway, it's a cool place to take visiting Gaijin.

You probably spoke much better Eigo than you think! :) Eigo is very difficult to speak because there are so many different accents. It is hard for me to understand someone from England (cockney accent), India, or even from other places in the US. People in the south (US) sound very different from people in the north. I think when people learn another language their brains learn it like small children do - you can understand what others are saying, but it is very hard to speak in return! you need to practice to speak. If you don't speak the new language everyday, it is very difficult to have a conversation! Wakarimasu yo! It is the same for me with Nihongo. Yatta to gambatte Mari-san! ;)

I know exactly what you mean about writing rather than talking, especially in your non-native language. I am always happy to write to people in Japanese, but I know that I would be hopeless if I had to carry on a spoken conversation in this language.

Which branch of Gonpachi was featured in Kill Bill, the one near Azabu? I went there last year and I thought it looked familiar.
