FRIJOLES BURRITOS & TACOS

Photo: http://www.frijoles.jp/index.html Pretty much like Chipotle, though not as good. 4 branches in Tokyo. Should be a good escape for non-Japanese residents when wanting to have something non-Japanese. You can choose what meats/vegetabl…

PIZZERIA BAGGIO

Photo from Tabelog Serves Italian-style pizzas that taste great. The best Italian pizza restaurant in the Roppongi area. Sort of hidden in the back street so you might find it hard to locate this restaurant for the first time. Worth a shot…

Gogyo

Very distinct Ramen -- thick, flavoraful, and fairly addictive. Though the location isn't very good (far from any stations), definitely a great place for both lunch and dinner. Personally, love their Kogashi Miso ramen and there's no other…

Onzoushi Matsurokuya

Photo from ヒトサラ Awesome beef-bowl lunch dish! You'd be impressed with the quality of their beef served at this pricing! I know it's a bit pricy for lunch but you should definitely give it a shot if you like beef. Just so good! I don't …

Photos from TOKYO CALENDAR Place for great aged beef. Even the French fries that come with it are good. Small place but comfortable to come for a date or a good meal with friends/colleagues. Pricing is the only reservation. Wines here are …

Ippudo

Source: http://www.ippudo.com/ Pretty popular Tonkotsu-baesd (pork-based stock) ramen chain restaurant. Seemingly pretty famous in NY too. Tonkotsu-based Ramen is actully more accepted overseas than in Japan for its milky taste and many no…

Menya Musashi Kosho

"Musashi" is a well-branded for their Ramen places in Tokyo and they mostly serve soy-sauce-based soup, fish-stock type of Ramen. Very Japanese-like taste. One of the bests in the soy-sause Ramen category, I belive. You may not like it tha…
