Seemingly, Ichiran became more popular for non-Japanese customers in Japan in the past several years. In general, western people tend to like Tonkotsu ramen (a.k.a. Hakata ramen) more than the other major flavors (fish-stock soy-sauce, mis…

A quality Italian restaurant located in the Tsukiji area. You'd probably visit Tsukiji for its fish market and may have some Sushi there in the early morning, so I'd recommend you come here for lunch for a chage. Both their pizzas and past…

Fantastic soy-sauce-based soup Ramen, particularly the noodles being so tasty. Roasted pork that comes with the Ramen is tender and flavorful too. One of the best Ramen in Tokyo. My rating: 5.0 Menya Shichisai Tabelog | 03-5566-9355 | 2-13…

Photos: https://tabelog.com/tokyo/A1302/A130201/13189541/ Sarabeth's from NY came to Tokyo. A good place for a relaxing weekend brunch. A bit pricy overall but people who are a fan of this type of American style brunch dishes would be cont…

Great Indian restaurant located in the Ginza area. Pretty nice and spacious inside, family friendly space. Good curry and other dishes, particularly Biriyani being impressive. My favorite Indian restaurant so far. My rating: 5.0 KhyberWebs…

My favorite Soba restaurant in the Ebisu area. Open till late. Good for a drink too. Pretty small inside so always crowded. May need to wait outside for a while if you go without a reservation. A perfect place to come for a closing soba fo…

Photo above from Tabelog Quality American-style diner type of hamburger restaurant, located far from any station. But their hamburgers and deep fried chicken are really good. It's definitely worth the walk. A perferct lunch place for a sun…

Over 70 years in business, known for their Japanese traditional desserts. Recently got pretty popular for their egg sandwich and it's REALLY good. Worth a visit just for it. It gets crowded especially on weekends and there's often a waitin…

Modern French restaurant by the Meguro river, which turns full of cherry blossoms in early April. Great location for enjoying them. The course dish only. Lunch is available on weekends. Advanced combinations of ingredients, beautifully pre…

I know that the exterior features of this restaurant may give an impression that it could be a so-so quality chain restaurant and that's totally their fault, but actually the taste is unexpectedly good. Particularly the beef curry. I often…

Photo from Tabelog Good option for Yakitori in the Shibuya area. Sort of hidden, a bit hard to find it, coming from the main street. Very tiny restaurant, pretty tight between seats, so expect it. The course dish is good, though it might b…

Photos above from Tabelog Fantastic Udon restaurant, could be placed in TOP 5 in Tokyo! If you like Udon in general, you've got to try this one, though their soup stock has a strong "Niboshi" flavor in it, which you might not be a huge fan…

I'd like to claim that this restaurant is THE BEST French bistro in the Shibuya area by far. Everything is so good and reasonably priced. My satisfaction level here is sky high. Their service is good too. Love it. My rating: 5.0+ (Awesome)…

Seemingly a well-known bakery store from NY. Stuff here is refreshingly sweet and could possibly be way too sweet for many Japanese folks, but at the same time they tend to like ANYTHING that comes from NY so this bakery may get pretty pop…

Japanese style stir-fried noodles. Massive quantity (300-600g) for the same price. You'll absolutely be full for the price. And the taste isn't bad. If you normally eat a lot, try 600g. Close from Shibuya station. Worht a try. My rating: 3…

Hands-down authentic American style pizza. I don't know where else I could have a slice of pizza that'd be as American throughout the country. Pretty cheap for its size. Two slices can easily fill up a Japanese-person's stmach. Far from an…

Looks Italian, right? But it's actually customized-to-Japanese-people stir-fried noodles that definitely taste like Japanese food. Cheap and pretty good. A bit strong in flavors so most customers are men. You can go for the double size (60…

I'd say this curry restaurant is top-notch in the Japanese-style curry domain, excluding Indian-style curry. Though not so famous, the complexity of their curry's favors is pretty impressive. A bit of a walk from Shibuya station but it's d…

They seem quite serious about beef, seeing how they handle a chunk of beef at the special grill in the kitchen. The meat gets meticulously done according to your liking. Quality guaranteed. Nice counter seats and a private room. Can be a g…

Used to be well known as "SumibiyakiShichirin", pretty famous for Yakiniku lovers in this domain. The quality of their beef is surely good but a bit pricy for its quality. You might still not get full by spending 10,000 JPY so should expec…

One of the top Yakitori restaurants I've ever been to, considering its quality for the price! I actually wasn't expecting it to be that qood, so I was totally wrong! Recommend the course menu for the first time and see how you like it. Add…

Sudachi is a sister restaurant of La BOMBANCE in NishiAzabu, serving pretty much the same course menu and it's yet not as crowded. And what's awesome about Sudachi is that they are open for lunch as well. So, try lunch first if you are not…

Popular Katsudon restaurant in the Shibuya area, and it's pretty much Katsudon only to eat. So, come for lunch if interested. A bit of a walk from Shibuya station so you'll nicely be hungy when you get there. More salty/sweeter than averag…

Impressive half-Japanese-half-Indian curry. One of the best curry I've ever had in my life. Could actually eat it every single day without getting tired of it. Can order how spicy you want it to be. The only issue with this restaurant is t…

Not exactly Sushi but called "Kaisendon", which is basically Sashimi bowl as you see above. What's great about their style is that you get to taste two different versions of Kaisendon; just as it is first, and with fish-stock-soup after. B…

150+ years of history with this Udon restaurant. Good lunch option in the Ginza area especially when you are visiting as a group of 3 or more people. Nice space inside and it's crowded on weekends. I'd especially recommend it when you are …

Sophisticated Soy-sauce-based, duck-stock-soup Ramen. The taste is pretty simple but is nicely kicked up with duck stock and grease. And actually their rice (grilled duck meat on top) dishes are more impressive. Should try them with a rame…

Well known high quality Tonkatsu restaurant in the area. LIke it a lot. The only downside is that it literally takes 30-40 minutes to be served after your order gets placed. So you need to be patient inside the restaurant as well as outsid…

Love BBQ Ribs here. THE best ribs dish I've ever had in Japan in terms of being pretty close to authentic American-style smoky BBQ ribs. I'm not a fan of mac & cheese so make no comments about it, but their corn bread is great too. The rib…

Photos: https://tabelog.com/tokyo/A1303/A130302/13133477/ Very competitive quality for the pricing. Even lunch is solid. The chef is a licensed hunter and he literally goes into the mountains and hunt wild animals to serve at this restaura…
