“This place came highly recommended from a friend. Overall I enjoyed it and had a good lunch here. For the price, I think it is very lunch experience with an awesome view from the 30th floor. They have a few lunch sets you can choose from with different price point. I personally enjoyed “No. 2 set” the most. It is a tad more expensive but I was able to taste the difference in meat quality. Not a day and night difference, but I did appreciate the better quality beef. I also tried “No. 1 set” which is slightly cheaper. Still good value and the quality of the beef is not a huge gap between these two sets. Could not get the seating beside the window, where you could face the view directly while enjoying your lunch. Instead, got the table seating, however, it did not degrade the lunch experience I had. Have included two photos, one photo shows the seating at window side, and another photo shows table seating (slightly further from window) to give you an idea of the difference in view-experience. I later observed that the restaurant will “try” to seat single-person lunch goers at the window seating. That is my guess. Which is a very considerate touch. I have travelled by myself numerous times, and if I was travelling alone, then I would really appreciate the window view to enjoy my meal, since I don’t have a friend to chat with. So if you are travelling by yourself, my guess is that you might get a slightly better chance at window side seating here - but please take that with a grain of salt. Cheers!”

“[Aug 31, 2023] Best dinner we had in Japan! We made reservations online in advance. We selected a 150g wagyu course and after that plus drinks our total was 40,000 yen, so quite a lot. But it was a really fun experience. Without spoiling a lot… make sure you are physically able to go through tight spaces and stairs. Entering the restaurant was a small maze but super fun! Every single course we got there was some kind of show, even the drinks. We even got a personal magic show during dessert. There is a Photo Booth at the end too with tons of fun props. We enjoyed this dinner so much as a couple, they really put a lot of effort in the whole restaurant and every single meal. I would think kids would enjoy this just as much or more!! We got our own Japanese style private room too. The waitress and all the other staff speak English as well. If we come back to Tokyo, no doubt we will give them another visit. Worth every yen!”

“I was so, so satisfied. The atmosphere, service and taste are all the best!! There is also a Korean menu I like big eel rice bowl My husband ordered finely chopped eel rice bowl. The cucumber salad comes out right away, and it's refreshing and savory whets up your appetite a little. Soft eel, not too salty or too sweet, just right!!! fit source Clear clam soup It's perfect You can use the restroom in Jongno with a printed QR code. So it is well maintained. qr code paper is given at the store”

“Motodane is a family-run sushi workshop located in a small alley near the famous Tsukiji Market in Tokyo, Japan. It is highly popular among the locals, as evidenced by the long queues forming 20 minutes before the doors even open. The seating inside is limited, and the establishment is managed by a family who runs the place with great organization and tranquility, allowing guests to peacefully enjoy their sushi. Due to its inconspicuous storefront, most of the customers are middle-aged individuals over 50. Couples often choose to order some sake and engage in conversations while savoring their sushi, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The prices of the food are also very reasonable and affordable. In summary, if you're looking to experience authentic Japanese family-style sushi in a workshop setting, Motodane is definitely a worthwhile choice to visit.”

“This restaurant was one of the highlights of our time in Japan. Be sure to make a reservation, as they turned down many walk-ins on weekdays. Watching the chef barbecue the orders was an enjoyable experience, although your clothes might retain the smell afterward, it's worth the visit. Every dish we ordered was amazing; we wished we had room for more. I highly recommend this place!”

“Three years ago, I used to go once every one or two months, but since the coronavirus pandemic eased, the number of foreigners has increased, so it's become harder to make reservations, and the quality, size, and taste of the ingredients have declined. . terrible. I can't select the 5,500 yen course on Table Check. The 8,800 yen course is available for Saturday and Sunday lunch on Table Check, but Tabelog says - and I can't make a reservation. Ever since I started doing conveyor belt sushi, things have gotten a bit weird. It's a shame because I go there every year to eat tuna for the first time, and I've brought and introduced many people to this restaurant. It has become a restaurant that values new foreigners more than regulars lol If I'm going to go for an 8,800 yen course, I'll go to another restaurant that has better food... The additional recommended toro taku is almost 3000 yen so be careful lol”

“Lunch is a great deal! The staff at the hall are all experienced and efficient, and the turnover is quick even when it's crowded. Hamburgers are cheap and delicious, but steak is also delicious!”

“Absolutely amazing - I ate here at 7AM two days in a row during my trip to Tokyo in March. The staff was very welcoming and the sushi chef recognized me on my second day, happy to see me back. I thoroughly enjoyed it, the atmosphere was relaxed and the flavors were amazing. Best sushi I had during my trip! Highly highly recommend”

“The only kushiage I crave! Came here countless times, it’s my only option whenever I’m craving these deep fried skewers. There is something about the batter they used - it’s much lighter and thinner than the usual kushiage you’d see, giving you the perfect crunch in every bite without making you feel heavy or greasy. They taste very refined and yet priced reasonably. The ingredients/fillings range from meat and fish to vegetables and cheese. There are too many that I like here but I think my personal favorite is either garlic or asparagus. Depending on the chef you get though, sometimes the skewers might get a little more oily than usual. Still, it mostly doesn’t affect the overall meal and I always enjoy a good, filling kushiage dinner here.”

“Love this place! The energy of the band, the service and the value is unsurpassed for a 12 piece band. Liked it so much that we went for 2 consecutive nights when we were in Ginza. Highly recommended!”

“Very friendly staff that can speak English well, and has gluten free alternatives. The cooking surface is shared with gluten-containing dishes though, so up to each person for their gluten risk tolerance. Pretty fun that they livestream their chefs on YouTube, and the chefs also have big personalities that makes it fun to watch even though I don’t speak Japanese. Great air ventilation too, doesn’t feel stuffy even right next to the counter.”

“We had a full-course lunch and were very satisfied with the portion served. The waiting time is a little long for group reservation since it’s a popular restaurant. Highly recommend this restaurant for a casual lunch out!”

“Good quality meat, but left not full! Going to find a nearby place to top things up. They did have an English menu which was helpful.... But for the oric3 point I've had better!”

“Amazing pork and curry combo, as well as being excellent value for money. We had the large cutlet meal with cabbage for 1500 yen (the first item on the menu). Highly recommended.”

“You will realize why chicken gas is the main dish when you eat it. Three people ordered three different menu items and the chicken was the most delicious. If possible, go before opening to avoid waiting in line.”

“When I asked them to take out the shoes I had left with them on the way home, my black shoes were found in a dirty state. Moreover, there were many strands of hair that I couldn't tell belonged to anyone... It looked like someone's shoes had been placed on top of it. After I got home, I brushed it, but perhaps because it was suede, I couldn't get all the dirt off...Even though it had only been a week since I bought it, it was very dented. I won't be going again.”
