Uoriki — Restaurant in Tokyo

A little stressful eating here as a foreigner. Male boss asked if I spoke Japanese or Chinese. I said English. And they do have an English menu. Now the problem is you have to choose the "placard" of the food you are eating which was hanging at the side of the entrance. Which is in Japanese. You can't just point at the menu and order. I used Google lens to compare the menu and the Japanese words. You have to place the "placards" on your table. The boss seems annoyed while settling my orders. I'm not sure why. After the food was served, the vibe got better. The food was great. Best mackerel I have ever eaten. Rice was free flow and delicious. The sauce wasn't very salty. Miso soup had little clams in them. For foreigners I strongly recommend coming in small groups like solo/pairs, it's less of a hassle and big groups might take a long time to order or decide especially if you can't speak or read Japanese.

We have ordered few two set and two side dishes: Mackerel (さばみで煮)is sooo delicious！！！I ate the fish bone too. It is so yummy. Sashimi is fresh n each of them are cut in thick pieces. Miso soup is full of seafood shell taste (鮮味). Very delicious. The side dish, Potato salad and明太子 are very tasty as well. You can refill the rice or soup. But have to finish everything otherwise they may charge you ¥5500 😂 None of the shopkeepers speak other language other than Japanese. But they do hv English menu and they try their best to explain to you. They are very patient and nice. They prepare their food with heart and expect ppl respect their food as well.

8 months later, I have chance to have lunch in the same shop. Super nice and cheerful. Their food is very delicious still. They have combo meal with sashimi and special Mackerel. ...

This is a down to earth fish specialty restaurant that serves the best miso marinated fish you will ever eat. The miso saba stomach bursts with umami and is broiled to perfection. The bones have been broiled to a juicy meat like texture all whilst maintaining enough rendered oil in the flesh of the fish to provide a kind of drug like rush to your brain as everything comes together with each bite. Service is standard nice japanese service though nothing over the top as it seems largely family owned. Rice and miso soup are eat to your fill though there's a charge for leftovers. Business is good and they seem to sell out often before the end of lunch each day. I have yet to have caught lunch early enough to try any of...
