Spajiro Ginza — Restaurant in Tokyo

This is the second Italian restaurant we visited in Japan. We came here with my family which consist of 3 little kids. We ordered the mentaiko spaghetti, 2 of the clam spaghettis, and one of the tomato spaghetti.

First things first, we ordered way too much food. Once you pick your pasta you can also pick the portion size, we picked large on everything plus I made order a combo which came with salad, soup, a drink, and a desert. This place is great value for a big family

Salad The salad that came with the combo was good, it’s a ginger base dressing

Soup The soup is fished based and came with small bits of tempura. It was very good

The Desert We ordered the Yuzu Gelato, it was very good and had small bits of yuzu peel inside

Mentaiko Spaghetti It was delicious and very buttery with a hint of garlic delicious.

Clam Spaghetti This one was my favorite, it came with a broth made of garlic, butter, and wine.

Tomato Spaghetti My kids loved this one, it was only ok to me, sauce is on the sweeter side

This place was great, especially for larger parties. If you are looking for more traditional Italian spaghetti this isn’t it, but if you’re looking for Japanese fusion spaghetti this place is awesome.

Closest restaurant to this in SoCal is Spoonhouse in Gardena which is also a place worth...

this was not my first time here but this will surely be my last time.

the server was awful. he showed us to a table of 4 that didn’t have enough space because the neighboring table had big bags and were not moving them. ran away without helping us. we proceeded to sit at the adjacent table, server came back and yelled at us in japanese saying that we aren’t allowed to move over table because of future customers. as if we didn’t matter and aren’t current paying customers? my group is visibly foreign but we speak fluent japanese because we live here. when i pointed out the neighboring table’s huge bags and lack of space in japanese he proceeded to slam our drinks on our table one by one. actually slam. he never came back and then sent the chef to wait on our table instead.

how do you have staff in ginza that doesn’t want to help foreign customers and will yell in japanese when they think that their foreign customers cannot respond? completely unacceptable.

spaghetti...

If you love pasta....this is the perfect spot for some amazing fusion style pasta. It's Japanese style pasta and it's amazing and cheap. You can eat a great meal for $10. There are a ton of options too so there is something for everyone. There are many locations spread around Tokyo too so it's easy to find plus they are open fairly late.

Pasta is served perfectly al dente and each batch is cooked to order.

The place is small and cozy. Service is quick and I love that you can sit at the bar and watch them prepare the dishes.

There is a section of more Japanese style pastas like uni and mentaiko (cod roe) and there is a Western section with more American tomato based sauces and cream sauces.

They also let you choose your size for the pasta at no extra cost- small, medium or large. Only XL size is an extra charge.

Everything I've eaten here has been delicious. This is a must hit spot for me in Japan for...
