15 Best Places to Eat Like a Local in Tokyo | Condé Nast Traveler

"More of a food stall than a proper restaurant, Karaage-ya Oshu Iwai is an unbeatable option for on-the-go fried chicken in Tokyo. The secret to the karaage's—fried chicken—success here is the optimal ratio of crispy breading to juicy meal. There's also a wide range of finishes, including spicy, garlic fried, sweet, and soy-glazed. Orders are served right from the fryer in a small carton with toothpicks as utensils. Not sure where to start? Go for the Iwaii Bento, a crowd favorite." - Brad Japhe

Great fried chicken. Recommend the original flavor (iwai).

Ordered takeout. The chicken was NEARLY perfect but with one downside: lack of salt I don't know if they simply forgot to add salt or if they added too little but I literally had to go back out to 7-eleven and buy a can of salt to sprinkle. Otherwise the fried chicken could have been perfect. The crispy texture, the perfect amount of meat to batter ratio, the moist level, all perfect. Just wish they added salt.

Dropped by yesterday for a last-minute lunch - I couldn't leave not trying the best karaage in Japan! It is about a 10-minute flat walk from Akhiabara station. There are two small benches you can eat at. Otherwise, there is a nice park around the corner (you walk past it when walking from the station) that you could sit in to eat. The hostess speaks english and there are english menus. There was no one else there when we went at about 12.30pm on a Thursday. Very reasonably priced, I think we paid ¥1800 for 4 types! We ordered original, salt garlic and yuzu. They were all so good! I agree with other reviewers that the breast is superior to thigh. I couldn't get over how juicy the chicken was! The Yuzu was interesting and delicious, i haven't tried that flavour profile before and was pleasantly surprised. It would have been extra good with a squeeze of lemon and some kewpie. The garlic was the other big standout for me. I'm glad I made the trip to try this! Very, very good.

This was one of my favorite meals in Japan, we stumbled on it by accident, and thank the gods for that! It’s sooo good, and the guys that work there are so sweet!

Great little hole in the wall for takeaway karaage chicken. Staff were really friendly, particularly for me as an English speaker with only a few words of Japanese. Trying not to eat while walking to the train was very difficult with the amazing smell, and when I finally got to eat them, all the types I tried were excellent.
