Even though this restaurant is famous by eel, we came for the lunch menu and did not order eels. And the cuisines surprised us a lot, the Ten-don was tasty and not expensive. It quite worth to re-visit if you want to find a real store for a Japanese lunch instead of vendor or fast food.

We found this restaurant by random because we didn’t expect to have lunch here. After we made decision to walk in. They welcome us with green tea to refresh us before we started to order. I picked the famous menu of the place that is grilled unagi. And it was the best grilled unagi I never have. It was very delicious, unagi was fresh, sweet and juicy. It was right amount of sauce. It served with good miso soup. And one of the best of this restaurant was the services. Strong recommend!

Quiet relaxing restaurant nearby Sensō-ji. The sweetest people running this restaurant, and we felt like we've never had unagi rice before now, it was eye opening! So so good, and I've eaten at the highest rated unagi restaurants in Japan before! A must try if you're in Tokyo!
