"It was a hidden gem tucked away in a mixed-use building. While not spacious, it had a simple yet clean feel. The dim lighting and quiet atmosphere created a sense of calm without being intimidating. The food was meticulously prepared with a focus on details that would be difficult to replicate at home. Delicious! The staff was consistently kin"

"A two-story, narrow shop with a counter that seats about five people on each floor. I called an hour before closing and luckily got a seat. I was dining alone. Reservations are highly recommended. I enjoyed both the food and the atmosphere. Some might find the cramped space a drawback. I had one bottle of beer, two glasses of sake, and about ten sk"

"I finally got to visit this restaurant that had been on my radar, opened by the second-in-command at Kurozaki, a place I'd been wanting to try. It's located about a 7-minute walk from Shibuya Station and a 10-minute walk from Omotesando Station, right where the old Kurozaki used to be. ◆ Flatfish ◆ Golden Eye Snapper ◆ Horse Mackerel ◆ Spring Snap"

"This is a yakitori restaurant with the best food. It's a famous place tucked away in the depths of Shibuya. Each skewer, made with four types of local chicken, is delicious. The fresh chicken liver, especially, was cooked lightly and had a rich flavor, making it the best dish. I was very satisfied with my stomach after eating seasonal summer veg"

"We visited with a group of four a while back. The entrance is very inviting. We were seated at a table, and the staff was attentive to our timing. We ordered several recommended drinks and shared a variety of dishes from the à la carte menu. Everything was served with great care and attention to detail. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. It's ea"

"Located about a 5-minute walk from the Hikarie entrance of Shibuya Station, this is a long-established Korean barbecue restaurant that has been in business for over 50 years since 1971! It has been selected as one of the Tabelog Hundred Famous Restaurants. Many celebrities have visited this restaurant. The menu is basically "おまかせ" (omakase), mean"

"I had the dim sum lunch set (¥3795) and chose the Mapo Tofu. The portion was so large that I was already 80% full before the Mapo Tofu even arrived… But the soup and appetizers were delicious. It would be great if you could add a smaller portion, around ¥3000, to your reservation-only courses, as it would be a shame to waste the food. I arrived "

"Koutarou【Tokyo, Shibuya】 - A Feast of Simplicity and Substance - Revisit (August 2024) Returning after half a year. As always, the dishes that pair perfectly with sake, showcasing the pride of an izakaya. This time's highlights were: - Corn and Clam Chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) - Chicken Nanban with Ginger Tartare Sauce ◆ This Time's Me"

"This restaurant offers authentic Nepali home-style cooking. "Dal" is a lentil soup and "Bhat" is rice, similar to miso soup and rice in Japan. These are served as the base for a one-plate meal with tarkari (spiced vegetable stew), mas (meat curry), achar (pickles), and more. The Nepali style is to mix a little bit of the dal soup, tarkari, curry, e"

"I made a reservation for a weekend evening visit. The restaurant has three floors, and while it was nicely filled, I recommend making a reservation. The bottle prices were reasonable, just a little bit more than what you'd find in a shop. The selection was diverse, and I'd recommend it for a group of people who want to enjoy wine together."

"I've visited this place twice before, and it was so delicious that I forgot to take notes and couldn't write a review on Tabelog. It's one of my all-time favorite yakiniku restaurants! ● What kind of place is it? ･ Their special thick-cut tongue is the best I've had, surpassing any other restaurant! ･ Their carefully selected meats are exceptiona"

"This ramen shop always pops up when you search for "Shibuya Ramen." I went there on a Saturday evening around 7 pm. It seems like they have a second floor. I was lucky to get in right after a group left, so there was almost no wait. I ordered the Moyashi Wonton Men. It was packed with moやし, wonton, egg, and char siu, making it a huge portion! I fli"

"While it seems like their main dish is tsukemen (dipping noodles), their ramen is also quite good. I'll definitely try the tsukemen next time. The soup is rich and a bit on the smaller side, so it's best to mix it well with the noodles. By the way, only ramen (not tsukemen) offers a large portion option. Tsukemen has a special large portion opti"

"This area has a lot of hills, which I'm not a fan of! It was my first time visiting, and I should have noted that they only open for lunch at 12:00 PM. Since they seem to specialize in wonton noodles, I went with the three-wonton noodle set and a mini curry. The ramen itself was pretty standard, nothing particularly special. However, the wontons "

"I've dined here several times. I previously had lunch here during the pandemic and it was so delicious that I decided to revisit for dinner. The foie gras terrine can sometimes have an odd taste at other restaurants, making me regret ordering it. But here, the quality is always high and it's delicious! Everything I've ordered has been delicious"
