Today, I had work in Daikanyama, so I stopped by here before work. The atmosphere was nice and calming. The tonkatsu itself was delicious in a very ordinary way, and I thought the prices were reasonable for the location. Thank you for the meal!!!

I had the daily lunch set for 1100 yen. The main dish was a juicy and large menchi-katsu, and it even came with two of them. The rice was free for refills, which was a nice touch. Additionally, it came with a small side dish of hijiki and three types of pickles, offering a well-balanced meal. However, the only disappointing part was the miso soup. It tasted too much like instant soup and was a bit lacking compared to the other dishes. Nevertheless, the excellent service from the staff made up for it. Their attentive and polite service really enhanced the dining experience. Overall, getting such a filling and tasty meal for 1100 yen is great. The juiciness of the menchi-katsu was particularly outstanding. Despite the miso soup being a letdown, the exceptional service from the staff made up for it. I would highly recommend this place for those looking for good value, although the overall taste might be considered average.

Visited the restaurant for lunch at 1:00 PM. The place is located on the way from Ebisu to Daikanyama. I was able to get a seat right as someone was leaving, but there was a constant line of people waiting thereafter, indicating its popularity. Given the location, it seems to attract a lot of people from the apparel industry. The daily lunch special was menchi-katsu, served with rice, hijiki, pickles, and miso soup. The menchi-katsu was quite large, with two pieces providing a satisfying meal. It was fried to perfection, and the fruity sauce complemented it well. They also offer tonkatsu, sashimi, soba, and other set meals, catering to various preferences. This type of set meal is quite rare in this area. Overall, it was a delicious meal.

In a local area near a five-way intersection, around halfway between Ebisu and Daikanyama, there is a mysterious cluster of dining establishments. Among them is a place that is not particularly special, not a chain, more like a family-run establishment. However, in this exclusive Daikanyama-Ebisu area, it is quite rare. Enjoying the classic menu, finishing off with a set meal of fried horse mackerel and a special spicy chicken curry. Wonderful. I wish I had discovered it when I was younger...!!

The location is right in between Ebisu and Daikanyama, and although I had known about this restaurant for a while, I had never had the chance to visit until tonight when my companion suggested we have a casual drink here. The entrance had a calm Japanese-style feel, and the spacious interior with private rooms gave off a nice atmosphere that seemed suitable for business meetings. The cheerful and friendly female staff in traditional Japanese attire made a good impression. We toasted with sparkling wine and ordered from the recommended menu. The appetizers were delicious – fried fish cakes, stir-fried carrots and burdock root, and deep-fried squid paste. The large, plump oysters from Iwate were a standout with their ocean-fresh flavor. The sweet shrimp tempura was crispy and flavorful. The assorted tempura platter included large prawns, white fish, pumpkin, and shiso leaves, all with a satisfying crunch. We also enjoyed the homemade pickled vegetables. We indulged in some premium Japanese sake, and the slightly secluded location away from the station allowed us to enjoy a leisurely meal in a peaceful setting. They were currently holding the Ebisu Specialty Grand Prix, and we received a complimentary serving of marinated tuna with our order of draft beer. The lunch set for 1000 yen is said to be popular for its generous portion. While the prices at night are not exactly budget-friendly, the consistent quality and variety of the menu make it worth it. With a wide selection of dishes, it seems like a great place to dine with a large group. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

At noon, I wandered around the area near Daikanyama and found a nice-looking restaurant, so I decided to go in. The sashimi set was sold out, so I had the shrimp fry instead. It came with three large prawns! They were delicious with a crispy coating. The rice was also a generous portion, so I was completely satisfied with my lunch ^_^

The meals with generous portions are always delicious! This time, I had the mixed fry set meal. The batter is crispy and delicious! The staff are always polite and the restaurant is clean with a good atmosphere. It's reasonably priced and definitely a place I don't want to disappear!

Appetite comes while eating. (Rabelais) Well, I guess that's true when you don't have an appetite. Today, I went to "Yamabiko" in Daikanyama. This time, I had the "Mixed Vegetable Pork Soup with 2 Pork Cutlets" for 1100 yen. It's cold, so I decided to warm up with some pork soup. The table was spacious as always, which was nice. The order was ready in about 10 minutes, and I was surprised by the generous portion of rice. It's nice to have a large serving, but I ended up with extra rice and had to order another dish in a hurry. I also ordered the seared spicy cod roe for 300 yen. First, I tried the pork soup. It was delicious, with plenty of ingredients and tender meat. However, it was a bit lukewarm, which was a bit disappointing. But it was easy to drink, so it was okay. The pork cutlet was cooked to a medium level, and it was juicy with the meat juices flowing out. It was delicious, especially with the mustard as a nice touch. The seared spicy cod roe was a good choice, but be careful if you have gout. Overall, it was a satisfying meal. Thank you as always. Cheers!

- Zaru soba with tempura set (¥1,750): This set includes zaru soba noodles served with a variety of tempura including shrimp, squid, horse mackerel, eggplant, round tempura balls, and green pepper. It comes with grated daikon radish, white onions, and wasabi as condiments. - Fresh oysters (¥770): Oysters from Hokkaido Senhoshi? - Assorted sashimi platter of yellowtail and bluefin tuna (¥1,500) - Freshly brewed sake (300ml bottle/¥1,150)

If you're craving a delicious set meal with plenty of fish or meat, I recommend Yamabiko! My favorite is the thick-sliced salmon set meal. You'll be surprised by how thick the slices of salmon are, haha. There are also a variety of side dishes that men will appreciate, and you can even order items like fried chicken separately. The sashimi set meal, which is limited in quantity, is also said to be delicious! If you're ever in Ebisu and can't decide where to have lunch, be sure to give it a try.

I remember a time when I really wanted to shout "echo" and drove two hours to some unknown mountain to shout, but no echo came back. I cried on my way back. Today, I visited Daikanyama Yamabiko, located somewhere between Daikanyama and Ebisu, in a quiet and nice location. I went for lunch on a weekday. The place was quite peaceful with a few customers. However, after I entered, a large group of people came in. I was seated at a table for four, even though I was alone. The restaurant has a calm and nice atmosphere, with plenty of space. They have taken proper measures for infection prevention. I had the usual delicious barley tea for my drink. I was trying to decide on my order when the waitress kindly explained the dishes to me. Even when I was being silly and making random jokes, she responded with a smile. This kind of service is what distinguishes a popular restaurant. By the way, the Fruit Assortment with set meal style is said to be Instagrammable. Just kidding. This place makes it hard to decide. There are so many options, all of them look delicious, and the prices are reasonable. The lack of pictures also makes it difficult to choose. However, I heard that they have a Facebook page where they post photos of daily set meals, so checking that out can help make a decision. At this point, as a lover of Japanese cuisine and set meals, I am already planning to come back. Today, I ordered the Sashimi Set Meal for 1,100 yen, which included a sashimi assortment, kinpira gobou, pickles, large rice portion, miso soup, and sweet potato sweet potato. I also added a half portion of pork fillet cutlet for 300 yen. The sashimi was beautifully arranged, and it seemed like they serve seasonal ingredients. The freshness was outstanding. Especially the sweetness of the bonito was just right. The yellowtail was also delicious. The edible chrysanthemum added a sense of tranquility. But I rarely eat edible chrysanthemum. If anyone likes it, I would appreciate some tips on how to enjoy it. I personally see it more as a decoration. Sorry to the edible chrysanthemum farmers. The sashimi set meal seemed to be quite popular, as it was almost sold out. The side dishes were also tasty. The homemade pickles were a nice touch. The seasoning was perfect. The rice and miso soup were great. You can also have red miso for an additional 50 yen. The size of the pork cutlet was quite large. Wait, didn't I order a half portion? It was slightly thin, but easy to eat and delicious. The quality for 300 yen was impressive. The sweet potato dish was indeed a sweet potato sweet potato. It was deliciously sweet. The balance with a hint of yuzu was skillful. I'm speechless. Thank you for the meal. The food was delicious and the service at the restaurant was impeccable. I was impressed. I have found another favorite restaurant. I will probably go back tomorrow. Thank you and see you soon!

An izakaya located in Daikanyama, operating for over 10 years with an unknown founding year. Known for serving top-quality and generous lunch sets, their most popular dish is the "thick-cut salmon" which will surely impress you with its thickness. This restaurant offers excellent cost performance and is highly recommended.

I visited a lunch restaurant near Daikanyama Station where you can eat a variety of dishes. I wanted a quick and delicious lunch, so I went there! I had soba (you can choose cold or hot) and minced meat bowl. The flavors were just right, not too strong. The staff members were efficient and friendly. It's a place where you can enjoy a reliable lunch quickly. I will definitely visit again! Thank you for the meal! ⤴️

I wanted to eat Ehomaki, so I visited this restaurant. I made a reservation by phone on the same day. The interior of the restaurant has an open space with partitions that create a traditional Japanese atmosphere, and there are private rooms in the back. Since it was not crowded, I asked for a private room. The prices are very reasonable, and their lunch menu seems to be popular. It's a restaurant that is loved by the locals. The foie gras was huge and unlike anything I've seen before! I recommend this restaurant for various occasions, such as dates or after work.

I went to lunch with my senior, but the restaurant we wanted to go to was full. So, we decided to go to "Yamabiko" in Daikanyama, where I had been at night long ago. It was my first time having lunch there. The restaurant is located between Ebisu Station and Daikanyama Station. The entrance has a calm Japanese style. The lunch menu mostly costs 1000 yen, which is great for office workers. I ordered the daily special set meal, which was pork shabu-shabu. When it arrived, I was surprised by the huge portion of meat. There were many female customers but also some burly men, so it seems like a place that appeals to both genders. The side dishes were healthy, with two small dishes, simmered bamboo shoots, and pickles. The rice was cooked perfectly, and the miso soup was generous. Although there were ashtrays on each table, the restaurant was spacious and didn't smell smoky.

A friend posted about this place on Facebook, so I decided to check it out. I arrived at 1:40 PM and there were 5 people ahead of me. While waiting, they took my order, and I was seated in about 10 minutes. My meal arrived just 2 minutes later. I had planned to order the sashimi set meal and half portion of fried chicken with brown rice, but unfortunately the sashimi was sold out. So, I ended up getting the fried chicken set meal with brown rice instead. The fried chicken was nothing special, but the simmered bamboo shoots and hijiki side dishes were excellent. The miso soup was delicious with a rich broth, and the brown rice was also very tasty. Overall, I was very satisfied with my lunch experience.

I came to Yamabiko for lunch after hearing rumors for a while. It seems to be a Japanese restaurant at night. The lunch menu consists of several regular items and daily specials, showing that they put effort into their lunch menu as well. I had the Pork Cutlet Set Meal (1000 yen) from the regular menu. The pork cutlet was thick and had a light color, providing a satisfying texture. The sauce that came with it was unique, with a slight sweetness, strong acidity, and a fruity flavor that I really enjoyed. The generous portion of the pork cutlet made me want to have extra rice, which was delicious and perfectly cooked. The miso soup and pickles were also tasty. All of this for 1000 yen was a reasonable price. Sometimes, I want to take the time to have a proper meal at a place like this. I am truly grateful for this restaurant. I visited again in the evening. As expected, the food was delicious, the service was polite, and I could enjoy my meal in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. They have a good selection of drinks as well.

I discovered a new restaurant. I tried the daily special set meal with pork shabu sesame sauce and upgraded to brown rice, adding natto for 50 yen extra. It cost 1200 yen and the portion size was like a Petit Gâteau, about twice the amount of a mediocre café. The food was quite delicious, and the staff were friendly. Many locals seem to be regular customers. I heard they also offer dinner sets, so I plan to visit again next time.

It was delicious. The sea urchin, which I forgot to take a picture of, was also amazing.
