🌉 LOMBARD’S LANDING – A Hidden Gem in USJ’s San Francisco Area
As you may know, Universal Studios Japan (USJ) is divided into several themed areas—like the New York Area, Super Nintendo World, and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Among them, the San Francisco Area hides a special treasure: Lombard’s Landing.
This elegant restaurant is usually closed, but during special seasons, it opens its doors just for you. While USJ can get super crowded during holidays, Lombard’s Landing offers a peaceful escape where you can relax in style and enjoy a delightful dinner.
Right now, the restaurant is beautifully decorated for Christmas, and the staff are dressed in adorable Santa hats! It’s festive, kawaii, and absolutely picture-perfect. 🎅🎄
🧀 Juicy Hamburg Steak with Grilled Cheese & Port Wine Demi-Glace
One of the stars of the Christmas menu is the juicy hamburg steak topped with grilled cheese and a rich port wine demi-glace—and let me tell you, it’s absolutely incredible.
What makes it so special? The tenderness! The steak is unbelievably soft—you won’t even need a knife. It’s so smooth and easy to bite into, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture that’s just perfect. On top, a grilled tomato adds a burst of juicy sweetness, while the melted cheese and velvety demi-glace bring a deep, savory richness. It’s juicy, creamy, and packed with flavor in every bite.
And don’t skip the sides! The potato cream is luxuriously rich, with a hint of earthy mushroom aroma, and the crispy fried burdock root (牛蒡) adds a delightful crunch that pairs beautifully. Even my little kids cleaned their plates—every last bite!
🍗 Creamy Chicken Fricassée with Truffle Foam
This dish is another holiday masterpiece. The creamy chicken fricassée is bursting with aroma, thanks to the delicate truffle foam that gently wraps the tender chicken in a cloud of flavor. The chicken is served on the bone, but it’s so tender that it practically falls apart with a touch of your fork.
The mushrooms add a lovely texture, balancing the softness of the meat. And don’t miss the golden crispy pie on the side—between the layers, you’ll find a luscious potato cream that’s rich and buttery. The contrast between the creamy chicken and the flaky pie crust keeps every bite exciting. You’ll never get bored of this dish!

Can Someone Please Tell Me Why?
The food and atmosphere at Lombard’s Landing were absolutely wonderful—even my husband, who was in a bad mood, couldn’t help but enjoy it. But honestly… I couldn’t stop wondering. Why do dads sometimes get so grumpy, even when we’re with the kids, heading into a magical amusement park like USJ?
Was his work just too exhausting? Did something tough happen that he didn’t share? I have no idea. I did my usual routine—cooked every day, took care of the family, picked him up at the station, cleaned the house, washed the dishes and laundry. Even when I’m tired, I try to stay cheerful.
So why? Why does this mysterious creature called “husband” spread his bad mood everywhere? Could you teach me why…?
