Top 10 Tokyo Restaurants - 6-5 07.05.08
6. Ninja Akasaka
If you want to have your food served to you by a bloke dressed up as ninja, there are not too many options. Thankfully Ninja in Akasaka fits the bill. Normally I wouldn’t go in for this themed restaurant malarkey but unlike other themed restaurants in Tokyo the food is really good, and our ninja was rather amusing, performing an array of “ninja tricks” whilst bravely battling with the English language.
Mind you, the nice food and accompanying ninja shenanigans don’t come cheap with set courses ranging from around £35 to a ridiculous £150.

5. Coco Curry
Delicious, katsu curry barrels unashamedly in at 5 in the form of Coco Curry. Like MOS burger this is a huge chain in Japan but surprisingly few in Tokyo however there is one in Shibuya.
They used to have a challenge where if you could eat 1300g of curry and rice in 20 minutes you got the meal for free. Sadly this no longer exists, but with chicken katsu curry costing only £4 it’s not a deal breaker.
