Chibachan Ikebukuro

Where To Eat When You’re Visiting Tokyo - Tokyo - The Infatuation

"For a last-minute dinner in the middle of Shibuya, Chibachan is your answer. While there have been many modern izakayas opening up in Tokyo recently, this one is laid-back, affordable, can accommodate larger groups, and is guaranteed to be a good time. At the heart of that good time is their karaage yacht, which is a super-sized wooden boat carrying over 40 pieces of crisp chicken. They also have trough-style servings of edamame, and a reasonably priced all-you-can-drink option that makes for a memorable night out. There are five locations throughout the city, mostly located in busy areas like Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Ikebukuro. While we’ve walked in without a reservation before, reserve a table to avoid any waiting." - kiera wright ruiz
