little hard to find but worth it! - Edit
It’s not quite where it shows on Google Maps, it is under the tracks and inside a small building. Look at street photos shown for accuracy.
Read moreI had the curry and it was incredible. A bit pricey compared to normal restaurants but it was such a deluxe meal, it was worth it. The owner is very kind and the atmosphere is wonderful. They have a special lunch menu that is a bit cheaper than normal but overall quite reasonably priced regardless.
Pros: Quality of food, Taste, Overall meal

Dango Delight - Edit
After a few days of conbini onigiri, it was great to get some real food again in Tokyo. Lovely food and fast service (it was quite empty when we came). A highlight for us was the roast-your-own dango. Probably poisonous fumes from the cute little cooker, but totally worth the experience for melty hot dango.

Wonderful shojin ryori! - Edit
Wonderful assortment of Japanese dishes. High quality food, and fully vegetarian. Hearty meal - often times in Japan found myself eating meals lacking in something or the other, but this meal was complete and delicious.
Read moreStaff was wonderful, and they asked us for feedback before we left! We both appreciated that and were happy to provide it.
Pros: Fully vegetarian menu, Great staff

Traditionnal japanese food. We took two set meals for dinner with dango for dessert. We had to wait a little but it was worth it.

Poor service the second time around - Edit
I’m really sad that I have to write this review. I never want to share feedback that reflects poorly of a place, but people should make informed decisions. This is why I write reviews.
Read moreI came here once a few months ago and had a fairly good experience, although the price is a bit more mid-tier for what is offered. However today, I came with a larger group of 5 people. No reservations so we waited outside and that is totally okay. When it was our turn, the staff informed us that they are low on rice and it’s fair — they close at 8 and we were making the order around 7. So we went ahead and ordered 3 sets of the rice, 1 set of udon, and 1 order of fries. We received the first three sets and the fries first, but we only got 3 pairs of chopsticks. I asked for one more because we have 5 people in total and she said no sharing. I pushed back just a bit more and said we also ordered the fries. She impatiently put it on our table in a relatively aggressive way.
When we were eating, we also noticed that a customer went up to pay and asked if credit card was possible. However, he made the mistake of holding cash in his hand, so the lady just said no, the machine isn’t working today. Obviously after he left, a few other customers paid with card, no issues whatsoever.
When we went up to pay, she asked us if we can pay cash. We don’t carry cash and knowing that cards are accepted, we let her know that we can only pay by card at this time. She went back inside and then came out, telling us okay, let’s give the machine a try. Magically, the card payment was clearly fine.
I don’t know. I had a fairly good experience first time, but this second time I left with a really upsetting experience. There’s clearly no service and I understand because the place is understaffed. I respect the lady for her work in managing the front by herself and later helping out with the kitchen as well, but clearly, it was a red flag after a red flag.
The price isn’t the fast food kind and it’s clearly not a self service place either. When she gave us a hard time for asking for an additional pair of chopsticks, I felt sad and disappointed.
I hope that others can make an informed decision whether or not to support this kind of business with this kind of service. I know for a fact that I won’t be going there anymore and will look for alternatives.

Tasty and fulfilling Japanese meal - Edit
The restaurant is found at a very unique location, which was directly underneath the metro train tracks. We had the set meal for dinner inclusive of rice, miso soup, and a few side-dishes. We didn't have to wait too long and the food was delicious

Great Japanese food - Edit
I came here and ordered the karage meal set.
Read moreThe set menu doesn’t include dessert on a weekend and is ¥500 more.
I really enjoyed the food here and the variety.
I was very full after and I would come back.
Edit: I came back and tried the other set, it was delicious but the karagee one is still better😄

Great combination - Edit
We ordered the komaki and soymeat set and both look great. Very reasonable price as well. The dongo is fun to cook by your self and tasty. We went there on a Sunday afternoon around 5pm and the wait time was like 10 minutes.

De los pocos lugares completamente veganos - Edit
Me costó un rato encontrarlo, pues está dentro del pequeño centro comercial Chabara.
Read moreFui un día domingo y el mismo menú era casi 500 yenes más caro que en los días de semana, así que no recomiendo para fines de semana.
Por 1700 yenes aprox. el plato completamente vegan era bastante rico, sobretodo unos "filetes" de una especie de mezcla de distintas soyas que dan una textura parecida al pollo, bastante sabroso y todo hecho en base a plantas, que no habia probado en otros lugares.
Con todo y eso, si comes harto, puede que la cantidad de comida sea poca.

The food was good but not the best so far, so I can’t justify the price that is more than average. I also had the parfait and it was very big (probably better to share😄)

Affordable spread - Edit
I’m assuming this is the same place as Shojin Komaki Shokudo, which is what is said on the sign. I had a fixed-price menu for lunch and paid 1,210 Yen for the smallest option, which had soy meat, rice, soup, salad, and 5 small sides. It was all delicious. The place is quite small with not much of a distinctive interior design.
