I went to Maguro no Nakada-ya Gotanda TOC Building in Gotanda, Tokyo. This restaurant located underground offers affordable maguro donburi and seafood donburi. Today, I ordered the service donburi which included maguro chu-toro, salmon, shime saba, shirasu, and more for only 900 yen. The taste was excellent and worth it.

Platto, today's lunch was a stroll around Gotanda Station. Exit the central ticket gate of JR Gotanda Station and head right towards the west exit. Turn left immediately after exiting the west exit, continue straight, cross the intersection on the right, and turn right to reach bus stop number 9. From bus stop number 9, a free bus bound for TOC departs, so take the bus and get off at TOC. Enter TOC from the main entrance, go down to the basement floor using the escalator in front, and you will find the Restaurant & Retail floor. Look at the floor map and head towards the left front. Today, I visited "Maguro no Nakadaya Gotanda TOC Building Store." At 11:30 am on a weekday, the proprietress was calling out in front of the store. Encouraged by her enthusiasm, I entered the store and was seated at a table on the left side upon entering. There were no other customers inside. I leisurely checked the menu at the table. The menu includes: - Today's daily bowl (from 900 yen) - Negitoro bowl (680 yen) - Two-color bowl (700 yen) - Zuke bowl (790 yen) - Negitoro moon-viewing bowl (780 yen) - Salmon and salmon roe bowl (1,240 yen) - Negitoro and ikura bowl (1,240 yen) - Omakase nigiri per person (1,580 yen) - Omakase nigiri for 1.5 people (1,980 yen) - Children's nigiri (600 yen) - Nakadaya-style scattered sushi (1,350 yen) - Greedy mega bowl (930 yen) - Special two-color bowl (880 yen) - Special negitoro bowl (880 yen) Daily special bowls: - Today's service bowl (950 yen) - Today's bargain bowl (1,150 yen) - Today's chirashi bowl (1,380 yen) When I asked the proprietress for a recommendation, she suggested the "Today's service bowl," so I ordered it without hesitation. After a 4-minute wait, the "Today's service bowl" was served. The bowl consisted of the main service bowl and a soup. The "Today's service bowl" had maguro tuna, amberjack, salmon, Ishigaki clam, shirasu, and pickled ginger on rice. First, I prepared soy sauce with wasabi in a small dish and dipped the sashimi in it before eating. Each type of sashimi had its own presence, including fresh, flavorful, and rich varieties. I then enjoyed it with rice. Finally, I finished by drinking the soup. Today, Q-chan enjoyed the "Service Bowl" quickly. Thank you for the meal.

I visited for lunch. There are many types of seafood bowls and sushi to choose from, so it's a bit overwhelming. I decided to order the daily special chirashi bowl for 1300 yen. It was quite crowded during lunchtime, but my order arrived in about 8 minutes. The bowl looked very generous and the pieces were quite large. Let's dig in! There were about 5 different types of tuna and shrimp in the bowl. There's also egg in it. The sashimi was fresh and chewy. I'm not sure whether to put wasabi soy sauce on it or dip it while eating, but I decided to dip it. Delicious! It was really tasty. It disappeared in no time. I wish it had a bit more volume, though. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Located in the basement of Gotanda TOC, Maguro no Nakada-ya is a seafood restaurant that many TOC employees have likely visited. The specialty of this restaurant is the daily seafood bowl, priced around 1,000 yen, which offers a generous portion and quality seafood. It is a great place to take new employees or recent graduates, and also perfect for lunch meetings with clients. As TOC is scheduled for demolition, the duration of the restaurant's operation is a concern.

This is the best value sushi restaurant in Gotanda TOC. I have only been for lunch, but they offer a daily special donburi that is delicious and affordable. As you can see in the photo, it is filled with plenty of toppings and costs around 1,000 to 1,200 yen. In other restaurants, a similar dish would cost around 1,800 to 2,500 yen. This is a great place for welcoming lunches with coworkers. Perhaps because it is located in TOC, you can usually get a table without much of a wait.

I had been living in Tokyo for about 15 years and had rarely visited Gotanda, but I came to TOC Building for a certain exam. After finishing the morning exam, I wandered around the underground food court and noticed the seafood bowl at this restaurant. I ordered the daily special bowl for 900 yen. It was served in just over 5 minutes. It was just the right size for lunch, and the seafood was satisfying. If you're not looking for seaside quality, it was a good enough seafood bowl to have in Tokyo.

Recently, I received an email from a consultant named Suzuki in this mailbox, saying they have a shop they want to promote. Did you all receive the same email? Anyway, today I took a walk in Gotanda, where the cold weather has returned. For more details, check out the YouTube channel "butakoma daily". I had lunch at a tuna shop located in the basement of Teo Sea Building, where the Showa era vibes are strong. I ordered the deluxe tuna bowl. Now, my thoughts on the food. I like that the vinegared rice was warm, but the marinated tuna was too sweet. There were also some sinewy pieces. If that's the case, I'd rather go to Isomaru Suisan.

I visited the restaurant in Gotanda ROC during a sale by a certain sports brand. I decided to have lunch inside the building and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The restaurant had a good atmosphere and the prices were reasonable. I ordered the chirashi bowl which had tuna, flatfish, sweet shrimp, salmon, and boiled whitebait on top of white rice. It was delicious and cost only ¥980 including tax. Overall, I was satisfied with the meal and would recommend it.

Despite being named "Maguro (tuna)", the quality is on par with or even lower than the seafood bowls at beef bowl chains. It feels like they just put a slice of half-priced sashimi from the supermarket on top. The portion is small and doesn't fill you up. It's unacceptable for the price of around 1000 yen. If it was around 500 yen, it would be fine, but at this price, it's just not worth it. It's surprising that they haven't gone out of business.

After finishing work on a weekday, I visited Maguro no Nakada-ya Gotanda TOC Building branch. I arrived after 6 pm and there were a few regular customers in the restaurant, but I was seated right away. I originally wanted to try the Megadon with tuna cutlet, but it was sold out, so I opted for the Special Two-Color Don instead. The negitoro was average, the salmon was not that great, and the rice was regular white rice instead of vinegared rice. I later found out that you can change it to vinegared rice for an additional 30 yen. I don't usually give low ratings, but in this case, it might be unavoidable. Perhaps my rating would have been different if I had tried the Megadon with tuna cutlet.

It was a rainy Sunday, but TOC's lunch was crowded. I noticed an open seat at this restaurant, so I decided to go in. The tables were occupied by families or TOC employees or event attendees. The counter seats had women coming and going, so I didn't mind sitting there. The service bowl was filled with rice. One slice of sashimi with two bites of rice was just right. The taste was delicious, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I would like to come back again. However, the cost performance is still at Tokyo prices.

It may not be surprisingly delicious. First of all, the rice is not vinegared. It seems like it can be made for 30 yen, but if no one tells you, you wouldn't know. I think they should try a little harder to attract customers! Please do your best! It was a meal that was very disappointing to eat!

The bicycle tire punctured. Even though there was little time left in Japan, I had to endure a little longer, but there was no choice. Even though it was after work, TOC's bicycle shop "Asahi" was still open, so I pushed my bike and walked there. I decided to just replace the valve and have dinner before heading back. This store seems to close at 8 pm on weekdays. Even though it was 5 minutes before closing, I asked the old man who seemed to be cleaning up if they were already closed, which could normally be annoying, but he kindly let me in. There were table seats and partitions made of acrylic panels inside. It had a vibe like a smaller version of family restaurants or chain izakayas. I ordered the "Service Don" (980 yen. Tuna, yellowtail, salmon, sweet shrimp, and kettle-boiled whitebait) from the menu displayed inside. I drank the cold barley tea that came out and waited. The seafood bowl here uses Nanatsuboshi rice from Hokkaido. It is served with white rice, but you can change it to vinegared rice for an additional 30 yen. The rice was elastic and delicious enough to make you want to eat it with just pickled ginger and soy sauce. The sashimi yellowtail was less fishy than the one you would buy at a supermarket and tasted much better. The kettle-boiled whitebait was soft and had a good flavor. The salmon had a rough texture and was quite good. The tuna belly was tender and had a nice mouthfeel. There are not many places around here where you can eat seafood bowls, so this is a valuable restaurant.

Nice to meet you, I'm Chappy Jinbo. I would like to request a review. This is about Maguro no Nakadaya Gotanda TOC Building store located at 7-22-17 Nishi-Gotanda, Shinagawa-ku. The store is on the basement 1st floor of TOC Building. The phone number is 03-3779-8810. The nearest stations are Gotanda Station or Osaki-Hirokoji Station. This time, I visited during lunchtime and chose the Two-color Bowl (Negitoro and Salmon) from the menu. The price is 700 yen including tax, and it comes with miso soup. The taste was neither good nor bad, just average for the price. I would have preferred vinegared rice, but it was an optional choice, so I had regular rice this time. That's about it. See you again.

A seafood restaurant located underground in the TOC building. Visited with my boss for a weekday lunch. It was a sweltering hot day outside due to a meeting nearby, so I opted for a not too hot seafood bowl. I was intrigued by the Mega Bowl prominently displayed at the entrance. Unfortunately, the Mega Bowl was sold out, so I went for the ¥1080 seafood bowl (can be upsized for an extra ¥100). It was served in about 3 minutes. The seafood pieces were quite large, which was nice at first, but the bowl itself was small, similar to the size of a mini bowl that comes with a set meal at a regular restaurant. It might be good for those with small appetites. The seafood was quite delicious. However, considering the cost-performance ratio and the amount of food, it felt like an unsatisfying lunch. Thank you for the meal.

I ordered the special sashimi bowl, but the fish slices were quite thin and lacked substance. The portion of rice was generous, but in terms of cost performance, there was nothing particularly appealing. Unfortunately, I feel like I made the wrong choice. The daily special bowl my companion ordered was also a bit of a disaster. It might be more satisfying to go for a higher-end menu with more ingredients rather than opting for cheaper options.

I was drawn in by the chirashi sushi and decided to eat here with two other people. We didn't drink alcohol, and the total cost was around 5000 yen, which was very reasonable. Chirashi Sushi for 1280 yen was a bit disappointing. The uni was there, but it wasn't very fresh. The portion size was also smaller than expected. Nakanoya-style overflowing sushi for 1200 yen was a big hit! It had a lot of ikura, negitoro, tuna, white fish, and many other toppings, making it worth more than the price. Chef's choice nigiri for 1780 yen had about 14 pieces and was very filling. It included tobiko, ikura, seared tuna, and more. The taste was also good. Seasonal sashimi for 1800 yen was delicious, especially the squid and hamachi.

[Location] 10 minutes walk from Gotanda Station, inside TOC [Time/Queue] December 26, 2019 (Thursday) 12:45, no queue [Food/Price] Today's special seafood bowl for 1000 yen [Impression] Located in the TOC building in Gotanda, this seafood restaurant is a branch of the one in Harmonica Yokocho in Kichijoji. The bowl includes salmon roe, scallops, and tuna for around 1000 yen. The taste was satisfying.

Energy replenishment before battling at the TOC building's big bargain event "Tokunomachi". Well, not going first thing in the morning already feels like losing the battle. During the Tokunomachi period, there were 6 people waiting in front of the store. But the turnover is quite good. We were able to get in without waiting for 10 minutes. They have sushi, but the main attraction is the seafood bowl. There are so many choices, it's great. I went with the daily special bowl (900 yen). It had medium fatty tuna, salmon, yellowtail, sweet shrimp, and baby sardines. At first glance, it looks like there's a lot of ingredients, but not really. The medium fatty tuna and baby sardines were okay, but the freshness of the sweet shrimp was so-so, or rather so-so-so. Even though I didn't ask for less rice, I didn't feel full. The appearance of the miso soup was nice, but the tea was cold! It's cold season, so hot tea would have been nice. The waitstaff are mostly seniors, and their smiles are comforting. "Sorry for the wait~" "Take your time choosing" They are attentive and work efficiently. Smiles are free! When I was taking photos of the food, one of them asked, "Should I join too?" Such a playful bunch~ (laughs) After this, my spoils from Tokunomachi were just one sweater.

On Monday afternoon, I wasn't feeling great, so I decided to visit "Maguro no Nakadaya Gotanda TOC Building Store". When I entered the store, I felt a bit strange, but I sat at a table and checked the menu. I was unsure of what to order, but I ended up choosing the "Today's Chirashi Bowl" (1280 yen). After placing my order, the awaited bowl arrived. It was delicious from the first bite! I hope to have the opportunity to try their dishes again, maybe even in the evening.
