"A delicious Thai restaurant 😊 I ordered Som Tum Pu Pla, Pad Thai, coconut juice, and coconut ice cream. * Som Tum Pu Pla This is a papaya salad with fish sauce and crab. It has a unique flavor, but it's delicious. Be careful, it's quite spicy ⚠️ * Pad Thai The chewy noodles with a sweet sauce were delicious! The nuts and crunchy vegetables were s"

"A Retro Coffee Shop in Kinshicho: "Tommy" This retro shop has a perfect old-school vibe. The wall-mounted menu also had a great Showa era feel. The hotcakes were pretty standard, but the coffee shop had a comforting and gentle atmosphere that calmed my soul."

"This is a South Indian curry specialty store located a short walk from the north exit of Kinshicho Station. The menu is extensive, offering not only curry but also side dishes and rice dishes. The flavors are spicy, but you can adjust the level of spiciness to some extent, so even those who don't like spicy food can enjoy it. I felt that it had a s"

"I ordered the original blend using the press method. It's great that they offer both drip and press options. They also have a ¥200 discount on refills, so it might be fun to try different drinks. I visited on a weekday evening and the cafe was quiet with five solo customers."

"I ordered a whole cake 🎂. It was absolutely adorable. Since my friend was going to be a while, I also used the cafe. The King's Scone was delicious and the atmosphere of the shop was great. The stairs to the second floor were steep and I was wearing heels, so it was difficult to go down. Looking at Instagram, I saw that the cafe often closes early,"

"Visited on September 11, 2024. This is a classic, old-fashioned Japanese coffee shop. It's very much a 'Showa era' experience, both good and bad. Reviews are mixed, and it's not for those seeking modern flavors. It's definitely a blast from the past! The Napolitan is a classic, with a strong tomato ketchup flavor. It comes with onions, green pepper"

"After having dinner in Kinshicho, I went shopping and got a little tired, so I stopped by for a break. When I entered the store, I was overwhelmed by the smell of curry and ended up having a second lunch. I ordered the curry rice lunch set with iced coffee. I was satisfied with the comfortable atmosphere of the store."

"Located just a short walk from Kinshicho Station, the shop is on the second floor of the Ark Hills Kinshicho. They offer high-quality coffee sourced from around the world, along with original cakes and light meals. The interior is incredibly spacious, with plenty of tables and a relaxed atmosphere. The luxurious ambiance is very calming. They have "

"It's about a 5-minute walk from Kinshicho Station. It's relatively spacious with plenty of seats. It's also nice that it's open early in the morning. I ordered the S-size gelato daifuku mochi for 580 yen (tax included). It was matcha gelato with a mochi shell. I was told to wait at a table, but I asked if I could watch them make it. (You can see "

"It was quite popular during lunchtime, and there was about a 10-minute wait. The coffee was high quality, and I wanted to have several cups, but since refills weren't available, I had to order a new one each time, which was a bit disappointing. The katsu sandwich was very filling and delicious. I definitely want to come back for more!"

"I went to this place because I was craving pancakes. I was also hungry, so I ordered a curry rice set (¥1150, bad value) and a single pancake (¥650) at the register on the first floor. Since the first floor was full, I sat at an empty table on the second floor. Water and towels are self-service. The food and drinks arrived in about 10 minutes. T"

"We visited with my daughter around 12:30 pm on Sunday. About 80% of the seats were filled, and it quickly became full. There are reservation plates available at the entrance, so you can secure a seat before joining the order line. If you don't reserve a seat, you might not be able to find one. We ordered a set with one main dish and two side dishes"

"Crystal Movement is a lobby lounge located in the TOBU Hotel Levant Tokyo in Sumida Ward, known for its special summer-only shaved ice. The shaved ice uses natural ice from the famous Nikko ice shop "Fourth Generation Ice Shop Tokujirou," earning high praise from food connoisseurs and dessert lovers. This natural ice is made slowly over time using "

"The cake was not overly sweet and had a refreshing taste. I could easily eat two slices of their shortcake. I would recommend this cake shop. However, the price is a bit high, so I deducted one star. Update: I ordered a whole strawberry cake for a birthday, but it lacked richness and wasn't very tasty."

"I visited for brunch. There were quite a few empty seats around 10 am. There's a smoking room on the second floor. You can order at the counter with a friend or use one of the two self-service kiosks. The self-service kiosks don't accept cash. I had the Quadruple Cheeseburger, it was delicious. There are power outlets at the counter seats on the s"

"We visited around 2 PM on Obon (a traditional Buddhist festival) and the place was packed. There were even people waiting standing up. It's usually crowded even on weekdays, so it's recommended to secure a table before ordering."

"I arrived at 8:20 PM. They confirmed if it was okay since last orders were at 8:30 PM, but they were very thorough. I felt a little bad for coming in so late, but I ordered pasta and pudding. It wasn't crowded, so they served us quickly, and I was able to enjoy a brief, relaxing time. I was happy to get a decent meal at a reasonable price."

"Taste: ★★★★★ Ambiance: ★★★★★ Service: ★★★★ Value: ★★★★ I recently visited Hoshi no Coffee in Kinshicho, which is located right in front of Kinshicho Station. It was my first time there. As soon as I stepped inside, I was struck by the calm atmosphere and classic interior design. It felt like a very relaxing space. The seating arrangement was spac"

"The shops near Kinshicho Station might not have ample seating for dine-in, but they are always welcoming. You can usually find a spot at a shared table, counter, or sofa (for one or two people). It's a lovely place. The breakfast set seems simpler than before, but the three slices of bread served with a rich soup are truly moving.🥹 Even though they"

"I often go to Kinshicho, but this was a new discovery for me. I was surprised to find a cafe right next to the station! It's just a 10-second walk from the south exit, literally. The entrance had a classic vibe, so I thought the interior might be a bit old-fashioned, but I was surprised to find a trendy, Instagram-worthy space. I went there ar"

"I had been curious about this place for a while, but with the price of eggs going up, I haven't been making much omurice at home, so I decided to give it a try. The omurice was exactly as described on the menu. It was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. The price was also reasonable, considering it's located in a station building! The cre"

"I'm a big fan of acai bowls and fruit smoothies and I'm always on the lookout for new places to try. This one is amazing! It's naturally sweet without any added sugar and they have a ton of healthy toppings like kinako (roasted soybean flour), sesame seeds, and charcoal. If you want something a little sweeter, you can also choose chocolate sauce. I"

"For an extra 150 yen, you can get a morning set that includes two slices of bread, an egg, and yogurt. It's a steal! There are many great deals to be found in Kinshicho in the morning."

"A bakery owned by Yamazaki, a major company, located in a prime spot in the Kinshicho district. Its strong financial backing allows it to offer affordable prices and a cafe. It's a great place for a quick lunch, a summer oasis for coffee, and a must-visit for bread lovers."

"Recent #Currystagram 🍛✨ I've been hitting up #CurryShops with a punch lately, but this time I was happy to find a stable, crowd-pleasing curry. ♥️ Sometimes, the safe choice is the best 😊 I proudly told my friend about how delicious and cheap it was, only to be embarrassed when they said it was a chain restaurant 😹 The 2-color curry set is ¥935, p"

"I had lunch here. You can get omelets, pasta, and set meals for around ¥1,300. The food is delicious. Judging from the atmosphere, the clientele seems to be mostly women. I was a little disappointed by the way customers were encouraged to leave after finishing their meals and the staff's attitude towards groups paying individually. It's a shame, be"

"## May 2024 Visit This is just a note for myself. I wish I had read the reviews before visiting. I saw this place while walking by and thought it was an old-fashioned coffee shop, so I went in. The atmosphere was definitely old-school. As is common in old-fashioned coffee shops, smoking is allowed. This place was also smoking-allowed, so for a no"
