CoCo Ichiban-ya — Restaurant in Tokyo

浜松町駅及び大門駅よりアクセスしやすいところにあるCoCo壱番屋です。 周辺が繁華街で居酒屋が多く、また比較的夜遅くまで営業していることもあるため、飲み会後の簡単な食事目的で利用する客が多いように見受けられます。そのため、昼食時間帯よりも夕食時間帯の方が混雑しているように見受けられます。店内もそれ程広くなく、座席数も30席程度であるのが、そのような混雑具合にしているのかもしれません。加えて単身者向けの席構成が多く、複数人での利用はあまり向きません。それでも尚4〜5人のグループで訪れる客も多く、その多くが外国人観光客で占められているように思います。 出入り口は狭く、しかも段差があるため、車椅子等の障碍を持つ方の利用はあまりお勧めできません。 給仕される料理の質、スタッフの接客対応の質は、他のCoCo壱番屋と遜色無いように思います。

This CoCo Ichibanya is easily accessible from Hamamatsucho Station and Daimon Station. Since this restaurant is in the area that is a busy downtown area with many izakaya (Japanese style pubs) and is open relatively late at night, many customers seem to use the restaurant for a quick meal after a drinking session. Therefore, the restaurant seems to be more crowded during dinner hours than during lunch hours. The restaurant is not very spacious and has only about 30 seats, which may be the reason for this congestion. In addition, the restaurant is designed for single people and is not suitable for groups of several people. Even so, there are many customers who visit in groups of four or five, and most of them seem to be foreign tourists. The entrance is narrow and has steps, so it is not recommended for wheelchair users. The quality of the dishes served and the customer service of the staff seem to be on par with other CoCo Ichibanya...

Fast and relatively inexpensive, however the quality for the Chicken Katsu Curry was subpar. The curry sauce lacked texture and the Katsu tasted only slightly better than those from Convenience stores. Tried Coco Ichibanya in Singapore too and for once, the Singapore outlets actually tasted better. Still, this seems to be the only curry restaurant in the vicinity so if you’re craving for curry, it is...

We all ordered the chicken katsu curry which was very tasty! Even though there are 20 Spice levels, spice level 2 was already quite spicy for me who usually prefers medium spice level.

Added eggplant portion was smaller than we expected - check the pictures of portions carefully on the menu! The side order of "ripe cut tomato with garlic" was a bit odd: canned tomatoes with dried...
