Alley Cats — Restaurant in Tokyo

I'm always on the hunt for a good smash burger in Tokyo. I think I found it. This place is great. Two things annoyed me from making it the perfect lunch experience. On the right side of the restaurant is a covered bench. This is where you need to wait in line, it's very narrow and the back of the line is inside so you'll need to crawl over people to get to the back.

They take your order while in line, efficiency! We love it. I was annoyed that we had to order a drink and the soda was ¥500. I know the same ginger ale is only ¥150 in the store.

this is a very popular cafe that having a queue even at breakfast time! i waited for about 30mins before got in. the place wasn't too big and tables were put quite close to each other. i had a avocado omlette (open toast) with lots of cherry tomatoes at the top. it looked very colourful! it's flavoured with italian vinegar and olive oil on top, and some seasonings, but i think it covered the original taste of local eggs. it was a big plate! since the shop was very busy, people come and go, so the atmosphere didn't allow me to sit longer.
