Udagawa Naru - Shibuya City

渋谷で美味しいお肉を食べさせてくれる評判のお店と聞いて訪問。予約なしだったので厳しいかと思いきや、ぎりぎり間に合いました。後続の方々には、「ごめんなさい。」をされていたので、本当にラッキーでした。数品を頼みましたが、評判通りに美味しい肉を堪能しました。お勧め、お好みは、和牛のたたき、サーロインステーキの2品。複数人で行くのなら、躊躇なく両方頼んでも量の心配なく食べられます。お代わりしたくなりますよ。そして、こちらも大評判の卵焼き。トッピング、出汁、卵の種類と選択肢が多すぎて悩みましたが、まずはシンプルにトッピングなし、出汁はあっさり、卵はスタッフさんのお勧めに従った内容で挑戦。ふんわりとろける美味しさは、こちらも評判通り。横を通る他者の注文でイクラトッピングを見ると、イクラがこんもり。次は絶対、いくらです。その他、野菜を使ったメニューや、とんぺい焼きも堪能。まだまだ焼き餃子や、アヒージョ、トーストなどなど魅力的なメニューがいっぱい。通わざるを得ないお店になりそうです。店の真ん中にあるオープンキッチンでシェフが一人で捌いているのが大変そうに思ってしまいました。

Try the mushroom avocado plate, it's amazing.

Tastes became bad a little than last time. But still nice.

Fantastic food. Friendly staff. Nuff said.

This restaurant was right next to our Airbnb and although we could not find too much about it online in terms of reviews, we decided to give it a shot. We are so happy we did, because it was such a charming little hidden gem tucked away on a side street in Udagawacho and it deserves a lot more attention than what it currently has! The staff in the restaurant did not speak English, however they handed us an English menu the moment we walked in (with pictures of the various dishes), and they were incredibly warm and welcoming. Note that there is a 400 yen/person cover charge, which includes a small appetizer (salad). We were lucky enough to be seated right in front of the teppan grill, where we could interact with the chefs (in broken Japanese) and watch them work their magic. Although there was a language barrier, they were joking around with us and seemed to be having a great time. It was clear they put a lot of passion into what they do and that they enjoy their work, which added to our excellent experience. The dishes were all small share plates which allows you to order several. Between two of us, we managed to try five in total: the mixed sashimi plate, gyoza, beef tataki, pork okonomiyaki, and the potato salad topped with egg and (what I think was) crab meat. Everything we ate was prepared fresh and was an explosion of flavour. The beef tataki in particular was delicious and melted in our mouths. We could see the piece of beef before it went on to the grill to be seared, and it was a perfectly marbled, beautiful piece of beef. The okonomiyaki was also a very interesting combination of flavours, including egg, ginger, cheese, scallions, pork, a brown sauce, and dried fish flakes. Although this sounds like a very random combination of ingredients, they married together so well and every bite had the perfect balance of sweetness, saltiness, and umami. The restaurant's décor was traditional Japanese (including a few tables where you could sit in the traditional fashion on cushions), however there was a modern look to it. This was one of our favourite experiences in Tokyo, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tasty and reasonably priced meal in Shibuya.

There were 10 of us with 2 kids and we booked the 7 course meal with unlimited drinks for 5000 yen. The portion is ridiculously small, 1 person gets 1 small cube of beef. It’s almost like the portion was divided by 3. They definitely DID NOT give us 10 adult potions. The service for food was slow as well. A few food options on the menu were sold out at 7:55 pm. The place did not accept Amex cards as well. And they chased us out right on the dot at 9pm. I will NOT go back to this place as it is a rip off, so disappointing.

Amazing izakaya food in Shibuya. Off the beaten path but great vibes and food is delicious. All very good Japanese comfort food with a menu that has pics and English. Highly recommend.

We came here on a rainy day when we saw they had some of the better reviews for the restaurants in the area. A TOTAL HIDDEN GEM. The dishes are small and full of taste and delight. We ordered the mushroom and avocado dish- served warm and full of taste, fully recommended. The smoked chicken, the steak, the egg with potatoes, fried rice, and the napoleon spaghetti- all delightful, the mushroom and avocado coming at the top of our list. The egg roll is a literal roll of flattened eggs, it was fluffy, not as tasteful as other dishes. The tea cocktails are tea with a shot of liquor- tastes mostly like spiked tea, fun. We LOVED this experience, service was fast and great, the people are young and good at what they do. You can watch the chef cook your food right there behind the bar area. THANK YOU FOR SUCH A DELICIOUS EXPERIENCE!
