Welcome to Masaya Shokudou Restaurant

“ Very vibrant restaurant. Many office workers were there for drinks and food after office hours. They were considerate enough to arrange for us to sit outdoors away from the other customers who smoke. Since it is an Izakaya restaurant, patrons can smoke indoors. The food was ok but a little too salty. The portion was big, 2 pieces of fried Pork and Chicken cutlets, fried to perfection. Oh, there was an extra charge of ¥165 per person on top of the cost for food and drinks. This could probably be for the service charge. They have menus in English. Probably it is located in a tourist zone. A menu in English will come in handy to attract more tourists, although we were the only tourists there then. Overall, it was a good experience. ”

“ Found this place on Google Maps, as my family of 6 (including me) wanted to get away from the Harajuku crowds during lunch time—I appreciate that they were able to accommodate our bigger party! Not too long of a wait and they served decent Japanese teishoku meals like chicken katsu, katsu curry, karaage, udon, seafood, and various sashimi plates that came with miso soup and rice. Their prices were also pretty decent too for the area. ”

“ I really liked the casual vibe in this place and despite what the negative reviews here say, I found it a cool place where locals, expats and tourist alike were sitting together. food was right for the price and drinks are cheap. They advertise clearly on the door that you must order food with drinks which is fair. Not a tourist trap at all. ”

“ Stumbled across this restaurant on the way to Harajuku. The staff were friendly even though we couldn't speak Japanese. The food was yummy but we were getting food envy at the tables around us who had other dishes. ”

“ Amazing place with amazing stuff! Overall the food was delicious, we ordered tuna sashimi and it was melting in the mouth, very fresh! Also we ordered shrimp tempura set which was also delicious, the curry udon was amazing but the chicken was chewy and not so good quality! ”

“ Stumbled upon this place while trying to get away from the hectic Harajuku tourist area. Decent traditional Japanese food. Maybe be more pricier than other similar prices but it's expected for being where it is. The yakiniku set cost around 1150 yen including tax. ”

“ Found this using Google Maps and this is one of the best value food that I experienced in Tokyo for these few days. Totally worth it for the price, food quality and food portions. Note: Cash only ”

“ Arrived 12:30 for lunch. Lined up for about 15 min. Has non-smoking and smoking sections. Menu in Japanese and English. Had pork cutlet. Portion very generous. Very delicious. Highly recommended. ”
