To be honest, I paid 750 yen for a s'more and still threw away half of it. DKA is reasonable, but also violently sweet. Ah, America, I do not miss thee desserts.
You're here for the signature black ramen. You'll see flames periodically shoot up in the kitchen as they flambé the soup before serving. Be careful, the noodle and soup are REALLY HOT temperature.
The line goes by fairly quickly and their lobster rolls are definitely worth the wait! The portions are what you would expect in Japan, but the U.S. size is pretty filling.
The French toast really is something special. The dinner set is a good value at 880 yen including soup or salad, coffee or tea (hot or cold) and French toast with whipped cream.
Omurice! It's a hefty portion, I would recommend not getting a big beer to accompany. Super yummy!
Great tonkatsu restaurant with an amazing service and the waitress was speaking an perfect English. She gave us really good advices and was always there if we needed something.
Black truffle ramen at the world's only Michelin star ramen shop. Come get a ticket in the morning (7-8am) for lunchtime seating.
Stopped for a quick lunch. Had the 'natto soba' which is perfect for summer. Their soba is really good! Read more.
Foreigners beware: dinner will cost u around $95us per person before alcohol....its good, but ain't that good
Oh my. The famous and majorly fantastic oyakudon (850yen) and chicken nanban (780 yen)! So bloody delicious! Free roasted green tea! So delicious! Came at 1230pm and the restaurant was almost full!
Amazing "rare" cheese tarts -- think gooey under-baked cheesecake filled in the best sugar cookie crust. Lines can be long but are worth it. Perfect tea-time snack in Akihabara.
Great halal ramen. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Highly recommended.
Authentic tempura! The place is very clean and tidy in a traditional japanese setting. The tempura batter was crispy yet not greasy at all!
Order a nitro cold brew and a pastry, and plop yourself down at the window for some fantastic people watching. One of the only two "third wave" coffee shops near the Shinjuku station.
Another great Foursquare recommendation. The queue out the front says it all. Efficient, vibrant, custom-made Neapolitan pizzas constructed in front of you and cooked in a couple of mins. Great place.
Absolutely loving this. Nice crunch outer and silky smooth chilled custard. To be eaten immediately for best taste!
Heavenly tonkotsu ramen served here!! Rich and flavorful soup base, tender slice of braised pork belly, soft boiled egg with little runny and gooey soft egg yolk plus perfect ramen texture!
First glance: looks like an imitation of the random american coffee place - but there is so much love for coffee in this place - world class, you'll have a hard time finding better espresso in Tokyo.
One of the most famous and popular restaurant for Yummy and unpretentious gyozas. Opens at 11.30am but there's a line forming outside as early as 11.15am. My favorite is the fried gyozas with garlic.
They offer 7 kinds of matcha gelato here! The premium (7) one is a bit too bitter I would recommend 3 or 4. The wakocha (Japanese black tea), sencha and hojicha are also good! Tea gelato paradise😍
Fresh handmade cold (Zaru) soba noodles (also udon and hiyamugi available). Go for the seasonal tempura, tofu skin or hot curry! English menu available, good service. Simple and very well done. Yummy
A small place in the basement which serves crispy and juicy tonkatsu. The tonkatsu sauce is delicious and there is also non oil dressing sauce. The place gets crowded easily and is open till 21:00.
Update February 2016: Great respite and warmth from a good cuppa in the winter. Weekday afternoons are so peaceful to linger after day-tripping in Omote-sando/Aoyama. Still prefer this to Blue Bottle.
The sweetest staff, my son dropped his triple ice cream and they ran out with two replacement ice creams. So kind.
Their claim to fame is that along with chicken and pork, they add giant clam to their stock, which gives both the shio and shoyu ramen an awesome aromatic, lingering shellfish flavor. Read more.
So good and different from any other bowl. Order from machine, then they'll ask about spice. Medium for both spicy (chili) & numbness(Sichuan) is good if you like spicy but aren't a masochist about it
Tomoharu Shono, who is an eatery owner and introduces himself as hyper ramen creator, is famous ramen chef in Tokyo. His speciality is tsukemen (dipping ramen). I highly recommend to salmon tsukemen. Read more.
Hold in the wall restaurant run by 2 old guys. Come here for tasty and cheap home cooked meals. The beef bowl was delicious and cost only 350 yen.
