After finishing a movie at "Tokyo Midtown Hibiya," I decided to have lunch ❤️ It was a bit expensive, but I managed to find a place that I could afford when I checked in. I hit the jackpot (lol)! The lunch set included 7 types of tempura, fresh vegetables, miso soup, pickles, and unlimited rice for 1400 yen ❤️ When I sat at the counter, a plate of cabbage, carrots, and cucumber sticks with various sauces was served. Soon after, the fried pork fillet arrived, each piece freshly fried. It was delicious when dipped in the sweet sauce with a bit of mustard. The shrimp and shiso roll was seasoned, so I squeezed some lemon juice for a refreshing taste. The green asparagus wrapped in meat was a standout with mayonnaise on top. The sweet potato and white fish with salt were also delightful. The roast beef and quail egg added a nice touch. I decided to order an additional dish of crab claws for 200 yen, which was also delicious with lemon juice. For dessert, I had a banana topped with whipped cream. I thoroughly enjoyed this lunch experience and felt very satisfied. All of this for 1400 yen (I ordered an extra dish, so it became 1600 yen)! ❤️

The restaurant is located in Hibiya Midtown and has several counter seats where you can watch them fry the skewers right in front of you. For lunch, they offer a set meal with freshly fried skewers, vegetables, rice, and miso soup. You can have unlimited refills of rice and miso soup. The skewers are all freshly fried and you can ask for recommendations on sauces or salt. The quality of the food is high and the atmosphere inside the restaurant is nice and clean. The lunch prices are reasonable, making it a convenient option to dine at.

I have been to Shinjuku several times, but this was my first time in Hibiya. I had the impression that there would be a long line, but I was quickly guided in and the location is more convenient here, so I consider myself lucky. The style is the same as Shinjuku, where you can just leave it up to them to bring out dishes, so I can relax and chat with friends without having to think about ordering each time, which is great for me. They also adjust the pace for you. I stopped at around 15 dishes and then changed to my preferences. It's also fun to have a variety of sauces to choose from. Thank you for the meal.

This is my second visit. You can enjoy a variety of deep-fried skewers with a stop-order system. There are plenty of options so you won't get bored! It comes with vegetable sticks and a side dish, as well as ice cream for dessert. I felt that it was very cost-effective.

I indulged in delicious kushikatsu during the Bon festival period in August 2023. I decided to go to a kushikatsu restaurant, and although Shinjuku Tachikichi is conveniently close to my home, I opted for the less crowded Shinjuku Tachikichi Hibiya branch. I arrived a little after 6 pm and found some empty seats at the counter, which was the right choice. The counter was set with various sauces - spicy, sweet, hot, soy sauce, and salt. Fresh vegetables were served, and the kushikatsu chef promptly asked for my drink order. I started with a bottle of Ebisu beer and some appetizers. The kushikatsu dishes were served one by one, each with its recommended sauce. I switched to sake halfway through and enjoyed the variety of flavors. The meal included a range of ingredients like shrimp, pork, mushrooms, onions, garlic, asparagus, cheese, eel, okra, beef, quail eggs, and more. I finished with strawberry ice cream and roasted green tea. I ate too much but left satisfied.

It was an early lunch, so I was able to enter the restaurant quickly. All seating is at the counter. They fry the food right in front of you. The lunch menu is set with 8 types of fried skewers. You can add more if you need. You can also get refills of rice, so there were many men there as well.

I used it for a holiday lunch. I was surprised that they served each of the 7 kinds of skewers with fresh vegetables, miso soup, pickles, and rice for 1400 yen (tax included)!! Everything was delicious and piping hot!! Thank you for the feast ~

I had a delicious lunch of deep-fried skewers. Due to the heat, I decided to have beer with my meal. I went to "Shinjuku Tachibana Hibiya Store" for some deep-fried skewers. It was a little past 12:20 on a holiday in August, and the restaurants on the 2nd floor of Tokyo Midtown Hibiya were not too crowded. There was no line at "Shinjuku Tachibana Hibiya Store," and there were empty seats available. This location in Tokyo Midtown used to be where the Chiyoda Theater was located. The place where Hibiya Shante now stands used to be the site of the pre-war Hibiya Movie Theater. It has changed a lot since then. I wonder how many years ago it was when I saw "Enter the Dragon" at the Hibiya Movie Theater. - Deep-fried skewer lunch set ¥1,400 Deep-fried skewers (7 types) Fresh vegetables Miso soup Pickles Rice (refills available) - Bottle of beer (medium size) ¥700 They asked if I wanted my rice later, but I asked for it to be served with the meal. The 7 types of deep-fried skewers were: - Shrimp and shiso leaf roll: Squeeze lemon on top - Pork tenderloin: Sweet sauce and mustard - Quail egg: Soy sauce - Asparagus: Plain - Roast beef: Spicy sauce - Sweet potato: Salted - Smelt fish: Plain - Dessert skewer: Banana I was offered additional skewers before the dessert, but I was already satisfied with the meal!

I've been going to this deep-fried skewer restaurant for a long time. It's a great place where you can keep ordering skewers for 200 yen each until you say stop. The food is delicious and the service is good. The Shinjuku branch doesn't take reservations, so you have to wait in line, but recently they started calling you when your turn is up if you leave your name and phone number. It's nice to add your favorite skewers at the end, so try looking at the menu halfway through your meal.

I have been to the Shinjuku location many times, but this was my first time at the Hibiya location! I visited for lunch and the atmosphere inside was similar to the Shinjuku location, but cleaner! I ordered an additional two skewers and was very satisfied with the total cost of 1400 yen plus 400 yen. It was a bit disappointing that they didn't provide hot towels.

When choosing a restaurant, I rarely go for deep-fried skewers, but this time I was taken by my cousin. It was my first time visiting, but I think it's a great place with each skewer priced at 200 yen, a wide variety of skewers, a nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and excellent cost performance. Be careful with the asparagus skewer as it's difficult to eat and very hot. LOL

We visited after finishing a movie at Hibiya Midtown around 8:30 PM. They offer skewers for 200 yen each, which are small and easy to eat. You can eat a lot of them. They keep bringing them until you say stop. We ate around 35 skewers for two people. I didn't notice any strong smell of oil. The breadcrumbs were not too fine or too coarse, and although I initially felt they were a bit lacking, they were actually quite tasty. The place is not cheap but not super high-end either, making it easy to enjoy. Mustard, sauce, curry sauce, soy sauce, and salt are all provided, with a recommendation on which to use, but I ended up using salt the most. The clam skewer stood out to me as something unique. They also served mozuku vinegar as a palate cleanser and a small green tea ice cream at the end. If you want to dip the vegetable sticks in homemade mayonnaise, it's an additional 100 yen.

I visited after 7 pm and was able to enter without waiting. The first skewer came out quickly. Different skewers kept coming out, and it was helpful to be told which one goes well with which sauce. There was also a solo customer. Each skewer costs 200 yen plus a 500 yen seating charge. Many people ended their meal with ochazuke.

Located on the 2nd floor of Tokyo Midtown Hibiya, this counter-only restaurant offers a calm and sophisticated atmosphere where you can watch the chef carefully fry seasonal seafood and mountain delicacies right in front of you. During my visit at lunchtime, I ordered the "Kushikatsu Lunch (1400 yen)." The lunch menu only includes kushikatsu. The set consisted of 7 types of kushikatsu (shrimp with shiso, fillet, roast beef, asparagus, sweet potato, smelt, quail, and banana), fresh vegetables, miso soup, pickles, and rice. All the kushikatsu were delicious, but the fresh and sweet asparagus and the tender smelt were exceptional. The dessert kushikatsu, banana, was a unique experience - crispy on the outside and creamy banana filling on the inside, which was delightful.

My husband and I both love Tatsukichi, especially the main store in Shinjuku Sanchome, where we have been regular customers for some time. We also visit this Midtown Hibiya store when we are in the Ginza area. On this day, we used this store after watching a movie at TOHO Cinemas in Midtown Hibiya. This store is still new and has a chic atmosphere, making it a great spot for a date. Unlike the Shinjuku Sanchome store, the Hibiya store is open for lunch and dinner, and you can make reservations in advance. On this day, we had 13 skewers in total, starting with 6 omakase skewers and then ordering from the a la carte menu. Each skewer was delicious, but my personal favorites are the konbu with roe, the Shihoro black beef, the green asparagus wrapped in pork, the salmon with salmon roe, the crab claw, the shrimp and avocado, and the mushroom and cheese with curry sauce. We usually start with omakase skewers and then switch to the a la carte menu. The a la carte menu changes seasonally, offering seasonal and dessert options. As of this day, all skewers at Tatsukichi were priced at a flat rate of 200 yen each. There is also a set fee of 500 yen per person, which includes free refills of vegetables, a vinegar seaweed salad, and a small ice cream dessert. The seasonal skewers we enjoyed on this day were the conger eel with shiso, the sweetfish, and the meat roll with myoga.

We visited the restaurant for lunch with two people. The lunch course is cheap and even the additional skewers are reasonably priced, so the cost performance is great. The Shinjuku location is always crowded, so it's hard to go, but I like the Hibiya Midtown location because the interior is clean.

I often go to the Shinjuku Tachibana store, but this time I visited the Hibiya store for the first time. I went right after the opening of Midtown, so I was able to get in without waiting in line. I ordered the lunch set for 1,400 yen, which came with rice, miso soup, fresh vegetables, and 7 skewers. Additional skewers were 200 yen each. The skewers that came with the lunch were shrimp with shiso, pork tenderloin, asparagus, sweet potato, quail egg, beef, and kisu, and I think there was also a banana dessert skewer included (I'm not sure). I ordered additional skewers and ate a lot, but it was more affordable than the main store. You can have unlimited rice refills. Since there is often a long wait at the Shinjuku store, I think the Hibiya store is a good alternative. The bamboo shoot wrapped in meat was the most delicious this time.

This shop's perception of being expensive or cheap depends on the individual. The taste is very delicious, and the staff provide guidance on the flavors, which is satisfying. Located in Midtown, the shop is very clean and attracts a good clientele. The skewers come out one after another, making it a good place for serious eaters. However, it may not be suitable for those who want to talk a lot while eating. Reservations are accepted.

When in the mood for eating kushikatsu, the usual choices that come to mind are Tatsuichi, Tenyawanya, and Hanazume. This time, when I called Shinjuku Tatsuichi, I was told there was a daunting wait of 1.5 hours, so I decided to go here instead. The location is on the 2nd floor of Hibiya Midtown, where various famous sushi restaurants and high-end Italian restaurants are situated. We were the second group in line, but we were promptly seated and didn't have to wait more than 3 minutes. It was around 6:30 pm. Surprisingly, we were seated at the same table as last time, with a different fryer this time. The difference in service between the friendly female staff who guided us to our table and the fryer was remarkable. The fryer seemed to be rushing through the job, showing no smiles and providing service that was lackluster. As I watched the frying process, I had a slight feeling of unease that turned out to be true – it was a complete failure. I had always thought that the batter was too thick, but the previous fryers had a skillful way of hiding it, so I never questioned it, especially since the kushikatsu came out crispy and light, making the 200 yen price tag reasonable. However, this time, the fryer barely dipped the ingredients in the batter, resulting in a messy, bald-looking coating. Particularly, the lotus root was terrible. Refer to the 5th image. Can this be called kushikatsu with such a messy coating? It's hard to believe they would serve something in such a state to their guests. I was so hungry that I had planned to eat 30 pieces, but I had to stop at 10 and ended up having ochazuke. The service was consistently poor, and I regretted enduring the wait in the city and wished I had gone to the Shinjuku branch instead. The ochazuke had just the right amount of saltiness, unlike before, so that was good. Considering my fondness for the restaurant and with hopes for the Shinjuku branch, I give a kinder rating. The dishes we had were angel shrimp, beef yam roll, lotus root, squid, Nagoya Cochin, asparagus, new potatoes with mentaiko and chili pepper, salmon and parent-child plum tea ochazuke. My companion had salmon ochazuke. Thank you for the meal.

After watching a movie, all the lunch spots had long lines! We weren't sure if this place was busy because of the curtain, but my husband loves kushikatsu so we decided to check it out, and luckily we were able to get in easily. First, they served a stick salad that you can enjoy with different salts and sauces, which was delicious. They fry each skewer right in front of you, which is nice. The pork tenderloin, shrimp with shiso (absolutely amazing, I want to try making spring rolls with the same ingredients at home!), sweet and fluffy sweet potatoes, perfectly paired quail eggs with soy sauce, impressive asparagus, tender white fish, and finally beef tenderloin made for a very satisfying meal. I'm not a fan of spicy food, but the spiciness of the sauce made with mustard leaves a lingering taste that becomes addictive. The fried banana at the end was a nice touch! Since the main branch is in Shinjuku, I would like to visit the Shinjuku branch as well. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I had lunch at Kushikatsu Shinjuku Tachibana-san. The lunch set included 7 skewers, fresh vegetables, pickles, miso soup, and rice (with free refills). Once seated, the lunch automatically starts. The small dishes included mustard, sweet sauce, regular sauce, soy sauce, and salt. The rice was served lightly, so they suggested getting a refill. The skewers included pork fillet, shrimp with shiso, sweet potato, quail egg, asparagus, roast beef, and onion tartare. They also served sliced banana skewers with whipped cream for dessert. The hot banana skewers were delicious. The restaurant offers a 200 yen discount for showing a company ID during weekday lunches, which I found to be a great service. I believe it's important to value customers, even if their spending is not high. I will definitely visit again soon.
