"It must have been about twenty years since I last came here… I enjoyed a classic hamburger 🍔 in a store where nostalgic music videos from the late 70s to early 90s played. The portion was a bit too much for me, but the patty was juicy and delicious, and before I knew it, I had finished it all. However, the service ★★ was expensive! I wonder if it’s"

"This Italian restaurant in Ueno is fantastic, with excellent service, value for money, atmosphere, and location. This time, we ordered a weekend course with a 3-hour all-you-can-drink option. We were initially informed that there might be a slight delay in service due to a large group of guests, but the drinks and food arrived promptly, with the dr"

"The beer here is truly delicious! It's a quality you won't find anywhere else. The appetizers are all carefully chosen to complement the beer, and I enjoyed them immensely. While the price point isn't the most budget-friendly, the quality of the food and drinks justifies the cost, making it a satisfying experience."

"I was able to visit this soba noodle shop because it was open during a time I don't usually pass by! It's unusual to find a soba shop offering morning sets. This one came with a choice of cold or warm soba noodles and a tamago kake gohan (raw egg over rice) set. The tamago kake gohan was fantastic! Instead of soy sauce, it was topped with tempura s"

"I visited on a weekday afternoon. It was empty, perhaps because it was outside of lunchtime. This is a place to enjoy Kirin beer and snacks. It's fun to order dishes based on what you think will pair well with the beer - rich snacks with a strong beer, simple snacks with a lighter beer. It's hard to order multiple dishes when you're alone, so it's"

"We visited this restaurant for lunch on Sunday after visiting a museum. We didn't make a reservation, but we were able to get a table at 1:30 PM. The short lunch course (appetizer, main course, dessert, and drink) was 2750 yen. You can add a celebratory champagne for an additional 500 yen. The corn cold soup appetizer was truly delicious. The lemon"

"According to my host, it's said that only one out of seven people get to enter this place! The silver salmon is delicious, and it's enough to make you drink two cups of sake! Even if there are empty seats, they'll tell you they're full! It's truly a place where you need luck to get in, so you're lucky if you manage to!"

"Located within Ueno Station, this Spanish bar, BAL, is easily accessible and has a casual, welcoming atmosphere. I arrived around 1:30 PM on a weekday and was able to be seated immediately. The lunch menu is a great deal, as it comes with an appetizer. They also offer affordable glasses of wine and reasonably priced bottles. If you order dessert, y"

"I stopped by this bar while waiting for my camera to get a screen protector at a nearby camera shop. They have Hoppy and Shitamachi Highball. The snacks are a bit small for the price, but they're perfect for a quick drink. I had some skewers here, so I've now been to both of the bars in this area."

"I visited around 6:30 PM on Saturday. The counter was full, but there were plenty of tables available. It wasn't the kind of place to relax at a high table, but the craft beer was delicious. It seems like a good spot for a quick drink."

"I went for a quick soba dinner. They have great value set menus available all day and night, which is nice. Unfortunately, it wasn't quite my taste... The craft beer selection is amazing, I think this might be the only place in Ueno with so many taps! The happy hour set from 5pm to 7pm looks really good (see picture). They also had Niigata's Shin"

"I visited for lunch on Sunday. I arrived around 2:00 PM, but had to wait for 20 minutes. I wondered why the wait was so long, but then I noticed that the menu mentioned a 30-minute wait for the釜飯 (kamameshi), the sukiyaki set also takes time, and the grilled fish takes 20 minutes. It seems like everything takes a while to prepare. If you're not a p"

"While the prices are a bit high, I love the atmosphere and have been here many times. However, the service today was truly disappointing. We were having a conversation that was difficult to hear due to the surrounding noise, and while the staff didn't seem to mind the noise at the table next to us, they inexplicably singled out our table with a war"

"My friend and I stopped by after work. The food was surprisingly delicious. We planned to have a quick drink but ended up staying for almost two hours. My friend ordered a Suntory The Premium Malt's (pint) and a ginger highball, while I had a glass of white wine. Unexpectedly, the wine was so good that I remember ordering two more glasses. Since it"

"## [Long Stay OK◎] French Course in a Stylish Space Inside the Hotel [Ueno] Noga Hotel is located about a 5-minute walk from Ueno Station, accessible by various train lines. "Bistro Noga" is located on the first floor of this hotel. While the area around the station is bustling, the hotel is situated in a quiet backstreet just beyond a major thoro"

"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 stumbled upon this place after being turned away from the first restaurant I tried. I thought it looked like the kind of place Yoshida Riu would visit, and sure enough, he had already been here. It's not the kind of place I'd usually choose if I was dining alone, but it turned out to be quite enjoyable. They have a wide selection of sake. It's"

"We ordered grilled shark fin, yakisoba, tofu salad, tsukune, and more. All the dishes were incredibly clean and meticulously prepared, showcasing the restaurant's dedication. Everything was fantastic, exceeding our expectations, except the tsukune, which was a bit salty. The staff were always smiling and their service was excellent. We arrived ear"

"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"

"The innkeeper's smile and kind words are so comforting. I had the pork cutlet simmered in a savory sauce for lunch, and it was very filling and satisfying. Rice refills are also available. Thank you for the delicious meal."
