Fantastic omakase. Small space, seats only about 10 so make sure you have a reservation. No English sign so make sure you know what building looks like--is on third floor.
Famous for the best pork tonkotsu in Tokyo. Worth the splurge to try the Kurobuta Pork (said to be the best 🐷 in the world)!
The white shoyu wonton ramen is excellent. Probably the best wonton ramen in town. The chashu is pretty good too.
One Michelin starred restaurant. Only fix course menu worth 6,000 yen. That’s a bit pricey for Yakitori, but be well worth going!!
Bring a date who loves draft beer. Great rotating selection of craft brews in an intimate setting. The bar is also the kitchen. Not necessarily good for large groups but try anyway!
Cozy and intimate, bartender will make you whatever you want based on flavors and liquors you prefer. I recommend Yamazaki and White Lady.
Not very Japanese (couldn't see local people while there, everyone was western) but amazing atmosphere and good food. Staff is friendly and the skewers are really good (try the cheese and pancetta)!
Great experience! Okonomiyaki was so yummy! You will smell a lot after as the clothes and hair soak up lots of smoke but the food is really good. Not the healthiest but certainly yummy
this place is amazing. order the cold udon with chicken tempura and the hot udon with shrimp tempura. the tempura is the best i’ve ever had, ever. order one hot and one cold, as it’s very different!
Best ramen I have had in Japan so far. Rich and savory soup with many kinds of toppings! If you get all the toppings, there's a discount. However, next time I think I'd do without the fish eggs paste.
They have an English menu now, pictured. Unique place mixing Japanese coffee culture and quality coffee, which is lost in most third wave shops in Japan. Pricey, but worth it.
Definitely recommend the beer flight, fabulous way to get acquainted with their selection of brews. Rocking Chair also good.
This was rec'd to me as Best Ramen in Tokyo & it didn't disappoint. You order with 2 variables -- spicyness (I went 2 of 4) and numbing (I went 3 of 4). Numbing is amazing (& I'd rec'd going 4 of 4)
Amazing tonkatsu. Get the “Rossu” option which is the fattier pork. The wait isn’t too long. Sit at the bar downstairs if you can. Sometimes they’ll send you upstairs if you’re in a group.
Traditional soba shop. Been around longer than my grandpa. White soba Sarashina is unique. Firm and bouncy. Incredibly light. Get it with some tempura. Also try the fried sardine "chip" Tatami Iwashi
Excellent pork. Get the himuro-buta if you want something flavorful and very fatty. So good.
Michelin star class. One of the best sushi in Ginza. Very high quality cuisine with a perfectly matched traditional ambiance. Reservation required well in advance. Sophisticated Japanese cuisine
The meats and their originating prefectures are proudly displayed and so you are definitely consuming top-notch beef.
Situated around a Zen-style garden, with almost as many rooms as the Imperial Palace, Toufuya-Ukai serves just about every dish, but it's the homemade twice-fried tofu that it is especially known for. 続きを読む
Unmissable, truly decadent fish bowl. Definitely curate an appetite before going here and get the maxxed out bowl with the Uni, you shan't regret it. And save some rice for the soup at the end!
Ohitsuzen - choice of meat or fish (choose bbq Eel) on a bowl of rice, with various condiments and miso soup. You mix it all together with brown rice tea. It's delicious and very cheap! 1850Y each.
The tuna set is mouth watering good and only 3000 yen. Well worth it for amazing sushi.
Get the set menu, you won't be sorry! If you want to remember after all the sake, take notes so you can know what you had.
One of the most famous and popular restaurant for Yummy and unpretentious gyozas. Opens at 11.30am but there's a line forming outside as early as 11.15am. My favorite is the fried gyozas with garlic.
Long line for lo mein style "wafuu" pasta at this rustic place in Yurakucho, yokozuna portion of Japone for only ¥750
"Taiyaki" is a fish-shape cake with sweet read bean paste filling inside. Custard cream and chocolate are also popular. Fun to see how chef is cooking while waiting in line.
absolutely delicious tonkatsu. lunch set which includes rice, miso soup, & tsukemono (pickles) is +¥200. the staff are very attentive & speak english. the restaurant is cozy & the seating is so cute.
Absolutely the best curry I have ever had. Get it SPICY! It isn’t too spicy at all for a US person.
Amazing yuzu citrus ramen - light broth. My favorite is the shoyu with extra cubs pork and large noodles.
Delicious, rich tskumen ramen. Got there 12.30pm on Thurs, wait was 40min but feels like it moves quickly.
So good, my favorite soba in Tokyo. I recommend getting the larger cut 'futokiri' soba with sesame dipping sauce, divine.
10,000+ records collected over 40 years by the owner and solo bartender! Ultra chill vibe. All drinks are 500 yen including many different whiskies and pour over coffee made carefully. Diverse crowd.
Came here at 6:45am on a Tuesday and waited for 15 mins only. Around 20 seats in the restaurant so come early! Def get the omakase - the sushi is really fresh!! 👌🏻😬
Fantastic modern-art museum. Large building that houses special exhibits and a rotating selection of its collection. If you want to get a taste of avant-garde Tokyo, this is the place for you.
The ramen they serve is a really rich tori paitan, or creamy chicken broth. You can get a variety of beautiful toppings. 続きを読む
everything is good here. craft beer flights for ¥1000. 500 mL glasses for same price. food is delicious and reasonable— grilled fish, yakitori, beer batter karaage, etc. amazing atmosphere. so fun!
Amazing assortment of drinks, personally a big fan of the Cachaça Martinez, but give the bartender an idea of what you like and they will hook you up with a drink that works.
Sashimi and tempura set is an ode to washoku, great ambience and a great place for a classy lunch
Outstanding udon spot in Shinagawa/Gotanda. Super flavourful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, wonderful tempura. Standing room only. Ordering in Japanese by machine only.
Always 1 of our favorite ramen; Ippudo. The Roppongi branch is spacious and staffs are courtesy and efficient. Obviously the ramen is superb!! 😍 a must if u r in Japan!
Really tasty authentic food! Try the skewered eel, stuffed peppers and skewered chicken - all really yummy. Fantastic cheap meal, can get busy but the food is still served very quickly.
Tofer said: The most amazing curry holy shit, its kind of a fusion between Japanese and Indian. Definitely map this place, there was no sign or business cards, friends in Tokyo swear by this spot.
Authentic Japanese cuisine. Try any fish dish, you can't go wrong. The house specialty is fried prawns and sardines.
Excellent fine dining experience. Make sure to make a reservation with time. Your hotel concierge can make it for you or if you have visa platinum or infinite, use the concierge service.
Any unagi dish is a sure thing. Food was amazing. But we had to wait on line 20 minutes. This place appears to be locally famous
This little shop down a hidden alleyway changed my taste forever. Manten Curry, meaning “full marks” or “perfect score” in Japanese, lives up to its name as one of the best places in Tokyo for curry.
Amazing Unagi dishes! They also have Western seating available (though in a different building). The Unagi dishes are delicious, I'd recommend the unagi liver skewers as they're very unique.
Amazing view, complimentary sweet umeshu shot, great tasty udon and broth. Ask for the thinner noodles, and you can order up to 3x the noodles for no extra cost.
Dora-Yaki (pancake stuffed with sweet red beans) is the best here. Especially the pancake is so nice and smooth and yet chunky
Not easy to find, it's in the thinly park just behind the public restrooms. Amazing food, atmosphere and service. We took the veggie tempura and the regular tempura ( chicken and shrimp) Must go!!!
The restaurant is Japanese style (you sit on the ground) and serves mainly small fishes on a pot and other traditional food. Nice location, food was ok.
If not one of the best places for tsukemen in Tokyo. With the thick fish broth and generous serving of noodles and meat (you can ask for more soup if needed), this store is a must visit.
Crazy good deal. All you can eat BBQ in 45 minutes for 950 yen. It's a bit of a wait to get in but well worth it.
The premium katsu was very rich- come with an empty stomach! The pork miso soup was delicious too. They have four kinds of salt, hot mustard, and katsu sauce as condiments for the katsu. So yummy!
Definitely worth a visit. Be sure to squeeze into the small alleys in the back - there are some excellent restaurants.
Don't come back w/o tasting sushi nearby bars. To see the whole action u should go there around 4-5am!
Extremely fresh Hokkaido's speciality sashimi bowl. Sea urchin was creamy and gushes with sea water flavour; one bite into the toro and it melted in my mouth. Highly recommend here.
Amazing sushi. Come early for a fish breakfast. Be prepared to queue as it is really popular. I loved the food here.
hidden gem for locals, great place without tourists! specially crafted edo style sushi is delicious!
