Curry Rice Dylan

f:id:yuichironagai:20170806213302j:plain

Both super healthy and flavorful curry. Located in an area you'd go just for this restaurant,  a pretty tiny place (only 14 seats available), and is usually packed with customers.

Besides chicken curry, there's beans/seasonal vegetable curry so that you can do half-and-half. It seems like it's got all the nutrition you need for a day in one curry plate. I liked it a lot and will definitely come again. Worth the trip. 

My rating: 5.0

Sophisticated salt-based-soup Ramen in Ebisu, a bit of a walk from the station but it's worth the walk. I personally like it here more than AFURI, which is highly rated by those who like salt-based-soup Ramen. Simple and straightforward, and yet makes you want to eat it regularly. 

My rating: 4.5

A great Yakitori restaurant, very affordable and yet superb quality. Listed in the Bib Gourmand of the Michelin Guide. Felt this place is definitely worth it. Popular for their chicken-stock soy-sauce-based Ramen, too. I was a lot more impressed with their Yakitori than Ramen, though. 

Pretty small, traditional-looking restaurant with a tiny L-shape counter. Can still be used for a casual date dinner. Make sure to make a reservation in advance.

A nice little restaurant that is popular for its deep-fried, bread-crumbs-coated shrimp and fish dishes. The beef meat ball and curry dishes also seem pretty popular. The shrimp is particularly good and it's definitely worth a try.   

My rating: 4.5

An awesome restaurant for grilled fish dishes. Lunch is very affordable and yet the quality is exceptionally good. Go there for lunch first and see if you get impressed. Make sure to get there 11:30, because you'd have to wait in the line otherwise. Dinner is also great. This is one of THE places you have to check out if you are a fish person. 

My rating: 5.0+

A very well-known Napoli-style pizzeria, seemingly loved by many locals. Looking at the score in Tabelog, honestly I felt it's a bit overratet, but I guess the score shows how much the locals love this restaurant. Good service and atmosphere. Pizzas come fast. Very close from the station. Above average overall. 

My rating: 4.0

Great soy-sauce based, "Niboshi"-fish soup stock Ramen (popular for its "Tsukemen"-style Ramen) that comes with two different types of noodles to dip and eat. I personally like the thicker noodles, but the other one is pretty good too and it works as a nice change of taste. If you are a fan of soy-sauce-based Ramen, this is a must to try. 

They also serve regular Ramen (noodles come in a soup) but most customers order Tsukemen. You should order Tsuemen for the first time too.  

My rating: 5.0
