What a great izakaya experience - we really enjoyed the atmosphere and sitting by the bar in front of the kitchen is the best way to spend a lovely evening at Narukiyo. The chef is crazy but hilarious. We had the sashimi platter, Wagyu steak, tempura, crabs and asparagus. Everything was so so so delicious! My new favorite izakaya in Tokyo.

This was the most disappointing experience I have had at any restaurant in Japan. Do not waste you money here. There are WAY TOO MANY other amazing options around (I would have rather made a Lawson or 7/11 run). I was with my girlfriend who lives here in Japan and is Japanese still got treated like I am a dumb foreigner. They overcharged us and would not provide an itemized receipt to show me what I was paying for. The total was 20,700yen. 6,000 a piece for an omakaze experience I highly discourage. The food was decent but I noticed the chef gave the better cuts of sashimi to other patrons (I saw him cut ours and the knife did not go through very cleanly on our tuna sashimi, and the fish was also not fresh). I had 3 beers and she had 2 sparkling waters. I had the server verbally tell me the price of each item that totaled to around 16,000 - the rest was tax (10%) and the remaining was a “service fee”. They forgot about us and it took way too long between courses, especially considering how rude they were to my girlfriend on the phone when she made the reservation. Calling directly is the only way to make a reservation (and you need to speak Japanese or they will mess up), and they are very rude yelling at you that there is a 2hour time limit per guest. Cool, great, understandable . . . But they did not even start serving us until 6:15 with a 6:00 reservation and then forgot or took way too long between courses. Pretty disappointed because there are SO MANY better places we could have gone to. I have no problem spending money on a great restaurant and usually won’t complain but this was pretty pathetic for Japanese standards. Also, the sashimi, Wagyu katsu, and fried rice were all sub par (you could find better for less than 2,000 anywhere in Japan). The soup was good but got overshadowed by everything else, and they never brought me my own soup and only gave us one. Hope this helps someone who visits for a short time and would be really upset with this experience! I still love you Tokyo ❤️

Great vibes and music in this “underground” Izakaya. Food was all delicious and fresh so go ahead and try whatever you feel like! They didn’t show us a menu with price and the bill was slightly expensive! But I feel it’s still alright for what we ordered and the vibes! Would recommend to try if you’re around the area!

Downtown vibe with a chef with huge presence. The food was delicious and we loved sitting at the bar and watching the chef create each dish with flair and precision.

Chanced upon this spot and it immediately went to one of my top fav food spots globally. Chaotic vibes if you do not have a reservation - be prepared to stand and eat. The menu is Japanese only so basically went with all the recommendations by the chef. The only item that was subpar was the grilled chicken - not bad just not special. The vegetables and fruits are a MUST. The items are seasonal so not much point in me sharing the items here but do give this place a try
