Hantei - Skewers & Sake restaurant

Came here for lunch with a reservation, which I highly recommend booking. The ambiance is fantastic, as it’s in an old house that feels like you’re stepping back in time when you enter. It’s beautiful. And then there’s there food. You can get a lunch set for around 3600 yen, which includes 8 skewers, vegetables, rice, soup, and some other small dishes. Everything they served was delicious, and the beef was a stand out. You can add on any other options on their menu, which I indulged in. The shiitake and mochi were fantastic. The staff were friendly and attentive, making this an overall excellent experience.

I would recommend this Kushiage restaurant. I had the 12 piece course and treated myself to the follow on 6 piece course. There is a good selection of Kushiage to cover everybody's tastes. Meat, fish, vegetables and cheese. Staff were warm, friendly and very helpful. I used to live in Nezu 29 years ago and would bring family and friends to this restaurant when they visited me from England. I'm on holiday now in Tokyo and thought I'd try the restaurant again to relive good memories. I'm happy to say I wasn't disappointed and will visit again when I next come to Tokyo. Domo arigato gozaimasu. 😁

Unique in my travels. Super friendly staff. I think the price was super fair. The food pushes the boundaries of what I am used too, but I'll never forget this restaurant as long as I live. Such great and different flavors!!! The ambiance was awesome. You will only eat so many meals in your life. This one you will remember. Stone cups for beer glasses! :)

MAR 2024 Had the lunch course which includes two appetizers, fresh vegetable sticks and cabbage, eight kushiage (deep fried skewers), choice of white rice with miso soup or ochazuke with seaweed and kelp, and dessert. The fried coating was thin and crispy with a bit of flakiness; very tasty and light on the stomach. It is very different to the other kushiage I've had before which tends to have a thicker coating. For each skewer, the staff will recommend the condiment to use which includes miso paste, salt and sweet tare sauce. The appetizers and the ochazuke was pretty good as well. Dessert was a smooth sakura flavored pudding with a strong matcha sauce on top. Price was reasonable and I really enjoyed the kusiage, staffs were friendly, though towards the end the pacing was very slow for the ochazuke and dessert.

I truly recommend this gem, located in a traditional building. Lightest fried food I ever had, crispy & not heavy, it’s a 5/5 (bookings accepted).

Delightful building, good fried-things-onna-stick. The corn was great ( butter!) and mushroom too! 4.5 would be closer to my true rating.

Absolutely loved this authentic restaurant where we enjoyed some small dishes to share. Service was great and the food was even better. I would definitely go again.

Really lovely and typical japanese restaurant. Very good the deep fried food on skewers.
