"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"

"The food at Li Xiang, a Taiwanese restaurant, was an authentic experience. All the dishes served were true to their origins, and I was particularly impressed by their freshness. The vegetables were crisp and vibrant, a feast for the eyes. The flavors were adjusted to suit Japanese palates, making them easy to eat while still retaining their depth. "

"I visited Mongotanmen Nakamoto for the first time and had a very enjoyable and delicious experience. Since there isn't a Nakamoto in my area, the only "North Pole" I've had was the 7-Eleven version. But the North Pole at the restaurant was surprisingly easy to eat. It's a bit spicier than the 7-Eleven version, but not much. It's a place that's easy"

"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 lunch spot on Meiji-dori near Shibuya Stream always has a line, mainly with middle-aged men. Their specialties are dan dan noodles and sets with noodles and rice (a very affordable ¥1,000). I'd been wanting to try it for a while, so I went during off-peak hours to avoid the crowds. Today, I wasn't in the mood for a big meal, so even though it "

"◉Menya Musashi, Shibuya◉ Noodles up to 1kg are the same price. This is a huge impact and there's nothing to complain about, right? It's an amazing effort by the company. Thankful. The menu I ordered this time was... Rich White Tsukemen with 4 servings, 500g? 1050 yen ※I always forget the gram amount - 300g isn't enough. 600g should be okay, rig"

"Was it 7 years ago when I last visited? Even then, there was a line, and I remember waiting about 30 minutes before opening. This time, I visited around 1:30 pm. To my surprise, there was no one in front of the store, and when I peeked inside, there were empty seats! What a lucky break! I was able to get in without waiting. The char siu was sold o"

"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"

"The predecessor, "Gaithon TOKYO", opened in July 2014. Since then, the name has changed to "Khao Man Gai" and now "Shibuya Khao Man Gai", but for 10 years, it has been a specialty store serving Thai chicken rice, "Khao Man Gai", and the taste remains unchanged. "Khao Man Gai" is enjoyed with chicken, the broth used to boil the chicken, Thai rice "

"I frequented Shibuya Hyakkendana around 1990. Back then, I often visited Chinese noodle restaurant Kiraku, Taiwanese restaurant Reikyo, and Indian restaurant Murughee. This time, I'm reviewing Murughee's curry. Stepping inside, I was greeted by a retro interior that felt like time had stood still. Of course, I ordered the Murughee curry with egg, s"

"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 "

"The ramen had a unique flavor with a strong bonito (katsuobushi) taste. While the price was on the higher side, the delicious taste and generous toppings made it satisfying. I believe the richness of the oil contributed to this unique flavor, but it felt a bit heavy towards the end. They offer a variety of ramen options, including bonito soy sauce,"

"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 "

"This cafe is incredibly popular with foreign visitors. The reason? From the window seats, you have a commanding view of the Scramble Crossing. Coupled with the name recognition of L'Occitane, this place is always packed. I was torn between a parfait and a creme brulee, but since it was after a meal, I opted for the latter. I also had a hot cup of t"

"My favorite boulangerie! The shop is bright and filled with delicious-looking bread. While the stollen is only sold during the Christmas season, they offer seasonal breads year-round, so you can enjoy them anytime! It's also a great choice for a small gift. 🎁 There is no eat-in space."
