LIKE — Restaurant in Tokyo

I came here for the desserts. Peanut cream choux was big and tasty but it barely had any peanut flavor. If you order because of the peanut cream, don't. Carrot lemon cake was good too. I didn't really tasty any lemon but I liked the spice mix in it. I think Americano was light roast and had a fruity flavor. I personally prefer deeper taste, but it was not bad. I really like the interior and the atmosphere at this place. Somewhat cool, chick, and rustic, all at the same time. Be noted that the cafe is on...

The signature dessert here is peanut chou à la crème and it was with those high ratings from everyone. The best balance of the flavor of peanut and cookie cranchy-ness was perfect. The ambience was also very relaxing but the first server that I talked was a little unfriendly and also I had to order one drink and all the drinks were kind of expensive, which were unexpected.

modern Chinese•hidden gem•thoughtful details

LIKE on Platinum Street in Shirokane is one of those rare places you find yourself returning to. The menu reimagines Chinese cuisine with a modern twist — every dish is beautifully crafted, yet served with the casual ease of a café, creating a delightful contrast.

The interior is cozy yet stylish, with shelves of vinyl records, a small live music space, and a high-ceiling area with a drink counter and natural light. Tables are spaced just right, offering both comfort and privacy.

Highly recommend the mapo tofu — it’s one of the best I’ve had anywhere. Even their iced oolong tea uses premium leaves, showing how much attention goes into the smallest details.

The tofu pudding (douhua) dessert is also excellent — silky, light, and subtly sweet. Honestly, I hesitate to share this place… it feels like a secret too good to give...
