The famous red miso sauce on the fried pork cutlet may not look very appetizing to everyone. We tried it anyway because we considered it an experience. Actually, it's not as salty and strong as we expected. We loved it. The regular pork chop is more fatty and tender. If you prefer the less fatty version, order the pork fillet, but it's not as tender. Definitely worth a try. There are many other branches too and they offer the same menu.

Great Unagi and very generous portion. Interesting that it primarily seems to be visited by locals so no queues, restaurant actually has parking and very friendly staff looking after you and keen to practice their English. Very worthwhile alternative to the other top Ungai places.

I'm no food blogger/reviewer being asian and having grown up eating a fair bit of noodles, I'd say this is one of those that you'd remember. The soup base is very delicate, the combination of it is just "clean" (like the way good sushi is). The noodles have an excellent spring to it. Chewy, yet soft Make this noodle shop a stopover place when visiting the shrine.

If you don't read japanese, this restaurant can be challenging. But we went for food , not for a conversation and the fact that we did not understand a word didn't matter to the hosts, who would explain carefully all the beauty of their food ( I suppose that was the subject of the speeches). Food is great, the local dish Hitsumabushi was the best I tried, soft and crispy at the same time , just perfect. We also got grilled chicken and veggies that was great for kids.( however they tried and loved the eels too). The place is very nice, simple , elegant. we were seated on the tatami, but with room for legs underneath the table, in a small private room. Very nice experience, service is quick and with a smile.

I love eel rice. but sometimes you can have too much of a good thing. I ordered a eel set. It starts with a deep fried eel spine as appetizer. That thing is a bit crunchy. Should be good with beer. Then there is eel miso soup and a cold appetizer of eel liver. The soup is tasty but the liver is not really my thing. Then came the rice itself. A huge eel chunk placed on a huge wooden bucket of rice. I was taught to eat it three ways: first with the terriyaki sauce, then with spring onion, then with soup. Let me tell you, by the time the eel rice came, I am already a bit sick of having eels. But the rice was amazing. The eel was crusty on the outside and soft in the inside. There is also a hint of charcoal. Delicious.Out of the three ways, i liked it best plain with terriyaki sauce. Sometimes you really cant perfect something that is already in itself flawless. all these other ways of eating eel is just pointless.

We visited the restaurant in a shopping mall called La Chic which is pretty near Oasis 21. In Japan the restaurants in shopping malls are usually located at one of the highest floors of the building. The eel was grilled to perfection and was certainly one of the best unagi meals I have ever had. You can opt for the set that allows you to eat the grilled eel in 4 different ways (this one contains a smaller portion of grilled eel). If you would like more grilled eel, you can choose the regular bento set where the grilled eel is served on top of rice. If you would like more grilled eel (because it's so good), you can upgrade for a bigger portion of eel.

I guess we arrived there quite early, around 5PM, so we don't really have to line up to get into the restaurant. The eel itself is really delicious and overall it's a little bit salty for some people. The volume of each dish is quite large, so we only ordered three set of eel rice and two side dishes for four people.

Very good unagi, highly recommend their hitsu-mabushi. That is a famous unagi dish in Nagoya, and a regular size order costs 3,600 yen (unagi is very expensive in Japan). The menu (available in English, Chinese, and Korean) tells you how to enjoy it. There may be a 2 hour long wait, even if you get there before they officially open. However, definitely worth visiting once.

The food and service was excellent. We first tried on Saturday night but the wait was about 90 minutes so we moved on. Sunday night the line was shorter and we had our seats in about 20 minutes. Once we sat down they immediately took our order. Food arrived in about 5 minutes. The eel was delicious. The menu has limited English but was easy to decipher with pictures. It was well worth the wait.

You’d better not to miss this restaurant if visit Nagoya! This Atsuta Horaiken is located in Matsuzakaya but not the most famous standalone store though, their unagi courses and the service are still quite nice. The pros is it’s not necessary to make reservation in advance, you may just wait in line for entry, while the cons is it’s pity there is no much nostalgic interior design if you really care about the atmosphere.
