Effortless dining, decent across the board
The food at Saitado Takadanobaba 居酒家 さいたどう in Takadanobaba (Shinjuku), Tokyo, covers a wide range, including yakitori, deep-fried dishes, rice, ramen, and small plates. Everything we tried was tasty and well prepared, and the variety made it easy to order across different styles. We ordered a mix of dishes, and everything arrived quickly, which made the meal feel smooth and easy.
Comfortable space, smooth service
The atmosphere stands out with its wooden interior and spacious layout. It feels comfortable and relaxed without being cramped. There is also an outdoor balcony-style seating area, which looked appealing, although we chose to sit inside because of the heat. It seems like a good spot for cooler days when sitting outside would be more enjoyable.
The service was excellent, and everything ran efficiently from start to finish. Prices felt fair for what you get. We would come back.
They have an English menu available. Reservations are not required. Credit card is accepted.
