Passed by Machida on the way back from an Enoshima & Kamakura day trip from our base in Kakio. This is a low key establishment frequented mainly by locals. Wife and I were the only visitors dining at Oyaji on that Saturday. We had two slightly different ramens, their signature miso broth ramen and another miso and shoyu broth ramen, I think. This is my wife's favourite ramen joint of all the places she's tasted across Tokyo. We'll definitely be back for some in the near future.

This is very famous Ramen shop in Machida. I thought it would open at 12:00 but on Saturdays and Sundays, it opens at 11:30 a.m. So on a Saturday when I arrived there at 11::45 a.m. It took me 50 minutes in total to wait in line outside ,standing and again inside sitting after buying tickets and again sitting near the counter before the first bite of delicious ramen and the soup. US$7.75 is OK for the taste but 50 minutes were too much.

This is a tiny "curry house" having only 7 counter seats,located in a bazar type street vendor's stalls gatherings. You need few minutes walk from Odakyu Machida station. I arrived there at 11 a.m. 30 minutes before the opening time on a Saturday. I was the first in line then at 11:15 a couple came and at 11:20 a second came and at 11:25 a third thus at the opening all the 7 seats were occupied. When I finished and went out, I saw 11 people were in line. US$12 pork cutlet with curry & rice, their speciality was slightly expensive than average and the volume was smaller than average but it was worth the money. The soup type curry was not so hot but some ingredients
made me sweat afterwards and the taste was good though I cannot explain how. The pork used is famous Koza pork which was first grown when Japan opend its door to foreigners after 300 years for westerners' demand. The original pig was from Yorkshire and improved but once extinct in 1970 defeated by cheaper cometition and revived in 1985. Koza is the old name of the area, southwest t of Machida. I would surely go again to this curry house.

These dumplings are great. Eating them is an experience. It takes practice to eat them without making a mess, but it so worth it. This place is only a stall, no Seating. You stand along the stall to eat, they have a little sauce you can add. The trick is to take a small bit of the outer layer first, drink some of the well flavored broth, then eat the dumpling.

We have never been to a restaurant of this genre or caliper. The staff greets you on the way in like you’re some sort of a superstar. It is teppanyaki style food with a robust price tag, but worth every penny. This was a grand dining experience for my wife and I, as my friend who is a Tokyo local took us there because it;s his favorite restaurant in this huge city. Benehana’s can’t touch this place. The decor is elegant European, they seat you down in front of you own private chef in a classic room and the best food in the world just keeps coming at you straight off the grill. The servers are perfectly dressed, treat you like royalty and in the evening we started off with an exotic lobster appetizer, fresh grilled clam salad, awesome ribeye/New York grilled to perfection and perfectly sliced, dreamy ice cream desserts and a vast selection of cocktails and wine. If you really want to get spoiled, this is he place to go. A one of a kind, fabulous dining experience!

Great place to relax, kick back and eat great yakitori. You should probably make Reservations sine the place is always crowded. The staff is very friendly but don't count on anyone speaking English. Also, don't expect to order using pictures. If you can get over these two issues you'll certainly enjoy the fresh food. Everything we ordered was fresh, tastes and served right off the flame. I especially liked the tsukune and chicken wings.

町田に住む友人宅を訪れた際に、おすすめのカフェがあるからと連れていかれたのがこちらでした。メディアでも取り上げられている有名店なのだそう。
友人イチ押しのパフェをオーダーしましたが、最後まで美味しく頂く事が出来てとても気に入りました♪
ですが残念だったのがスタッフ。店内は満席で忙しそうでしたが笑顔もなく印象が悪いです。この辺が都内の人気店と町田を比べた時の差なのでしょうか…

数年前に法事で利用させて頂いた以来ご無沙汰していましたが、久しぶりに訪問しました。
パーキングも広く赴きのある構えは相変わらずで、ゆったり寛いで食事が出来ました。
豆腐料理がメインなので、客層はやはり女性が多いかな？さすがに田楽が美味しいですね♪
個室は暖かみのある雰囲気でまとめられていて落ち着きます。

If you already had Ramen noodles in Japan, you already know what difference it makes to have noodles made from scratches and cooked to order. If you did not, these have nothing in common with the study night from college! The difference between dry and fresh Ramen noodles is even greater than between dry and fresh pasta.
Ippudo (http://www.ippudo.com/index.html) offers the freshest pasta in a place that feels like home; the place is not too big, and if you stroll in it during lunch rush hour, you might have to wait for 10-15 minutes for an empty seat.
You put your bags (shopping all day in Machida means a lot of bags) beind you on a bench or a basket and order.
I did not ask for an English menu, the pictures are easy to point to, and everything I had from the menu was excellent. I especially enjoyed the curry Ramen.
Their gyozas are delicate and left no grease on the plate - and come in different sizes: I had 5 pcs - enough for one person.
The prices are not in the range of the "fast food" places, expect to pay Y980 for a Ramen dish, and Y220 for 5 gyozas, but the taste is divine, the service fast and friendly.
There are also appetizers you can snack from while waiting for your meal.
To get to the restaurant, as you exit on to the main outdoor platform of the JR Machida St., head over towards the Twin Towers, go past the East Tower and make a right turn. Walk about 5 minutes, and you will find the restaurant on your left, nestled deeper than street level. The signs above the door are in old Japanese characters, same one seen on their web page. Enjoy - itadakimase!
