This place is one of the most famous cake shops in Tokyo. They have many French cakes and a few breads. It takes 25 minutes from Kichijoji station. We can't eat here and only “to go”.
The most popular cake is Mont blanc (chestnut cake). It has rich chestnuts taste. My favorite kind of cake is chocolate mousse cake. The cake tastes not only creamy but also rich and a little bitter.

We have been here a number of times when we visit family in Kichijoji and we keep on returning. It is a little hard to find being on the 4th. floor in a building between two alleys off Sun Road to the left but it is definitely worth finding.
It is a Korean style yakiniku barbecue restaurant with central charcoal cooking at the table. We usually order a few different types of meat and vegetables to grill and my favorite, bebimbap, which is rice with meat, vegetables and an egg cracked in at the end, cooked in a stone bowl which is so hot the rice goes crispy where it is in contact with the bowl. Mix in the Korean chilli paste and away you go! Beer is the best accompaniment.
The staff are always very attentive checking out the state of the charcoal fire and replacing the wire griddle at times when it gets some burnt bits stuck to it. There is an older guy on the staff who always makes a fuss over my grandson and has been known to give him presents to play with.
It must be popular with the locals because it is always crowded.

because it is just okay, three stars rather than four - as has been said, Indochinese crossover seen through Japanese eyes, served on aluminum trays, very garden-canteen like. I had the set lunch (the first of 4 alternatives) with iced Oolong, minced chicken with rice and fried egg Thai style (needed additional seasoning!), clear turnip soup, and an unfortunately really chewy Vietnamese spring roll. But it's a cool place, crowded, with modern music, beautifully situated in one of my favorite Tokyo parks, and the service is friendly. Prices are maybe a bit too high for the food (my set lunch was $12) but otherwise adequate, and it is a great alternative for visitors of the Ghibli Museum - it is on the way back if one cuts through Inokashira Park (which one should) to catch the Chuo Line from Kichijoji rather than Mitaka.

吉祥寺にある人気のパン屋。通りからちょっとだけ中に入り、さらに地下一階という立地ではあるが、かなりスタイリッシュな外観内観。おしゃれスポットでもある。パンは店員さんが取ってくれるスタイル。ハード系が特に美味しい。売り切れもしばしば。価格は高いが食べる価値は大いにありです。

The Straw Hat had absolutely delicious food with the magic of Studio Ghibli!
The only downside was the wait to get in, which you queued outside for awhile. Once inside though you were greeted by friendly staff & your food came quickly. A restaurant not completely themed by Ghibli characters but has the same charm. If you have the time, then visit here! Food was quality, delicious & large proportioned. Atmosphere was warm, clean and filled with little bits of Ghibli magic throughout.

Usually I visit on weekdays. I saw a lots of ladies and kids. I love green curry! Coconut ice cream will be the recommended for dessert. Next time I want to taste tom yam ramen.

10 mins walk from Ghibli museum along Inokashira park to Kichijoji station locates this beautiful Yakitori restaurant with spirited way atmosphere .
Always packed and cramped , no space between next table , smoky like hell and noisier than outside would be a compliment for this restaurant .
For those coming to this place searching for a real classic local restaurant but not tourist-oriented one I would recommend to have a try of some Shumai(pork dim sum ) and Moriawase ( random selection of Yakitori ) here , and some beer maybe . It will be an easy and excellent experience .

Well I had tasted several Japanese curries before and they all seemed to be made out of the same stuff, reminiscent of the Golden Curry packet curry mix.
Not so with Mamezo. I had the mushroom curry and it consisted of thin strips of mushrooms in a delicious deep brown richly flavoured curry sauce with its own character unlike anything I had tasted before. The others in the party had differing curries with beef and vegetables and all were reportedly of the same quality.
There was nice jazz playing, and the restaurant had a homely feel with lots of little memorabilia items around.
It was a small dinky little restaurant in the Nakamachi area of Kichijoji, heading away from the station, just past that landmark neglected property with the vacant front yard and the tree growing through the roof! Then turn right two alleys past it then go 20 meters or so.
I can still taste that curry now!! Do yourself a f(l)avour! Sorry about that!

If you’re here, try the 10k Yen Matsusaka steak. Literally melts in your mouth. Served with bean sprouts, super sweet carrot slices and rice.
The queues can be daunting so be prepared for a wait unless you arrive earlier before they open. Don’t understand why they allow people to queue up the extremely narrow and steep staircases. It makes exiting when you’re done quire hazardous, especially with a belly full of beef
