The first time I visited was at the old location in Gaienmae. It was about 15 years ago. Since then, I have visited occasionally, usually with someone, sometimes alone. If you want to eat delicious crab dishes in Tokyo without breaking the bank, I highly recommend "Kani Ryoshi no Ie." No need to waste time searching for other options. The first two dishes are a must-order. ✔︎ Zuwai and avocado with crab miso dip for those who love crab miso. ✔︎ Zuwai crab yukhoe (with salt sesame oil) The creamy zuwai crab and sesame oil go perfectly together. The side dish is a new addition. ✔︎ Spicy seafood squid and octopus with glass noodles stir-fry The strong Chinese-style seasoning goes well with beer! For the finale, try one of the two main dishes. ✔︎ Taraba crab tomato cream pasta (half) The rich sauce with cream and tomato, paired with al dente pasta, is exquisite. Two bottles of beer and the bill comes to just over 5,000 yen. It seems they have raised prices a bit. It's suitable for various occasions like with colleagues, close friends, or casual entertaining. It's better to enjoy a variety of dishes while drinking rather than just ordering fried rice or pasta alone for a higher level of satisfaction.

I usually go for lunch. The restaurant opens at 11:30, and when I arrived at that time, there were about 5 people waiting in line, but I was able to get in after the first round. I had the half & half of fried rice and pasta (¥1,100). I like fried rice, but the pasta was incredibly delicious. Please note that they only accept cash for lunch!

I arrived around 12:30 on a weekday. I entered without having to wait. I ordered the half and half pasta and fried rice for 1100 yen. It arrived in about 5 minutes. It's quite rare to have a combination of crab dishes and this. The crab flavor wasn't too strong, and it was balanced and delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I found this place by searching for "Gaienmae Station Lunch". It is located on the 3rd floor of a mixed-use building right near the station, and I had never heard of it before. But after reading the reviews and seeing how delicious it looked, I decided to visit. Inside, there are table seats on both sides, and a counter with 2 seats facing the kitchen. I ordered the following: - Crab Tomato Cream Spaghetti (small portion) for 1000 yen I originally wanted to get the half & half with crab fried rice, but considering my hunger level and the fact that I had a theater performance to attend after, I opted for just the pasta. I appreciated being able to choose the portion size. It came with crab miso soup, salad, and coffee jelly. When it was brought to me, I thought the portion of pasta was smaller than I expected, but the crab flavor and sauce were rich and delicious, so I was satisfied. The salad was mainly shredded cabbage, but it was a nice addition since it was included. The miso soup had crab shells in it, but the flavor was mild and balanced well with the crab pasta. The coffee jelly was a delightful little dessert, with a texture that I liked. The staff were very friendly and attentive despite being busy. They cleverly placed a fork and a spoon for the jelly on the tray, and provided chopsticks, a crab fork, and a spoon on the table, which I thought was a nice touch to speed up service. It's a very popular restaurant, as there was a line forming on the stairs when I left. The deliciousness definitely makes it worth waiting in line. I will visit again.

The seating and space are not cramped, so you can relax comfortably. I'm not sure what dish it was, but it was a bit strong in flavor, and the next day I woke up with really swollen eyes haha. Besides crab, there are many other dishes with strong flavors. Even for men who love hearty meals, it's great that you can easily enjoy crab sashimi at this price. I would love to go for lunch again and try more dishes. The crab yukhoe with sesame oil was easy to eat and delicious. Overall, I feel that this restaurant offers great value for money. It's also nice that they have steamed crab in a pot.

Today, I tried the crab set for the first time. It was lighter than I expected and just right after finishing it, so I was pleased. It comes with small dishes, which is great for women. It also includes a mini gratin, making it a good deal. The staff's energetic and efficient service as always makes this restaurant a pleasant place to dine.

There is a delicious crab restaurant on the 3rd floor of a building near Gaienmae Station. The restaurant is full and there is a line, but the turnover is surprisingly good. I ordered the popular Half & Half crab fried rice without hesitation. The pasta with crab tomato cream was rich and delicious. The fried rice was exceptional, with just the right amount of rice fried perfectly and topped with plenty of crab meat. It was a satisfying crab-filled lunch with coffee jelly on the side. Highly recommended. Thank you for the meal.

This place is really good. Just as the name suggests, it's all about crab. I had the crab fried rice and it had a lot of crab in it, which I love. It's not the most convenient location for me, but it seems to be popular at night, so I'll make sure to come back for dinner next time and reevaluate.

I visited the restaurant after 1 pm. There were 2 groups of customers waiting ahead of me, but I was able to enter a few minutes later when they were leaving. The restaurant was a bit crowded, and the staff seemed a little busy. Both the pasta and miso soup allowed me to fully enjoy the taste of crab, so I was satisfied with the meal.

The restaurant was surprisingly delicious and had great value for money, considering it specializes in crab dishes. There was a variety of cooking methods such as steamed, grilled, and sashimi, with a mix of Japanese, Western, and Chinese flavors. While many crab restaurants can cost over 10,000 yen, this place offers a great experience for those looking to enjoy crab dishes without breaking the bank.

Located on the 3rd floor of a mixed-use building in front of Harajuku Station, this crab restaurant has recently relocated. It seems like this restaurant has been around since the 1990s. The company that operates this place is famous for their franchise of "crab fried rice" restaurants. I arrived at the new location around 12:30 PM. It was quite busy, but a group was leaving so I was able to enter smoothly. The menu includes Crab Fried Rice: Regular size @1,000 yen (all prices include tax), Crab Egg Fried Rice: Regular size @1,000 yen, Crab Tomato Cream Spaghetti: Regular size @1,100 yen, Seafood Mix Fry Set @1,100 yen, Spaghetti and Fried Rice Half & Half @1,100 yen, Crab Set @1,300 yen, Daily Special: Snow Crab and Seafood Tomato Basil Spaghetti: Regular size @1,100 yen, Daily Special: Shrimp Fried Rice with Crab Sauce: Regular size @1,000 yen. In addition to the Crab Fried Rice, they also offer spaghetti for those who want to try both dishes with the Half & Half option. I ordered the Spaghetti and Fried Rice Half & Half @1,100 yen (tax included). I chose the Crab Egg Fried Rice. It took 8 minutes for the food to be served, which included the Crab Egg Fried Rice, Crab Tomato Cream Spaghetti, green salad, miso soup, and jelly. I started with the Crab Tomato Cream Spaghetti, which had a rich and creamy sauce with a good crab flavor. The Crab Egg Fried Rice had a gentle flavor with a layer of egg on top and two green peas. It was different from the usual Crab Fried Rice I usually have. The impression of the Crab Tomato Cream Spaghetti was stronger, so the Crab Egg Fried Rice felt a bit overshadowed. The miso soup had fried tofu and greens, along with bits of crab legs, giving it a subtle crab flavor.

I visited for lunch on a regular day. I couldn't decide between pasta and fried rice, but then I found a half & half set. I could choose between crab cream pasta and crab fried rice, with the option to add crab omelette. The set also came with crab soup, salad, and coffee jelly for 1,100 yen, which is a great deal in this area. Both the crab cream pasta and crab fried rice were delicious with plenty of crab.

After work, I met up with my son and enjoyed some "Crab Fried Rice" together for the first time in a while! I tried to show off in front of my child by ordering it with an egg on top, but personally, I think I prefer the regular crab fried rice for its fluffy texture (lol). The octopus tempura was perfect as a side dish with beer!

I went to a restaurant that is only open on weekdays for lunch after running errands with my husband. The restaurant is located on the third floor of a nondescript building, and when we arrived, there were two groups waiting in line at the entrance. Surprisingly, the turnover was fast, and we didn't have to wait too long. While waiting, we decided on our orders from the menu. There were daily specials, crab set meals, mixed fry dishes (including crab cream croquettes), and various combo sets, but we decided to go for the crab omelette rice! I ordered the crab omelette rice a la carte, and my husband chose the half and half option. Our dishes arrived shortly after we sat down. The crab omelette rice was priced at 1000 yen and came with crab miso soup, salad, and coffee jelly for dessert that day. The crab omelette itself was on the lighter side, with a mild flavor. The fried rice was seasoned with green onions and pepper, giving it a slightly spicy kick. The half and half option cost 1100 yen and included a mini crab omelette rice and crab tomato cream pasta. The salad and jelly were the same as before. It's recommended for those who want to try both the fried rice and pasta. It seemed like there were quite a few people from nearby offices dining there, chatting about work while enjoying their meals. Some were trying different dishes besides the crab omelette rice. The restaurant's quick turnover and delicious food make it a convenient option for weekday lunches. While it may not be worth traveling far for, it's definitely a good choice for those nearby.

I visited around 1 PM on a weekday. I was able to get in smoothly, but it was crowded. They said they could accept customers until 2 PM. The crab fried rice was delicious, with a rich flavor and a good amount of oil, salt, and pepper. The quality was high and it was enjoyable. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this restaurant for lunch as it is close to my workplace. As a crab lover, I was excited to see the lunch menu. The options were set meals, fried rice, or pasta. For my first visit, I decided to go with the fried rice and pasta set. I really wanted to try the crab fried rice, so I ordered the large portion. The crab fried rice of the day was "Snow crab and seafood with bonito flakes fried rice with a hint of spicy chili flavor" (1,000 yen), with an additional 100 yen for the large portion (very reasonable). It was made with snow crab, shrimp, and small dried fish fried with bonito flakes and a spicy chili flavor. It also came with crab miso soup, salad, and homemade dessert. When it arrived, I could smell the bonito flakes and took a bite... It was too salty! It was disappointing because the fried rice itself was delicious. I wonder if the chef was sweating too much or not feeling well. I regret getting the large portion. I want to visit again and confirm the taste next time.

Without hesitation, I had the Crab Fried Rice and Crab Spaghetti! With salad, miso soup, and coffee jelly included, all for 1,100 yen, it's a great deal! I also visited in October 2022 and thought the Crab Fried Rice was delicious! They use plenty of crab and I left satisfied. I definitely want to visit this restaurant again. ☺️

I visited around 1 pm on a weekday and had to wait for about 3 groups, but was seated in about 10 minutes. I ordered the recommended Half & Half (crab fried rice) for 1100 yen, in a set meal type where the miso soup also had crab in it which was a nice touch. The crab fried rice had a slightly strong salt taste, so the crab was a bit overshadowed, but the lettuce added a nice accent. The pasta had medium thick noodles with a rich cream sauce that coated it well and was delicious. I would like to visit again if I have the chance. Thank you for the meal!

Today, I was in the mood for crab cream croquettes so I decided to get the mixed set meal. It came with oysters, scallops, and chicken, along with two crab cream croquettes, making it a very filling and satisfying meal. Next time, I think I will ask for less rice. The crab miso soup was also a nice touch during my break at work. The staff were efficient and the service was quick, which I really appreciated. The crab cream croquettes were delicious.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is bright and cozy. They have a good selection of wines. It's a crab lover's paradise, with delicious crab dishes. It's rare to find a place that serves crab sashimi, so that's a big plus! You can taste the crab in every dish. The location is also convenient!

When I ordered the crab tomato cream pasta, it came with a salad, miso soup, and coffee jelly, which was a great deal. The pasta and miso soup had a rich crab flavor and were delicious. The restaurant had a lively atmosphere and the staff's efficient service left a good impression. I would like to visit this place again.
