Monjakoma And Nakameguro Teppanyaki Izakaya

We came in here as a plan B, but it turned out to be A+

The staff were friendly and welcoming to us as foreigners with little to no Japanese language. They don’t have an English menu but that actually helped us learn to say some Japanese words with the help of google translate and the staff. The food was excellent, favourites were the pickles, the oyster dish, the yakisoba was the best we’ve ever had and we also loved the cheesy Tokyo specialty dish. Very reasonably priced. Arrive hungry!

I will forget this place. We stumbled upon it by accident. I couldn't communicate with the staff as they didn't speak my language, so I had to order by pointing at the menu. However, the staff was great and accommodating. To my surprise, I ordered several items unintentionally, but it turned out to be a happy mistake because all the dishes were delicious.

Yummy

The cheerful staff makes the monja skillfully.
Teppanyaki, a local favorite where each dish is carefully crafted.

We made a reservation by phone at 18:30 during Golden Week and visited for two.
It's a compact shop with two tables in the back and a counter. Every seat has a griddle, so you can enjoy hot, freshly cooked food.
Since it was during Golden Week, many customers came without reservations, but the restaurant was full and some customers couldn't get in. It seems to be a popular restaurant, so it might be a good idea to make a reservation before visiting on a holiday or the day before a holiday.

Another point that I would like to highlight is the customer service of the staff.
Very friendly and kind customer service. She is very attentive in answering even my curious questions and has a wonderful smile. Also, when I told my senior that a new part-time worker was busy and panicked, he kindly reassured her that it would be okay, which left a good impression on me. Personally, I don't like restaurants that use harsh words to describe their staff, so I was left with a particularly positive impression. The owner of the shop also has a workmanlike personality, but when I talked to him, he seemed very soft-spoken and had a wonderful smile.

This time I ordered:
Seared cucumber
Steamed chicken with salted green onions
Oysters grilled in foil with ponzu sauce
Sunaduri teppanyaki butter and soy sauce
Thick-sliced ​​beef tongue covered in green onions, grilled on an iron plate
Mentaimochi Cheese Monja + Baby Star Topping

I especially liked the sand zuri, beef tongue, and monjayaki.
Dishes grilled luxuriously on a teppanyaki grill are more enjoyable than anything else, and can be enjoyed both with the eyes and ears. The sound of the monjayaki being made by hand and the sound of the okashaki is also the best.

Therefore, when I see other customers' pottery right in front of me, I can't help but get curious. If I had a little more room in my stomach, what would be the specialty I would have eaten?

Komayaki (grilled with original shungiku scissors)
Chewy thick noodles Yakisoba

Especially when it comes to yakisoba, once an order is placed, the raw noodles are thoroughly boiled in a large pot, and then the freshly boiled noodles are grilled on a griddle. The yakisoba, which looks so chewy, is a must-order next time I come.

The two of us ordered about 6 drinks and the bill was around 10,000 yen. Considering it's a teppanyaki restaurant, I felt that the pricing was quite reasonable and good value for money. (Credit card payment possible)

It was a wonderful shop that I would definitely like to visit again!
Thank you for the meal!

A shop called ``Komato'', which specializes in Monjayaki, is located in Nakameguro, Tokyo.
This shop has 14 types of monja, and you can even customize them yourself, calling them original monja! ! When I actually went there, I ate Biferkaku Monja, Mentaimochi Cheese Monja, and Miso Ramen Monja! All are exquisite! ! ! It also had the feel of an izakaya with a very nice atmosphere and alcoholic drinks! ! You can also use it as a date dinner! It's best to order yakisoba for the final meal. There are three types of yakisoba: sauce, salted garlic, and pork kimchi.I had the salted garlic, and it was a very delicious yakisoba that I could eat even if I was full! ! I will definitely come again. I highly recommend it to everyone.
