Best places: Japanese izakaya restaurants in Minato, Japan

Soup dumplings, fried gyoza & Chinese-style dim sum in a compact, lantern-strung venue.

😠 Tiniest size portions which are completely unauthentic to an average Indian and pathetic ambience. In Paneer Butter Masala served in a miniature pan, there were exactly three very small pieces of paneer and thin gravy. There was loud yelling going on from a gang of 12 drunk people on a large table i...

🫤 I ordered the yukke bowl course for 5,500 yen. The meat in the amuseum had the smell of unbleeded wild game, and while the main dish of yukhoe bowl was not bad, the large amount of white rice left me ``ugh''. Pumpkin soup was served with the claim that it was made with beef stock, but (maybe it's ju...

Hakata-style skewers dominate the menu along with sashimi, shochu & sake in a compact, lively space.

😠 Food is not bad but customer service is ridiculous. In the middle of my dinner, server came to me and said they don’t have enough hot plate (L size Laksa) and ask me to change to a smaller bowl from my hot plate. I was shocked, my entire table was shocked to be honest. We didn’t expect such a horrib...

Artful izakaya restaurant specializing in straw-roasted cuisine & featuring a dramatic open kitchen.

👍👍 Been here with my wife, we both enjoyed this specialized yakitori restaurant. Staff is enthusiastic and the atmosphere cozy and Joyful.. But the best part are the yakitori them selves, the real deal! Let me tell you, you have hardly ever experienced such flavors when biting a skewer in your entire l...

👍👍 This is where I have a meal if I am at Roppongi without reservation. Even though this is a popular chain, I have been always lucky with finding a seat without reservation. Even on Fridays and Saturdays. However, in Shibuya branch, I could find a seat without reservation only once. This is a place f...

👍👍 Incredibly friendly and welcoming atmosphere, with nice attentive personnel. It easily became my go-to night-time isekaya for several of my nights in Tokyo. Food is reasonably priced (at about 300-500 yen per item), and everything is freshly prepared in front of you. If you are a foreigner and wan...

🫤 Food was served slowly and drinks never arrived. I understand if it's busy, but it was a weekday evening and there weren't that many people... The customers who came before us got their drinks faster. There were only female employees, but everyone seemed to be having fun chatting with each other. If...

👍👍 I am in Tokyo very often. (I’m from Germany) This restaurant is one of my favorite sushi stores. Friendly service - always egg smile and always know what the guest wants. Very good quality. I can very gladly recommend!

👍 Amazing quality, presentation and taste. Can't beat it. A local friend took us there. I can say that I had best sushi in Tokyo. However, I like American style sushi with fancy rolls over this authentic one.

👍 Really nice soba restaurant near Roppongi Hills. It's a pretty popular spot so if you're coming in a group, it may be better to reserve. We got the cold dipping soba and tempura set. It didn't disappoint, the noodles were chewy with some bite and the tempura fried perfectly. Price is very reasonabl...

👍👍 We had two pizzas - Margarita and Quattro formaggi - and enjoyed them a lot! Felt we wasted our money at other pizza restaurants for lower quality. Definitely visit again!

Narrow, counter-serve noodle house dishing up green tea soba & other unique delicacies.

😠 I’ve step in at 21:00 and been told by host that is no place available for one person and anyway, it’s by reservation only. Same time the place was 80% empty. The host started to play herself that she doesn’t understand English. Very rude, unprofessional and unwelcome. I walked around one hour later...

😐 Not a pleasant experience We got wrong meal orders and the lady was laughing at us when we tried to complain. Meanwhile we eats, the order sequence of the meal got rushed. the soup hot pot was still on the table but next course of meal arrives. Which makes us had 2 course at the same time. Eventua...

Storied restaurant with traditional Japanese dishes & live entertainment in old-world surroundings.

👍👍 "Soba" is really good! High quality and affordable! Definitely recommended if you like soba. It is a happy restaurant where you can eat delicious soba to your heart's content. The buckwheat goes down your throat, has a good texture, and you can feel the flavor. The soup is also well balanced wit...
