The food and service from the staff was great. The portions were large (we added extra portion seafood). The seafood quality was fresh and delicious. The waitresses were very kind and attentive. I was stuffed by the end of the meal. My only negative was that the hours on google say the store opens at 10:45 am. However, we got there at 10:35 and there was already a small line waiting. I thought “Great, when 10:45 rolls around, we’re surely going to get in right away!” When it turned to 10:45 am, no one was let in. Everyone in line was very confused as to why they weren’t opening. We all stood waiting for almost 25 minutes before a random couple exited the restaurant and finally someone from the line was allowed in. That’s when we realized the restaurant was already full and that’s why the line wasn’t moving. They let a bunch of people in way before opening time. It wasn’t a huge deal, but it would have been nice to have known prior to coming here and the restaurant should really update their opening hours if it is now earlier than 10:45 am.

A hidden gem in Tokyo! This cozy little restaurant, run inside a family home, offers the most comforting and heartfelt dining experience. Their Seafood Kaisendon is absolutely phenomenal—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. But the real magic happens at the end when you turn the remaining rice into ochazuke—a warm, umami-packed finish that feels like a hug in a bowl. The homey atmosphere and warm hospitality make it even more special. If you’re looking for an authentic and intimate Japanese dining experience, this place is a must-visit!

Seafood rice bowl that I’d eat over and over again. It’s a family business and only open for lunch. Prices from ¥1300-2800. Would definitely go back

Arrive at 10am and manage to get in the first seating as there is only 3 person ahead. The Kaihodon taste profile is pretty nice and has a very home cooked feel to it. Prices are very reasonable too for the portion we ordered. Manage to get an outdoor seat which makes the whole experience even better!

One of my best meals in Tokyo, a must-eat! Food was amazing and service was 10/10. We went a bit before opening to avoid the queue and the staff saw us and let us in. At the end of our meal, he even came to greet us to say goodbye

Super authentic and great food. Service is amazing, very kind people that helps you how to customize your order. Best meal in Japan 🫶🏼

Went there for brunch (11am), had the freshest sashimi and warm, customizable rice. Environment was cosy, garden tidied well. Service was impeccable. Really lived up to my expectations, will be back for more 👍🏻

FOOD WAS EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD. 😭💯 Loved the dashi broth at the end too. Started queuing 20mins before opening time and managed to get a table for 4 immediately once it opened. Space is limited but service is fast. Price is very affordable. Would definitely revisit.
