Chiyoda City, Tokyo, Japan｜Gara

When one is in Tokyo and has Japanese noodles on one night, and Tempura on an another night, it is lovely to break things up by having a Thai meal. This restaurant, while somewhat challenging to find (the front doors were slid closed, so we walked circumferentially around the structure that contained this restaurant (and others), looked at diners eating Thai food in the rear of the restaurant, then walked "around the small block" and found the front doors again, which we slid open and entered - travel is an experience! Once in we were enthusiastically greeted by the proprieterness and promptly seated in a semi-private table. Having the advantage of being an omnivore, I ordered the chicken with cashews and rice, along with a Singha (which I prefer to Tiger), and my Vegan collesge ordered vegetables with rice. And a Singha. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals, but once again I think my dish was better than hers. Service was great, price emminently reasonable, and the food was authentic and delicious. Definitely going back when I'm again in Tokyo.

The “Gomoku Ankake Fried Rice” here is delicious! The quantity has decreased compared to before the coronavirus, but I'm relieved that the taste hasn't changed.

Kakuni fried rice is very delicious!
