Grill Bon Review Summary

Cool small shop serving beef sandwiches. The place is very small for groups so I suggest you come here solo or max 2 people. More like an afternoon snack (for me) due to the portion sizes, but they do offer set lunches.

Popped in for a quick lunch before exploring Tokyo. The shop itself is small and cozy, with bar seating and you are able to see your food being made right in front of you. We tried the prawn sandwich and the wagyu sandwich both of which were so delicious and flavorful. Definitely hit the spot after a 3 hour Shinkansen!

If you had to eat in one city for the rest of your life where would it be? Most people who know what they’re talking about will say, Tokyo. And after eating around the world and experiencing countless types of cuisines I can understand why. Take this small, humble sandwich shop. They serve two things and two things only. Wagyu Katsu Sando and Deep Fried Prawn Sando. Don’t let this humble establishment fool you though, the chefs attention to detail is unmatched. The care they put into each and every sandwich is unbelievable. One bite in and I’m memorized. The sauce, the perfectly toasted bread the fresh Wagyu. Nothing can make me feel like this, not even the cheap massage down the street with the nice lady at the desk makes me feel this good. Get the full serving, order a drink with it, talk to the chefs, become one with the restaurant.

One of the best meals I’ve had in Tokyo so far. The “not-so-good” pointers are:

- it’s cash only. There’s a 7-eleven nearby if you need an ATM.
- There are only about 7-8 stools to sit. It’s just a bar style type of setting, no tables.
- It’s pricey.

The good stuff:
- The service is A+. There are maybe 5 members of the staff, all of them were friendly and mindful. For instance, the guy doing the dishes was so quiet that you wouldn’t even know he’s there doing dishes.
- The premium wagyu sandwich is really good. Like it melts in your mouth good.
- We came at lunch time on a weekday. It was not busy.

The lunch set comes with a drink (i.e. coffee, tea) and a tiny salad.

Located in Ginza, not far from Aloft hotel.

Went on a day where they only had take away since it was cultural day. The half portion is PLENTY if you want to try two options. We tried the Waygu and the Prawn and they were delicious.
