This is a list of places to eat in Tokyo. Some of them are a little tricky to get into, especially the first one, so you might need a fixer or hotel concierge or a very charismatic Japanese speaking friend.

Sushi restaurant · Chūō

Top 3 sushi in Tokyo, need a fixer to make a res, but legitimately worth it

Niigata Sanpō-tei Tokyo Lab Nakameguro

Chinese noodle restaurant · Meguro

Considered the best Mapo men by Ahris (director at Atomix)
