Hyakumi Restaurant — Restaurant in Tokyo

I am American, first and foremost. I am in Japan for a summer internship, and I am only just down the road from Hyakumi.

The first time I encountered Hyakumi, I was walking back from the store. It kept catching my eye, so I went to look at the posted, simplified menu out front. Despite not knowing ANY Japanese aside from "Sumimasen", "Kudasai" and "Gomen Asai", I decided to give it a shot.

When I went in, only one man was working, and there was a father and son seated toward the back of the restaurant. I ordered a dish that looked like ramen and some dumplings, and then later a gin, and I enjoyed the atmosphere of the conversation between the man and the family, the TV playing, and just a... home-like vibe. The food? Delicious. That noodle dish was so good, enough for me to try and say so in really poor Japanese. The gin? Cold and tasty. I felt confident that if I needed something I could ask too.

Since that day, it has been roughly 3 weeks and I go there regularly. I dragged some friends there, and they said it was delicious. I go there by myself all the time. The woman who works there is just lovely - very kind and patient, especially with my nonexistent Japanese and my weird translator app. The man always makes sure to greet me and say good bye, and it makes my entire day.

I love the food that is cooked with passion and tastes like a fancy home-cooked meal with soooo much flavor, with a lovely atmosphere and nice people as a bonus.

I adore Hyakumi, so please give it a chance! Especially if you are American...

Tasty food but certainly nothing special. Seems like it would be pretty easy to make a similar dish from one’s home kitchen for a fraction...

いつも整体院の近くのこのレストランは多くの人が利用している事を知っていたので、試してみることにしました。 昼食時に訪問し、ほとんどがオフィスワーカーが頻繁に訪れていることに気づきました。 顧客の絶え間ない流れは、それが人気のあるスポットであることを示唆していると思います！ メニューはご飯によく合う料理でいっぱいで、ご飯のおかわりが無料だったという事など、とてもいいものでした。 もちろん、食べ物はとても美味しかったです。スタッフの方は効率的で気配りがあり、私が直接呼ばなかったのですが、それに気づいてくれて注文を取っていただきました。 感謝しています。間違いなく...
