Tokyo 餐厅

“I didn’t eat sushi. I ate an art.” My friend’s accolade to Chef Shin/taro. It was an anticipated dinner that did not disappoint. Before going to the restaurant, I read a few bad reviews. Having eaten there, I have questions about those reviews. One said that the chef was unfriendly. He was focused on his “art” not busy making small talk. His Korean sous chef Park more than made up with his friendly explanations. The quality of ingredients, just right rice and understated sauce brought harmonious taste. An elderly gentleman was dining there solo. He has been enjoying this chef’s sushi for nearly 30 year. Chef Suzuki-san offered this gentleman a shima aji negri when others were served Uni. My guess is that the chef knows the customer’s preferences. This is more important than being friendly. The other complaint was upselling. I chose an add on uni dish. I would rather pay extra for uni when the omakase price here is less than half that at Kanesaka another Michelin two star restaurant. Price of drinks and corkage is more than reasonable here. I will be back next month and am already looking forward to it.

Very nice and small Japanese restaurang, close to the chiefs preparing. Lovely place and delisous sushi.

Best sushi omakase I ever experienced! Every dish was beautifully arranged with local ingredients of Japan. Kenjiro Hashida was professional, funny and entertaining! Never a dull moment and felt like we were at home just having a great time!!! Mahalo Kenjiro Hashida and staff for an unforgettable experience that we will treasure for many years to come! We will be back for sure! Aloha 🤙🤙🤙

Good Sake, nice Izakaya

The sushi was good, and the sushi bus was a fun and unique experience. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the driver made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the tour. However, the directions provided by ByFood were unclear, and I almost missed the bus because of them. I also would have liked the tour to include more sightseeing and additional landmarks around Tokyo. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, but clearer meeting instructions and an expanded sightseeing route would make it even better!

Great experience and concept!

Amazing experience, delicious flavours and combos and I would recommend it to anyone! Very experienced and kind chef

Good food. A serious approach to Yikatori. Good wine pairing. Good service.

This was a very special way to start our Japan vacation. The food and service were impeccable. We appreciated all flavour journey the chef took us on. Will be thinking about this meal for a long time.

Great experience, amazing food and incredible service. 100% recommend

Wonderful dinner, amazing place and super super staff Arigato Gozaimas!!!

A truly memorable dinner! The course is themed around the history of life on Earth, so each dish is named after a different era, like the “birth of the ocean” or “fluorishing of mammals. The theme carries through everything, down to the cutlery and how each plate is served. The food mixes Latin flavors with Japanese ingredients like mochi, which isn’t a combination you come across often in Japan. My favorite part was the textures. Each dish felt different, and I never quite knew what to expect next. It’s dark and cozy inside, but the lighting makes the food stand out even more. The staff explained the idea behind each dish in English, which helped me appreciate what I was eating. One thing to know: portions are on the small side, so if you have a big appetite, you might not leave completely full. A good pick for a birthday, anniversary, or special night out, or if you just want to try something different in Ginza.
