I found Unasho completely by accident when showing a friend around Yodobashi camera Akiba. He had told me that one of the only things he was interested in trying while he was in Japan was unagi. Seein...
I lovingly call this building the cow building, given the huge cow head on the top, which can be seen from afar. I have lived nearby for 4 months, and finally tried one of the upper floor restaurants....
I had a bad experience for lunch at this place. I ordered a double cheese burger and clam chowder. The clam chowder was bland and tasteless. My American friend said it looked very watery. So I told th...
The citrus fruit is actually sudachi, not yuzu.
Vintaro is right however, there is always a line. I find it best to go a little after 1, the wait will be around 30min or so during the week.
Th...
I came here for lunch on the way to do some book shopping in Jimbocho on a very hot July day. Filled with businessmen grabbing lunch, my friend and I were seated immediately and waited about 10 minute...
This is a great place to go when you're in the mood for curry. I got the half portion of the beef curry, and it was delicious and satisfying. It was actually almost too big for me to finish! Another t...
Great prices and nice combinations of sushi. I had one which included okra, and another with natto on the top. The natto added a nice nutty flavor to the fish. A third piece, was the traditional slice...
This place was okay. I had been to Kiji the week before, so compared to that, it's only average okonomiyaki. However, it is a nice change from Tokyo okonomiyaki and gives you a feeling of what okonomi...
I enjoyed a late lunch/ early dinner here after spending the day at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. It was a fitting meal after a day filled with Japanese culture and history.
This shop is over a hundred ye...
Absolutely fantastic traditional coffee shop in Jimbocho. They play excellent jazz on a top notch sound system, and serve fantastic coffe and homemade sweets. The owner is very nice and many of the st...
after a long day of exploring the terrifying-wonder that is Akihabara, this place was an oasis. the modanyaki is awesome, they cook it at your table, it's huge, and delicious! The staff are super frie...
This back street restaurant is all business but has a great concept. When I got there, there was a line outside the store but it moved quickly. Once I got inside, I had to wait a few more minutes on t...

Love this place! The udon and tempura are very good and cheap. you pick up your own tempura on your way to order the udon bowl... only bad thing is sometimes the tempura isn't hot. very very crowded a...
Although it is a bit hard to find, (on the second floor through a book store) Bondy is worth the hassle. The curry here is superb. The restaurant is a tad bit small, but the service is exceptional. As...
There were some nice touches to my lunch at Darjeeling -- they bring you some nice pickles, an appetizer fritter and a few homemade sauces.
Unfortunately though, the curry and the tandoori chicken w...
I went here for a late "Fourth of July" lunch, and I have to say I was pretty pleased. I got the avocado burger, and it was huge. Certainly not the best hamburger I've ever had, but it was p...
Baqet is a hybrid between a bakery and a restaurant. The main pull at this relatively small restaurant on the 8th floor of Yodobashi camera in Akihabara is the all-you-can-eat freshly-baked bread deal...
Organic food is one of the hottest trends, and Japan is in on it. On an average day, you see several organic restaurants in Tokyo. Sanmuru is a really fine example of Japan's take on organic cuisine. ...
Love ramen but always want a different type? Akiba noodles is a small, hard to find little shop that has all the different types of ramen you can imagine. In the middle of the shop is a table where yo...
