I went to Kanidouraku in Kawasaki last year. The room was a private room, which made it easy to talk and was nice, but the reception at the checkout wasn't great. Although we didn't have a private room, the space was wide enough for us to talk comfortably. We were able to enjoy our meal slowly, and the timing of the dishes being served was good. I had the set meal with snow crab sashimi, so it was a bit expensive, but it was delicious. Our conversation flowed and we ended up staying for 3 hours. Thank you very much. I would like to try a different branch next time. It's right in front of the A1 exit of Nishi-Shinjuku-Gochome Station, so it might be okay even if it's raining.

I will write it in conclusion. The quality has dropped at the Shinjuku Main Store and Shinjuku Sanchome Store. No matter how many times I come, I think the same thing! I'm not sure if it's because there are only Chinese people... The course and flow are bad, and even if they bring grilled crab and tempura before I finish eating, it gets cold, so I want them to bring it considering the pace at which I am eating a little more!

I have used this place more than 10 times. It's a private room so you can relax and take your time, which is nice. I usually go for the crab shabu-shabu, but today I tried the steamed crab. Also had the reliable crab shell grill, crab pot rice, crab sushi, and more. Unfortunately, my favorite Hanagori is on hold until I finish nursing. Of course, there's only crab here, so it can get a bit boring towards the end, but I crave it about once or twice a month!

There is a shop right next to the A1 exit of Nishi-Shinjuku-Gochome Station on the Toei Oedo Line called Kanidouraku, which I always rely on. My wife loves crabs, so we went there for our grandchild's birthday party. We had the lunch crab set meal "Shisui" for 3,850 yen, which included crab appetizers, assorted crab dishes (crab vinegar, mini salad, mini chawanmushi), crab gratin, crab rice, red miso soup, and pickles. We also ordered crab sushi for 3,300 yen and crab miso shell grilled for 1,870 yen. Crabs are really delicious, and there's no way they can be bad. The crab rice can be enjoyed as it is or with the broth, both ways are delicious. Everything was delicious, but my favorite was the crab sushi. I ate until I was full of crabs. Thank you for the meal.

After the calming of the coronavirus situation, the reservation status is now similar to before the pandemic. Shibuya Koen-dori store, Ginza store, and Shinjuku store were quite full, so I came here instead. The Nishi-Shinjuku 5-chome store is located right above the A1 exit of Nishi-Shinjuku 5-chome Station on the Oedo Line, which is great in terms of location! The taste was delicious as usual, but it was a bit crowded so the service was slightly slow, but it was fine because I was enjoying my drink while waiting! The entrance had a raised seating area and all rooms were private rooms!

Today I was invited by my senior to have lunch at Kani Doraku! It was my first time visiting! Even though it was lunch, we all had some alcohol to go with the crab dishes that were served shortly after we started. The crab dishes at this restaurant are really good. They are easy to eat because they are already cut for you. I tried a variety of dishes, but my favorite was the grilled crab. If I have the chance, I would definitely go back again.

This is a hidden gem among the restaurants at Kani Douraku. You can even get a reservation on the same day. I think Kani Douraku is the only place in the country where you can eat crab all year round. You can choose courses like single hair crab, grilled crab, sashimi, depending on your mood, so it's all about how hungry you are, haha.

On my day off, I felt like eating crab for the first time in a while, so I came here after a long time. It's great to have a crab indulgence place within walking distance from home. Let's go eat crab! We all sang as we walked. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is calming and really cozy. We ordered more than we could eat, but the crab rice dish at the end was exceptional. I had a happy time. Thank you very much. It was delicious.

I visited the restaurant after a long time. I made a same-day reservation, so I thought I might not get a table, but I was able to enter without any issues. The staff was very friendly and escorted me to my seat. The restaurant itself seems very old, but it is well-maintained and clean. The food was delicious, with every dish tasting great. While the quality of food at Kani Doraku can vary depending on the location, this particular restaurant served tasty dishes. However, in terms of value for money, it's not the best... But if you want to eat crab, this place is reliable and I would like to visit again.

I visited Kanimanabu after a long time. My companion really wanted to go, so I knew I had to go soon. The food was delicious. The chawanmushi was especially good, and the crab shabu-shabu was excellent. (For an additional 2000 yen, you can upgrade from crab sukiyaki to crab shabu-shabu, so we did that.) However, the selection of alcohol was a bit lacking. Thank you for the meal.

On this day, I decided to eat crab after a long time and headed to Kanidouraku Nishi-Shinjuku 5-chome branch. I forgot to reserve a private room, but the open space on the first floor was spacious, with plenty of room between tables in a relaxed sunken kotatsu style. I made a reservation for the Maple Course @8,800 (all inclusive). This course allows you to enjoy crab in various ways such as boiled, sashimi, grilled, tempura, and crab rice. The Maple menu includes: - Two types of peeled boiled crab (Snow crab, King crab) - Crab sashimi - Crab chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) - Grilled King crab - Crab tempura - Crab rice - Soup - Pickles - Dessert For drinks, I ordered a bottle of beer (Super Dry) for 715 yen. First, I tried the two types of peeled boiled crab without any vinegar. The King crab was thick and had a firm texture, similar to shrimp. The Snow crab was slender but had a rich crab flavor, allowing you to enjoy the delicate taste of crab. Next was the crab sashimi, made with Snow crab. It was incredibly fresh and had a smooth, melting texture. Very sweet and delicious. After the sashimi, I cooled down with the crab chawanmushi. It had crab meat, shiitake mushrooms, ginkgo nuts, and mitsuba leaves, with a gentle flavor. Then came the grilled King crab. A charcoal grill was placed on the table, and once the shell was charred and bubbly, it was ready to eat. Be careful as it was piping hot. I used the "Hoji Hoji" tool provided by Kanidouraku to extract the meat. Grilling it made the meat firm and bouncy, transforming it into a rich and flavorful crab. The crab tempura included one piece of Snow crab, along with lotus root, shishito pepper, and seaweed. It was delicious, but quite different from regular crab tempura. Lastly, the crab rice arrived, with crab legs and shell included. It took some time to extract all the meat using the Hoji Hoji tool, about 8 minutes in total. The pot was a mess with crab meat everywhere. Despite the mess, I finished two bowls of rice in no time. While extracting the meat, I was served soup and pickles. The soup contained crab, yuba (tofu skin), and fu (wheat gluten), and was decent in taste. For dessert, I chose the matcha Bavarian cream, which was served in a glass with red bean paste on top. It had a creamy and rich matcha flavor. The Maple Course @8,800 provided a good variety of boiled, sashimi, and grilled crab dishes, making it a satisfying meal. However, it seems that this course has been removed from the menu when I checked in March. The service was average, without any particularly attentive gestures.

I went to Kanidouraku and had the high-end course, which was all about crab. Crab sashimi, boiled crab, crab tempura, crab shabu-shabu... I ate so much crab that I got tired of it. (laughs) Maybe it would be better to choose a course that includes crab gratin. Since then, I haven't eaten any more crab. I am very satisfied. Or should I say, there was too much!!

If you really want to eat really delicious food, go to the source. That's a valid point. Tokyo is a city where you can find everything. It's a bit high-class and safe to have a small gathering with elderly relatives. Instead of trendy places, it's better to go for something simple yet with a touch of luxury, like Kanidouraku. It's been the same since childhood. They understand their purpose and position well. Everything except for the dessert ice cream is all about crab. We added some sashimi and crab gratin to the course. My wife doesn't eat raw shellfish (she doesn't like the sweetness), so she grilled the crab sashimi along with the Taraba crab over charcoal. The crab was cut into easy-to-eat pieces, and the service in the private room was excellent. Although there are no outstanding unique features, it's a good place to use for special occasions. Thank you for the meal!

This is my second time at Kanidouraku here. It's been a while since I last came, but it's easy to go even on the day of. Despite not having a reservation, maybe because of the atmosphere, this branch is quite accessible! And it's not too noisy, which is nice. The Kanidouraku near Shinjuku Station is usually crowded and lively, so I think this is a hidden gem! The crab shabu-shabu is delicious! (^_^)

I finally went to Kani Doraku, a restaurant I've always wanted to visit! Since my Tabelog points were expiring at the end of this month, I decided to use them to enjoy a luxurious crab full course meal. I ordered the 7000 yen course with crab sashimi, and every dish was incredibly delicious! The crab sashimi had such tender meat, the crab tempura was rich and tasty, the main dish with crab legs was so flavorful and filling, and the crab rice soup had a delicious broth. From start to finish, every dish was amazingly delicious, and I had a truly happy time! I would love to come back to eat here again!

Stable crab. I ordered a course and enjoyed it thoroughly. I compared and enjoyed eating hairy crab, snow crab, and king crab, steamed crab, sashimi, and grilled crab. I have tried various crabs in Sapporo with my relatives, but all of them had a consistent taste. It wasn't the most delicious I've ever had, but each one had the deliciousness I was hoping for. It was the first day of the state of emergency, but since it's mostly private rooms and for family use, it was not a problem at all. I had some reservations about the Shibuya and Shinjuku main stores, so I chose this store.

I had a little celebration over the weekend, even though I'm not getting any younger (lol). My partner treated me to a crab feast. We had a lunch course, and I even ordered some crab tempura and sushi rolls on top of that. The sashimi was delicious, and the tempura was tasty too. I was completely satisfied with the crab course from start to finish. I wish I could have eaten more of the sushi rolls though! The restaurant had a social atmosphere, with a seat available, which made me feel at ease. I definitely want to go back to eat there again. Many thanks to my partner for the treat! Thank you for the meal!

[2020.3.29] On the birthday of a loved one, we headed to Kani Doraku wondering if it would be safe in a private room during the coronavirus. Since my daughter, who will be in the second grade in April, can now eat a lot, we ordered one course meal per person. Crabs are expensive in supermarkets and online. Although Kani Doraku offers good value for crab, the drinks are expensive. We have been here 4 or 5 times, but the service is not very friendly. Since it was a special person's birthday, I didn't mention that and made an effort to just enjoy the delicious food. Just being able to eat crab makes me happy. Despite writing complaints, I often go back and still want to go to Kani Doraku. I wish I could live a life of indulgence like that too. ∩^ω^∩

My local favorite, Kani Doraku. I often use this place. Right in front of Nishi-Shinjuku-Gochome Station. It's like a symbol of the station, haha. Although it reigns as a crab kaiseki restaurant, I think it's also a place where you can casually eat crab. Kani Doraku has made crab so easy to eat. I always enjoy it deliciously. Thank you very much.

Colleague gathering at a crab restaurant. We arrived early at 6 PM and the spacious, luxurious restaurant was almost empty. I thought it was due to the recession, but by 7:30 PM, it was almost full. The power of crab is incredible. This was my 15th visit to "Kani Doraku." We had the Taraba course, as I love Taraba crab the most. I can appreciate other types of crab, but I love the rich, flavorful meat of Taraba. We had Taraba crab vinegar, sashimi, gratin, charcoal-grilled, tempura, and sushi. My favorites were the charcoal-grilled and tempura. The sweetness intensified by grilling and the plump texture of tempura were fantastic. I always wonder, do we really need gratin? Crab is a luxurious treat, and even though I felt overly full towards the end, I still didn't feel satisfied. But I still want to come back occasionally. Thank you for the meal.
