I ordered the C set with an omelet for ¥1200, as I heard it was famous. It was a bit pricey for me, but I don't come to this area often and I was looking forward to the taste of this long-established restaurant. First, the soup. It was a classic Western-style corn soup, delicious, but the portion was a bit small. When I entered, I saw other customers' tables and thought, 'Hmm, is it a one-plate meal with a small portion?' So I was a bit contemplative, thinking, 'Well, I guess this is how it is.' Then, my one-plate meal arrived. The salad was shredded cabbage and daikon sprouts with French dressing, a slightly small hamburger, and a fried croquette that seemed to be whispering, 'I'm a fried croquette!' It had a very low presence. And then, the main dish, the omelet. Did they make a mistake? Did they skimp on the amount of egg? You could clearly see the rice. Hmm, they're serving this? I was contemplative again. I took a bite. Hmm, it wasn't bad. It was just below delicious. No, if it had been ¥850, I would have rated it 4 stars, but for ¥1200, the portion was small, and the omelet felt like a mistake, or rather, they definitely reduced the amount of egg. Well, when you become this famous, you get a constant stream of customers, so maybe they don't lower the quality of the taste, but they lower the quantity. Or maybe they're shifting the cost burden to the regular lunch menu to maintain the ¥500 omelet. Incidentally, a person who looked like a regular customer ordered the ¥500 omelet and a ¥300 coffee, for a total of ¥800. If you're brave, you could order the ¥500 omelet and leave, but even the ¥500 omelet had a small amount of egg. No, it wasn't like, 'Wow, this is a truly long-established omelet.' Because the egg was like a thin omelet. I'm being deliberately critical, hoping for improvement in the future. Hmm, maybe this is just the price in Chuo-ku? I was contemplative again as I headed home.

I stumbled upon this hidden gem of a restaurant. It has a luxurious feel. They offer a one-plate meal with omelet rice, croquettes, hamburger, and salad. If I could be greedy, I'd love to see coffee included in the set. Today (February 6th) I had something different than usual. For lunch on April 2nd (Thursday), it came with a leek soup!

**Hachi no Ko:** A Classic Western Restaurant in Tsukiji/Shintomicho Established in 1948, Hachi no Ko is a beloved, long-standing Western restaurant in Tsukiji. Their C Lunch set for ¥1,100 is a steal. It includes an omelet, braised hamburger steak, the day's special fried dish, salad, and soup. This charming restaurant offers both authentic French cuisine and casual Western dishes. The Western food is delicious, and the value for money is exceptional! I think it's the best Western restaurant in this area. #HachiNoKo #French #WesternRestaurant #Bistro #Omelet #Ginza #Tsukiji #Shintomicho #TsukijiLunch #ShintomichoLunch #TsukijiGourmet #ShintomichoGourmet #TsukijiDate #ShintomichoDate #Lunch #Wine #WineBar #Bar #Meat #HamburgerSteak #ShrimpFry #Napolitan #TokyoTourism #TokyoGourmet #ginza #tsukiji #shintomicho #lunch #tokyo

This restaurant is popular among industry professionals in the area and serves authentic, old-fashioned Western cuisine.

This French restaurant was established in 1948. It is said to have been a branch of the "Hachi-ryu" (meaning "Bee Dragon") restaurant (which I believe no longer exists) and was renamed "Hachi-ko" (meaning "Bee Child"). I had lunch there. • Set A (Stewed hamburger, shrimp fry, croquette, Napolitan, potato salad, cabbage, rice, soup) The hamburger was soft and reminiscent of old-fashioned ones. The sauce was creamy, unlike the typical demi-glace sauce. It was amazing to get such a large set for ¥1,000. The rice was a bit soft. Although it claims to be French cuisine, I think it's more like a Japanese-style Western restaurant. Dinner also looks good.
