Hyperlocal Tokyo

I went there on a Saturday evening. It was quite crowded, and just after I ordered, someone got up and I was lucky enough to get a seat. The place isn't very big. There's a smoking booth in the back, separated by glass. The counter seats have power outlets, which is convenient. It was pretty busy, but there weren't many staff. I thought it might be a one-person operation, but a kind woman was very attentive despite being busy. The clearing trays were clean, and I was impressed by how hard-working the staff was. The food and drinks were your typical Veloce fare. The curry could be a bit spicier, though.

The staff were incredibly friendly 😊. I ordered the "Dakgalbi Fried Rice Set." I'm a fan of Veroce and go there often, but I'd never eaten there before. It was pretty good, just as you'd expect. 😄 It's a good option if you want a quick and easy meal. It's not bad, but it's not amazing either, but it's a fair price for what you get. The flavor was a bit strong and spicy. (Maybe I should have gotten the regular curry instead. 😂) The Dakgalbi Fried Rice Set comes with a drink for 880 yen. I got a large drink, so it was an extra 50 yen. The iced coffee was simple and easy to drink, and it was delicious. I went in around 2:30 pm on a weekday, and there were quite a few empty seats.

【Tsukiji】 Located on the way from Shintomichō to the outer market, I stopped by because it was too hot. I also wanted to get a "Fuchi-neko" (a cat figurine) that reminded me of the old "Fuchi-ko" (a popular character). This is my fourth receipt in a month! Finally got it. I wanted a yukata, but it was too late. The shop is narrow and has a lot of smoking seats, which are given priority. It's a bit sad that the old ladies are being guided to the smoking area. However, this area is very laid-back. There's a receipt pod where people can take as many receipts as they want. In Kawasaki, there was a sign that said "Removal of receipts is prohibited."

I heard from a friend that the coffee jelly was delicious, so I decided to visit. The person in front of me ordered soft cream, and I was thinking about getting that too, but I ended up ordering the coffee jelly. When I saw the coffee jelly with soft cream on top, I was so excited! I laughed. The staff were also really friendly, and I had a great time.

Oops, I forgot to post this! Sorry 🙏 -------------------------------------------------- Revisited on 2023/09/15 The perfectly chilled melon soda is the best on a humid day. It comes with soft serve ice cream 🍦 -------------------------------------------------- I had a very unpleasant experience at one of their group stores seven years ago and avoided them ever since. Today, I visited the Tsukiji branch and was pleasantly surprised by the delicious food. I will definitely be returning to the Tsukiji branch.
