It’s delicious, so I came back for more. This is a tasty place that I recommend to many of my Korean friends. Of course, the monjayaki is great, but the side dishes are also delicious. I ordered the gizzard twice! The deluxe seafood chanko includes shrimp, scallops, squid, and clams, and they even top it off with roe. It’s truly delicious, and I ate a lot of it, but this time I also ordered the cheesy rice cake with mentaiko. I love both! The first time I came, I asked the staff to make it for me, but this time I made it myself. Making it myself was fun, and it was really great!

At "Ryogoku Dashi Monja Monji Shinjuku Nishi-Guchi Palette," you can enjoy authentic monja made with a commitment to three types of dashi. A must-try menu item for monja lunch is the "Deluxe Seafood Monja," which features a rich and refreshing salt chanko dashi originating from Ryogoku, loaded with luxurious seafood ingredients like shrimp, squid, and clams, topped off with ikura for an extravagant touch. Last time, I made monja after a long time, so this time I confidently formed a dough ring and poured the dashi in the center. After a while, a crispy edge formed, filling the air with a delightful aroma. When you press it down with a spatula and eat it, the umami of the seafood and the dashi bursts in your mouth. Of course, there are plenty of tasty side dishes as well, like Caprese, ajillo, squid ink fried rice, and delicious grilled potato salad. There’s an entertaining aspect to cooking your own food, making for a fun dining experience. ✨ Some examples of the monja include: - Deluxe Seafood Chanko Monja (2,189 yen) - Mentaiko Mochi Cheese Monja (1,529 yen) The restaurant is conveniently located right outside the west exit of Shinjuku station in a building that houses Uniqlo. ✨ @chimney_corp.official Ryogoku Dashi Monja Monji Shinjuku Nishi-Guchi Palette Shop, 1-1-1 Nishi-Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, 5F Shinjuku Palette, Shinjuku West Exit Hall #ShinjukuGourmet #ShinjukuDinner #ShinjukuIzakaya #Monjayaki #Monja #MonjaLovers #Teppanyaki #TeppanyakiLunch #TeppanyakiRestaurant #SeafoodMonja #DeliciousDashi #SquidInk #FriedRice #Ajillo #PotatoSalad #PotatoSaladClub #MakeItYourself #Caprese

On this day, a group of five close friends had a year-end party (^^). We enjoyed two types of monjayaki (a Japanese savory pancake) along with butter-grilled scallops and squid, making a total of eight dishes, plus a two-hour all-you-can-drink option for just 4,000 yen — what a great deal! For the select monjayaki, we could choose two options from a total of 28, and we went with the "Shiso and Mentaiko Cream Monjayaki" and "Squid Ink Cheese Risotto Monjayaki"! The amazing part is that the staff cooks the monjayaki for you, so you can savor authentic and delicious flavors! I was mesmerized by their skillful flipping! The restaurant’s specialty dashi (broth) for monjayaki includes: - "Three Types of Seafood Dashi" using fish flakes from "Ninben," a renowned katsuobushi (dried fish) shop with 300 years of history. - "Chanko Dashi," which combines the three seafood dashi with a secret chanko broth (Japanese stew). - "Western-Style Creative Dashi," which blends roasted garlic and anchovies, making it exciting and never boring! In addition to the monjayaki, we also enjoyed the butter-grilled scallops and squid, okonomiyaki, garlic fried rice, which made for a hearty course! The all-you-can-drink sour cocktails were absolutely adorable (^ ^). I definitely want to visit again! ▷▷Order: Popular No.1 // 【Full Course】 + 2-hour all-you-can-drink for 4,000 yen - Garlic Edamame - Butter-Grilled Scallops and Squid - Half-Cooked Okonomiyaki - Select Monjayaki (2 types) - Buta-tama (Pork Okonomiyaki) - Chicken Garlic Fried Rice - Vanilla Ice Cream ------------------------------------------- Thank you for reading this review!

There are so many types of monjayaki that I’m having a hard time deciding, but the must-try is definitely the mentaiko mochi cheese! With the addition of mochi and cheese, it creates a wonderful creamy texture, and the saltiness from the cheese and mentaiko is just irresistible! The deluxe seafood monjayaki is luxurious with ingredients like shrimp, scallops, and clams, and even includes roe, making for a generous portion that’s not only delicious but also very filling! The crab miso cream was great too, with shiso leaves adding a lovely fragrance. I had all the monjayaki prepared by the staff, and there was one male staff member whose skillful technique was truly impressive! Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I went for the first time, and it has become one of the places I want to revisit. The monjayaki was especially amazing! There is no other place with such great cost-performance. I definitely want to go again! The service was also good, and the atmosphere was nice. Thank you!

I had a lot of delicious food like sunagimo with ponzu, squid ink monja, baby star monja, carbonara monja, and okonomiyaki. It was at Moheji in Shibuya. The place was clean, and I was able to make a reservation easily, so I was very satisfied. The staff's service was also great! ☺️

I went around 4 PM on a weekday, and I was able to get in right away! There was a wide variety of creative monja dishes, and they were delicious! Both the monja and the okonomiyaki were filling and tasty! The monja is made on the hot plate from the start, but for the okonomiyaki, only the finishing touches were done on the hot plate. At first, I thought, "Aren't they going to make it here?" but once it came out, the okonomiyaki had a fluffy texture and was really delicious. It's definitely tastier than what I could make myself! On weekdays during lunch, there’s an all-you-can-eat option with coupons that makes it a great deal, so I’d love to go again!

I visited the restaurant on a Friday night. It seems to have opened in December last year, and the interior is nice and clean. I was happy to see that the appetizer was a whole shrimp. The serving time was quick, and they even cooked the monjayaki for us. There are many different types of monjayaki, all of which piqued my curiosity, and they were all delicious.

It was a restaurant with an incredibly wide variety of monjayaki. They had three types of broth! It seems like you could come here multiple times without getting bored. On weekends during lunch, it was not crowded, and it seemed fine to come without a reservation. The food was served a bit slowly, but the okonomiyaki was brought to the table already cooked, and it was incredibly delicious! It was fluffy and had a rich broth flavor. Since it was my first time having monjayaki, I ordered the classic combination of mentai, mochi, and cheese. You can request them to cook it for you, and it was interesting how different staff members had different ways of doing it. The side dish, tomapaccho, consisted of sweet and sour radish and tomato topped with ginger, which was great for refreshing the palate. I definitely want to go back! Thank you for the meal!

Suddenly, I had a craving for monjayaki, so I visited with a friend. The staff member was very friendly and worked efficiently. The food was neither particularly good nor bad. I realized that I'm not knowledgeable enough about monjayaki to really judge its quality…

I ordered seafood monjayaki and mentaiko cheese monjayaki. The seafood monjayaki was very flavorful with a rich dashi taste and was delicious. The mentaiko cheese is a classic and also tasty. The staff made it for me, and they were very friendly. I ordered a non-alcoholic drink, and it was tasty as well.

I ordered two types of monjayaki: curry beef tendon with mochi and dashi monjayaki, along with a senzuri modan-yaki. I really enjoyed it, and I was very satisfied with my meal. Just a note on cooking: keep an eye on the iron plate temperature. If you want it crispy, make sure it's hot!

Toilet rating: 4.0, separate for men and women. There are 2 women's restrooms, equipped with washlets and a well-stocked handwashing area with cotton swabs and toothpicks. The delicious dashi-based monjayaki dishes were abundant and all were tasty. It's directly connected to the station and has an unexpected level of cleanliness for a monjayaki restaurant, along with spacious seating. I would love to visit again.

I suddenly craved monja and found this restaurant in Shinjuku, where I went for the first time. I ordered the Mentai Mochi Cheese Monja and the Seafood Chanko Monja. I was looking forward to just waiting without making it myself, but the staff asked if they could make it for me as a service, so I let them. The mentai one was delicious, just as I had hoped. Thanks to the mochi and cheese, the grilling was perfect. The seafood one had a tasty dashi flavor, but it was a bit too runny. The restaurant was clean and had a nice atmosphere.

It’s about a 3-minute walk from the west exit of Shinjuku Station. The restaurant is located in a building that houses UNIQLO. (Since the elevators can take some time, I recommend arriving a bit early if you have a reservation during busy hours.) ◆ Almond Lemonade (Yokozuna size) – a 1-liter mug!! It’s blue and quite surprising!! It truly tastes like almond tofu in drink form. ◆ Ginger Calpis (Yokozuna size) ◆ It's perfect as a side dish with Kappaccho Monjayaki. It’s refreshing! ◆ Deluxe Seafood Chanko Monjayaki – this is one of their flagship dishes and features a rare chanko broth. You’ll be amazed; it really tastes like chanko nabe. It’s packed with seafood and is extremely delicious! ◆ Triple Cheese Monjayaki – a Shinjuku store exclusive. It’s more of a cheese bake than traditional monjayaki. A must-try for cheese lovers! It pairs well with drinks. ◆ Grilled Hormones ◆ Shaved Ice When the restaurant gets crowded, it can get quite hot inside. The staff cook everything for you, which is really nice.

This restaurant in Shinjuku Palette, known for its monjayaki, stands out among the many monjayaki places I've visited, including those in Tsukishima. The difference lies in their commitment to the broth. I learned for the first time from the staff that they developed their broth in collaboration with Nishinben, a company that's been around for over 100 years. While some places use shrimp broth or even add cream, this restaurant focuses on a classic broth that captures the Japanese heart. The appearance might be unappealing, but the squid ink and cheese monjayaki is the best I've had after trying many places. I was planning to try the classic mentaiko cheese next, but I drank too much and had to give up. They served a single shrimp as an appetizer, which was a pleasant surprise, especially since I had been drinking. Naturally, the staff cooks for you, but I like to consider myself a connoisseur and prefer to cook it myself…

It was my first time trying monjayaki, and I went because a friend recommended it. I was really surprised at how delicious it was! Since it's a dashi monja, the flavor of the broth was incredible. I wondered if I would feel full after eating monjayaki, but there are options like risotto monjayaki, so my friend and I shared one each and felt just the right amount of satisfied. A male staff member cooked for us and kept the atmosphere lively. I'm not very good at socializing, so I didn't really respond, but if you enjoy a vibrant environment, I definitely recommend it!

I had a sudden craving for monjayaki and decided to visit a restaurant, making a reservation for two at 6:30 PM on a weekday. It's located just a short walk from Shinjuku West Exit, on the 5th floor of the Palette Building, which has a Uniqlo on the first floor. The restaurant has a bright, clean, and spacious interior. They offer a variety of toppings for monjayaki, cooked with three types of broth. I ordered the mentai mochi cheese monjayaki made with “Ninben” seafood broth, and the curry corn cheese monjayaki with a bacon topping, made with chanko broth. Typically, the staff will cook the monjayaki for you, so while waiting, I enjoyed some cheese crackers and beer, taking my time to relax. When ordering alcohol, the complimentary appetizer is shrimp, which was also delicious. Overall, I think this restaurant is well-located and very convenient. Thank you for the meal!

Recently popular? Personally, I'm a bit unsure about mobile ordering... When I ordered dishes like monjayaki and okonomiyaki, as well as side menu items, there wasn't enough space to put everything. The clientele seemed to be mostly in their 20s, creating a lively atmosphere. The service felt quite bland and indifferent. I probably won't be returning.

During the Obon holiday, we gathered the kids and their friends for a fun monjayaki party! This time, we decided to visit a highly-rated restaurant known for its authentic monjayaki with a focus on three different types of broth. Here’s what we ordered: From the regular menu: - Deluxe Seafood Chanko Monjayaki (2,365 yen) - Mentaiko Mochi Cheese Monjayaki (1,705 yen) From today's recommendations: - Chicken Chanko (1,409 yen) - Beef Tendon Curry (1,485 yen) And lastly, from the Shinjuku limited menu: - Triple Cheese Monjayaki (1,749 yen) First, we tried the "Famous Monji Specialty: Deluxe Seafood Monjayaki." The Deluxe Seafood Chanko Monjayaki features a light yet rich salt chanko broth originating from Ryogoku, loaded with luxurious seafood ingredients like shrimp, squid, and clams! The kids were super excited about all the seafood included, even before we started eating. Plus, we topped it off with salmon roe, which added a delightful pop and enhanced the seafood flavors, making each bite a truly happy experience. We also couldn’t miss the popular "Mentaiko Mochi Cheese Monjayaki" from the standard menu. The chewy texture of mochi, the rich flavor of cheese, and the spiciness from the mentaiko created an exquisite balance that left the kids very satisfied. Additionally, we tried the "Chicken Chanko" from today’s recommendations. The light yet flavorful broth mixed perfectly with the chicken, providing a hearty meal. We also ordered the aromatic beef tendon curry, which had a strong aroma and flavor that made us keep reaching for more. The "Triple Cheese Monjayaki" from the Shinjuku limited menu was a must-try for cheese lovers. The combination of three types of cheese created a rich and creamy taste that spread across our mouths. The kids, who love cheese, were thrilled, making this dish another big hit! The atmosphere of the restaurant was great, and we enjoyed tasting various flavors while having fun together. As we left, we all talked about wanting to come back again.

It's a hot and melting weekend in Shinjuku, and I've been sweating so much these days that my mineral balance is off. After making a reservation, I quickly head to the restaurant! ◉ Appetizer (350 yen) - One shrimp ◉ Seafood Chanko Monja (1650 yen) ◉ Scallop Tempura (350 yen) ◉ Crispy Peperoncino (390 yen) ◉ Draft Beer (590 yen) ◉ Freshly Squeezed Lemon Sour (580 yen) The restaurant was bustling with families and girl gatherings since it was the weekend. Unlike on weekdays, they served an appetizer of shrimp, which I snacked on while enjoying the seafood chanko monja that I loved from my last visit. I was very satisfied! Thank you for the meal.
