Omoide Yokochō

I was recommended by a friend to come here for their food, it's a street full of small local bar bites ( Yakitori, sashimi, beer and etc...) However, most of the stalls are quite similar, normally the locals will come here to chill. Oh yea, and most of the stalls here got no proper seats, you might need to stand to drink beer and eat yakitori! 😋😋 Is a good experience as well, worth trying!

If you are visiting Tokyo, make sure to stop and enjoy some times in these little hidden streets in the heart of Shinjuku, the smell of delicious food circulating around will blow your mind and all your senses

Beautiful place! I always dreamed to visit this little spot. It's super crowded, of course, but it totally worth it. I would say that a "con" is that most of restaurants serve yakitori, (and most of them are full), but it make sense, it should be "Sit, live the experience, leave your spot to next customer". Food are good quality and prices are average. In 2024 I wish to visit this place again. #2024wish

#tokyotrip The famous Omoide Yokocho When to go? 8pm-early morning Location: West Side of Shinjuku Station Omoide Yokocho is a cramped space where you see rows of tiny restaurants, some of them just with a counter, some of them with only a couple of tables. There is not much space to walk in these narrow alleys, you better bring a small bag with you. There are seafood and grilled meat - the grilled chicken has many different parts available, kushiyaki food on sticks, ramen noodles, etc. In winter, you may enjoy oden (food in hot broth). The prices are cheap and you can eat quickly. You can also have a bite here and there to try different foods but the places being really packed you may be unable to find a seat at another restaurant. Note: Bring cash, not credit card
