3 minutes on foot from Ogikubo Station on the Chuo Line. We are Village Vanguard Diner's Ogikubo branch, a gourmet burger restaurant with 8 locations in Kanto and 1 in Yamanashi. There is just one secret to our deliciousness. The simple answer is “carefully select the ingredients and make everything with the utmost care.” It's an answer we found through continuous trial and error. Dedicated to hamburgers. Going beyond today's deliciousness. We constantly pursue the craft of making hamburgers. We are dedicated to pancakes too. Our fluffy pancakes may only be cooked by those qualified as pancake artisans. Each one is carefully cooked in the restaurant. Also, a choice of ha…

Something over 30 seats with an interesting mixed atmosphere. For example, a big shelf of books above the counter with various manga sets and some foreign books. Perhaps a thousand volumes? Some glasses displayed going up to giant. Music from the thirties? Current is "June's Blues" by June Christy and the Kentones. Quite an attractive menu and I want to come back for a couple of the options that caught my eye, especially the Mexican burger lunch special on Mondays. No store Wi-Fi, but there is a public signal I used. Coffee's above average and I'm going to call it a high four stars for now. Strong candidate for five.

This was a really great place with a great atmosphere. The staff were friendly and they have books to read so you can hang out for awhile if you like. I went in the evening approximately an hour or so before closing and it wasn’t too crowded. I really liked the decorations they reminded me of home a little bit. As far as the food goes I loved the waffle cheese fries but the burger looked so good but it wasn’t as good as it looked. I’m not saying it was bad I just expected more based on the way it looked. If you’re in the area check it out. I might go again and try something different.

Although the girl working there tried very hard to provide great service, I would not recommend or come back here again. The first impression was good, as we entered near closing time but the girl welcomed us saying it was "no problem at all!". When we wanted to order pancakes we were told that they couldn't make those anymore, so we ordered a burger set with potatoes and some drinks. The I think it was coconut or pineapple "smoothie" was not even remotely a smoothie: a glass full of ICE CUBES (have you ever in your life seen a smoothie that was filled up to the brim with ice cubes??) with some drink poured over it (the taste was okay though). The set included a 'generous' amount of 4 (!!!) tiny potatoes - which by the way would cost about 350 yen or so when ordered by themselves xD The girl took away the plates and glasses of each item pretty much as soon as we swallowed our last bite, but "please relax and enjoy your meal" and kindly asked us to pay , but "no need to hurry up, please take your time". I don't know if she did that on purpose, but it certainly did not make me feel like we could relax while eating here. Quick summary: cost-performance was poor, food was so-so and the service felt very rushed so I would not recommend this place. I can imagine though that depending on the time of the day and your expectation as a customer you might still enjoy the food here, as the flavours are not bad.

Nice atmosphere, a extensive menu with a variety of burgers choice.. Very well cooked, nice staff, nice music. I didn’t know this place, hidden in a corner closed to the train station. I’ll be back on my next business incursion to Ogikubo.
