after some research on internet, i know this place enjoyed good reputation. then we went there in a rainy night on monday or tuesday. it was early. 17:00 -ish probably. we were tired. the weather was miserably wet and cold. but it's really worth all the effort. we had hot tempura -don. hot tea. it was a happy experience. VERY DELICIOUS ! the whole dish was delicious. the tempura shrimps, eels, poached egg, and the rice and the sauce. every elements worked. kanekoya did not let us down. i guess it's better to go there on weekdays to avoid the queue. no queue at all when we go there. next time we go to Tokyo. we gonna go to Kanekoya again.

We went a bit ahead in Mikata to visit the Ghibli museum and were looking for a place to eat. Very discreet but charming little restaurant. Only 8 persons can be accommodated but it contributes to the experience. The cook and her wife are extremely kind and cooking right in front of you. Delightful time there !

A little bit out of the way, but a very popular place with a sushi train bringing round some delectable dishes. I liked the maguro and the salmon with miso the best. My grandson whaled into a series of dishes including three plates of mini shizo rolls. There is piped hot water on tap at each table for tea-making which I hadn't seen before. A great family atmosphere and terrific lineup of sushi plates. And plenty of room in the restaurant so it is not squeezy at all.

Our Tokyo friends took us to this lovely restaurant near the park in Kichijoji. The restaurant itself is in a gorgeous setting, in the bamboo next to the park. We got not one, but two, amuse bouches (have no idea what the Japanese word is) that were good. We ordered their famous chicken wings, which were scrumptious. But my absolute favorite was the tofu loaf. Looking like bread rising in a wicker bowl, the tofu was as smooth and creamy as could be and was eaten only with ground sea salt. Absolutely delicious!

Well I had tasted several Japanese curries before and they all seemed to be made out of the same stuff, reminiscent of the Golden Curry packet curry mix.Not so with Mamezo. I had the mushroom curry and it consisted of thin strips of mushrooms in a delicious deep brown richly flavoured curry sauce with its own character unlike anything I had tasted before. The others in the party had differing curries with beef and vegetables and all were reportedly of the same quality.There was nice jazz playing, and the restaurant had a homely feel with lots of little memorabilia items around.It was a small dinky little restaurant in the Nakamachi area of Kichijoji, heading away from the station, just past that landmark neglected property with the vacant front yard and the tree growing through the roof! Then turn right two alleys past it then go 20 meters or so.I can still taste that curry now!! Do yourself a f(l)avour! Sorry about that!

10 mins walk from Ghibli museum along Inokashira park to kichijoji station locates this beautiful Yakitori restaurant with spirited way atmosphere . Always packed and cramped , no space between next table , smoky like hell and noisier than outside would be a compliment for this restaurant .For those coming to this place searching for a real classic local restaurant but not tourist-oriented one I would recommend to have a try of some Shumai(pork dim sum ) and Moriawase ( random selection of Yakitori ) here , and some beer maybe . It will be an easy and excellent experience .

Just like its shibuya mark city counterpart, long wait. Gave it a 3 only because of the rice quality and my regular visits to higher end alternatives. Has great variety though. From the maguro platter, ebi platter, silver fish variety platter...has everything under the sun...! To avoid long wait, come 11 am or after 2pm. The crab roe is No.1...

On our recent trip to Japan, our friends highly recommended us to try Matsusaka Beef and they also recommended Satou Kichijoji for the steak!We were in Kobe and we had two rounds of Kobe beef steak just a few days prior to our visit to Satou so it was still quite fresh in our mind the Kobe beef yumminess. Matsusaka beef is Kobe beef's competitor and some people might prefer Matsusaka than the more-famous-well-known Kobe beef.We went there on a Tuesday evening, the location was not really hard to find if you have internet and GPS!!!!! When you exit the station, goes towards the shopping arcades..yes, it's located in the "covered" shopping mall but not far from the Chuo line Kichijoji station.When we got there, there were a line of about 6 people, the waiter told us, the wait would be about 15 minutes.I'm giving 5 stars for service....I asked them to show me where the ATM was and one of the them actually WALKED me to 7Eleven and even waited until I finished getting money and walked me back to the restaurant!!!! omg, soooo nice!!!There were only enough seating for probably 6 people by the grill... the rest of the tables are just regular table, no grill. We got seated in the regular table.. no biggie but it just would have been nice if we could watch the chef cooked. This is NOT why I'm giving a 3 stars...The 3 stars is really merely the steak... sorry! There were two of us and we each ordered the famous 10,000 yen matsusaka beef steak dinner set. We also ordered (ala carte) the CHEAPEST steak they had on the menu so that we could compared the qualify of the meat.The cheap steak was not cheap.. it was about 2000 yen I think and it was chewy, not good. Even other steak that we had in Japan in which we paid less than 2000 yen for was a lot more tender than this one.They showed us the fame matsusaka beef steak before they went ahead and cooked them...the marbling looked a bit different than Kobe but the meat looked really good.Now, we tried the matsusaka steak without the sauce and we were dissapointed. It didn't taste any different than USDA prime beef that certainly would have cost us 1/5 to 1/3 of the price we paid. We also tried it with the dipping sauce that they provide..it was just ok.. it just helped with the flavor but it cannot save the taste of the meat itself. Keep in mind that a good steak, should not need any sauce.. salt and pepper should be enough.We purchased a few packs of the curry that they sold though (made with matsusaka beef), as souvenirs... we have not tried it yet.We were glad we went to eat here, just to experience it, the service was great, but the we certainly would eat Kobe beef instead the next time around.PS: the restaurant is tiny....

Most of the reviews for this place are for the beef croquette downstairs of this restaurant. Upstairs is the sit-down Matsuzaka beef wonderland. Given the price difference between the two floors, it makes sense that most people stick to the croquettes. However, given the time and budget, I would recommend getting some of the best Matsuzaka beef you can find. It brings a bit of a tear to the eye recollecting the flavor.
