What other travelers are saying about Omoide Yokocho
Lots of yakitori and other street food. Easy to sit down and eat with beer. Very cool spot to start here and I and get some food I need before our drinks. Lots of cool places to look at. Not all of them enjoy having their photo taken unless you buy things. This area during the day or a lot less active. It's better to go at night when it's much more lively, unless you're not really into that sort of thing.
Extremely narrow street with one restaurant next to the other in small, tight spaces. Some restaurants had huge queues, and in general, they were all packed. We randomly chose one where two seats were available. We were told that a drink per person must be purchased as a sitting fee. The food was being grilled right next to us, and we could eat it ready-made. It was a pricier experience compared to others we had, but worthwhile.
Great atmosphere and decent food. You can definitely get better for the price although since the vibe of this alley is unmatched for I think it justifies the prices.
During the day before shops open (8-11am) it’s very peaceful and it’s always crowded during dinner times from 5pm~
A must-visit in Tokyo. This street reeks of charm and character and the vibrant atmosphere is best enjoyed in a small group or alone. Everywhere you look is a cozy bar/restaurant filled with 4-8 customers engaging in conversation with friends and strangers alike. It's really something special. You can get light meals and drinks here.
Extremely yummy yakitori (barbeque) in tight sitting restaurants. Definitely take a seat wherever you find one and enjoy! Try the milk based drink and their highballs too!
