Komagata Maekawa Asakusa Main Branch — Restaurant in Tokyo

First of all, atmosphere and view was amazing. The sashimi was also lovely Their special eel requires reservation Just tiny things that maybe threw us off a little We got eel sets but the presentation of the kabayaki set was not as advertised(separate in a big bowl), even though 2600 difference, we basically order three unigi but two were much more expensive The bill was brought to us in the middle of our meal, kind of brought enjoyment down (we did know it was an expensive place, but couldn’t enjoy as much when the bill was in our face) The taste was average considering the price and history, we went to another high end unagi shop in kyoto in the same price range, personally though their was more flavorful and fresh. This one was only warm at best when we were served. There were also more bones in the eel, which hindered the texture when they poke at ur gums(and I’m Asian) Overall was okay if you want nice atmosphere and view but food was not very worth the price...

FOOD 3 Unagi and side dishes are delicious, but I felt slightly overpriced even taking into account the setting and view. ¥2,000 for cucumber and eel is expensive. The day we went, we were told that we could only order the Large Unagi Bando Taro (their branded unagi) for ¥9,600. We did not have a choice.

There are two other unagi shops in the area that don’t have the view, but provide better value at around ¥5,000 to ¥6,000 per unagi box.

SERVICE 4 Professional, gentle ladies in kimono served us and frequently refilled our cold tea. There is some history to this restaurant that is outlined in the menu.

ATMOSPHERE 5 The restaurant is located along the Sumida River. You’ll need to remove your shoes, change into slippers and proceed to the 2F tatami mat dining room which has a lovely view of the river.

OVERALL 3.5 Overall, I think it’s a great place to take a date or have a family gathering that feels luxurious, but I probably would not go out of my way to...

Very good service with slippers and attentive staff. Atmosphere is great since the 2nd floor where the patrons sit can see the bridge and tokyo skytree. But we were seated in the corner table and couldn't see anything. The grilled unagi was good, but not that good to command 30k yen for 3pax. The unagi were cooked well but lacks flavor. There is a small bottle of teriyaki sauce i can add to the grilled unagi, but it didn't wow me or my...
