I don't think the price is expensive, but the food is poor and fresh compared to the photos. At the time of payment, there were many drinks written on the slip that I didn't ask for. There weren't many customers that day, and the same clerk took the order and paid for it. The answer is that I did it on purpose, not because I didn't notice it. Because when we pointed it out, they corrected the slip as usual without apology. And the slip that was handed over again had a different drink written on it.

This is only our experience of one of the stalls so may not be the case for...
Read moreJust had to write a review as someone who has actually traveled in this region extensively. I see countless reviews here complaining about getting charge for an appetizer they didn’t order. This is a table charge. The food isn’t entirely meant to be eaten, and the charge for taking a table in a busy dining district. Some places only charge you this if you don’t get food. Either way, this charge people are complaining about is typical in every yokocho in Tokyo, and every place tells you about the charge beforehand. It is a minor price to pay for a once in a lifetime experience. As for this yokocho (food & drink alley), it is rather good. Fewer tourists than Golden Gai and Memory Lane, but not as big or...
