Negiya Heikichi Shibuya Udagawacho

This was the best food I had in Japan. The mastery of green onions and leeks was phenomenal. They have clay pot rice dishes, hot pot, grilled meats, and fantastic sashimi while simultaneously offering fantastic vegetarian options. There is no English menu, but the staff is kind and will help translate menu items without hesitation. The atmosphere of this place is fantastic as it is off the beaten path. 10/10

I ate a set meal with green onion sauce and grilled chicken. Besides, stewed udon noodles in clay pot are ordered by many people. I was delighted, with lots of green onions. Have you ever tried how to eat grilled chicken deliciously? It is crispy and moist collaboration. I want to share the delicious excitement and wonder of old house in Japan. It is so nostalgic!

Hidden gem - great food and quiet atmosphere. You can’t expect the typical kindness that you get from other Japanese stores, but their service was good enough for me. There is a couple of menu that takes up to 40 min, so please be aware of that. Miso baked cream cheese was surprisingly good. I would love to bring more friends here.

Amazing hidden gem for lunch for a very good price! Loved it!

This place was so memorable, I love the dark moody modern sleek bar with the traditional Japanese set lunches and the staff talking loudly on their landline and scribbling on paper furiously. What a great little gem, on top of that the sets were incredibly affordable between 1500-1800 yen and the chx karaage was perfect! The owner did not speak english but did his best to connect with us and asked us where we were from and I just felt really, really welcomed for the first time since touching down in Tokyo, and that's always a great feeling :)

The atmosphere was very nice but service not so great. Waited 40 minutes for our food order, only to be told it was given to the wrong table. And by the time it came (around 9:30pm) they announced last order! This place is known for using leaks in many of their dishes, hence the name Negiya. (Negi means leak, or long onion, in Japanese). The grilled negi with miso was pretty tasty, but nothing too special as this is a common dish at many izakayas. It's literally just charred leaks and nothing more. On the positive side, our waiter spoke perfect English and recommended several dishes and a good sake from the all-Japanese menu.

One of the best places I’ve had dinner at in Tokyo. Really hidden from the world, with special food and special vibe. Loved it!

Meal was great, specially for the price. If you do not speak Japanese, I’d recommend thinking twice. I understand, it is a place for locals, not for tourist. They are popular for a reason, just be prepared.
