KICHIRI akihabara — Restaurant in Tokyo

Visited 2025/04

Went here with my girlfriend on our last day in Japan and we regret it.. That we didnt come sooner!! It was almost without a doubt the best food we had during our stay.

We made a reservation because the day we wanted to go was already fully booked and when we came inside the employee at the front desk asked us kindly to remove our shoes and put it in one of their many lockers. Afterwards a staff member came and guided us to our seat next to the window, we liked how open but still secluded it was.

They work with a QR code system to order so we went and ordered many things that looked good. From the deep fried oysters, addicting broccoli to the different meat and crab menu items they had Every. Single. One. Was. Good!

The staff were also really friendly and had a chat a couple times with us, also sometimes in their best english which was pretty good

Will definitely come here many more times if im there and is a restaurant to recommend...

Absolutely disappointing experience. We made a reservation for dinner expecting a pleasant evening, but it turned out to be a disaster. The restaurant was filthy—the tables and floors were visibly dirty (see attached pictures). On top of that, the place was extremely noisy, making it hard to even have a conversation.

The order button at our table was broken, and despite signaling multiple times, the waitress completely ignored us. When we finally managed to place our order, the food took an unreasonably long time to arrive. Sadly, it wasn’t worth the wait. The dishes were poorly prepared—the meat was tough and chewy, and the rice was burnt, making it inedible.

Overall, this was one of the worst dining experiences we’ve ever had. Between the noise, the dirt, and the bad food, I wouldn’t recommend this...

The restaurant's sleek and contemporary design creates a sophisticated and upscale atmosphere, a departure from the typical Akihabara aesthetic. The menu features a variety of contemporary Japanese dishes, including creative small plates, grilled skewers, and larger dishes perfect for sharing. While KICHIRI is a bit on the pricier side for an izakaya, the stylish ambiance, attentive service, and well-executed dishes make it a worthwhile choice for a special occasion or a more upscale dining experience in Akihabara. It's a good option for those seeking a more refined and modern take on the...
