Bit tasteless - Edit
Don't mind paying more for good food but this was pretty pricey for a relatively small portion (27k ¥ for the omurice) and honestly wasn't ll that great.
Read moreThey tried to make it healthy I guess, but honestly with stuff like omurice just give me the plain version with vegan egg on top instead of this.
The set menu was a bit better but still quite bland and not worth the cost imo.
Pros: Location
Cons: Taste, Speed

Agree 100% with this. I diddnt find the taste of experience here as good as the many reviews praising this to the skies. It was okay, but not something i would recommend or go back and eat

Fine and simple - Edit
We had the udon noodles, the curry, the “omelette” with rice and matcha cheese cake. The food was good but a little average taste wise, no complaints but also not very special. It surprised us that this meal was our most expensive in Tokyo, not that it was expensive but compared to other places where we got more value for money.

Delicious shojin ryori - Edit
I had the fried kuruma fu set and it was so delicious, very flavourful and crispy. The desserts are also really good both the matcha cheese cake and the chocolate mousse were creamy and not too sweet!

Average shojin ryori - Edit
Solid choice for shojin ryori (temple cuisine) near the Akihabara Electric Town. Food could have been more flavorful and docked star for slow service, but still a good meal.

little hard to find but worth it! - Edit
It’s not quite where it shows on Google Maps, it is under the tracks and inside a small building. Look at street photos shown for accuracy.
Read moreI had the curry and it was incredible. A bit pricey compared to normal restaurants but it was such a deluxe meal, it was worth it. The owner is very kind and the atmosphere is wonderful. They have a special lunch menu that is a bit cheaper than normal but overall quite reasonably priced regardless.
Pros: Quality of food, Taste, Overall meal

Dango Delight - Edit
After a few days of conbini onigiri, it was great to get some real food again in Tokyo. Lovely food and fast service (it was quite empty when we came). A highlight for us was the roast-your-own dango. Probably poisonous fumes from the cute little cooker, but totally worth the experience for melty hot dango.

Wonderful shojin ryori! - Edit
Wonderful assortment of Japanese dishes. High quality food, and fully vegetarian. Hearty meal - often times in Japan found myself eating meals lacking in something or the other, but this meal was complete and delicious.
Read moreStaff was wonderful, and they asked us for feedback before we left! We both appreciated that and were happy to provide it.
Pros: Fully vegetarian menu, Great staff

Poor service the second time around - Edit
I’m really sad that I have to write this review. I never want to share feedback that reflects poorly of a place, but people should make informed decisions. This is why I write reviews.
Read moreI came here once a few months ago and had a fairly good experience, although the price is a bit more mid-tier for what is offered. However today, I came with a larger group of 5 people. No reservations so we waited outside and that is totally okay. When it was our turn, the staff informed us that they are low on rice and it’s fair — they close at 8 and we were making the order around 7. So we went ahead and ordered 3 sets of the rice, 1 set of udon, and 1 order of fries. We received the first three sets and the fries first, but we only got 3 pairs of chopsticks. I asked for one more because we have 5 people in total and she said no sharing. I pushed back just a bit more and said we also ordered the fries. She impatiently put it on our table in a relatively aggressive way.
When we were eating, we also noticed that a customer went up to pay and asked if credit card was possible. However, he made the mistake of holding cash in his hand, so the lady just said no, the machine isn’t working today. Obviously after he left, a few other customers paid with card, no issues whatsoever.
When we went up to pay, she asked us if we can pay cash. We don’t carry cash and knowing that cards are accepted, we let her know that we can only pay by card at this time. She went back inside and then came out, telling us okay, let’s give the machine a try. Magically, the card payment was clearly fine.
I don’t know. I had a fairly good experience first time, but this second time I left with a really upsetting experience. There’s clearly no service and I understand because the place is understaffed. I respect the lady for her work in managing the front by herself and later helping out with the kitchen as well, but clearly, it was a red flag after a red flag.
The price isn’t the fast food kind and it’s clearly not a self service place either. When she gave us a hard time for asking for an additional pair of chopsticks, I felt sad and disappointed.
I hope that others can make an informed decision whether or not to support this kind of business with this kind of service. I know for a fact that I won’t be going there anymore and will look for alternatives.

Tasty and fulfilling Japanese meal - Edit
The restaurant is found at a very unique location, which was directly underneath the metro train tracks. We had the set meal for dinner inclusive of rice, miso soup, and a few side-dishes. We didn't have to wait too long and the food was delicious

Great Japanese food - Edit
I came here and ordered the karage meal set.
Read moreThe set menu doesn’t include dessert on a weekend and is ¥500 more.
I really enjoyed the food here and the variety.
I was very full after and I would come back.
Edit: I came back and tried the other set, it was delicious but the karagee one is still better😄

Great combination - Edit
We ordered the komaki and soymeat set and both look great. Very reasonable price as well. The dongo is fun to cook by your self and tasty. We went there on a Sunday afternoon around 5pm and the wait time was like 10 minutes.
