久米屋日式小吃店

This is one of our favorite places to visit. The food is tasty and for children under 3 they give you a seaweed rice ball, steamed egg and drink for free, which our toddler enjoys. Service isn't super responsive and you should ring the service bell to get tea refills. But we love this place and come back often, highly recommend if you go to megacity mall and especially if you have kids under 3.

🍡🔥 A Feast of Flame and Flavor Beneath the neon glow of Ikebukuro's streets, a sanctuary of smoke and sizzle beckons. YAKITON HAYASHIYA, a beacon of delight, where the dance of fire and food takes center stage. Each skewer, a symphony of textures and tastes, tempts the senses with its mesmerizing display. Tender morsels of chicken, pork, and more, kissed by the open flame's amber embrace. The aroma, a seductive siren's call, luring us deeper into this culinary haven. Crisp-edged delicacies, basted in tare's rich glaze, burst with the essence of umami's enchantment. Around the counter, lively chatter fills the air, as strangers become friends, bound by this shared feast. Laughter and stories intertwine with each savored bite, creating a tapestry of joy and community. YAKITON HAYASHIYA, a temple to the art of yakitori, where the simple becomes sublime, and the soul is nourished. Here, in this vibrant corner of Toshima's streets, a celebration of flame, flavor, and the beauty of life. 🍢 🔥

This place has a nice outdoor seating area in front and also in the back, especially nice when Vanderbilt Open Streets is running, as then the street is closed to cars and there are a lot of events like live bands, so the atmosphere is festive. The sushi here is fresh and tastes really good, very happy with the Ocean Lover roll which has salmon, tuna and avocado. The tonkatsu curry is also really delicious, especially the fried pork cutlet is really juicy and goes well with the curry sauce, and the rice is also fragrant. The curry has a nice kick as well. This is also a place we frequent quite a bit.
