jonathan cheng replied over 3 years agoFrench Pastry Heaven 1
Pierre Hermé of Parisian and Ladurée fame opened several locations in Tokyo. The macarons and chocolates and other pastries are uniformly yumtastic and not to be missed. The store at Aoyama is designed by Wonderwall; should be an event in itself just to visit.

Damien McMahon replied over 3 years agoGreat Bars, Cheap price
Tokyo has many cheap bars that offer decent beer prices between 6-9. Usually Y200 is all a beer costs. Having lived in Tokyo for a year, I can highly recommend Standing Bar O. An underground bar with cool decor and friendlym english speaking staff. Happy hour is from 5-9 and all drinks are half price.
Head past McDonalds in Shibuya and it's opposite Tasu-ichi in the basement.

Damon Garrett replied over 3 years agoUmenohana Tofu Restaurants
Umenohana is a chain of restaurants specializing in dishes made from Tofu (bean curd). There are several central locations within Tokyo (refer website) and the lunchtime set menus are recommended as the best way of being introduced to the versatility of this important ingredient in Japanese cuisine.

Nick Palevsky replied over 3 years agoDaidai-ya
Daidai-ya, although mildly expensive, is a really pleasant dining experience. The establishment is in a large space on the top floor of a building, with lots of cosy, private spaces. The servers are young and friendly and the food is delicious!
It bills itself as a "fusion" restaurant, and indeed, there are some--fairly subtle, I thought--departures from traditional Japanese cuisine.
There are also branches in Shinjuku and Ginza (or near to Ginza).
This tip has the address "Akasaka" -
Martina Gobec replied over 2 years agoFor all the expats and business visitors hanging around Shinagawa, there's Tofuro izakaya in the Shinagawa complex (although Tofuro is a chain, so you can find it elsewhere). It's middle priced, but really good food. Fresh tofu every half an hour and I must say the creamy one is absolutely delicious!! Besides the good food, and village-style interior, there's also electronic fireworks =.)
Here's a pic I took on one of my trips to Tokyo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/freckle_m/512090752/

Enjoy!

Anna Wikström replied over 2 years agoI would recommend Elephant Café in Harajuku, opposite of Laforet and next to GAP. It has an amazing interior and really cheap and tasty food. We usually came here as a group of 4-6 people a bit later in the evening, ordered a lot of different dishes which we all shared and tasted. The food is asian, kind of thai-style. We went here many times and also had a party here. Don't miss it!

Hakan Nyberg replied over 2 years agoThis is simply a wonderful place to eat. Probably the best Japanese meal I've ever had. The guys who run the restaurant are young, passionate about what they do, friendly and very, very, very skilled. Images and a little more here: http://www.guidebook.se/?p=665

Sami Niemelä replied over 2 years agoMosburger!
Yes, I'm talking about the Japanese hamburger restaurant chain. Their chicken teriyaki burger is pretty awesome and should be experienced at least once in between all the sashimi you'll get in Tokyo anyway. Besides, unlike the western equivalents, their portions are nicely snack-sized for most western folks.
Curiosity: IF you happen to go there hungry and in a company, be aware that the clerks probably won't believe you if you order more than three burgers at once. Happened to us on all three times we went:)
