Cool, chill hipster grounds. Something for everyone I think; greasy food, healthy vegetarian, curries, fish, seafood.
This is the owl cafe of your dreams! All the owls you can pet for the low low price of ¥1500! (a bit tricky to find, follow the map) ps: Don't pet their bellys or they bite!
In our 8 days in Tokyo, we tried 9 diff ramens & THIS ONE was our favorite. (I wish we went back!) It's a short walk north of Shinjuku Station. Look for the 4-5 steps you gotta climb to get in.
Non-descript ramen spot tucked around a corner but one of the best of the 9 ramens we had in Tokyo (and a top choice in Shinjuku for sure)
This was rec'd to me as Best Ramen in Tokyo & it didn't disappoint. You order with 2 variables -- spicyness (I went 2 of 4) and numbing (I went 3 of 4). Numbing is amazing (& I'd rec'd going 4 of 4)
One of the Golden Gai spots we really enjoyed -- bartender was super drunk, customers were super drunk, stairs were super steep, hilarity ensued.
If you're looking for high class tempura, this is where you find it. Make sure to try the oysters. And don't snooze on the fruits they'll bring for dessert (the strawberries are incredible).
