"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"

"My favorite yakitori place in Shibuya! ✨ I've been here countless times, but it's become so popular in recent years that it's almost impossible to get in without waiting in line. It's a real bummer. 😔 But I crave their yakitori so often that I braved the heat and waited in line again! 🔥 The large skewers are incredibly satisfying. ✨ The grilling"

"This popular restaurant has a retro Showa era vibe and was quite busy with foreign tourists. I tried their popular set meal, which includes a pork cutlet, ham cutlet, and croquette for 850 yen, and it was absolutely delicious! My friend shared a bite of their menchi katsu with me, and while it was good, the texture of the onion was quite strong, so"

"【Weekend Lunch】 I've been to this restaurant a few times. The food is still excellent, but... the manager's attitude was disappointing. He didn't make eye contact with any of the customers waiting and rudely informed them about the wait. What bothered me most was when I asked for a receipt, he tossed it at me. Perhaps they've shifted their focus"

"My stomach was rumbling, so I checked Google Maps for nearby places and decided to come here! It was pretty lively even late at night. The food was delicious! They have a wide variety of vegan options, which explains why there are so many foreign tourists during the day. I definitely plan to drop by again late at night! This place is perfect for mi"

"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 Chinese restaurant in Shibuya has been my go-to spot ever since I started working here. For lunch, I ordered my usual, the fried rice. It's cooked with lard, resulting in a moist yet slightly fluffy texture. The flavor is classic, with just the right amount of saltiness, umami, and sauce. It's a simple dish with fluffy eggs, char siu pork, and"

"Location: 7-minute walk from Shibuya Station I usually go to the Dogenzaka area, but this was my first time visiting "Choraku" near the police box. I ordered: • Pork Ginger Rice (¥980) • Gyoza (¥270) The pork ginger was topped with a generous amount of mayonnaise. I ate the cabbage, onion, pork ginger, and mayonnaise together with rice, and it w"

"I've been trying to visit this place for a while now, but it was always packed or closed for preparation. Finally, I was able to get in today!! I ordered the Helena Bonham Burger (with avocado), a small bun, iced coffee, and mashed potatoes. 🍔🥤🥑 Even with the smaller bun, it was still quite a lot of food! The bun, meat, and vegetables all had a"

"I was excited to try this restaurant, known for its authentic paella, a popular dish in Spain. Located on the third floor of Stream, it boasts a beautiful, open space with large windows and high ceilings. Lunch on weekends is only available as a set course, which includes tapas, salad, fried potatoes, paella, cheesecake, and a drink. It was a bit "

"I had the lamb dish, and it was absolutely delicious. I was completely satisfied. The salad was also generous in size, colorful, and a feast for the eyes. They serve appetizers that make you want to order wine, even at lunchtime, so be careful not to give in to temptation. Overall, it was a very satisfying meal! I remember there used to be a salad "

"A hidden gem tucked away in a secluded spot. The food was decent, but the prices were on the higher side. The staff seemed well-trained, but they were a bit too eager to take our order before we had a chance to look at the menu. I would have appreciated a little more time to browse. I ordered the clam risotto, but it came with mussels instead, and "

"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 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"
