Cosi Cosi Tokyo — Restaurant in Tokyo

Finding a restaurant in Japan, which serves meat based as well as vegan, vegetarian and gluten free food, with alcohol is extremely rare in my experience.

Cosi Cosi modern Mexican is one of those few places where I, a vegetarian as well as my meat-eating friend, could enjoy a vast variety of food. Although most of the food is Mexican inspired but they have a few fusion foods as well from other cuisines, eg vietnamese, Italian etc

We mostly had vegetarian and vegan food and it was lip-smacking.

We had nachos with harissa cheese, Mexican version of vietnamese cold spring roll which had avocados as the main ingredient (special item not on the regular menu), Mushroom balls with chimichurri, lamb kebab burrito ( not in photos) and mocha tiramisu for dessert. I also had a cranberry based cocktail which was prepared really well.

The hosts are very gracious and kind. The man and the lady explained the menu well to us, asked beforehand if we were vegetarian so we could order without any confusion. They were definitely one of the kindest and sweetest hosts I have come across in Japan.

I spoke to them in Japanese, but I believe they'll help you out even if you don't speak the language.

The restaurant is very spacious yet cozy.

Would definitely recommend for everyone no matter what the purpose; dates, get-togethers, family dinners etc.

Kudos to team Cosi Cosi for this memorable experience. Will definitely...

Interesting fusion Mexican food brought us here the previous 2 visits but yesterday was an absolutely horrendous experience . We were there for a mini celebration and I ordered margaritas as I did previously but was told they would make it ONLY if they were free although visibly, the restaurant was not running at full capacity.

Ironically, they had time to prepare and present 4 half vegetarian spring rolls at about ¥2000 for starters which we did not order. We asked for margaritas again but were given the same reply.

Beware: Drinks per person was mandatory and i tried the Mexican beer since it’s a Mexican restaurant. The foam on the beer went down in less than 1 minute so have no fear if you like flat beer. I love my drinks but after the flat beer, I quit.

We were served by trainees and also there was loud coughing from children/ child in the restaurant so the atmosphere was heavy. The pressure to order more food was also there as their regular staff said that we have to order the main pasta or risotto quickly or it would take 45 minutes to prepare. Hassle ,hassle, hassle , we had to hurry. We did.. right out the door. For this kind of price point, we should at least feel comfortable,no?

Anyway, enough said but we left the restaurant not fulfilled...

Update Dec 2023: Slightly new menu, same great flavors. The lime steak is yummy and great for sharing with a group.

Update Feb 2023: Cosicosi is still just as amazing!!! Menu changes often. Staff continues to provide some if the best hospitality you'll experience in Tokyo. And I still highly recommend the paper chicken

Update: April 2022 Cosicosi is back open! And it's as good as I remember. Great time with tasty food and excellent service. They have a new menu with an English menu. They also have 2 new specials, Korean chicken and soy sauce glazed fish.

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night, no reservation. The food menu is huge, and in english, drink menu is only in japanese. They make you buy a drink as a table charge. They have so many yummy things but we ended up getting a chicken appetizer with peanut sauce, poke salad, and mushroom risotto. The best dish by far was the salad it was so good! Great date spot. They sanitize the tables very well as soon as a customer leaves. We'll be back here very often. Friendly staff, 2 members spoke English fairly well. Vegan and gluten...
