Mellow.aobadai Review Summary

We stuck gold ! Absolutely fantastic food with a chill vibe, not too up or down scale . Great place for a date, meal alone ,or with friends. The hamburger plate includes a tender juicy and subtle classic Japanese hamburger. The curry is a knock out with tremendous gentle, and well developed flavor, much like an Indian keema . A ferociously good gorgonzola cheese cake followed the wonderful meal. I am already planning to come back for dinner .

The food all taste very ordinary. Wine by glass tastes really bad. I cannot understand why the review is so high here, very disappointed. The food quality compared to the price is low.

A stylish bistro located in Aobadai, between Ikejiri Ohashi Bridge and Nakameguro.

The interior of the store is decorated with dried flowers, and the lighting is dimmed making it a stylish space.

I often see it on Instagram, so I think it's a popular place for dates and girls' nights out.

This time I made a reservation from Tabelog about 2 weeks in advance.
It's easy to make a reservation.

We ordered a variety of dishes a la carte and shared them among the three of us.
It cost about 9,800 yen per person including 8 dishes, 3 glasses of wine per person, and dessert.

I don't remember much about the taste, but I think they were all delicious.

There was an assortment of the following 5 types.

The fig butter was especially delicious!
It's large and satisfying ◎

On this day, the raw ham and pickled ham were sold out, so I asked them to change it to the herb breadcrumbs.

A large milt is purring!

I didn't really notice much of the mullet, and the overall taste was mild.

big!

I didn't really feel the gorgonzola flavor.

☑︎ Strawberry fresier ￥900

I learned about the restaurant through food expert Ryuji's SNS, and visited him at a New Year's party.
All the food was delicious, especially the tartare. I don't know what it is, it was like eating a raw hamburger, and even though it was raw meat, it had a satisfying flavor that gave it a junky feel, and it went really well with the baguette.
The milt, liver mousse, and mushroom salad were all delicious and went well with the drinks. There are some menu items that I haven't tried yet, so I would like to visit again.

I used it for a year-end party with friends. The steamed oysters were especially delicious! They look like raw oysters, but since they've been steamed, they don't have that seaside smell and are easier to eat than raw oysters! It comes with tomatoes, dill, and ponzu sauce, and all of them were delicious, so I recommend ordering three types. There was a good selection of wine, so I think drinkers will be satisfied.
