Tokyo Sunflower Iidabashi Review Summary

Straightforward, no frills vending machine experience. Greeted with a very friendly service even though we didn’t speak Japanese, he was helpful by pointing. The food was outstanding and it was open at 830AM which is hard to find in Tokyo. The tempura (especially the fish cake and the chicken) and udon were incredible and highly recommend. Such an affordable price too! Antonio Inoki stickers on the water is a nice touch if you’re a wrestling fan.

What is the secret of making every fried one with such crispness and yummy taste?! while staying in Tokyo for 7 days, only one place I visited twice. For Westerns, you will be shocked by fried chicken. Please prepare some Japanese words before you go bc the order machine has so many buttons.

Probably the best udon I have ever eaten. The udon noodles where firm and bouncy with the right amount of topping. The length of the noodle was fantastic too, it must have been about 50cm. The tempura was absolutely delicious as well. When I paid the 650yen for the most expensive dish, I really was expecting lower quality so this absolutely blew me away. The value for money is fantastic. I'll definitely be going again but really recommend this to anyone else who is in the area.

Stumbled upon this small udon shop while walking from the park nearby to the metro and saw the good reviews. Really delicious udon and tempura that were all freshly made . It changed my partner’s perspective on udon for the better too.

Love it so much! Would highly recommend

I love this place so much. It’s cheap, fast, and amazing. Only ¥390 or ¥430 for a bowl of udon!

The udon has a great chewy texture and it’s so fresh and enjoyable. It comes with green onion, ginger, and tenkasu. I prefer the udon hot rather than cold, but they’re both great here.
I also don’t eat a lot so I haven’t eaten the tempura here. I think the portions are big and amazing for the price!!

It’s a small restaurant but with a great atmosphere. There aren’t any chairs, except for a few in the back, so be ready to stand.

Also, when you order from the machine, the workers already have your order so you don’t need to give them the small piece of paper.
