Tokyo Restaurant Tips by jaypride

Restaurant Name: Hina Sushi

About 40 types of sushi to choose from in this buffet dinner for the price of 5,000 yen. You'll get another dish of sashimi / long leg crab if you add another 500 yen. The crab is worth to try. It's better if you go with a bunch of people cuz it lets you try out as many of the sushi as you can.

Favorite Dish: Uni, toro, kani miso are all good. Anago is okay.. my friends said that ikura is also great.. but I dont eat ikura.. so u might want to give it a try~

Restaurant Name: Sushizanmai in Tsukiji

We went there at about 10.. just after we had some uni rice.. we were all facinated by the fresh, tasty uni that we wanted more fresh sushi~ I thought I wasn't going to eat much as I was quite full after the uni rice.. but I ended up eating as much as I could in a dinner occation... -_-"

Favorite Dish: oo toro!!! must try!! I had 2 of them.. and felt like I had never eaten anything as fantastic in myself before~~ I actually had tears in my eyes while eating them...

Restaurant Name: Sushizanmai in Tsukiji

Another good thing about this sushi shop, other than the good taste and the comparatively low price, is the business hour: it opens 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Unlike most sushi shop in Tokyo that close before midnight, u can go there in the early morning and in the middle of the night~!

Favorite Dish: Second best dish, runner up to the toro. Very soft texture, melt in the mouth.. no fishy smell at all!!

Restaurant Name: Mo~Mo~ Paradise

Its a shabu shabu buffet shop~pay 1,500yen and for 90 mins u can eat all the beef you can!!

U can choose from shabushabu & sukiyaki.. I would say choose sukiyaki (a sweet soup base) cuz it taste better.. and more "Japanese"!

Favorite Dish: Its beef beef beef! just beef + some other veggies.. Not the best beef.. not the best environment.. but they are still good~~ and consider the price: just 1,500 yen! its worth a try!

Restaurant Name: Sweet Forest in Jiyugaoka

Everyone should know.. Japan is a dessert lovers' paradise. Everywhere u go.. u can see cake shops, dessert cafes and traditional japanese okashi shops.

And this sweet forest is ideal for dessert lovers - with 6 different dessert located in a well decorated, relaxing environment, where u can choose from all of those really good looking cakes and traditional Japanese okashi.

Unfortunately we went there on Sat and it was soooo crowded!! And it really ruined my mood to eat.. so.. go there on a week day.. and you should be able to enjoy the real joy of the dessert and the great environment.

Favorite Dish: I had a mascaphone cheese cake which was very good... and then a japanese sticky stick rice thing with cheese dressing over it.. which was also very delicious!

Restaurant Name: SERYNA Mon Cher ton ton

Apart from the delicious seafood, ther other must-have is Japanese beef teppanyaki! I found this restaurant on internet and it got quite a number of great reviews.

We got a private room and a private chef, serving just for us!! It was like watching a show while he was cooking.. 8 of us constantly making "wah~~" "oh~~" sounds.. we must've looked like some stupid idiots~! hehee..

Favorite Dish: The tender teppan steak tasted so good I dunno how to describe~~ the shrimp and scallops are also very good! even the fried rice tasted very nice~~

the only downside.. the price.. although all we could order was the cheapest course... its still by far the most expensive meal I ever had.. -_-"

Restaurant Name: SERYNA Mon Cher ton ton

After we had our dinner, we are led to a lounge area for dessert. The dessert was great but the great part was this funny old guy sat next to our table. I guess we got his attention with our loud voice and constant shooting of photos... u see he actually looked at my camera and gave a cute post~!

After that.. we saw him talking to one of the waiter and tried to gave him 5,000yen as tips.. and then we started to worry about how much tips are we going to give...
