| - I have dined at shibuya about 5 times now and I must say it is a quality restaurant. Good service, really good food and a unique japanese menu with a few twist. I have not tried everything yet but I hope to complete the menu sometime near the end of 2011 hahaha, probably not but I will try.
So the menu has quite a bit of variety. First let me start with my favorite item of all, TAKOYAKI! It is the best I have had in the city, HECK it even beats the ones I got in japan on the street (when I visited in 2000) just really good and very well presented! The miso black cod is also a MUST. This take on the hit dish (originally created at the restaurant Nobu by chef Nobu ) is amazing!!! succulent, rich, sweet, salty and melt in your mouth good, I recommend getting some steamed rice and seaweed salad to help balance the richness of the cod while you eat it. Among that there are some other very interesting fusion sushi rolls and cones and a few other stand out items!
Now I would give this place a five star review BUT their is a reason I could not. Shibuya has all the makings of a 5 star destination however, I think because the menu is a little stretched some items on it sort of fall by the wayside. For example, simple items like the scewered chicken livers or the grilled chicken skin are either well prepared or poorly prepared (sort of the luck of the draw i guess!) the last time I got the chicken livers they were way overcooked, like rubber bullets! I had to force myself to eat them!! normally I would complain but I love this place so I just smiled and chewed, and chewed and chewed...etc One other item I really did not like was the "shibuya roll" It had cream cheese in it!, and it just overwhelmed everything else in the roll all you good taste is phill cream cheese!, They really need a new signature roll! Either way I was exited to hear the waitress say they are working on a new menu (it seems they are gonna tighten things up to keep the quality up on all the food! smart move!) So I look forward to going again very soon!
Overall I would recommend and even push anyone to go to this place, very nice atmosphere, great service and a totally tasty (and rather unique) menu. Two things you should know before coming here,#1 be prepared for a little line up wait AND #2 dont get the Nato roll! hahahaha (not because they make it poorly) but because Nato is only for people who know what Nato is. DONT ASK!
