"I visited around 3 pm on a weekday. The restaurant had a classic, old-fashioned feel, both in its exterior and interior. Since it wasn't lunchtime, I was seated at the counter without waiting. I ordered the "Sazanami" set with tempura (¥4,510 including tax) and a plum wine soda (¥660). They asked about allergies before taking my order, so I asked"

"I visited around 3 PM on a weekday and it wasn't crowded. I went there because I like craft beer. There are many kinds of craft beer, so I think you'll enjoy it if you like it. I was hungry and wanted to eat, but there wasn't much I wanted to eat (and the portions were small), which was disappointing. There were no chopsticks, and when I asked the "

"Located in the east exit of Shinjuku Station, on the B1F of Lumine Est Shinjuku, this cafe has been recognized as one of the top 100 cafes on Tabelog. It offers both table seating and a standing counter, making it perfect for solo drinkers. There are a few requests from the shop, such as wearing a mask or covering your mouth with a handkerchief w"

"The restaurant is spacious and stylish, with a trendy atmosphere and music. It's open during weekdays for lunch. The main menu features Asian-inspired dishes, including Pad Kra Pao (stir-fried basil with meat) and Khao Man Gai (chicken and rice). Orders are placed through a touch-screen menu. Prices are slightly on the higher side. I ordered the Ka"

"This restaurant is directly connected to Shinjuku Station, just a short walk from the South Exit. It was a bit crowded and I had to wait a little, but I ordered two pizzas and drinks. The pizzas are a size that I think a woman can finish by herself. For a big eater, it might be a bit small, so it's safer to order a side dish. The price is reasonabl"

"This restaurant is a lifesaver for large lunch groups, as you can reserve a table even on weekdays. While it's connected to other shops in the Newman building, sitting in the back feels like you're in a separate establishment, with a calming atmosphere and interior. The restaurant has an American vibe and seems to specialize in burgers and steak"

"It was absolutely amazing from start to finish. I was blown away by how delicious everything was. You absolutely must try the stuffed cabbage rolls. The borscht was also delicious. The staff were all truly wonderful, especially Andrew! He went above and beyond to help us choose our drinks. I will definitely be back again. "

"We had a girls' night out in Shinjuku ✨ We went to a bistro on the B1 floor of Beams, where you can enjoy the traditional flavors of the Kintani Hotel. This time, there were 5 of us for the girls' night out, so we were seated in a private room at the back of the restaurant. We made a reservation for the "2-hour All-You-Can-Drink PARTY Plan" for ¥"

"I made a reservation with four friends about a month ago and visited the restaurant. It seems to be a very popular place, as it was packed in no time. The generosity of having sashimi as an appetizer! And the sashimi appetizer was delicious. The potato salad was just okay, maybe because our expectations were high? But the simmered fish was amazin"

"My wife and I visited at 6:30 PM. We went to the first basement level, which has a chandelier, but it was fully booked with reservations. We were told to go to the second basement level. The bar area on the second basement level was quiet and chic. We were seated at the counter. This floor had about 7 seats at the counter and 10 seats at tables. "

"I had some errands to run in Shinjuku and was looking for a lunch spot around 11:30 am. I was wandering around when I stumbled upon this place! I went down the stairs of the Southern Tower. GINGER GRASS It was incredibly crowded even a little before 12:00 pm on a weekday. I was immediately seated at the counter, but it was full shortly after. I"

"Located just a 3-minute walk from Shinjuku Station, 'Nakizakana' Shinjuku Branch is a restaurant specializing in carefully selected seafood and sake. They offer a variety of fresh fish dishes, depending on what's available that day. I recently visited their 'Hana-re' (annex) location and enjoyed the 'Okamoto Course' for 6,500 yen. The course includ"

"I dined here on a Friday night for a 3-hour course. It was a relaxing experience. The private room was great, and the staff was very attentive, taking orders promptly. The food was creatively prepared and absolutely delicious. I was completely satisfied."

"This wine bar is part of the Margo chain, and while it's more spacious than Margo, the tables at Margo feel more practical. The wine selection is impressive, with about 2 sparkling, 3 white, 3 red, and 3 special wines. They seem to rotate the wines, which is a nice touch. The appetizers are also great, with a wide variety from starters to desserts"

"Wow... it's in Shinjuku... How can you get such incredibly fresh fish here?! I don't need to travel all over Japan anymore! They always present you with the freshest fish of the day, recommending the best way to eat it, whether it's sashimi, grilled, simmered, or tempura. It's always delicious! This place really teaches you about the love of fi"

"We used this restaurant for a company dinner. The interior has a magical atmosphere with numerous tanks filled with fish. The food and drinks were delicious, especially the prosciutto, porcini mushroom risotto, and the ajo blanco. The price might be a bit high."

"Shinjuku Drinking: A Review of a Long-Time Favorite This restaurant was a regular spot for me about 10 years ago. I hadn't been able to visit for a while due to the pandemic, but recently a friend expressed interest in trying it out, so I made a reservation for the course. We opted for the "Takumi" all-you-can-drink plan (2.5 hours) for 5,800 ye"

"A hidden gem tucked away in the back alleys of Shinjuku West Exit. You can enjoy curries with varying levels of spiciness and cheese kulcha (a type of flatbread made with naan dough). The restaurant is a 5-minute walk from Shinjuku Station. It's located on the 3rd floor, up the stairs after passing through a shuttered entrance. The interior is larg"

"❤︎ : Hiroki Club : Shinjuku Nishiguchi, Tokyo : Tabelog 3.55 : ¥5,000 - I've been wanting to go to this place for a long time and had it saved! I tried calling to make a reservation several times, but it was always fully booked... It was a dream come true! I went on a Sunday at 6:00 PM, but it was still full, so reservations are a must at this p"
