This is hands down the best and freshest tempura I've ever had. You sit at the bar and they make the tempura as you order!
Sushi Tokami is a new place run by a young chef with very good reports so far http://tabelog.com/tokyo/A1301/A130103/13155234/
Tuna spareribs, yellowtail carpaccio and mushrooms. Go for the sake, not the sangria. Incredible meal.
This popular chain’s flagship specializes in tonkatsu—panko-breaded pork cutlet that’s fried golden and drizzled with an addictive sweet-tart sauce. Get the kurobuta (Berkshire pork).
This is the 3 starred fugu restaurant of your dreams. It's not cheap but you won't care as its a meal worth dying for

Terminal 1, near gate 34. Make the trip, this place is worth it. In fact go to the airport early. The chef's omakase nigiri set is incredible, but also the wild blue-fin tuna set is insane.
The unagi rice was seriously die-for.Really large portion of unagi over rice, the sauce is so good. I am not a rice lover but i finished all the rice- abaorbed all the essence and flavour from unagi. Read more.
Situated around a Zen-style garden, Toufuya-Ukai serves just about every dish in the Japanese culinary lexicon, but it's the homemade twice-fried tofu that it is especially known for. Read more.

After a stroll through Akihabara, dine on mori soba. Other good dishes tempura soba and goma soba. Expect a line.
Award winning pizzeria. Their menu is a culinary trip to Italy: from diverse antipasti, over a fantastic pizza up to the excellent dolce
Forget what you thought tempura was. This place redefines it completely. Best tempura I've ever had. Love that asparagus and shrimp head. The bounciest sweetest shrimp. Worth every penny.
The tsukemen is an absolute must. If you can only eat tsukemen once during your trip in Tokyo, make sure it's here 😊
Go upstairs, ask for the English menu, insert money and order on the vending machine, go back outside to wait to be called via the tube by the alley. It's crazy, but just do it :)
Amazing Kaiseki in the Roppongi area.. Go for the Omasake because no one speaks English there. One of the 50 best restaurants in Tokyo

Super thick flavorful Unagi in a traditional, small but warm and welcoming atmosphere :) expensive for sure but you won't regret the experience.

Must get the nogizaka specialty! Rolls topped with endless amounts of salmon roe / chopped toro and sea urchin!
A beautiful, modern place for shopping, eating, and taking in the sights. We get a little weak at the knees whenever we think about the tea and French macaroons at Patisserie Sadaharu AOKI Paris.
A fantastic place where you will be served an exquisite sukiyaki cooked over charcoal by your table in a traditional setting. The for a westerner unconventional seating position is worth enduring.
Lovely izakaya. Must order the uni cold pasta. Sesame tofu was a surprise as well. A little hard to find with its hidden location. Just located around the corner of the street
If you like eel dishes, “Ganso Unatetsu” is a one of the best restaurant and Izakaya in Tokyo. Very reasonable. Read more.
Gyukatsu Motomura. They only serve Beef Cutlet. It is special and delicious; juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. I recommend the "double meat" option :)

Opened by a chef who used to work at Quintessence. Great reviews and open Sundays. http://tabelog.com/tokyo/A1306/A130603/13093814/
Try delicious "Sarashina". Unlike "Mori", sarashina is white and more resilient. You can enjoy feeling of soba noodle in your mouth. Also, "tamago yaki(japanese omelette" is good. It's sweet. :-)

Onsen in a suburban quiet Tokyo area. It's more original and cheap. You get a towel for some extra bucks. Has a restaurant, a zen garden, sauna, jacuzzi and a relaxing spring in the open.
Without a doubt this place gets 5 stars for ambiance and atmosphere. But if you looking for the best, and juiciest Tonkatsu this may not be the place for you.
Only 22 seats total, so be sure to make a reservation well in advance for this 3 michelin starred restaurant (though they do not accept reservations made from outside the country).

Highest ranked ramen on Tabelog Tokyo http://tabelog.com/tokyo/A1312/A131204/13111737/
Both Chicken and Pork Katsu are fantastic. Don't forget to follow the advice to use just a little salt on the first bite of katsu.
Beef sukiyaki is amazing. The cheapest is already very good (at least by western standard) but we also tried the medium quality and that was mind blowing melt in mouth. Not a cheap place but worth it!
They have been grilling over charcoal for 60 odd years and it's serious (chochin)!! https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.411783585619269.1073741861.359957320801896&type=3
If you like to eat Sukiyaki, eat at Asakusa Imahan. They've been around for many years already. Great customer service too! Read more.
Very good Kaiseki cooking. Not as good as Kojyu, or Ginza Okuda, but great value for money
Sea urchin rolled with roast beef. Treat to your mouth. Open 4-8pm only but always full. Many good ones run out quickly even by 6.
Booked 2 months in advance and luckily we got a table for two for lunch. Lunch comes with almost all the same dishes but the price is much more affordable. Amazing... Read more.

A++. Two lunch sets ¥3000 and ¥5000 – ¥5000: 9 pieces and a roll, ends with dessert. Lunch crowd clears out at around 12:40. One of the chefs speaks great English, and they are all super friendly. ❤️
Fresh handmade cold (Zaru) soba noodles (also udon and hiyamugi available). Go for the seasonal tempura, tofu skin or hot curry! English menu available, good service. Simple and very well done. Yummy

Ridiculously good charcoal-grilled chicken on this oyako-don here. This is a world away from your usual "chicken over rice". Come here during lunch hours (11:30am to 4pm) for a cheaper set meal!
I had the BEST Risotto so far .. i enjoyed eating in BVLGARI Ristorante more than shopping in BVLGARI boutique ;p lol
When Monocle named it "Best restaurant in the world" I was very skeptical- but now I understand... it is absolutely the best Italian-inspired food I have had ANYWHERE! Tomori needs Michelin stars...
They offer 7 kinds of matcha gelato here! The premium (7) one is a bit too bitter I would recommend 3 or 4. The wakocha (Japanese black tea), sencha and hojicha are also good! Tea gelato paradise😍
This place is so much fun & not anything like usual themed spots. Love the private rooms, ninja servers, fun dishes, mystery!The food is actually So good here! Every course was excellent, all 11.
Get the margherita and the marinara because they’re some of the best pizzas you’ll ever eat. Then, if you’re nice, you might ask for an off-menu cheese special.
Here is the casual eel skewers restaurant. Each skewers are about 300 yen each. If you love eels & live around Jiyugaoka, I highly recommend here! Credit cards aren't accepted & smoking is allowed.
