ELMO エルモ — Restaurant in Tokyo

Visiting Elmo’s Sea Kitchen is not just a dining experience; it’s a dive into a flavorful sea adventure, named after the beloved character from Sesame Street. Decked out in its signature white uniform, the staff greets you with warmth and enthusiasm, eager to share the essence of their culinary expertise.

The restaurant specializes in seafood, sourced directly from the rich waters of Hokkaido. The cooking techniques are a harmonious blend of Italian and Japanese cuisines, creating a menu that’s both innovative and comforting. We tried three distinct dishes, each leaving a lasting impression:

Fish and Clams: The fish is pan-seared to perfection and then slow-cooked for 40 minutes, mingling with fresh clams and other seafood. The result is a depth of flavor that layers the natural sweetness of the sea in each bite.

Japanese Scallion and Garlic Bread: This dish brings a twist to the traditional with its use of bold Japanese flavors paired with crusty bread, creating a rich textural experience.

Fresh Vegetable Salad: A refreshing addition to our meal, complementing the rich seafood with crisp, fresh greens.

After a fulfilling meal, the payment process was smooth, and to top it off, a thoughtful gesture from the staff as they escorted us to the door and gifted us a small token of appreciation.

Elmo’s Sea Kitchen truly stands out not just for its culinary delights but for its exceptional service, making every guest feel special. A must-visit for seafood lovers and those who appreciate a meal crafted with care...

Food's amazing !! Especially the dishes with seafood. The mussels and fishes are super fresh and tender. Stock's out of the world lovely. Would highly recommend the place to any Italian/French cuisine fanatics. Despite the language barrier, service staff went the extra mile to translate his sentences using an app. We were also greeted by his warm hospitality; he makes good recommendations and did frequent check-ins. The chefs are awesome peeps too; friendly and just so good at...
