"I saw a burger with cheese inside on social media and made a reservation to visit. It was a weekday night, but the place was packed. People who didn't have reservations were taking their orders to go. The aroma was so good that I was excited even before I got to the restaurant. Finally, I got to try the cheese-in-burger! The staff was very accom"

"We dined on the dinner course! Neither my spouse nor I are big drinkers, so we didn't opt for the wine pairing, but I highly recommend it for those who enjoy wine. Every dish in the seasonal course was memorable and, of course, incredibly delicious. The portions are quite generous, and they're very attentive about offering additional bread. We w"

"A long-established restaurant with consistently delicious food! The hot pot and seafood salad are very popular, and the yakiniku is of course delicious. It's good to have yakiniku before the hot pot. The interior and exterior haven't changed since it opened, and it feels like a retro yakiniku restaurant that's taken you back in time to the Showa er"

"This is a local Chinese restaurant with a down-to-earth vibe. Everything is delicious, but each dish has a unique twist. For example, the Sichuan dishes are quite spicy, and the overall flavors are bold. The prices are very affordable, making it a great value for money. It's even been featured on TV and has become quite popular. However, the rice i"

"I visited around 7:30 PM on a weekday. As the name suggests, the restaurant offers a wide variety of lotus root dishes. They are healthy yet satisfying. The lotus root cutlets were particularly delicious, with a crispy exterior and juicy interior. The restaurant has a calm atmosphere, making it a comfortable and ideal spot for a relaxing evening w"

"This is a Korean barbecue restaurant located in a small Korean town in Higashi-Ueno. There are about 10 Korean barbecue restaurants in the area, so when you exit Ueno Station's Exit 3, you'll be greeted by the aroma of grilled meat. I've tried several restaurants in this Korean town, but I think this one has the best flavor. The restaurant isn't "

"I visited on a Saturday when they opened, and there were a few people waiting. After they opened, there were frequent customers, including Indians, and by the time I finished eating, there were about 20 people. I ordered the biryani.

"I visited this restaurant after seeing it featured on Instagram and reading its positive reviews on Google Maps. I arrived with a friend on a Saturday around 9 PM. The restaurant was almost full, likely due to the Sumida River Fireworks Festival, but we were able to get a table without waiting. The interior was clean and had a mix of young and mid"

"Japanese Evolved Miso Ramen This is a super popular shop. First, the taste is almost perfect. The pricing is also just right. I agree. And, it's not pretentious. You can feel the concept of wanting people to eat a truly delicious ramen until they're full. There are no unnecessary, unwanted quirks, just a good quality shop. The interior is just a "

"Today's spot: Rokurinsha Ueno Branch. Whenever I'm in Tokyo on business, I make it a point to visit at least one restaurant for lunch and dinner during my stay. This time, I got off at Ueno and was feeling a little peckish. I spotted a ramen shop specializing in tsukemen (dipping noodles) that looked delicious. My greedy nature got the better of m"

"We used this restaurant for our company's social gathering. It was an all-you-can-drink course, and as the name suggests, the seafood served was all excellent (there were many other dishes besides those in the photo). We also ordered a few items a la carte, and the quality was high for the price. The all-you-can-drink sake menu was also extensive, "

"I visited on a weekday afternoon. I happened to see a ramen shop with a line while on my way back from eating udon. I noticed they were using Kaika-ro noodles, which piqued my interest, so I looked it up and found out it was a popular place. I joined the line, which had about six people. I bought a ticket beforehand and ordered the limited-edition "

"The food was pretty average, neither good nor bad. But for ¥1,550 (as of October 2024), it's a great deal to enjoy a chicken biryani and curry set with a choice of curry, accompanied by achar, fresh vegetables (with a touch of cilantro), cumin and cilantro raita (delicious), mango pudding, and a cumin seed lassi (also delicious) while listening to "
