Excellent fresh sushi for as low as 75yen! try the hotate and taro!
Its a real small place with standing room only... for busy people on the go. I have visited two outlets and the one i like best is ...
I didn't expect to walk away so happy from Keawjai. The mix of spicy, sour and sweet flavours that is so typical of Thai food but so sorely lacking in most Japanese renditions came out in full force a...
Literally just walked out and felt the need to recommend this place. Pretty easy to find, next to the KDX building, Japanese gyoza are their thang. Choice of fried or boiled gyoza, with a garlic or n...

I was early for 2pm check-in at Shinjuku...
“Kushiage” literally means frying on sticks. It refers to the way in which you cook prepared pieces of fish or meat, or vegetables on sticks, by dipping them in flour and batter, and finally deep...
A lovely little shop, ideal for taking a date or just grabbing a bite to eat.
My vegetable curry was very nice and hot, but not overpowering, the nan breads made on site were very light and fluffy.

I think I was feeling overtly critical about food when I visited “Le coupe chou” in shinjuku, because I kept finding little details in the food that bothered me. I felt that their dishes are aimin...
At first I was a little worried by the surroundings that I was walking into a tiny hostess bar, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a large Thai restaurant behind the doors. The resaurant is well ...
To be honest, I was expecting more when I purposefully located this shop. It's on the West side of Shinjuku, which is pretty unknown to me as its basically a business district (in my eyes anyways). ...
I had been craving a juicy piece of meat for weeks now and my daydreams were answered by Arms, a small restaurant under Shinjuku station perfect for anyone needing a bite on the go. There are many bur...
This restaurant is a chain but I never would have guessed so from the outside. It serves an eclectic menu of pastas, "international" dishes such as omelette rice and desserts. It also boast...
If you happen to pass by the Mitsukoshi Alcott Building, the smell of curry from this small shop carries to the main streets of Shinjuku. It's appetizing smell arouses curiosity in by-passers but mos...
This Italian cafe specializes in espresso. The coffee is quite good and reasonably priced. The size of the iced coffee was larger than the average one is in Japan. Not a ton of space but you should be...

The phenomenal thing about this place is the buffet, which includes 4 curries, salad, nan, and rice runs from 11 am to 5 am, with no increase in cost at dinnertime. The buffet is only 1000 yen (all ti...

I was passing this kaiten sushi (回旋寿司) place on the way ...
Din Tai Fung stands proud as one of the world's top Chinese restaurants. Back in 1993 the New York Times awarded Din Tai Fung the distinction of being one of the top-ten restaurants of the world. Nowa...
I asked for spicy and got exactly what I bargained for. The spicy chicken stir fry lunch delivered for the first time in Japan enough heat to seriously challenge my tolerance for chilies.
Siam is l...
At the entrance there is a fish tank with your meal still swimming around in it. This place is that fresh. In fact, perhaps a little freaky but, the fugu came to our table with the cuts of fish stil...
