Authentic reviews of Tokyo's best restaurants and famous restaurants!

🌟Shibuya's Best Tonkatsu!! ➕ Sirloin Recommendation

📍 12-3 Kamiyamacho, Shibuya, Tokyo 150-0047 Japan

📌I had tonkatsu before going to Shibuya Sky! The tenderloin was sold out, so I ordered sirloin, special sirloin, and katsudon. The sirloin was just as good as the famous tonkatsu restaurants in Korea! It was absolutely delicious. The special sirloin was delicious, but it got greasy and had a slight porky smell as I ate. The katsudon was just average! The staff were so friendly!! They even gave me detailed instructions on how to eat it. 🥹 There were a lot of locals and Koreans there!

🌟Harajuku Ramen ➕ Sung Si-kyung's Recommended Restaurant

📍 Japan 〒150-0001 Tokyo, Shibuya, Jingumae, 1 Chome−13−21 １Ｆ

📌It was really close to Harajuku Station! But... other than that, there's no real merit to it. ㅎㅎ The broth was a bit weak, and the chashu wasn't that great... and it was too salty. ㅜ It wasn't a great value either, so it was the most disappointing restaurant. 😂 ➕I'd recommend Ichiran instead. ㅎㅎ

🌟Shinjuku Nojo Kitsaten ➕ Recommended Omelet Rice!

📍 Japan 〒160-0021 Tokyo, Shinjuku City, Kabukicho, 1 Chome-6-12 Hanamichi Tokyo Kabukicho 2nd Floor

📌We went right after opening, but it was already packed! Most of the customers were in their teens and twenties! You can really feel the antique Japanese atmosphere! The parfait and melon soda were just for Instagram. ㅎㅎ The taste was average, but the omelet rice was really delicious! A truly Japanese omelet rice! It's so tender and delicious, I highly recommend it🩵 The staff were all friendly and helpful😊

🌟Ikebukuro Yakiniku Restaurant➕Highly Recommended Special Beef Tongue!💯💯

📍 Japan 〒170-0013 Tokyo, Toshima City, Higashiikebukuro, 1 Chome-28-4, Modern Building, B1F

📌This isn't particularly famous, but it's a real gem! First off, almost all the customers were locals, and the owner tried his best to communicate in Korean🥹 The menu is divided into regular and special, and the special is worth the price, but it's seriously delicious! If I ever go to Ikebukuro, I'll definitely be back💯!

🌟Ikebukuro Kura-zushi

📍 Japan 〒170-0013 Tokyo, Toshima City, Higashiikebukuro, 1 Chome−29−1 Santorope Ikebukuro Building 6F

📌The incredibly famous Kura-zushi! I originally planned to go there, but the wait was over three hours, and the food was surprisingly good! I'm not a fan of going to franchises when I travel, but the yellowtail sushi was really good! The value for money made it even better! I also recommend the savory egg custard if you want to try Japanese savory egg custard! I wouldn't go out of your way to try it, but if you have time or, like me, have a plan that's out of the way, I highly recommend it!

🌟Ikebukuro Monjayaki ➕Only recommend the monjayaki...

📍 Japan 〒170-0013 Tokyo, Toshima City, Higashiikebukuro, 1 Chome−2−5 東輝ビル 2F3F

📌Tokyo's famous monjayaki! It was my first time trying it! I recommend it as a snack rather than a meal! There were only locals there. The staff was super friendly, and the highball was delicious! However... I don't recommend the okonomiyaki. Just eat the monjayaki! I added kirimochi to my mentaiko! If you're staying in the Ikebukuro area, I recommend it, but I don't think it's worth the trip all the way to Ikebukuro to try!

🌟Tsujihan, a famous restaurant near Tokyo Station!

📍 Japan 〒103-0027 Tokyo, Chuo City, Nihonbashi, 3 Chome−1−15 Kuei Bldg. 1F

📌As expected from a famous restaurant, there was quite a line even though I went 30 minutes before opening! There were a lot of Koreans! I waited for 40-50 minutes to eat! The staff told me to mix it all together, so I did, but either the wasabi was too strong or the portion was too large, it was too spicy for my nose. ㅜㅠ I also added sea urchin separately, but I don't think it was necessary. They give you broth when you're halfway through, and they even refill your rice for free! Honestly, I don't think it's worth waiting 50 minutes for. ㅎㅎ But it's worth trying at least once during your trip!
