After watching a movie with my sister, we stopped by for dinner! I've been really into Thai cuisine lately, and since I hadn’t eaten lunch, I indulged in a hearty meal (laughs). - **Soft Shell Crab Curry Stir-fry**: This dish featured whole soft shell crab, accompanied by curry wrapped in egg. I was skeptical about being able to eat the shell, but it was surprisingly crunchy and tender! - **Thai Street Style Grilled Pork Skewers**: These weren't chicken skewers, but were instead pork. The sauce that came with these was fantastic, and honestly, I wished I could have had more (laughs). There was cabbage on the side, so I recommend eating it together. - **Chef's Special Pad Krapow Rice**: I've been enjoying this particular Thai dish a lot lately, and I ordered it. The shrimp chips that came with it were surprisingly tasty. The Pad Krapow itself had a rich flavor that really paired well with the Thai rice. To my surprise, I ended up with more Pad Krapow left over than rice (laughs). It was delicious when combined with the cabbage from the pork skewers. - **Khao Man Gai**: This is a familiar dish even in Japan, and I eat it often. I love the sauce for Khao Man Gai, and this restaurant's sauce was delicious! It had a flavor that was close to the authentic version, and the meat was tender and juicy. The rice soaked up the sauce, making it so delicious! This dish was also quite filling. - **Tom Yum Ramen**: My sister really wanted to try this, so we ordered it. I realized I hadn't had Tom Yum much before, so I was curious about the flavor. Wow, the soup had a taste and aroma that’s definitely not something you find in Japan! It was a luxurious ramen filled with plenty of vegetables and seafood. - **Mochi Mango Snow Ice**: This dessert immediately caught my eye with its cute mint garnish! It was loaded with mango pieces, and there was even mango beneath the chewy rice cake. For mango lovers, it was a heavenly treat! You could either wrap it up and eat it or enjoy just the mango. - **Mango and Sticky Rice Parfait**: The parfait was adorable, but when I scooped in with my spoon, I felt a heavy texture… I discovered a lot of sticky rice! It’s a sticky rice parfait, so of course, it has rice in it, but it was really rice!!! The chewy texture of the rice combined with the soft mango chunks created a fascinating sensation. The sweetness was just right, allowing me to enjoy it without getting bored. - **Singha Beer**: I wanted to enjoy a local beer with my toast. It was my first time trying it, and I was surprised that the first sip made me question if it was even beer due to its lack of bitterness. It had a slight spiciness, yet there was also a fruity sweetness and freshness. - **Emerald Phuket (Cocktail)**: My sister ordered this, and it was bright green! (laughs) It truly was an emerald-colored cocktail, with pineapple and yogurt flavors dominating the sweet drink. - **Fruity Tea**: I ordered this believing it was cheaper if you got it with dessert. I chose a berry flavor, and it had a lot of fruit chunks in it, making for a refreshing tea. The total bill was just under 10,000 yen. Considering we had drinks, a hearty meal, and dessert, I think it was a great deal. We came in really hungry for dinner, but you could easily enjoy a meal for around 1,000 yen at lunchtime, making it a great spot to hit up. We enjoyed authentic Thai cuisine, the restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere, and the staff were very attentive and kind!

There is a Thai restaurant located in the back on the fourth floor of the Toranomon Hills Station Tower. I was able to walk in without a reservation, but I soon realized the place was full. The draft beer had a perfect foam. They also had a beer that seemed to be from Thailand. I shared various dishes with my companion, and we were both satisfied with the portion sizes and flavors. The staff were also very quick and attentive. Thank you for the meal!

I ordered pho and coconut ice cream. I was really hungry, so I thought I’d find somewhere to eat, and then I remembered that Thai food can be spicy. Since I'm not good with spicy food, I felt a bit nervous... But I was relieved to see that there were chili pepper symbols indicating how spicy the dishes were! It was my first time trying pho, and it had a unique texture; it didn't feel like somen or udon... I could really taste the seafood in it. The garlic flavor was strong, so those who dislike it might not enjoy it. The coconut ice cream was delicious and felt like it reset my mouth! The staff also provided polite service.

I enjoyed the "Char Siu Mixed Noodles" again, just like last time. The default is Chinese noodles, but I was able to switch to rice noodles at no extra charge. The sweet and savory soy sauce-based sauce really stimulated my appetite, and I finished it all at once without realizing I could change the flavors with the condiments.

I visited after having a meal, just to have a quick drink. I arrived 30 minutes before last order. There was one other group of customers. The interior is very casual. The staff, possibly from Thailand, were also very laid-back. It's different from the usual bustling Thai restaurants. While opinions may vary, I prefer a more authentically Thai atmosphere. It's great that the place is clean. Their laab is really to my taste.

I often go to this place for lunch. It's delicious, and the food comes out quickly. The crispy chicken and tom yum soup are both tasty! However, I do think it's a bit expensive. When I add the soup, it goes over 1800 yen. I'm usually quite forgiving about lunch prices, but I feel like this one is just a little too high. It might be the location that's driving the cost up. Still, I keep coming back because I really like the taste and how easy it is to get a lunch here! I just wish the prices were a bit more reasonable. I wonder if they offer any coupons.

Toranomon Hills Station Tower is directly connected to Toranomon Station, so after exiting the ticket gate, you just turn right and take the escalator up to the 4th floor. The tower hosts a selection of restaurants, and you can't go wrong with any of them—it's a fun place to visit! Also, like many office buildings, it's a bit of a hidden gem, as you can easily get in even on weekends. When I asked for recommendations, I was told to try the soft-shell crab curry stir-fry, so I ordered that along with sticky rice. I also got yum woon sen, shrimp katsu, pad thai, and for drinks, I chose coconut juice and mango juice. The soft-shell crab was tender, and the egg curry was fluffy and slightly sweet, which I enjoyed over the sticky rice. It’s great to see the two chefs in the glass-walled kitchen showcasing their vibrant cooking skills. The window seat offers a view of the atrium below. The dishes were delicate, not overly spicy, and elegantly delicious! The presentation and tableware were stylish, and there were quite a few female customers. The lunch menu looked appealing too, so I’ll definitely have to return. Afterwards, I went to see Perfume at TOKYONODE, taking the elevators up to the 45th floor, where the night view was amazing!

We used this restaurant for a company gathering. The meal course was priced at 3,000 yen, and the all-you-can-drink option was 2,000 yen, making it very affordable. Everyone was extremely satisfied. The drink plan included unique options like coconut juice and cilantro lemon cocktails, and the food was delicious. I highly recommend it.

What I ordered this time was: - Green Curry Lunch (1,430 yen) with Crispy Chicken Lettuce Wrap and Lemon Sauce - Pad Thai Lunch (1,430 yen) with Crispy Chicken Lettuce Wrap and Lemon Sauce - Mango Ice Cream (220 yen) - Coconut Ice Cream (220 yen) - Tom Kha Gai Small (330 yen) - Tom Yum Kung Small (330 yen) What especially impressed me was the "Tom Kha Gai" and the "Coconut Ice Cream." Tom Kha Gai features familiar Thai ingredients such as cilantro, kaffir lime leaves, fish sauce, lime, and chili, and it's a very easy-to-eat dish because it has a mild coconut milk soup. The main ingredient in "Tom Kha Gai" is chicken. Additionally, the coconut milk ice cream allowed me to fully enjoy the taste of coconut milk, and it was incredibly delicious.

In this area, everything was expensive except for this restaurant and the ramen shop. I ended up choosing a Thai restaurant by process of elimination, but it turned out to be delicious. I ordered the gapao rice, which cost 1200 yen. It paired really well with fish sauce. However, the portion was a bit small, so I should have ordered some side dishes as well.

I enjoyed a relaxing time with a friend I hadn't seen in a while at a Thai restaurant. We were seated at a table by the window with a great view, which made for a pleasant atmosphere. My friend ordered green curry, while I had pad Thai. The pad Thai was a bit sweeter than the authentic Thai version, but it was definitely tasty. At the start, we were served crispy chicken to wrap in lettuce, but I would have appreciated the option to choose soup instead (soup can be added for an extra 300 yen). The staff were nice, and it was a very comfortable place overall.

I visited Sconta Toranomon Hills located on the 4th floor of the Toranomon Hills Station Tower in Minato-ku, Tokyo. It is about a 1-minute walk from Toranomon Hills Station, making it easily accessible by public transportation. Although there is no parking available, there are coin parking facilities nearby, making it convenient for those driving. The restaurant has 46 seats. I enjoyed the Green Curry Lunch (1,300 yen), which features exquisite green curry from Sconta and includes crispy chicken lettuce wraps with lemon sauce. The emphasis on spices made it truly delicious. Sconta is a restaurant certified by the Ministry of Commerce of the Kingdom of Thailand, offering authentic Thai cuisine. You can savor genuine Thai dishes prepared by Thai chefs who have trained rigorously. The menu includes a wide variety of options, such as green curry, Khao Man Gai, and Tom Yum Goong. I would love to visit again when I have the chance. Thank you!

I visited Sukontar in the evening. While many restaurants have seen price increases lately, this place is relatively affordable. I ordered the dry mixed noodles and a seafood salad. The seafood salad was spicy and delicious, packed with seafood—definitely one of the tastiest salads I've had. The dry mixed noodles were my first time trying them. They had thin slices of pork resembling char siu, topped with sauce, green vegetables, and egg noodles. The pork had a surprisingly sweet flavor, which I wasn't expecting, so I ended up adding some fish sauce. The noodles themselves were tasty, but because I used too much fish sauce, I couldn't quite tell if the dish was sweet or salty anymore. Next time, I'll play it safe and try the Khao Soi. Thank you for the meal!

Located directly connected to Ginza Line's Toranomon Station and Hibiya Line's Toranomon Hills Station, the restaurant is on the 4th floor of the Toranomon Station Building. They offer a popular course filled with delicious dishes for 3,300 yen. Here’s what’s included: - **Two types of fresh spring rolls with shrimp and salmon (Poh Pia Sot)**: These rolls are packed with plump shrimp, salmon, and vegetables, wrapped in thick, chewy rice paper. The sweet and slightly spicy chili sauce pairs perfectly with them, and I ended up using it throughout the meal. - **Thick shrimp crackers**: There was a generous amount, perfect for sharing with a friend. They weren't greasy at all and had a light shrimp flavor. They were enjoyable to eat with various side dishes. - **Seafood glass noodle salad (Yam Woon Sen)**: The light dressing was fantastic – sweet with mild acidity, complemented by plump shrimp. The cilantro and celery added the finishing touch to this dish. - **Thai-style crispy chicken (Gai Tod)**: I forgot to take a picture and realized it too late. The chicken was dry, but the skin was wonderfully crispy from being fried to perfection. - **Stir-fried water spinach with oyster sauce**: The water spinach was crunchy and delicious. Unlike bok choy, it didn’t have a bitter taste, and the seasoning was just right. - **Tom Yum Goong**: Served in a small bowl, I was getting full at this point, but the soup was light and had a good Tom Yum flavor, with lots of juicy shrimp included. - **Chef’s special Pad Thai**: This was light yet flavorful, with smooth noodles and large shrimp. Even though I was full, I couldn’t stop eating it. However, I felt that I was nearing my limit, likely because I had downed two bottles of beer. - **Dessert of the day**: You could choose between mango or coconut ice cream. I went with mango. Even though I was stuffed, the cold, rich mango ice cream was refreshing and soothing. The restaurant had spacious tables and comfortable seating, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The staff provided excellent service, making me feel at home. I enjoyed half-price Thai beers (Singha and Chang) while savoring the course meal. The amount was enough for two people to share comfortably. I couldn't finish everything, so I ended up leaving a little bit of the Pad Thai and two shrimp crackers behind, apologizing for it. The staff responded with smiles, saying it was no problem, and encouraged me to enjoy my dessert. Ethnic cuisine is hard to tackle alone, so I plan to visit again with my coworkers next time. Overall, it was a delicious meal and a great experience.

I saw a menu item called "Seafood Gapao Rice (Secret Menu)," which is limited to only 10 servings a day, prominently displayed. I quickly ordered it. Since it was limited to 10 servings, I was a bit worried about whether it would still be available, but it was! The flavor was quite authentic, in my opinion.

This was my first time at Toranomon Hills. I went for lunch with a senior colleague and even though I don't know much about Thai cuisine, the Tom Yum soup set was incredibly delicious. I'm not a fan of cilantro, but I was able to eat it without any issues. The fried chicken that came out first was also tasty, and the limited 10 servings of Gapao were delicious as well. I was completely satisfied!

Since I was near Toranomon Hills, I decided to have lunch and explored some nearby restaurants. I remembered that I wanted to have Khao Man Gai, so I went to this place. I'm not good with spicy food, but I do like Thai cuisine. I ordered the Khao Man Gai lunch set and added Tom Kha Gai, and the Tom Yum Kung lunch set with Green Curry. For the appetizer, they served crispy chicken wrapped in lettuce with a dipping sauce, which was delicious. The Khao Man Gai was more substantial than I expected, and mixing it with Thai rice made it really tasty. I added the Tom Kha Gai soup, which I love and even make at home; it was packed with mushrooms and very enjoyable. The Tom Yum Kung was tasty as well, though it was just average. I tried a bit of the Green Curry, which was really good and went well with rice. I've been to other branches and tried different dishes there, and I was able to enjoy delicious Thai food at this restaurant as well.

I crave Thai food. I crave Thai food. Like a silly child, I constantly search for Thai food day by day. Once I get hooked, I indulge until I get bored, then suddenly realize and calm down a bit. During the cold season, I was all about European-style curry. I relentlessly sought after European-style curry. Hmmm? But maybe my Thai food craze has been ongoing. In this subtropical Japan, spicy! Sour! Delicious! Thai and Vietnamese dishes are the best. I've persistently written on sites like Tabelog about my obsession with Seven-Eleven's Yum Woon Sen. The other day, I excitedly asked the chubby, marshmallow-bodied gentleman at my neighborhood Seven-Eleven, wearing a name tag, “How long will you be selling this?” He seemed quite taken aback. Seriously, Seven-Eleven’s Yum Woon Sen is incredibly tasty. If they end sales this summer, I might feel compelled to send a complaint email to Seven-Eleven. No, I wouldn’t do that, but I kind of want to send them an email saying, “Please keep it in stock!” Yum Woon Sen is typically enjoyed hot in Thailand, but I prefer it ice-cold. Now, let’s talk about a Thai restaurant named Skontar. Before, when I stayed at a ryokan in Toba with my parents in Nara, I thought about grabbing something delicious for lunch while transferring at Nagoya station! That place, I realized, had unexpectedly opened in Tokyo after I had a lovely lunch with my dear Eiko at the neighboring Italian restaurant! I finally got to visit it with my friend for dinner. I’ve been dying to try the soft-shell crab curry stir-fry! I also wanted Yum Woon Sen, shrimp toast, and fresh spring rolls, depending on how full I felt. To drink, I ordered cold jasmine tea. First up, Yum Woon Sen! The fancy dish was hard to share, but it was packed with nuts and absolutely delicious. My friend dislikes wood ear mushrooms, so I gobbled those up. The dish presentation could use some improvement! But Skontar's Yum Woon Sen is a must-try!! Delicious! The shrimp toast was great too! Fresh spring rolls were tightly rolled but still tasty. The soft-shell crab curry stir-fry was really good! It had barely any spiciness. I thought about adding rice but didn’t end up needing it since I drizzled the sauce over the soft-shell crab. The soft-shell crab was tasty, but I didn’t quite feel the crab flavor. I’d be satisfied even with just the fluffy egg curry stir-fry. Sorry for my unrefined taste! I could eat more, but my friend had to call it quits! Well, we were heading to indulge in dessert at a second stop. We left very satisfied, with each of us spending about 3,000 yen. Just two people who don’t drink got in and out quickly. I want to come for lunch too! Ah, Thai food is so delicious... I’m really happy... I could eat so much! That day, I walked from around Kabukiza in Higashi-Ginza to Toranomon Hills Station Tower, totaling about 18,000 steps since morning. However, my appetite has been strong, and I’ve been steadily gaining weight. Now it’s Saturday evening. I woke up slowly at 8, did laundry, prepared lunch, and then had a wonderful yoga session! After my relaxing yoga, I went back home for an afternoon meal, then walked in the scorching heat to buy groceries with my husband. After that, we walked to the library. Before heading out, I asked my husband if there was anything he wanted for dinner. He hadn’t stepped outside all day and had devoured a whole rice serving for lunch, so I expected a light dinner response, but to my surprise, he said, “I want to eat Ni Hao Fried Rice!” Wow, his appetite is impressive! My husband's birthday is in the fall, and when I asked him if we could still handle buffet-style meals, he replied, “I can totally manage, a buffet lunch would be great.” He’s seven years older than me but has an amazing appetite. Seriously, he’s impressive...

It's been a while since I've dined out at night! Lately, it's been all about work or travel. Going out with someone on a weekday night feels like a rare occasion. It's been over 10 years since I returned to Toranomon. Back then, when it had just moved from Shinbashi, Toranomon seemed like there was nothing here. We joked about checking if we could sneak into the government cafeterias. But now, thanks to Toranomon Hills, I think there are some really nice places opening up. The only downside is that it's a bit far from my office; it's not within walking distance for lunch anymore. I might have walked here not too long ago, but in the last couple of years, I’ve gotten quite unaccustomed to walking. So this time, we went to S컨타 (Sukonta). There are several delicious Thai restaurants around, but I was particularly interested in this one, as I heard that it originated in Nagoya and was making its Tokyo debut. This building is a bit interesting because it seems you can order from any restaurant while sitting at tables in a hallway-like corridor. However, we reserved a table here specifically. Compared to other places, it seemed a bit less crowded. It seems to be a Friday night characteristic that any place that looks like a bar is packed. As I left the office, I noticed several people gathering in the lobby, likely waiting to meet up. We didn’t specify a course and just ordered what caught our eye. My partner wanted Yum Woon Sen (Thai noodle salad) and crab egg curry, and I added shrimp toast and fresh spring rolls. I asked about whether to include rice with the curry, but in the end, we decided against it. If we felt it wasn’t enough, I thought we could order Pad Thai. But honestly, everything we ordered was quite filling. The Yum Woon Sen (which I can never seem to type correctly on the first try) was the cold type. It had a subtle sweetness with a decent acidity. The spiciness wasn’t too strong, and the onions and cilantro provided a nice touch. I would prefer it without the wood ear mushrooms. As for the shrimp toast, I prefer the thin, crispy kind, but this one was more fluffy, which left me feeling a bit full. The crab and egg curry was delicious! Not having rice was the right choice; the crab was flavorful enough on its own. Honestly, the curry (which wasn’t spicy) was so good that it overshadowed the crab. Asian desserts often tend to be underwhelming, but this place had a good variety. However, since neither of us drinks, we decided that if we ordered dessert here, our gathering would be over in an hour. It was still early in the evening on a Friday night. While everyone else was enjoying their time, we quickly filled up like we had just eaten a set meal and headed over to Jonathan's (*´∀｀).

I visited on a weekday at 1:20 PM, and about 80% of the seats were filled. I ordered the gapao rice lunch (1,300 yen) and added tom yum kung soup (300 yen). The crispy chicken lettuce wraps came with lemon sauce. The tom yum kung soup was rich, and the gapao rice, while served on a small plate, had more volume than it looked. The crispy chicken was great as a snack. There was a constant sound of dishes and utensils being washed, which made it hard to relax. By the time I finished eating, it had become quiet, and I could hear the music.

I visited Toranomon Hills Station for the first time last autumn. It was a Sunday, and since many popular restaurants had long lines, I decided to try this place instead. They had about six different lunch sets, and I ordered the green curry set. The crispy chicken was served on a separate plate, and the curry was filled with plenty of ingredients like chicken, eggplant, and bamboo shoots, with a large serving of rice. I was completely full! They also have a night course for 3,000 yen, which seems like a good deal. Next time, I'll go for dinner!
