Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan｜Hyottoko

The vibes at this restaurant are very cozy and the chef/patrons were welcoming and friendly despite us not being familiar with the menu. The grilled salmon was the juiciest salmon I’ve ever had. Great, cheap and simple food options!

Super friendly family run place, very welcoming and kind. Nice, authentic food amidst an area with lots of mixed food options.

When I started selling bento boxes at my cafeteria, I was thinking a lot about what to do with the nori bento, so I decided to come here and try the famous nori bento. Since I had it inside the restaurant, the hostess suggested I serve it on a plate instead of bento style, but I went ahead and asked for it. Not only the two-tiered rice, but also each side dish is full of gentleness that makes you feel at ease while eating, and the main dish, silver cod, is plump. I had a small amount of ``bamboo'' rice today, but it was enough. Both your stomach and heart are satisfied. It's a restaurant where you can enjoy not only Noriben but also side dishes and delicious drinks, so I hope this restaurant will continue to be here forever.
