Sushi Dokoro Asanogawa — Restaurant in Tokyo

I went to this restaurant on my first night in Tokyo because of the number of good reviews. The restaurant was a little difficult to find, but you access it from a door in the lobby of the train station which reads "restaurants". I sat at the bar and watched as the sushi was made. The food was certainly elegant and nicely presented. But, the quality was just on par with other sushi restaurants I ate in during my stay that were a fraction of the cost. The one exception was the salmon roe which was amazing and better than elsewhere. One of the sushi chefs was friendly and explained what everything was. The other kept scowling and indicating I was doing something wrong which was unpleasant since I didnt know what it was and he couldnt tell me and it ruined the experience. Overall, nice place, excellent presentation, nice service except for that one chef, but bad value for what you get. I woudnt recommend it based on the cost or if you dont like someone scowling at you...

Excellent excellent food. Chef is extremely knowledgeable about food and his work, plus really entertaining co-Chef - somehow made these strictly technical food more approachable, ready to be experienced. Sashimi carefully knifed and shell meat smashed against board to curl up and lively. Despite of the tone cold receptionist, which can be real intimidating, the whole experience is surprisingly filled with warmth understanding and joy thanks to the entertaining sushi Chefs. Thanks 🙏 to thoughtfully prepared sushi and the entire experience. Will definitely...

Was tight for time so we could not do the kaiseki sets, instead did one of the normal sets. Food was well prepared and presented, good value for money for your first taste of high grade omakase sushi experience.

Service was on point and staff had translation material to handle explaining the food and type of fish in English.

Type of sushi was edomae style, so classical presentation, no aburi, fancy cuts etc.

Please make reservations if coming during peak hours. We walked in before the lunch crowd but it was fully booked and made a reservation for...
