Yoyonam

Hip place to chill and enjoy vietnamese fusion food prepared by japanese chefs. Kinda small shop with few seats available. recommended to make a reservation before hand. Also, be sure to ask for the portion before you order. I ordered a noodle-salad dish that i'm sure the portion is meant for 2+ (even though i was able to finish it myself because it was delicious 😋)

This is a tiny hidden Vietnamese restaurant that may be a bit hard to find if you’re new to Japan. Come here for lunch. Crispy cold noodles and mixed chicken and mushroom rice are very well put together and hearty. It’s like a family style twist on flavor forward dishes you would see in Hanoi or HCMC. Very light on the stomach even though the portions are generous. A must do if in the Yoyogi area on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Keep an eye out for the specials menu. They’ve got a special tom yum gin and tonic as well

Tasty and friendly. There are three main lunch options to choose from. The menu is in Japanese and the waitress showed me pictures in her mobile to help me to pick up the preferred dish. The place is specious and the entrance is from the main street through a narrow alleyway, on the other side the restaurant located along the metro railway. From the restaurant I took a nice walk in the beautiful Yoyogi park and it’s shrine.

We had weekly lunch specials menu with pork. It was around ¥1,300. I agree with other reviewers that it’s a tiny bit overpriced. Food is lightly flavored so I can see how some people don’t like it much, but it was fine by me. It feels very healthy though. Restaurant itself is very small and cozy and pretty packed in the lunch time. I saw some people waiting outside when I left around 13:00 on random weekday. Service is definitely slow, but that gives time to relax a bit. I personally liked it here. The entrance of the restaurant is in the small alley so it might be a bit hard to find at first time.

Great fresh food served here. We had the bahn mi and rice and pork with veggies. If you can’t find the spot look at the left side of the building for a path to a black door. Could use some signage but the place was busy so maybe it’s on purpose haha

Fake Vietnamese food. Basically Japanese flavors. Banh mi bread was not great and there was not enough meat. Many better places. They have a dry noodles and mixed vegetables dish which also is not very reminiscent of Vietnamese food. No fish sauce even. Black pepper ice cream was good.

I LOVE this place!!! Their Bahn Mi is fantastic and their house special noodle salad rocks my world and today cos it’s my birthday I’m getting the Tom Yum gin tonic (Delish)!!! Small cute place hidden down an ally, right next to the Odakyu train line. Their staff are always super friendly and it’s always busy. It’s always busy so if you don’t want to wait you can call ahead and order take away.

Highly recommend this place for people who have gluten allergies / can’t eat spicy food / are looking for natural flavors. We had the Vietnamese pancake and it was fantastic! They also have many interesting cocktails 🍸
