Shisha Tokyo — Restaurant in Tokyo

Long overdue review!

This is without a doubt the best shisha spot in Tokyo. Heck, from my personal experiences it's the best spot for shisha in the entire world.

Words cannot truly express how much I love this place, but I'll try my best. First of all, the hookah is always perfect if that's what you're concerned about... But that's only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this place.

It's a bar style shisha lounge that serves alcoholic beverages. Drinks are always on point, and they go well with the shisha. You are guaranteed to feel at home. Vincent (the owner) is a wonderful dude. He will make your day just by talking to you. If you ever get the opportunity to sit at his table, take him up on it. :)

Rates at the time of writing this review is 2000 yen for a hookah with the standard flavors, and 3000 yen for the premium tobacco. The premium tobacco is a strong recommendation if you can afford the extra pennies. If you're unsure what to order, ask one of the staff for their recommendation, and you won't regret it. My personal recommendation if you're on a budget is Orange + Vanilla + Rose for the standard shisha. As for the premium tobacco, it's always changing. So keep an eye out!

Every time I visit Japan this is the first stop I make. It honestly becomes routine to end my hectic days here. I'm not even ashamed to say I come here more than 7 times a week... But that may be because I tend to book my airbnb in Okubo. It becomes a convenient luxury.

I cannot wait to come back.

I’d give 10/5...

The only thing I regret about coming to this place is that should've found it sooner!

I have been to several shisha places in the city and this is by far the best place around.

Service: By far the best service a customer would expect. Shisha and drinks are prepared in a matter of minutes, and staff are always available. You can see that the staff enjoy working here, and they are consistent. I have been to other places and staff always change from one week to the other.

Equipment: Always clean, well preserved, high quality. The machines are and look expensive, and this shows how the owner cares about the product he offers.

Shisha: The tobacco is of high quality and lasts for hours without the taste fading. The owner and staff change the coals regularly keeping the smoke clean and strong at all times.

Space: Well organized space with middle-eastern style carpets, leather sofas, and deem lights that create a chilling atmosphere. A projector playing modern music MVs on a large wall.

Access: Easily accessible from the Okubo station (1 min) or Shinjuku station after a 10...

The best and affordable hookah in town if you ask me. The guy who owns this place is of Turkish descent and is a wonderful person to talk to. He goes by the name Atesh a.k.a Vincent (hope I got the spelling right!). The place has a very relaxed feel to it and with a really good hookah (some flavors I never had before!) that he makes, makes it a perfect place to unwind. It is in a quaint little alley and easily found via google maps.

Vincent made our very first trip to Japan a memorable one. I ended up at the place almost every day in our 2 weeks long trip, so you can imagine the love I have for this place.

The hookah itself was really good and quite smooth. It easily lasts for an hour without coal change and another hour after the coal has been changed! I had so many different mix of flavors that everyday I had recommendations from Vincent or the customers.

Wherever you are in Tokyo, make sure to visit Shisha Tokyo!!! This place...
