This is my third time visiting this standing sushi bar, and it continues to deliver every time. It’s exactly what you’d expect: you stand, order, and eat right at the bar, which only fits about 10 people. What keeps me coming back on every trip to Tokyo is the friendly service and the incredible quality of the sushi, especially for the price.

There’s almost always a line, but it moves efficiently, and before you know it, you’re at the counter ordering directly from the sushi chefs using a laminated photo menu. The menu includes miso soup, pre-set combinations, and à la carte sushi options. Complimentary green tea is also provided.

The sashimi is simply delicious—fresh, juicy, and perfectly prepared. If you don’t need anything fancy and just want excellent sushi at a great value, this is absolutely the place to go.

First time at a standing sushi restaurant, and I went alone. You order directly from the chefs while standing around the counter. As a shy person, I worried about ordering more than once, but the staff and chefs were incredibly friendly—any eye contact turned into a nice chat, making me feel totally at ease. Both chefs spoke good English.
The fish was super fresh, and the unagi was a standout—cooked just right, it was soft, juicy, and had a lovely grilled scent that hit just right.
I got there at 9 and had zero wait time. If you’re staying in the area, definitely stop by!

Discovered via Instagram, affordable sushi with a reputation for quality.

Stopped by after seeing a recommendation online, and I’m glad I did. The wait time was minimal, and service was prompt. The menu had a wide variety of options, almost too many! Thankfully, they offered curated selections to help narrow things down.

The sushi itself was enjoyable. While I wouldn’t call it top-tier, it was fresh and satisfying for the price point. Overall, a solid spot if you’re looking for decent sushi without breaking the bank. Definitely worth a visit.

Wow, wow, wow! I’d come here to eat sushi every day if I could. I went twice while staying in Tokyo. There was no wait either time. You walk up to the sushi bar and are handed a menu. Complimentary tea is brought out. Then you can make your order to the sushi chef. You can order as many as you want at once. There are pre-selected sets you can order or a la carte. I decided to order a few at a time and then continue to add more orders as I ate. The sushi was so fresh and affordable, much better tasting than one of the omekase meals I had which was much more expensive. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for high-quality, affordable sushi in Tokyo and don’t need a fancy dining experience

First time at a standing sushi bar and I had a great experience. Amazing service and quality especially for the price you pay! Friendly staff and they accept many forms of payment (I paid with Mastercard). I didn’t speak Japanese but it was easy to order. Just point at what you want on the menu, and when you’re done you just say “Okaikei” (which is on a laminated sheet on the table). I didn’t have to wait at all for lunch time and the chefs make the sushi so quickly right in front of you. I ordered the special and an uni. You get a complimentary green tea as well. Will definitely go back here!!

Even though it says Standing Bar you can sit. The sushi here is incredible considering the price. The chef makes it in front of you fresh. I went there for dinner and I had to stay in the line for a few minutes. I got the 6 piece set that came with miso soup. The soup was also delicious. They ask for your preference on wasabi and ginger before preparing. Also, they save complementary green tea in the beginning of the meal. The service is good too. FYI. you can get chopsticks from the long wooden boxes kept on the table. I would definitely go there again.

Excellent spot! Fresh fish and very talented sushi Chef. Tried every fish on the menu and the top 3 are Fatty Tuna, Crab and Seared fatty Tuna.

One of the must try spots and great vibes as well.

It’s clearly a place designed for enjoying sushi while standing at the counter. Since I was with my kids, we didn’t dine inside but chose to order takeaway instead. One thing to note is that shellfish items are not available on the takeaway menu, which was a bit disappointing.

That said, the food itself was excellent—very fresh and full of flavor. Also, their staff are helpful and can speak good English. If you don’t mind standing, I’d definitely recommend giving it a try. I’m sure you’ll have a great time!

Very unique experience eating sushi. Just wait in line outside and when it’s your turn they put in a spot to stand at the bar. The line goes fast and you just order off a picture menu written in English (or the Japanese word for the sushi item). Sushi comes out fast since they have all fish already sliced. Easy, affordable, delicious.
