Oidon Nishishinjuku — Restaurant in Tokyo

As far as an izakaya tapes style venue ... three storeys, stay away from the ground floor ... bar style and booths, if you are a solo or duo diners, you'll have no choice. 2nd floor is a western table and chairs dining set-up, and 3rd floor is a raised floor Tanami set up with a well underneath, if you are not small/medium, trying to fir more than 6 people is going to be a challenge, very small room and loud ... which can be fun.

Watch out for the steep stairs!

Service is a bit different than usual ... a bit rough and abrupt, we were told, min. 1 drink and 2 dishes per person ... not an issue, however, some dishes were like mains sizes, English menu helps, however it can be very complete order and you have to use the QR code to order, and some juat words in Japanese, not even a picture.

Our waiter was pleasant and attentive ... just don't speak much English, just Japanese.

But that's not the issue ... food looks very ordinary, some were overcooked and burnt; gyoza on a hotplate, tough calamari tenticles, etc. Bills seem higher for tapas style ....and not much food and sake (about ¥900-1000).

Not so good late night...

We went here pretty late but the service, atmosphere and food were all great! Loved the jazz music and the vibe of the restaurant thanks to all the alcohol bottles and wooden interiors. Loved their dumpling soup and the tuna was...

A Little gem of a place. Traditional style inside and out - many locals and few others. An absolute pleasure talking eat true Japanese food away from the lights of Shinjuku. Not over priced and amazing 🍣. Could have spent all...
