"We visited this restaurant after choosing their pair set from a catalog gift. We arrived at noon on a weekday, but there were already about 10 groups waiting in line, and we waited for about 40 minutes. There were also many foreign tourists in line. We went with our child, and they were able to provide a child's chair. However, they didn't seem to "

"We went there on a Saturday afternoon and had to wait about 30 minutes. There were plenty of seats and the atmosphere was really nice. The food ranged from ¥1,500 to ¥2,000 per dish, which I think is a bit pricey even for Omotesando, but it was delicious. The ricotta pancakes were amazing (I forgot to take a picture)."

"The pancakes were incredibly fluffy and delicious. The staff at the cafe were all very kind and friendly. It's a great cafe with delicious pancakes and a lovely atmosphere. It's a popular spot, so you'll likely have to wait in line, but it's definitely worth it!"

"I heard that the best burger in the world, which Hawaii boasts, is available in Japan, so I went to Omotesando. Hawaii's BEST Burger Award 22 years in a row, record-breaking store 【Teddy's Bigger Burgers Omotesando】 1 minute walk from Meiji Jingumae Station Exit 7 The stylish interior is spacious and has a Hawaiian atmosphere with Hawaiian vid"

"This is a long-established pizzeria in Milan, Italy, with over 60 years of history. It's the only place in Japan where you can enjoy their pizzas, with their first overseas branch being in Tokyo's Harajuku district. It seems they have a passionate following among Japanese tourists and residents visiting Milan. The pizzas are notable for their impr"

"A must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth! The cookies are soft and melt-in-your-mouth. The chocolate s'mores shake is delicious and visually stunning. It's a bit much for one person, so it's perfect for two. The shop itself is incredibly cute."

"Laforet Harajuku, located on the second floor, is a lively spot with a good mix of locals and foreign tourists. The tacos and burritos offer a variety of spice levels and fillings. While I was disappointed to see the fish option disappear, they now offer a vegetable choice. The portions are generous, so I opted for the light size. The light size bu"

"The caramel cheesecake (¥730) was absolutely delicious! It was huge! The caramel sauce and fresh whipped cream (animal-based) were a perfect combination. The two-layered cheese was a steal for the price! The beef sandwich even had walnuts on top, making it incredibly tasty. I'm definitely going to try other menu items next time. As expected from a "

"This cafe is located between Harajuku and Sendagaya. It has a terrace seating area, which is pleasant on sunny days. They have a wide variety of pies, but also offer salads. The dressing with nuts (I apologize, I forgot the name) is quite garlicky, so it's delicious but be mindful if you have plans afterwards. They also have a wide selection of dri"

"Located just a 30-second walk from Exit 7 of Meiji Jingumae Station. This restaurant offers a menu with a focus on high-quality ingredients. They have both cafe and dining options, which is very helpful. The white liver pate is absolutely delicious. They also offer steak and other meat dishes, as well as sandwiches and pasta. The interior has a sli"

"Reservations are highly recommended as this is a popular spot. Lunch dishes range from around ¥1600 to ¥2500, and with drinks, expect to spend around ¥3000. The price reflects the location. The ¥2000 beef cheeseburger and fries set was a bit smaller than a McDonald's burger, but delicious. The fries were of a similar quality to those found at famil"

"I've been a regular here for a while because I love the food. This time, the restaurant was doing a collaboration cafe, so it was very crowded. The collaboration seats were packed, and I had to wait for the first time. But it was delicious, so I waited and ate, but there were still a lot of waiting times. I had asked for the set tea to be served af"

"On this day, there was an event at Yoyogi National Gymnasium, so I stopped by here for lunch during my break. The exterior was very nice, and it looked like a stylish place, so I decided to go in. It's my belief that if a place has good style on the outside, it will also have good taste and delicious food. The interior has terrace seating and tab"

"Located in a bustling area facing Omotesando, you'll find yourself climbing a steep staircase and lining up in separate queues for eat-in and takeout. While tempting and expensive parfaits are on display, my recommendation is the fruit sandwich. It's available for takeout, and there's also a lunch menu where you can choose a main dish and a sandwic"

"June 2024 (Saturday, arrived at 2:45 PM, no wait) Mille-feuille Set ¥940 Apple Cream Puff Set ¥880 This cafe is located just off Takeshita Street, which is usually packed with people. It's a great place to take a break from the hustle and bustle. I was expecting a long wait during the weekend tea time, but there was no line at all, and there we"

"September 2024, Dinner Visit Generally, this restaurant is one of the few that are open near Harajuku Station, so I've been there a few times. However, the food takes a really long time to come out! I always wonder what they're doing because it takes so long. It's fine if you're chatting, but I wouldn't recommend going if you're in a hurry. I "

"The main dish prices are around ¥1,500 for pasta, and salad, soup, and drinks (green tea, oolong tea, coffee) are all refillable. The pasta is delicious, needless to say, and the salad changes daily, but the avocado potato salad, steamed chicken with bean sprouts (lemon-flavored, namul-style) were particularly tasty. Overall, it's great value for "

"Cafe STUDIO in Harajuku is a simple and stylish cafe known for its delicious pancakes and burgers. This time, I ordered the Classic Cheeseburger and Green Apple Soda. The buns are sourced from a long-established bakery in Tokyo, and the 160g patty is hand-made in-house. The burger is packed with flavor, featuring a brown onion sauce, tomatoes, lett"
