Meating at Anis: Monthly gatherings for carnivore connoisseurs
Nobody in Tokyo cooks meat like Susumu Shimizu. Whether it's beef, pork, lamb or poultry, he prepares it all over a plancha — basically a hot plate with super-sensitive controls — in his chic little restaurant, Anis, on the western edge of Shinjuku.

The Panhead's Heaven Saloon: Gigantic burgers fit for a biker
We need to talk about calories. They are, in the words of "Panmas" — the avuncular owner and chef at The Panhead's Heaven Saloon — the "concept" upon which his towering burgers are built. By his count, the Cheese-Bomb has more than 2,000 units loaded into it. Bear in mind that the average male requires...

Yakitori Ogawa: Traditional 'yakitori' served like high-end sushi
There's no mistaking the kind of cuisine offered at Yakitori Ogawa. All 15 seats in this compact, one-counter grill look directly onto the open kitchen where skewers of premium poultry are slowly, carefully tended to over glowing charcoal.

Tempu: A cluttered hole-in-the-wall with incredible 'takoyaki'
Tempu is in no way a destination restaurant. It's a six-minute schlep beside the tracks from JR Shibuya Station, and when you arrive all you'll find is a cluttered hole-in-the-wall that fits eight at a pinch, all standing. But it's this funky setting that makes it such a favorite with the locals —...

Moriwaki: Blissful sashimi in a compact family-run eatery
One of my favorite occasions to eat out in Japan is after returning from a long trip abroad. I have learned to empathize with those Japanese tourists who can't wait to get home and eat Japanese rice after a whirlwind tour of Europe.

Hyakushokuya: The wagyu joint that only makes 100 meals each day
Hyakushokuya, "100 meal shop," makes 100 meals a day — and that's it. The daily challenge for staff is to make and serve them as fast possible, so that they can take the rest of the day off. It seems that this is typically accomplished by the end of lunchtime, at which point a chalkboard is placed...

Cam On Pho: No-frills pho and banh mi done right
Spring rolls, pho noodles, and banh mi sandwiches: the menu at Cam On Pho is anything but extensive. But those are the classics of Vietnamese street food. And if they're done well, like they're done in their homeland, what more do you need?

Start your morning with a serving of tradition at these breakfast joints
The Japanese breakfast provides a healthy start to the day. It's rich in vegetables — from both land and sea — often includes fermented foods such as miso soup and pickles, and is rounded out with rice and grilled seafood. Though, it hasn't always been this way.
