Kikko

Reviewed By nyww2015

Everything about the experience was excellent -- the food, the staff (who are also the performers) and the Japanese shamisen music! This is a short walk from Asakusa, where the Sensoki or Asakusa Kannon Temple is located. The restaurant is off the beaten track and so worth it!

T's TanTan Tokyostation

Vegan Ramen

Reviewed By SunLin

A gem of a vegan ramen shop buried in a far corner of crazy-busy Tokyo Station but soooo worth finding. Hint: ask for directions to the Uniqlo shop, go around the corner past the food store where hawkers are vying for your attention waving signs, then settle yourself at a small cozy table in this extremely popular cafe and prepare to slurp delish ramen with a sherbet chaser. The YUMMO factor is off the charts!

Yamabe Okachimachi

Reviewed By youyouxue

Very straightforward place. Wait in line outside, then wait in line inside, then place your order once you're at the front of the line, and sit down at one of 18 seats inside to have your meal. The set meal I had was the large roast katsu (950 yen), and it includes miso soup, a small salad, and a rather large serving of rice. Fresh katsu, regrettably a little gristly on the sides and could easily have been trimmed better. However overall taste was great. English menu is available upon request, most Japanese people inside just read the menu which is printed on the wall but only in Japanese.

After a morning of wandering through the wonderful madness of Akihabara we stopped by this nearby place for a much needed lunch break. We were lucky enough to get a couple of seats at a four-top table almost immediately and were only joined by another couple much later in the meal. But no doubt about it, this place is popular with the locals. English was not spoken when we were there, but there is a convenient English menu with pictures that helped bridge that gap. We had the soba with duck broth and the soba with Wagyu beef broth and tempura shrimp and shared a large bottle of beer. You can also substitute udon for soba on request if you like, but the soba (made in house of course) is the star here. Quite simply, this was some of the best soba we have ever enjoyed and we really enjoyed taking our time to enjoy this delicious lunch. At no point did we feel rushed by the very friendly staff and the ambience overall felt very neighbourly. If you are looking for simple but tasty food while in the area, you will certainly enjoy the food here.

Ishikawa

Reviewed By matu4

All the dishes of "Ishikawa" are really great.There are many fine Japanese restaurants in the Japan, but there are few opportunities to meet these great dishes.All of the dishes are simply refined, deep and delicate.There are a lot of dishes finished up to 90%, but if you want to meet a 100% tasting dish, there is no better restaurant than "Ishikawa".Mr. Ishikawa says that he will repeat the prototype dozens of times until the finished image of the dish.He continues his genius and constant efforts in cooking.The great thing about this place is that a number of young members are coming up.Mr. Ishikawa says a joke, but seems to be an Oriental philosopher who pursues the truth.Reservations are difficult, but don't miss out if you have the opportunity.

Gyukatsu Ichi Ni San

Very popular "Gyukatsu" (beef cutlet) restaurant that now runs 6 branches in Tokyo (as of October 2016). Note that Shibuya branches are always very crowded and you should expect to wait for an hour or so, I'd suggest you get there 30-60 minutes prior or g

Innsyoutei

Reviewed By Diane T

The restaurant serves traditional kaiseki food. Although our menu was supposed to contain meat, we managed to get a fish-only option, which was absolutely amazing! I was also told they can prepare a fully vegetarian course if booked in advance.Beautiful location and very fine dining for a great experience.

I have been to this place several times since and a high quality of the food remains the same. The food was delicious and prepared very quickly. It tasted fresh and was not too expensive at all, rather quite cheap. Amazing value and location as it is located right behind the donkey duty-free shop.
