"Tucked away in a tranquil, tree-lined haven, you wouldn't believe this restaurant is near Harajuku Station ✨. The interior exudes a luxurious warmth with its wooden accents and a large, single-slab table. They even have a private room, rumored to be frequented by celebrities incognito 🥰. On this occasion, I indulged in: * Chef's Tasting Menu - ¥1"

"My daughter and I went there together. We arrived around 1 p.m. on a Sunday. We were just a little hungry, so we only ordered a set meal and an orange juice. My toddler daughter enjoyed it too."

"The 8th floor offers a serene and sophisticated ambiance, a world away from the bustling atmosphere of the 1st floor. I enjoyed a leisurely time here, taking in the verdant views of Yoyogi Park and the towering skyscrapers of Shinjuku.

"I revisited this place alone on a Saturday at 12:05 PM, after a long time.

"We made a reservation for 9 people and were able to enter smoothly. The food was all visually appealing and delicious, but I would have liked a bit more spice punch... I added hot sauce, haha. Since we could speak Spanish, our waiter was very cheerful and we had a lot of fun chatting with him! It was a really enjoyable experience. The "chulos c"

"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"
