Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan｜Nagano-ya

What a pleasant surprise when we stumbled upon this little eatery by chance when looking for lunch in bustling Shinjuku. The shop ambience felt like I had time travelled back to 50 years ago. Warm service by the one-woman-show lady and most importantly the food was delicious. Super affordable prices considering the shop is in the vicinity of posh shopping malls and expensive restaurants and bars. Will definitely visit again when we're back in Japan.

A must experience restaurant! 1 elderly woman served everyone while giving her best hospitality! I think she's doing it for decades now, Plus food are fresh and delicious. Worth any penny. No flashy gimmicks or paraphernalias, but taste, feel and the service feels traditional. Look around the walls inside to see the restaurant history. More success good health to her and her cook. 🙏🙏🙏 She will do her best to understand English no issues.

Food was delicious and the owner/staff was courteous and friendly. The place was full of customers when I visited during the weekend so I have to wait to be seated. The food did take a bit of time but it was worth the wait!
