We were both pleasantly surprised and disappointed. We were seated in a cute corner table rather than at the counter top which removed us from the quaint bustling atmosphere where we felt something w...
Hibiya park is something of an earthly paradise. There's a saying in Japan, “green is the medicine of the eyes,” and walking into the park is a renewing experience. In the middle of the park, ther...
This is the best burger I've had...in Tokyo. It's a pretty decent burger by American standards too though. I got the avocado burger set, and for thirteen dollars I got a nice, big burger, some fries (...
Kiji is a famous Okonomi-yaki restaurant based in Osaka, and this was its first venture into Tokyo, established in 1970. There's always a long line outside but a relatively quick turnover rate.
Over the years I have been to Luxor in Marunouchi and Shirokane several times both for lunch and dinner. The food is always very nicely prepared and the menu quite interesting. On the latest visit to ...
I love this place. It's a bit cramped and noisy because of the train -- but the food is just regular Thai food that is as good or better than the Mango Tree and all of the ridiculously overpriced Thai...
Hiro Primo is a prominent feature of Kitchen Street, a modern, upscale dining complex built to service the crowds of businesspeople from nearby Marunouchi. There's usually a line at lunch, but I only ...
The food is French-inspired at Nouvelle Ere, but the thinking is global, and many interesting combinations, some of which were a first for me, appeared on the plate. And lots of foams.

Architecture, Landmarks & Historical Places ( Tokyo Station )
There isn't much you can say about a convention space. I mean, it's basically a big box with ever-changing contents. The sections of the building set up for their architectural beauty are a lovely s...
Not a very large location, but the service was good and the food was excellent. Very California-esque as far as the menu is concerned - a fusion of Japanese and western components with a touch of Mex...
If you want a slightly funky, unconventional, high-end sushi experience, why not head over to the hump in the Marunouchi area. You'll enjoy the view, atmosphere, and the food for a moderate price.

Saboten is a very typical, standard tonkatsu chain. Their price and quality is in line with Wako, another tonkatsu chain. And like Wako, they also serve their tonkatsu with sesame, which you grind to ...

I usually come to Uogashi Sushi with my boss at lunchtime. It's an inexpensive but tasty sushi restaurant with a good atmosphere.

I don't pretend to have the foggiest as to what constitutes genuine Indian cuisine but when I see Indians cooking in the kitchen and dotted throughout the dining room, I think we must be pretty close ...
We went there on a sunday for the lunch buffet for 2625 Yen per person which is not cheap, but the pictures on the net about the meal were looking good. Additional, the view should be good from the 35...
On a recent visit to the well-known (and, these days, well-worn) Sens et Saveurs I was able to take in a large and leisurely Sunday lunch. After having spent the morning watching a documentary about d...
This is another one of those places in the office buildings of the Marunouchi area. At lunch times, it's filled with suited workers catching a quick, satisfying, filling lunch. At dinner times, there ...
This high class bar caters to a very specific crowd. The bar is very large, with a bar and standing room in front, seating area in back, a full lower level, and tables, couches, and a bar outside as w...
