Ume-no-ki — Restaurant in Tokyo

It is exactly what you expect for a breakfast "diner" vibe.

Honestly, I cannot believe the long days that this couple works. I appreciated that everything was cooked fresh and they were accommodating to my needs. Given that I eat before 8 am, I am also grateful that this was open early (7 am).

The review about pancakes was misleading -- they do serve pancakes and french toast in the morning, however it is not included in the breakfast set.

All of the breakfast sets come with ham and egg, so vegans vegetarians cannot order the set. Since I do not eat meat, I went with the pancakes, which were 800 yen. Personally, I thought the pancakes were good, however I would have preferred the caramel to be served on the side, like the honey. Overall, I was satisfied with the service and freshly cooked food.

Cellular data doesn't work at many restaurants in this area, but this place offers Wifi (written right above the cashier counter). Very helpful for travelers planning their day!

We went here at around 13:00 for a late breakfast. There’s a second floor with more seats, so we went up and the lady sat us on a table that wasn’t cleaned up yet. We waited for some time for them to clean it up and when it was time to order, the old lady came up to us and I asked what was on the cheese toast in Japanese. I live and study here, so I do know how do get by in Japanese. However, her attitude was quite uninterested and bad and just said “cheese” and literally left our table to continue cleaning. When she came back after a few minutes she started speaking to me in English despite me conversing in Japanese, which was quite rude. The food was nothing special. I ordered pancakes and they were definitely a store-bought mix. Overall, wouldn’t really recommend this place, unless you’re...

An old couple running the restaurant, they got 2nd floor with more seats, but we stayed on the 1st (ground) floor with fewer patrons. Food was freshly prepared, took around 15 min for us, but worth the wait. French toast was a tad too sweet for me, but I don't have a sweet tooth, so maybe that's the reason. The potato salad on top of shredded cabbage was very yummy, egg salad full of yolk flavor. Quite a bargain in term of price too, the 2 sets caused 1080 yen (tax incl) and service was good, the old lady staff could speak some English, adequate for ordering and service. And they open v early from 7am. Overall, a hidden gem very close to a busy...
