On this day, I visited a Miffy exhibition at Parco in the morning (it was a small exhibition with goods for sale) and then I started to feel hungry. We thought it would be crowded if we went outside Parco to look for a restaurant, so we decided to go to this restaurant located in the basement of Parco. It is a place where you can have tempura set meals or tempura rice bowls. I ordered a vegetable tempura rice bowl, and my girlfriend ordered a standard tempura rice bowl. The food arrived after a short wait, and it looked very colorful. I took a bite and the tempura, dipped in a sweet sauce, was delicious. The rice absorbed the sauce nicely, making it even more enjoyable to eat. When we were about halfway done, miso soup and pickles were served (they are not shown in the photos). The miso soup was also delicious. It was a red miso soup with a rich flavor, and it was the best red miso soup I've had in a while. We quickly finished our meals, feeling very satisfied, and left the restaurant. Although the name of the restaurant includes "standing and drinking," you can actually sit down and eat there. We will definitely come back again. Thank you for the meal.

This is a restaurant located in the basement of Shibuya PARCO where you can eat tempura. I visited for lunch and arrived around 1 pm without having to wait in line. I ordered the chicken tempura bowl. The egg was delicious, and both the tartar sauce and chicken tempura were tasty.

I had a tempura rice bowl. There wasn't anything particularly impressive about it, I wish the tempura batter was crispier. The lotus root was thick and good. The tempura ice cream was unique and interesting, but the taste was just average.

On a Saturday in December, I had to kill time alone for 2 hours in Shibuya. I searched on Tabelog for recommended places for solo drinking and called a few places. When I said it was just one person, I was met with a cold response. It seems like most places have a minimum of two people for seating. It seemed impossible to do solo drinking in the crowded Shibuya. That's when I turned to the underground area of Parco. I found a place with seating at the counter for solo drinking. It wasn't a standing bar. The experience was great. The tempura was delicious, and the foreign person frying it was working diligently and had a great smile when serving the food. The kiss was big and fluffy, and I ended up getting seconds. The avocado was so-so, though. The waitress was attentive and moved around the place efficiently. I had a great impression. I will definitely come back for solo drinking in Shibuya. Thank you for the meal!

There is a tempura restaurant in the basement of Shibuya Parco. They have proper seating, not just standing. The tempura is fried by a man who seems to be Nepalese, and he was making drinks and frying one after another. He seemed to be taking a break alone. However, the food comes out quickly, and the tempura is crispy and delicious. He has a good personality too. The photo only shows a tempura of seasoned egg, but they also have tempura of daikon radish in oden broth, tempura of pickled ginger, and shrimp tempura, of course. It's not a place to linger, but it's perfect for enjoying tempura quickly and affordably! The quality is good, so you won't be disappointed!

I visited a tempura bar called "kiku" for lunch. I ordered the "Kikuya Teishoku" for 1,200 yen including tax. The menu photos looked delicious. The tempura included 2 shrimp, kisu fish, and vegetables like eggplant, shiitake mushrooms, and lotus root. The tempura wasn't crispy, more on the soggy side, and seemed a bit overpriced. The foreign staff seemed busy handling everything alone. The meal arrived in about 15 minutes. Overall, it was just okay.

Today's lunch at KIKU in Shibuya Parco: For this price, you can enjoy so many different types of tempura, all freshly fried with a crispy coating. Highly recommended! I had 2 prawns, white fish, squid, lotus root, and although it's hidden in the photo, there was also a large eggplant at the back. The tempura bowl was only 1,000 yen. #PotatoHead #PotLunch #Today'sLunch #TokyoLunch #TokyoGourmet #ShibuyaLunch #ShibuyaGourmet #ShibuyaBowl #ShibuyaParco #ShibuyaParco #ParcoLunch #ParcoGourmet #ParcoLunch #TempuraBowl #Tempura #Tempura #StandingTempuraKIKU #KIKU #KikuYa #KikuYaTempuraBowl #KikuYaTokyo #HighlyRecommended

In the basement of Shibuya Parco, the main attraction is a tempura restaurant. I tried the tempura soba set, which was rare and interesting. I will evaluate only the soba. The portion size was generous and the soba dipping sauce had a fairly sweet taste, likely influenced by the tempura. The soba noodles were cooked on the softer side and lacked any distinct flavor. There was a large amount of grated daikon radish on top of the soba, giving it a light and refreshing taste. However, the sweetness of the daikon radish overpowered the flavor towards the end, making the dipping sauce too diluted. Despite this, the generous portion size makes it a satisfying meal for lunch. If you focus on the tempura aspect, the taste and price are both satisfying. It's a casual place to visit, which is a plus.

It was a visit on Monday around 3 PM at the start of the week. Since it was cold and windy outside, I headed to the underground floor of Parco Shibuya instead of a street shop! I had been to a few stores before, so I decided to try this standing tempura bar that I hadn't been to yet. Even though it's a standing bar, there were chairs available. I ordered the basic Kiku-ya tempura bowl, tempura rice bowl, and extra rice. Since it was a quiet time, there were only two other customers, and my tempura bowl arrived quickly. The tempura was crispy and delicious, with large pieces and a sweet dipping sauce that I liked. For 1000 yen, I could enjoy this quality tempura leisurely, so I would definitely consider visiting again! Thank you for the meal.

I went to a tempura restaurant called "Chaos Kitchen" on the basement floor of Shibuya Parco. It's a standing bar, but there are seats available. The seating consists of simple chairs and counter seats, with maybe one table seat. It was a little past 1 pm and the place was about 80% full. I was torn between ordering soba and tempura set, but I decided to go with the tempura set meal. The "Kikuya Set Meal" costs 1,000 yen (tax included). There were Himalayan rock salt, matcha salt, and curry salt on the table. I asked for a small portion of rice, but they offer free extra rice if you want. The meal arrived in about 4 minutes. It included 2 prawns, a smelt fish, squid, lotus root, eggplant, and shiitake mushrooms. It also came with red miso soup and pickles. The prawns were not very big but had a nice texture, especially with the rock salt. The smelt fish and eggplant were delicious. The red miso soup was comforting. I paid with electronic money, and they accept PayPay. According to reviews, the soba set is popular here. I would like to try it next time. By the way, there might not be any other soba restaurants in Shibuya Parco besides this one. There is another tempura restaurant called "Tempura Takao" on the 7th floor of Parco where tempura is served one by one, but here at Chaos Kitchen, it all comes out at once, so it's good for those who want to eat tempura quickly.

Located on the basement floor of Shibuya PARCO, this standing bar has chairs for customers to sit on. Although originally targeted towards a younger crowd, surprisingly, the lightly battered half-cooked shrimp tempura was delicious, so I decided to revisit at the end of the year. I ordered the cold "tempura soba (large serving)" for 1,100 yen, with the regular serving priced at 1,000 yen and the large serving for an additional 100 yen. It seems they have raised the price by 100 yen since a year ago, but it is still relatively affordable. However, upon trying it after a long time, the tempura seemed slightly overcooked. The soba noodles on this day were clearly boiled too much, which was disappointing. Previously, the soba noodles had a surprising firmness and were served in cold broth with grated radish and myoga, making it refreshing, but it was a bit disappointing this time. The lunch menu also includes options like "Kikuya tendon," "Kikuya set meal," and "Chicken tempura bowl," but I will also mention the "Tarekatsu-style pork fillet tempura bowl" that I had before, which was delicious. There was a time when they served a sauce-covered katsu bowl, but I remember it being a bit heavy on the stomach. I recommend the Tarekatsu-style version. This tempura restaurant is a place where even young people can easily drop by. Frying food is quite challenging. Thank you for the meal~

I stumbled upon this shop in Kichijoji from the old days. You can order tempura dishes individually at this shop. They have a wide variety of sake (even though it's not on the menu, haha), so it's a great place to enjoy tempura with some sake! I love the red pickled ginger tempura. Also, I enjoy eating a seasoned egg with truffle salt. The tempura is fried perfectly. The menu is limited due to the small shop, which is a shame, but it's a recommended place for casually enjoying tempura and sake! ✨

In the basement of Shibuya PARCO, there is a tempura restaurant. I had the tempura rice bowl for lunch, which cost 1,000 yen. There was only one older man working in the restaurant, doing everything from cooking to serving and cleaning up. The tempura was crispy and made a satisfying crunch when bitten into, just like in commercials. I wonder what kind of oil they use. The tempura rice bowl was very delicious! It would be better if they had at least one more staff member in the dining area. Thank you for the meal.

A standing tempura restaurant located in Shibuya Parco basement. I visited for lunch. Despite being a standing restaurant, they have chairs for you to sit down during lunch. I chose the summer limited sudachi cold soba tempura set. The tempura included shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, eggplant, lotus root, and sweet long red peppers. The tempura was crispy and delicious, served with dipping sauce and three types of salt on the table. The sudachi cold soba was beautifully arranged with a refreshing sudachi citrus fragrance. It disappeared quickly, so I should have ordered a large portion.

Just before 3 pm, at PARCO. I slid in for lunchtime. I ordered the Kikuya Tendon (1000 yen) with less rice. It was served in less than 10 minutes. It came with pickles and red miso soup. The tempura included squid, eggplant, lotus root, shiitake mushrooms, kisu (sillago fish), and two prawns. Considering the price, it was surprisingly luxurious! The squid was tender, and the prawns were firm. The batter was light and crispy. I was very satisfied. Next time, I want to try the standing bar. (^-^)

At the end of 2019, Shibuya PARCO's newly renovated underground 1st floor restaurant area named Chaos Kitchen offers a variety of unique dishes including deer meat, rabbit, and alligator, creating a truly chaotic kitchen atmosphere. During lunchtime, I stumbled upon a promising restaurant and decided to give it a try. Despite being a standing tempura restaurant, customers were seated and enjoying their meals. The lunch menu included: Tempura Set Meal (1,000 yen), Kikuya Tempura Rice Bowl (1,000 yen), Tempura Cold Soba (900 yen), and Chicken Tempura Rice Bowl (900 yen). I went with the Tempura Cold Soba (900 yen) which turned out to be surprisingly delicious. The tempura was lightly battered and the cold soba was refreshing with grated radish, myoga, and seaweed. It was a good deal for 1,000 yen to have both tempura and soba. I might try the tempura rice bowl or chicken tempura rice bowl with extra rice next time. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

I used it as a second or third place in Parco underground. It's a standing style so you can easily stop by and it's a nice atmosphere! The photo is daikon, but the tororo kombu was a good accent and it was delicious! The other tempura was also delicious, so I want to go again.

The food court floor in Shibuya Parco basement, Chaos Kitchen. It has been open for nearly a year, but I have only been to about 2 or 3 shops so far. I'm not good with crowded walkways like at Don○ki either. When the temperature was over 36°C, they were serving chilled sudachi soba, but unfortunately it was full so it was my first visit. I ordered the chilled tempura soba (tax included 900 yen) from the staff. Then, a chef-like person started preparing the tempura alone. It took about 5 minutes for the food to be served. The tempura included lotus root, shishito peppers, eggplant, shrimp, and squid. I thought the lotus root could be cooked a little more, but it was crispy, not oily, and delicious. It was nice to have shichimi, matcha salt, curry salt, and rock salt on the table. Personally, I don't need the curry salt, so I would like to request sansho salt next time. The cold soba in the cold broth surprised me, but it was thin yet chewy, and I could eat it without it stretching until the end. The broth was not too sweet or too strong, which was nice. It seems you can get a large serving for an additional 100 yen, but unless you eat a lot, the regular portion is enough. The addition of myoga along with grated daikon was a nice touch. In Shibuya, where you often see cheap udon shops and hamburger shops with long lines, I really liked this place. Above all, I am happy that you can have such a proper tempura soba in Shibuya for only 900 yen. There are also appetizers starting from around 300 yen, which is nice. Oh, the name of the shop says "standing bar," but there are chairs for lunch. I would like to be able to enjoy a quick drink and snack alone like this tempura with Japanese sake. I love Japanese sake, so it's just a matter of mindset. It was delicious. I will definitely go again. Thank you for the meal!
