Yakiniku LIKE Shinjuku West Exit
Yakiniku restaurant
🫤 Yakiniku Like is good for what it is. The biggest problem is their queue system makes no sense. This place is built for solo travelers so any couple destroys wait time. With open seats they refuse to take solo people first so you end up with a couple blocking the entire line with a quarter of seats...

👍👍 The owner and staff are very friendly and cheerful, the grilled meats have a unique taste and the sauces are delicious. The fish dishes such as oysters and cheese toast are also great.

😠 Attitude is absolutely HK. Food is not. I just sat down and the waitress kept asking me to order to order. I didn’t have time to read the menu!!! Then I order one beef, just didn’t have time to say my second choice. She already showed her attitude, it’s like I didn’t order more. The point is I just...

Isomarusuisan Kabukicho Central Road
Izakaya restaurant
👍👍 This place has fresh seafood every day. Seafood option you can do a 'mini' BBQ style and I suggest order some already cooked food to consume while waiting for the rest. They have branches at almost every main station. All of the dishes are Japanese cuisines so don't expect pizza or pasta. Vibe wise,...

Cafe
🫤 Came here in the morning because were having a hard time finding early food. Ordering was tricky without an English menu and the barista seemed impatient with us since another customer walked in. The food was awful and had been sitting out on the counter despite it containing meat and dairy products...

SHUNKA Shinjuku Higashiguchi
Izakaya restaurant
🫤 When we are halfway with our meals, a very tiny baby cockroach is crawling on the sushi plate.Unsure of where it came from, we decided to stop eating. The waiter did apologize and offer a new one but we decline. Overall the food is pretty mediocre.

SAKE MARKET Shinjuku
Izakaya restaurant
👍👍 焼酎を中心に、各種お酒が飲み放題のお店。 一応椅子はあるけど、ややスタンティングな感じなので、酔っ払いすぎることがありません。もちろん飲み方次第ですが。 食べ物は持ち込みOKでもあり、お店で注文することもできるので良いです。 お酒好きにはもってこいのお店。色んなお酒を飲みたい時にはこちらへ!

👍 ["I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. It\u2019s a farm to table, really fresh food concept. We ended up here because any other vegan\/vegetarian friendly places already closed by 8 pm (they too do a last call at 9:30 pm here).\nThe staff was really nice in answering any...
