They accommodated us with a course menu even though we made a reservation just 1 hour prior. Other places were not able to do so. I was initially skeptical, thinking it might be a cafe or a regular hangout spot, but I was wrong. The food was well-balanced, homemade, and delicious. There was plenty to eat and the quality of the all-you-can-drink alcohol was great, including Ebisu beer, Harper whiskey, and Taketsuru highball. The cocktails were also delicious. For about 6 dishes and 2 hours of all-you-can-drink, it was only 3000 yen. It's rare to find such a reasonable restaurant in Ebisu, which is already known for being pricey. This is the kind of place that captures the heart of a man who loves good food and drinks, and a cute girlfriend.

I had been curious about curry for a while, so I decided to check this place out. The restaurant was quite busy on a Friday night. The beer was cold and delicious. I tried a dish that was similar to a stewed hormone, which was tasty but a bit too sweet for my liking. I ended the meal with curry. There was a lot of meat in it, but the curry sauce seemed like it might have been store-bought.

I came to Ebisu for some errands, but it was past 2 pm and I was starting to feel like a lunch refugee. As I walked dejectedly, I noticed a restaurant with a curry flag out, indicating that it was open. I hadn't had curry in a while, so I decided to go in. The name of the restaurant was "Tamakinch...chi," which made me do a double-take. Inside, there were a few solo customers, both men and women, sitting separately. I was given a napkin, fork, spoon, and water, and took some time to look at the menu. I ordered the "Pork Curry (¥900 tax included)" with less rice. I later regretted missing the side menu items like raw egg (¥100), fried chicken (¥300), and two pieces of pork cutlet (¥400). After a 5-minute wait, the curry was served. It had a generous portion of pork belly on top, and the rice was neatly shaped like a dome. The curry sauce was also plentiful and delicious. The pork belly was so tender that it easily fell apart with a light touch of the spoon. The curry had a taste reminiscent of store-bought curry, which I didn't mind. As I alternated between eating the pork, rice, and curry, I started to get a bit bored of the flavor. The fried onion chips on top were not crispy but rather soft. I wished they were crunchier. After finishing the meal, I still felt a bit unsatisfied, so I ordered an iced coffee, which helped refresh my palate. I paid using Shibuya's digital local currency "Hachipei" for the first time, which was convenient and cost-effective. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and the experience.

It's been a while since I visited "Tamakichi." I was thinking of pork curry, but ended up choosing the fried chicken curry. The flavor of the curry was just perfect, with the right amount of simmering. It's consistently delicious. I think this place is perfect just the way it is. I don't need anything else.

This place is amazing! I was already completely drunk and don't remember what I talked about, but it was so much fun! "Tamaki" san, right? It's not like I visited your place, but it feels like it (laughs). It's a fun bar. I want to come back when I'm sober and join the party from the beginning. When I was brought here by the regular customer, I was already drinking too much (laughs). But the atmosphere is really nice, and it was a miracle that I could enter without a reservation! I want to go again, but I can't go alone, so I'll ride along with that regular lady and have her bring me again (laughs). Thank you for the meal! ☆彡

I heard that there is a restaurant in Ebisu where you can finish your drinking with an impactful curry, so I decided to visit. The restaurant had a cozy atmosphere that made me forget I was in Ebisu. They had a wide variety of drinks and food on the menu, making it a great place to enjoy from the first drink. The prices were reasonable and the curry was impressive with a generous amount of meat. The meat was tender and the curry was perfect after drinking. It was a great way to end the night. Thank you for the meal.

Tamakichi Pork Curry for 900 yen. Although it is an izakaya, I heard from a friend that the curry is delicious, so I decided to give it a try. Located within a 5-minute walk from Ebisu Station, the restaurant is situated along the railway tracks. Upon entering, I noticed the sign on the lantern outside that read "Curry Izakaya" (no wonder it's delicious). The interior had about 5-6 counter seats and 4 table seats. It was a cozy space with low counter heights, allowing you to see the staff from anywhere in the izakaya. I ordered the "Pork Curry," and it arrived in about 10 minutes. Served on a white plate, the dish was dominated by the curry color. Even in that state, you could see a large piece of pork resting on top of the rice, which was scooped into a round shape. The pork was tender and juicy, disappearing in an instant in my mouth. The perfect harmony with the curry made me realize that I had finished it all before I knew it. It was delicious to enjoy such tender meat at an izakaya. Thank you for the meal.

The pork curry with a powerful presence, topped with three pieces of pickled radish. The potato salad (200 yen) ordered separately has a delightful texture with onions and ham or bacon. The curry is simple and basic, not trying to be too fancy. It's a satisfying lunch that you can enjoy without getting tired of it.

Today's wisdom seeker encountered a high school student who shared the same anxieties they once had in their youth. They provided appropriate advice based on their own experiences, and it seemed like the other person found a solution, even though they didn't receive the best answer. Nevertheless, it's Friday and Takumon is feeling energetic. Today's spot is "Tamakinchi," located about a 2-minute skip from the station, on the side facing the railway tracks. Despite being an area with quite a few Mickey Mouse figures, surprisingly, there are also several eateries. The poster had been curious about this place for a while. Initially, they thought it was a snack bar that served curry for lunch, but it turns out it's not a snack bar. However, it seems to be open in the evenings as well. The atmosphere inside is somewhat reminiscent of a snack bar, with a cozy feel and a TV as part of the decor, creating a relaxing vibe. It has a small, hidden gem-like quality. The poster visited during a weekday lunchtime and decided on having curry since it was Friday. This time, they tried the "Pork Curry" priced at 900 yen. It seems you can also get a free large serving, but the poster was unsuccessful in requesting it midway through. The visual impact of the dish is impressive. The meat is so tender that it can be easily pulled apart with a spoon, and it tastes delicious. The poster found it surprisingly easy to finish, so adding extra meat might be a good idea. The curry roux is average, with the focus mainly on the meat. The taste is reminiscent of traditional flavors. The spiciness is slightly sweet, leaning towards medium spicy. The amount of rice is just right, but opting for a large serving might be better. The texture is just right and complements the curry well. As a side, there were three pieces of pickled radish. It might be worth considering ordering a set with miso soup, among other things. The poster is interested in the evening menu as well, but they are a bit concerned about the somewhat dry customer service from the staff. Overall, it was a satisfying meal. They also accept payment via PayPay. Takumon signing off.

"Tama Kinchi" Located about a 3-minute walk from Ebisu Station West Exit. An izakaya where you can enjoy delicious pork curry for lunch. The braised pork on top is slightly grilled and tender, making it delicious. The curry roux is a traditional and orthodox flavor that is well-received by everyone. Overall, it was just a delicious curry. - Restaurant Name: Tama Kinchi - Google Maps: Izakaya Tama Kinchi 03-3496-1770 https://maps.google.com?q=%E3%80%92150-0021%20%E6%9D%B1%E4%BA%AC%E9%83%BD%E6%B8%8B%E8%B0%B7%E5%8C%BA%E6%81%B5%E6%AF%94%E5%AF%BF%E8%A5%BF%EF%BC%91%E4%B8%81%E7%9B%AE%EF%BC%93%E2%88%92%EF%BC%95%20%E3%82%A2%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B9%E6%81%B5%E6%AF%94%E5%AF%BF%E3%83%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B9%20%E5%B1%85%E9%85%92%E5%B1%8B%E3%81%9F%E3%81%BE%E3%81%8D%E3%82%93%E3%81%A1&ftid=0x60188b417a7c4abb:0xcdb874f97b7bbb07&hl=ja-JP&gl=jp&entry=gps&lucs=swa - Nearest Station: Ebisu Station on various lines, 2 minutes walk, 240m from Ebisu Station - Business Hours: [Lunch Time] - Monday to Friday: 11:30-17:00 [Bar Time] - Monday to Saturday: 18:00-06:00 - Sunday: 17:00-00:00 Open on Sundays - Regular Holiday: Closed for lunch on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as on holidays (irregular holidays) - Reservation: Reservations accepted.

I overslept and was planning to make a detour to eat curry, but my plans changed. I arrived around 12 o'clock. The interior of the restaurant was like an izakaya. We were seated at a table for two. I ordered the Pork Curry for ¥900. It was served in 5 minutes. The curry was not too thick or too watery, and it had no chunks of ingredients. At first, I thought it was about medium spicy like home-cooked curry, but it gradually became spicier like a hot curry! The pork was so tender that it could be easily shredded with a spoon, and it was delicious without being too fatty. The rice was cooked normally. I was quite hungry, so I finished it all in one go, but maybe I should have gotten the free extra-large portion since there was a lot of curry. I'm curious about the Green Curry too. Thank you for the meal!

I had pork curry and grapefruit juice. The meat was so tender that it could be cut with a spoon, and it was very delicious! The atmosphere seemed to have many regular customers, so I felt a bit hesitant to go in alone, but the friendly staff welcomed me and I had a great meal. I didn't drink alcohol, so I only had curry and a drink, using the GoToEat program as a reason for visiting, but I received polite service throughout and felt warm and cozy. Thank you for the meal!

I had been curious about this place for a while. I found out that they serve lunch until 5 pm. Today, I tried the pork curry with tender pork belly topping. It wasn't too spicy, suitable even for children. The mound of rice was cute. I personally added a lot of my own seven spice seasoning, but they also had additional spices available to increase the heat. It's great that they serve lunch until late.

Visited in February 2020 after seeing a thick pork curry on Yahoo! that caught my eye. Sat at the counter and started with some clams in Hoppy. Since it's a bar, it felt a bit awkward to order curry right away for dinner. The lively female staff member behind the counter is also said to perform on stage. The highlight was definitely the pork curry, with the meat being the star! It was about the thickness of a finger, tender, and very satisfying to eat! If this restaurant was near my office, I would definitely go there for lunch.

I finished my work drinking in Ebisu. Since I'm already in Ebisu, it would be a waste to just go home. I wonder if there is a place where I can have a light drink and eat to finish off the night? At times like this, "Tabelog" is convenient (let's check it out). I quickly looked up a restaurant in Ebisu that I want to visit on Tabelog, and... I found a place that perfectly matches my current mood. TAMAKINCHI When I entered the restaurant called "Tamakinchin," I was surprised. It's not really a "Tamakinchin" at all! It's more like "Tamakinnashi" (sorry...). The small restaurant was almost full, indicating that it is quite popular. There were groups of women having a girls' night out at the table, and men lined up at the counter. I sat at the counter and ordered a Hoppy, which was served ready-made. And it was priced the same as draft beer (I should have just ordered a draft beer). I found "sabataku" on the menu! I thought it might be something special, but when I asked, they said it's "mackerel and pickled daikon" (I knew it). SABATAKU - ¥500 A combination of fresh mackerel and pickled daikon. The taste and crispy texture of the mackerel are amazing. It was my first time trying it, and it seemed even better than torotaku. Nostalgic Showa era songs were playing in the restaurant. I was in a good mood, so I decided to order another Hoppy. Occasionally, there was a spicy curry aroma wafting through the restaurant. Yes, this place is also a curry restaurant where you can drink. Maybe I should try their curry as a finishing touch. CHICKEN TOMATO CURRY - ¥800 Curry rice with chunks of chicken. The way the rice is served is cute. I scooped it up with a spoon and took a bite... Oh, this curry is delicious! The more you eat, the deeper the flavor spreads. The spicy heat that follows is pleasantly comforting. I feel like I've encountered a delicious curry after a long time. As I was leaving, I wanted to ask about the origin of the restaurant's name, but the men at the counter were deep in conversation, so I couldn't ask. If anyone knows the origin of the restaurant's name, please let me know!

Famous Pork Curry. 900 yen. It's really delicious as it says it's a specialty. The pork is tender like braised meat, and there's plenty of curry and rice. The curry has a Western-style taste, and the spiciness gradually builds up, becoming pleasantly warm towards the end. It's great that they serve lunch until 5 pm. I'm not sure about the other menu items, but I definitely want to come back for the pork curry.

Recently, I have been wandering around the city at lunchtime without deciding on a restaurant in advance. I find that not having any prior information allows me to enjoy the element of surprise and unexpected discoveries. Also, I feel that it's uncool to look at my smartphone while searching for a place to eat at my age. On this particular day, after finishing my errands, I was strolling around Nishi-Ebisu with no specific destination in mind when I noticed a sign on a telephone pole saying "Curry lunch available in this alley." The restaurant I found in the back alley was called "Tamakinchi." It appeared to be a bar serving lunch, with a menu that mainly focused on curry dishes. I arrived at around 12:30 pm to find about 6 customers in the 18-seat establishment. The place was run by two young female staff members, one handling cooking and serving, and the other taking care of cleaning and billing. Looking at the menu, I noticed that lunch was served until 5 pm. They offered two flavors of curry - regular and green curry, with various topping options available for the regular curry. I ordered the Pork Curry for 900 yen, added a topping of two pork cutlets for 300 yen, and also ordered miso soup for 100 yen and a green salad for 100 yen. I declined the offer for extra rice and opted for a regular portion. The green salad arrived 3 minutes after ordering, followed by pickled radish a minute later. The curry was ready in about 8 minutes. It was presented with a mound of rice in the center, topped with a long piece of simmered pork belly and onion fry chips on top, accompanied by pork cutlets on the side. The pork belly was impressively thick and long, easy to cut with chopsticks. I took a bite. The curry had a classic, old-fashioned curry shop taste, not too spicy or overwhelming in spices, but well-balanced and versatile. It paired well with the various toppings. The pork cutlets, likely homemade, were overshadowed by the pork belly in terms of flavor and size, but for 200 yen, it was acceptable. Hidden behind the cutlets was a simmered chicken with bones. I thought this curry might be primarily chicken curry. The curry was delicious, but I felt it lacked spiciness. When I asked if they could make it spicier, I was offered a spice called "Curry No" which was already on the table. It claimed to be "spicy with just one drop," so I added about 10 drops. It became spicier but still only about a level 2 in Coco Ichibanya's spiciness scale. Adding about 20 more drops significantly enhanced the flavor. I learned that "Curry No" is a spice sauce made with chili peppers and fruits. Shortly after finishing the curry, a simple miso soup with green onions and seaweed was served. The two female staff members were reserved and not overly friendly, especially the woman who appeared to be the owner handling the billing. Her demeanor was quite stern, but somehow intriguing. If she is also there at night, I would consider coming back for drinks and to see her expression while enjoying some oden at the counter. I can't quite explain it, but there is a mysterious charm to this place. I wouldn't have discovered it if I hadn't wandered aimlessly. It's a shame that smoking is allowed throughout the establishment, but I would still like to return for a night out at the counter, enjoying oden and whiskey while observing the stern yet intriguing woman. I'm glad I was lured in by the sign on the telephone pole.

Big chunks of char siu and stable curry♡ Not too spicy, it's a curry that brings back nostalgic memories. A unique restaurant located in the back streets on the west side of Ebisu. Is it a snack bar at night? The atmosphere inside the restaurant is moody. Highly recommended for a leisurely lunch!
