Best places: Japanese izakaya restaurants in Shibuya, Japan

😐 I have read a lot of good reviews for that however this is rather small place which seems a bit odd to me. When we entered it was full of strange looking people who seems to enjoy getting drunk and looking in to (to)young Japanese girls. I know it is part of Japanese modern culture but it does seems...

👍👍 Found myself wanting some cocktails while in Shibuya and came across this one. It's inside a building on the basement level. Very small with limiter seating. We were lucky and got some counter seating. You are provided a qr code that takes you to a website for all the drinks and food. It is well de...

Polished fixture with high-end yakiniku meats & Korean snacks, plus all-you-can-drink options.

👍👍 We are in love with this place. For our last night in Tokyo we were able to make a reservation on the phone and could sit by the counter. Everyone was so friendly, warm and the atmosphere was magnificent. The food was 10/10 and one of the few places that considers vegetarians as well. Thank you, thi...

😠 Tried to get in Sunday night. The room looked visually at least half empty, and there was only two of us in the party. The person at the door didn't speak barely any English, he quickly got annoyed and said "we're full" weaving us to leave. This place appears to be not foreign-friendly so watch out.

Unfussy restaurant prepping Indian & Nepalese meals including biryani, momos, grilled meats & soups.

Japanese fusion food with a seafood focus, plus seasonal specials, in a snug, simple venue.

👍👍 Best meal in Tokyo so far. The staff was attentive, highly skilled, and understood their craft deeply. We felt welcomed as tourists and the chef talked us through all the dishes as well as the sake pairings which were unique and delicious. We would definitely come back.

👍👍 Potohar is a tiny place but they do make a big difference compared to other Indian restaurants in Tokyo. The difference is in the delicacy and detail of their food. The salad dressing with their homemade pickled spice onions, the fresh naan baked in the tandoori oven which is not too sweet compared...

Bee & honey motifs decorate this casual Italian restaurant known for pasta dishes & cheese fondue.

Cozy yakitori joint offering chicken skewers, beer & sake in a festive, easygoing atmosphere.

👍👍 Worth waiting a while in the rain for a table to open up. You can tell the owner takes great pride in the food and drink. Hamburger was fully cooked without being dry. Endless refills on rice! Flavor is amazing. Potato salad is better than expected, and I think it's an improvement on the American v...

👍👍 One of the best dining experiences in Japan. The food was super delicious, the atmosphere was amazing, and the service was spot on. I would highly recommend this place. We ordered the omakase set, otoro, fried octopus, fried fish wings, waygu steak, and aburi salmon 🍣. Highly recommend all dishes....

😠 They charged me for a double drink that I didnt ask for due to their dice rolling game that they have when you order a drink. The waitress played it out as if I won a free double drink when I didnt and didnt mention the extra charge. The food wasnt that great either. I would not recommend this scam...

Stylish spot for in Japanese okonomiyaki pancakes & French toast cooked on an iron griddle.

👍👍 Hidden gem in Shibuya, it’s hard to get to. It’s located in the ground floor of the Parco Mall. There’s a large food hall on the ground floor and that is where it is. It’s not located at street level. The food was next level. Incredibly fresh, but their unique spices makes all the fake meat taste g...

Tiki-themed dining room serving a global menu, including tacos, spaghetti & classic Indian tandoori.

👍👍 I randomly Googled restaurants near me and found this gem of a place. They provided an English menu, free appetizer, and free miso + candy at the end of the meal. I ordered the potato egg salad dish,4 different types of skewers (pork belly, beef skirt, chicken breast with skin, and mochi cheese), an...

😠 Ordered their signature dish of a soft shell crab roll. It was 2 bites of mediocrity. Had a salad, which was pretty good (but mostly white lettuce), nice dressing. I finally had the spicy soup which they warn you about on the menu. BE CAREFUL IT’S SO SPICY. Not only was it not spicy, it was flavorle...

😠 I rarely write reviews and when I do it has been because places have been especially good. This is not the case here. We came based on the positive reviews but after two drinks, two bland tasting fried prawns (accompanied by a couple of pieces of asparagus and a mushroom), and a 5300 yen bill I feel...
