The Grill on 30th

Odaiba, Tokyo’s man-made island and entertainment center, has seen its share of comings and goings over the decades, but one thing can never be replaced: the stellar views of Tokyo Bay from its shores. As its name suggests, The Grill on 30th’s location on the 30th floor of the Grand Nikko Tokyo Daiba gives diners an unobstructed view of the sun setting on the Rainbow Bridge. Still, even if a restaurant has the best view in the world, it means nothing if the food isn’t up to scratch — but The Grill on 30th delivers in spades. Carefully-selected seasonal ingredients are sourced from all over the island, converging on Tokyo and served up hot from the restaurant’s grills; Japanese excellence meeting French finesse in a wonderfully eclectic combination. As is fitting for a grill-centric restaurant, its steak selection is particularly popular, with its offerings ranging from Japanese-raised wagyu beef to American and even Australian contenders — and its wine cellar is also decidedly international, letting visitors choose anything from the finest French merlot to the pride of Niigata’s vineyards. Its rotating menu means that The Grill on 30th sees its fair share of repeat visitors looking for new experiences every time — not just from Japan, but from all corners of the globe, thanks to an easily accessible English menu and bilingual staff.
