Maidcafe Maidreamin Shinjuku East-exit Store
Cosplay cafe
😠 Similar to what another commenter said, they definitely try forcing you leave a 5 star review on Google for them at the end of the meal. I’m pretty sure most of the 5 star reviews here are because of that, we certainly were fooled.
Our personal experience: went with a group of friends shortly after...

Tempura Shinjuku Tsunahachi Souhonten
Tempura restaurant
👍 This is one of the restaurants that we will never miss on each of our trips to Tokyo. Apparently, it has been around for more than 100 years.
Usually, there is a queue during dinner, and will take about 30 minutes before you are invited inside the restaurant, not to be seated at the dining table bu...

Hinomaru
Yakiniku restaurant
😠 Worst experience ever in Tokyo. Most staffs speak Mandarin, it’s like going to China. Look at food quality including how they are organized, from my photos. You know why it’s a scam place. People are giving 5 stars bc they are craving for free ice cream.
Trying not to be that aggressive but I just...

Tsurutontan Shinjuku
Udon noodle restaurant
👍👍 I was introduced to Tsurutontan by a local friend and I always patronize them each time I’m in Tokyo. Their udon in huge bowls never fails to satisfy. This time around a friend brought us here for hotpot. Having been to the Roppongi and Ginza outlets, the Shinjuku decor certainly is very different w...

Fishing Restaurant Zauo Shinjuku
Izakaya restaurant
👍👍 What's not to love ! Catch Your own fish and let the chef know how you like it cooked! Then sit back.. enjoy the atmosphere and have some warm sake. The fishing rods have really sharp hooks so don't let your children handle the rods without your supervision or someone might get hurt. When you catch...

Tokyo Mentsu-dan
Udon noodle restaurant
👍👍 Pretty good stop for Udon. I’m not an expert on Udon but these folks were making it fresh as we entered (literally cutting and rolling the flat sheets to noodles with the help of some machines).
Lots of options for toppings and choice of broth or curry. It was like a pix and mix! Food was really go...

Isomaru Suisan Shinjuku 3choume
Izakaya restaurant
👍 A nice place to come if you want to have some grilled snacks and for the late night munchies. You will tell the host your party size and they will give you a number that they will refer you too, and your line on the waitlist. We were No. 3 and although the restaurant was packed, we didn’t have to wa...

😠 予約していたのに入り口に謎の行列ができており放置。やっと通されたのは予約した個室ではなく会話すらまともにできない五月蝿い大広間。
サービス品質、料理・飲み物すべて最低レベル。レトルトのほうがマシ。だがしっかり金は取る。ここまで最悪な飲食店は過去に経験がない。
