Setagaya City, Tokyo, Japan｜Ultra

Cozy place with friendly staff and good food. Be sure to pick the counter seats to watch the chefs in action. Been here a few times and will be back! Definitely one of my favourite places to dine at in Kyodo.

The very best in the genre. The emblematic "ハンバーグ" is a recipe the owner got from his dad, who ran the legendary "洋食屋マック" for 30+ years in Shimo-Kitazawa. His joint was such an institution in SK that not only his son opened this very nice Kyodo place, but also another of his apprentices opened a carbon copy of his SK restaurant in Sasazuka. It's a staple of West-side Tokyo's soul food.

Delicious menu with a suite of daily specials. Everything here is too notch and the chefs really know what they're doing. Favourites so far are a cheesecake which was too delicious and a steak katsu which was beautifully crisp. Counter seats for the added fun of viewing the chefs in action. The best you could ask for in a local diner.
