I decided to eat sushi in Shinjuku and went to a highly recommended restaurant. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice, with a good counter. The appetizers, nigiri sushi, tempura, and more nigiri sushi were all delicious! The service from the staff was also attentive and detailed. The surprise dish of turtle chawanmushi was amazing! Thank you for the feast!

I made a reservation a week ago to go to Shinjuku, where some acquaintances are going. "Shinjuku Sushi Yokota" will open on August 1, 2021, a new business style by Yokota, which has won one Michelin star, in Azabu-Juban. It is located in the FS Building, a 5-minute walk from the east exit of Shinjuku Station, with Burger King as a landmark on the basement floor. - Sushi and Yokota's Course: - Course: 13,800 yen - Sake pairing: 19,800 yen - Appetizers: - Cherry shrimp, chijimi spinach, white clam mini bowl with ikura and tobiko - Seared bream from Noto, amberjack - Medium fatty tuna, yellowtail from Oita with scallion - White cuttlefish from the Sea of Japan with vinegar and salt - Sake: "UA Snowman" by Senkin x UNITED ARROWS - Main dishes: - Trout shirako and daikon soup, carabinero shrimp, red azuma - Oita steak shiitake mushroom, mehikari - Bell pepper, hairtail - Dessert: - Pear syrup-pickled syrup, miso soup with namako roll and nameko mushrooms The restaurant starts at 5:00 p.m. with a private reservation for about an hour. You can taste various types of sake while chatting with the head chef. The meal starts with appetizers, followed by a few pieces of sushi, tempura, more sushi, and a unique combination of dishes. It seems challenging to have both a sushi chef and a tempura chef in one place. The sushi is prepared in front of you, with the chef cutting the ingredients and combining them with red vinegar rice. The tempura is cooked in the kitchen and not visible from the counter. The concept is to combine traditional sushi and appetizers with authentic tempura, each made by specialized chefs. However, as more customers arrive, the service may become less attentive, so improvements are needed in that aspect.

We went with my mother to celebrate my grandfather's birthday. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was great, and the staff's smiles were lovely, making my mother and grandfather happy. Every dish was delicious. I would love to go back again! Thank you for the wonderful meal. Thank you very much.

I enjoyed a 17,800 yen course and it was delicious. All the sushi was great, but the highlight was the nigiri with spiny lobster, which was very tasty. The course also came with tempura, so you will definitely leave full. They have a really delicious bottled tea in the soft drink section, so I recommend it for those who don't drink alcohol.

I felt they were quite particular about tempura for a birthday celebration of an important friend. They boast about being Michelin-rated, so I had high expectations, but the service was lacking. I have work experience myself, so I dare say it was at a part-time job level. The effort put into the food was noticeable, but it was disappointing. Well, I suppose it's understandable for Shinjuku at this point in time.

I made a reservation about a week ago and visited the restaurant. With a Michelin star for 8 consecutive years, my expectations were high. Unfortunately, I didn't get a counter seat this time, but I was seated at a private table which was convenient for the occasion. It was my first visit, so I chose the most affordable course which included both sushi and tempura. It was a luxurious experience to be able to enjoy both when you can't decide. The staff, although young, were very attentive and friendly. The sushi and tempura may not be on par with top-tier restaurants, but they were freshly made and delicious. In a time where reservations are hard to come by, the fact that it was easy to book a table was a big plus. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

It's a course meal restaurant. The chef was friendly and we enjoyed the sushi. The ingredients were fresh and very delicious. Especially the blackthroat seaperch and saltwater sea urchin were exceptional. I would like to visit again. Maybe I'll try a different course next time❓

The restaurant boasts about having a Michelin star, but the service seems to be at the level of high school student part-time workers. The building is old and has a noticeable smell. The taste of the food is not bad, but the tempura was a bit disappointing. The price of around 10,000 yen per person is too high.

Indulged in a luxurious sushi lunch from noon♡ Started with seasonal dishes full of seasonal vibes. The hydrangeas were so lovely♡ After enjoying tempura, we had sushi. I never expected to have a relaxing sushi lunch in this bustling area near Kabukicho... haha It was incredibly delicious. Since it's an underground restaurant, there's no cell reception, but they provide Wi-Fi! The head chef was also very kind◡̈

My relatives from overseas wanted to eat delicious Japanese cuisine in Shinjuku, so I found this restaurant with a reputation of winning the Michelin star 8 times in Azabu Juban. It seems that Shinjuku is not related to Michelin. My relatives didn't want just sushi because they felt there were too many raw options, so this course with tempura included was just right. I easily reserved a course of 18 dishes for 9800 yen for 3 people two days in advance. The restaurant is located in the basement of a building. The entrance area was quite dirty, which was a disappointing first impression. I suggest the staff clean it up. I originally wanted a counter table, but I reserved a private room anticipating noisy conversations during our reunion. The partition on the table provided some privacy for our faces, but did not have much soundproofing. The food was delicious and the staff explained everything very politely. The chef even explained the dishes with a lovely smile. The sushi was served twice, and although it looked different from the official website photos, it was delicious. The rice was small and easy to eat. I usually don't like shiny things, but surprisingly they were delicious. The tempura was also tasty, but compared to the sushi, the sushi was better.

【Order】Lunch ¥5800【Recommended for】People who want to enjoy both sushi and tempura at a reasonable price without being disappointed【Different point】You can enjoy both sushi and tempura【Review】This famous restaurant, not only in Shinjuku but also in many other locations, offers considerate and polite service. The speed of service is also excellent. The sushi pieces are small but there are no disappointing ones. The tempura, especially the thick-cut sea bream, pairs well with salt and leaves a lasting impression.

We made a reservation through Tabelog the day before and visited with 2 people at 6:00 PM. The renowned Michelin-starred restaurant "Tenpura Yokota" from Azabu-Juban has opened a branch in Shinjuku. It's easy to make a reservation here, they serve both tempura and sushi, and they have private rooms for discreet conversations. If you're just looking to eat at the counter, you might be better off going to another restaurant. The meal we had was the Yokota Special Sushi Course for 17,800 yen. The drinks were also on the expensive side. Overall, the experience felt a bit lacking and not great value for money. The meal included appetizers, sushi, tempura, steamed dishes, soup, and dessert. The restaurant is located in Shinjuku and has 27 seats, including private rooms for 2, 4, 6, or 8 people. They are open from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM and from 4:00 PM to midnight, with Sunday hours as well. They have irregular closing days and reservations can be made by phone or through Tabelog. The restaurant has a rating of 3.53 on Tabelog as of May 2023.

A restaurant where you can enjoy a course meal with sushi and tempura. Located in Azabu-Juban, "Tenfura Yokota" is a Michelin-listed restaurant in Shinjuku. It is less common to find sushi restaurants in Shinjuku, so this place stands out. It is located less than a 10-minute walk from JR Shinjuku East Exit, closer to Shinjuku Sanchome Station, and within walking distance from Seibu Shinjuku Station. The location is easy to find, and Yokota has other branches besides the Shinjuku store. The interior is new and clean, with good customer service and delicious sushi and tempura. Despite the young clientele in Shinjuku, the atmosphere of the restaurant is not too formal, making it a place where you can enjoy sushi without feeling intimidated. We ordered the sushi and tempura course, and they have a wide variety of sake. The tempura was tastier than at a regular tempura restaurant, and the sushi had the quality you would expect from a sushi restaurant. Overall, a great place to enjoy sushi in Shinjuku.

I went to Shinjuku Sushi Yokota, a recommended restaurant for enjoying seasonal cuisine on dates and special occasions. We ordered the Sushi and Tempura Kaiseki set meal (¥13,800), which includes appetizers, a small bowl of rice, various sushi, special dishes, tempura, a hot dish, steamed egg custard, a second round of sushi, rolled sushi, a soup dish, dessert, and green tea. The menu may vary depending on the season. Lunch prices start from ¥5,800. It is a popular sushi restaurant in Shinjuku with great reviews, and we made a reservation to visit on a special day. The staff's service was polite and welcoming, even with masks on, their smiles were evident. The restaurant has a calm atmosphere, making it comfortable to dine without feeling too formal. The sushi rice was seasoned with red vinegar, and the fish was fresh and delicious, especially the fatty tuna which melted in the mouth. The tempura had a crispy and light batter, with the shrimp being particularly succulent. The second round of sushi and rolled sushi were served after other dishes, and they were also exceptional, leaving us amazed by the flavors. The creative dishes not only tasted great but were also visually appealing, providing an elegant dining experience. If you order alcohol, they will recommend pairings that go well with the food, so it's worth asking for suggestions. Overall, it was a delightful and sophisticated dining experience where we could savor exquisite sushi and creative dishes.

We had lunch with my family on Sunday. The tempura was really delicious, but the sushi was just okay. It seemed like the staff might be part-time workers because even though we tried to get their attention when we entered, they seemed flustered when they finally acknowledged us. Unfortunately, we felt that the prices were a bit high.

The portion size is decent, but honestly, the taste is mediocre. The tempura was delicious, but the sushi was just okay. When I went with a foreigner, I was surprised to hear that there was no English menu. The explanation of the dishes was inconsistent, which made me wonder if they were knowledgeable about their food. We ordered a bottle of wine and beer, and it cost around 20,000 yen per person.

The lunch course consisted of a mix of tempura and sushi. There were 5 tempura dishes with salt, and 5 sushi dishes served in the Edo style. The tempura was average, while the sushi was dry and lacked flavor. The chef was careless, placing the sushi on the plate at an angle and often near the edge. To make matters worse, they forgot to serve the chawanmushi at the end of the course, which had to be inquired about.

I was invited by my dining companions to visit this restaurant on a weekday night. The entrance is located along Yasukuni Street, and you have to go down a flight of stairs to reach the entrance on B1F. There doesn't seem to be an elevator going down to the basement in the building. When I entered the restaurant, a chime rang but there was no one to greet me, so I hesitated whether to go further inside. After waiting for 1-2 minutes, I was able to leave my coat in the back, so it seems okay to go further inside even without being greeted. However, it would be nice to have a staff member greet customers as it is the first impression point. I was seated at the table farthest from the entrance, and there was one other group at the counter and about half of the private rooms were occupied. The atmosphere was lively with a diverse range of customers from office workers to younger people, typical of Shinjuku. The dinner course had four options, each consisting of sushi, tempura, and more sushi, with the price varying based on the number of dishes. I opted for the second-highest course this time. The highlights included half-dried karasumi aged for a year, seared nodoguro from Tsushima, and Toyama white shrimp sushi, all of which were of top quality. Both the sushi and tempura were excellent, but it's rare to find a place that excels at both due to the limited space and kitchen resources. However, for those who are indecisive or have limited time to try both, this restaurant is a good choice. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I visited "Shinjuku Sushi Yokota" for a lunch meeting. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was calm. This time, my friend and I ordered the course meal at the counter. We were satisfied with the contents and thought it was good value for money. However, I think it would be better to clean the cutting board... Thank you for the meal.

Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo. This is the Shinjuku branch of Azabu-Juban's Michelin Guide-listed restaurant "Tenpura Yokota". Opened in August 2021. The nearest stations are Shinjuku Station, Shinjuku Sanchome Station, Seibu Shinjuku Station, Shinjuku Nishiguchi Station, among others. Located on the basement floor of a commercial building along Yasukuni Street. We had a satisfying course meal of sushi and tempura ✧٩(｡•̀ᴗ-)人(-ᴗ´•｡)۶✧Yatta! After a busy business trip back and forth to Yamanashi in December, I treated myself to this place that I had reserved in advance. It was almost full with many customers arriving before and after us at 7 pm on a weekday. There were relatively many young customers, probably due to the location. There were also customers from Western countries. I could see at least 4 staff members. We sat at the counter seats where we could enjoy the craftsmanship of the chefs up close. There are also several private rooms available. The atmosphere was not too formal, and it felt homey (*^ω^) The hot towel had a nice scent of cologne, which was refreshing. I'm not very familiar with it, but it had a pleasant scent, which helped me relax (*´-`) We were handed the drink menu and I ordered the classic sake.

[Drinks] Nabeshima Special Junmai 1300 yenTanshu Special Junmai 1300 yenKudoki Jouzu Bakuren Ginjo Extra Dry 1000 yen*Each serving. Only my selection is mentioned. We started with the appetizer (appetizer), took a bite of the Tosazu vinegar, and had a gulp of Nabeshima♪︎ We entered the world of Japanese cuisine in one go. The visual presentation is beautiful, isn't it (o^-')b! The crunchy texture of the Bai clam, which I rarely eat, was exceptional. Next, we had the steamed dish of crab and lily root. Around that time, the staff showed us a box containing 8 types of fish roe, and we chose 3. The classic soft and rich-flavored ikura, the crunchy golden caviar, and the jet-black hybrid. The sushi rice is placed underneath. Fish roe definitely goes well with vinegared rice d(･∀･`*) Now, it's time for sushi. Starting with a bang with Otoro! The king is indeed delicious♪︎(๑´ڡ`๑) The sushi rice is small and easy to eat. I haven't had Ebi sushi in a while. Next, the other main dish, tempura, was served. I love the Tanshu sake. We had a splendid Carabinero prawn, a fluffy hairtail, a meaty shiitake mushroom, and a plump scallop. We enjoyed them with salt and lemon. There is also curry powder on the table φ(..) Towards the end, a crisp♪︎ switch to Kudoki Jouzu Bakuren, and a break with the simmered dish and oyster Chawanmushi. Then, more sushi. We started with the fatty part of the seared Kinmedai, and of course, we wanted some Akami. The Yamagata beef steak roll topped with Bafun Uni was perfect. Finally, we had the red miso soup with Ise Ebi. For dessert, strawberries and Dekopon. The meal was served in a specific order.

I finished work near Shinjuku and searched for a restaurant on Tabelog. I found this place and called to see if I could go there on the spot, and I could. It's really convenient. Nowadays, it's quite difficult to make same-day reservations at sushi restaurants in Tokyo, so it's really appreciated to be able to call and go right away like this. They accept customers from 4 pm to midnight, which is great. Sushi restaurants with a strict starting time are increasing, making it difficult to fit in work before going. It's hard to find a sushi restaurant where you can make a reservation on the same day after finishing work. Of course, it's nice to make reservations months in advance and go to a special sushi restaurant, but not all sushi restaurants should be judged on the same level. It's better to be able to choose a restaurant based on the situation at that time. I called and got a seat. This place is a branch of a tempura restaurant that has earned Michelin stars, and it seems like there are many branches all over. It's a sushi restaurant but also offers tempura, which is a unique feature of this place. I had various types of sake served to me, and they were all delicious. I went to another izakaya boasting about their sake from a hundred famous stores a few days ago, and it was terrible, so it was nice to wash away the frustration I had there. The taste here is very Edo-style or rather, Kanto-style, or overall, it's quite solidly seasoned. It's closer to the cuisine of samurai families rather than Kyoto cuisine or merchant cuisine. In other words, it's Kanto or Edo-style seasoning. Drinking sake in Edo Kiriko glasses matches well with this. There were other foreign customers at the counter that day, and I think this kind of clear-cut seasoning is easy to understand and well-received by inbound customers from overseas due to the location. It seems to be designed that way. I ordered the special course that day, ate and drank, and it was around 20,000 yen, but they have lunch for 5,800 yen and dinner starting from 9,800 yen, so you can choose according to your budget for the day. I'm just a traveler, so I tried the top course, but for Tokyo residents, starting from the lower course and gradually trying the higher courses to find the right balance could be a good idea for choosing a restaurant to take someone in Shinjuku. I didn't try it, but with the higher courses, you can have a feast of fish roe, probably including Yamame and Amago roe, so if there's a next time, I'd like to try that. Or, you can also try different types of caviar with the higher courses, which could be interesting. If you can try them as a la carte items without them being included in the course, that would be fun. Anyway, when it's too much trouble to find a restaurant in Shinjuku, I might use this place again. Thank you for the meal.

Visited at 12:00 on a weekday. Had a private room, which was great because I get nervous at the counter! Each dish was beautifully presented and a feast for the eyes. However, the service was a bit sloppy, which was a little disappointing. Maybe they were just busy during lunchtime. Thank you for the meal! ^_^
