Village Vanguard Diner Shimokitazawa

We were visiting ShimoKitazawa and wanted to grab something like a burger. After a quick search, we came across Village Vanguard Diner. It was located down a set of stairs.

I must say that I dig the vibe of the diner. It definitely has a personality that is somewhere between a dive bar and tgi fridays. Lots of americana on the walls and other decor with older cartoons on the tvs.

The burger was quite good. Alot of flavor and very satisfying. By default, the sets came with a type of homestyle fried potato. I opted to get shoestring fries. I found them interesting as they had an almost funnel cake texture and flavor.

I also got a chocolate shake, but rather than a milkshake, it was more of a frozen chocolate drink. So, a little less smooth and richer chocolate flavor. Not bad but definitely not the type of milkshake you expect at a diner like this.

Overall, it was a great stop if you are feeling a more american far with chill vibes.
