Let me just say that their food lived up to all the hype. I went there 4 times during my trip to Tokyo. Truly one of the best foods I have eaten in my life. I think the Japanese style pasta are especially excellent, those with mentaiko sauce for example. Expect to wait much longer during dinner service because there will be only the chef running the restaurant. If you can’t make it in the first round (the first 7 customers), expect to wait at least an hour. If this chef launches a cooking channel on YouTube I will be the first one to subscribe. Be prepared to use google translate a lot if you can’t read japanese.

Once you try the pasta you will know why the rating is so high here. Never came here since there are always people making long queue in front of the restaurant. Stumbled across here after all the shops I was planning on are being closed. Luckily there was no one waiting today. Since I was quite hungry after walking around the area, I went for cream meat sauce with mozzarella cheese and eggplant. After about 15 minutes my order arrived. The pasta was very chewy, fresh and cooked to the perfect point. It is a bit hard to describe of the sauce, but it is one of the best things I have ever had. It is lightly creamed, eggplant was stirred with garlic and oil, and mozzarella was lightly smoked which adds another flavour and fun to the dish. Despite the low reviews of long wait, this place holds such a high rating, which indicates nothing but the pasta is top-notch. The owner is very friendly and caring. One needs to be patient and humble to get the pasta, but it was very worth it.

This small pasta restaurant packs a lot of punch. With just 7 counter seats it is tiny, there is always a queue outside, just one main cook too. But the menu is extensive, affordable and REALLY WORTH IT. You can adjust the amount of pasta that you got at no extra price. I got the salmon cream pasta with mushrooms and wow, it was the best I’ve had in so long. The staff were really kind and appreciative of their popularity!! Definitely definitely worth the wait!

The tomato pasta and the cod roe pasta are delicious. Al dente pasta and so many ingredients to try!

Had the mentaiko pasta with bacon and mushrooms. It was perfectly cooked, probably the best Japanese-Italian dish I have had
