Buta-Daigaku Shimbashi — Restaurant in Tokyo

Came here because of a youtuber name Mikey Chen. He said not only was the food delicious but the presentation was awesome too. He was right. So going in there the first thing you realize is how small the place is (11 counter seats total, I think). Then you have to go to the ticket machine to buy what you want. Then you have to wait for someone to get up because they are always busy. We went around 7:30pm. They close at 8:15pm on Saturdays. We waited about 5 mins, sat down, gave them the tickets and the food came out in 5 minutes. My wife and I both ordered the medium not knowing what to expect (They have small, medium, large, and extra large). As soon as we started eating, we said we are buying an extra order to go. Yea, it's that good! Unfortunately, thru ran out of the extra large after I bought the ticket. They had to refund me the difference between the extra large and large. If you're ever in the Ginza station area, please please please come here. They only serve one thing and it's the best thing you've ever eaten (make sure you're a pork eater because that's all they have). By the way, no pictures. I got yelled at for taking...

Tl;Dr Not for groups, brilliant grilled pork (best with chili seasoning), don't order the largest option because you'll just be defeated by the triple-portion rice.

Came during weekday lunchtime; the queue, though long, moved relatively quickly. It was slightly cramped and filled with people, but all the salarymen zombies were fully focused on finishing their bowl of heaven ASAP so it was quiet except for the sizzling of the pork and the droning of the radio.

I ordered the largest don with the regular set (vegs, half boiled egg, miso). Regretted the size order when I finished up and then realised there was still half a bowl of rice left over. No regrets on ordering the set though; the egg, once mixed into the rice, elevated it to a new level of delicious, and the veg added a nice crunch to the...

This is a small local eatery that serves a good Pork and Rice Bowl. Add some Sunnyside Up Eggs and you you got yourself a great morning to get your day going.

Walk in and find yourself a vending machine. Put your money in and select the dish/drinks you want. You're then issued a ticket. Take that ticket and lay it in the table above where you're seating and yourself some water, if you like. Once they take your ticket, sit back and in a few minutes they will have your order ready to eat. You'll get a bowl of Miso Soup to have as well. Enjoy the tender pork and egg mixed in if you choose.

Once you're done, set the discarded bowls and chop sticks on top of the table and enjoy your day. Because for 780-Yen, that was a great experience.

Fyi - "Half Fried Egg" means half fried or not all...
