I was always curious about the entrance of Kurokawa Shokudo, which has a very impactful design, and finally decided to dine there. I ordered the mackerel salt-grilled set meal (¥1,200). The price felt a bit high compared to other grilled fish set meals around Tamachi Station. Even though the land prices around Tamachi Station are quite high, you can still get a mackerel salt-grilled set meal with a side dish for ¥780. I didn't try other menu items, but I can imagine how the ingredients are sourced being a chain restaurant. Thinking about it, I believe restaurants around big stations like Tamachi Station, Tokyo, and Kanagawa Prefecture must be facing significant challenges. Keep up the good work, local eateries! Thank you for the meal.

On Sunday at 11am, I aimed for flour+water in Naka-Meguro but was put off by the 50-person waiting line. I ended up at a nearby restaurant where I could eat without waiting. By the time I left, it was somewhat crowded, so it seems to have a certain level of popularity. [Order Menu] 1580 yen (including tax) Salad bar 480 yen Fried tofu in broth set meal 1100 yen First of all, I made a mistake in my choice. The most popular item was the fried chicken, but for some reason I thought "fried chicken seems heavy..." and went for the fried tofu in broth instead... This might not have been a good choice. The fried tofu in broth, almost a whole block was too much... The sauce also tasted very much like "retort (chemical seasoning)" and I ended up with heartburn towards the end and left it uneaten. It would have been better with half the amount. Plus, the temperature was lukewarm and not tasty... I think it would have been better received if it was piping hot fried chicken. I feel like I chose the menu I shouldn't have chosen... *I read through reviews from other people, and it seems like this "fried tofu in broth" is not good. I should have just chosen the popular fried chicken... The miso soup tasted very much like instant. The vegetables at the salad bar were mediocre, the fruits were dried out, the pink grapefruit was so sour it tasted like a lemon, the kiwi had a hint of bitterness just before it goes bad, and the white balls were hard and not good... For those who have a violent desire to eat a lot of vegetables no matter what, I recommend the salad bar. Also, the service was lacking... Well, I don't expect anything noble from a place like this, but I was surprised by the somewhat unfriendly attitude. And the door at the entrance of the restaurant... Can it be fixed? Every time someone entered or exited, it made a loud noise and was unsettling... I've been choosing restaurants after doing proper research lately, so there haven't been many disappointments, but it reminded me that this is what it's like when you let your guard down.

I have visited Kurokawa Shokudo in Shimokitazawa many times, but this was my first time at this restaurant in Naka-Meguro. When I visited Shimokitazawa, the fried chicken was so delicious that I kept going back again and again... I miss those days. With those memories in mind, I entered the restaurant. The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of a building. There was no wait, but there were a decent number of customers inside. The menu still offers plenty of set meals for under 1,000 yen. I ordered the fried chicken, pork cutlet, and chicken nanban. Just like in Shimokitazawa, you can choose between white rice and mixed grain rice here. The fried chicken, I must say, was just as delicious as before. It was crispy and juicy with a salty flavor. The pork cutlet was a bit tough, but considering it's under 1,000 yen, it's acceptable. The chicken nanban was crispy chicken with a sweet and salty sauce and plenty of tartar sauce. The touch of red pepper was a nice accent. My wife, who doesn't like spicy food, wasn't a fan, but I appreciated it. The taste brought back memories and was very good. Moreover, the restaurant is clean and spacious, so you can relax and enjoy your meal. What are some flavors that bring back memories for you?

I felt like eating Japanese food and vegetables, so I randomly entered this restaurant. Inside, there were counter seats and table seats, so I chose a table seat. They also had a salad bar, which is recommended for those who want to eat vegetables (additional charge of 380 yen). There were many types of vegetables and fruits (banana, pineapple, orange), as well as some small desserts. They also had miso soup and soup. I ordered the fried horse mackerel set meal as my main dish. It wasn't exceptionally delicious, but with the salad bar, I might go back again.

A few minutes' walk from Naka-Meguro Station, on the second floor of a building. The clientele is mostly young people, but it's unusual to see salarymen in suits in Naka-Meguro. I ordered the chicken nanban set. It took a bit of time to come out, maybe because it was crowded around lunchtime. The chicken nanban itself was better than something you'd get at a convenience store. However, the rice was mediocre, it seemed like it was just piled on the plate. They have a salad bar and seem to emphasize vegetables, but it's a bit disappointing that they don't pay the same attention to the rice, which is the same crop. I wonder if the staff are okay. Hmm, I probably won't be coming back here.

I had a lunch set at a restaurant in Naka-Meguro. The lunch set has a wide variety of options. You can choose between plum and hijiki rice, mixed grain rice, and white rice. Extra portions are free, and you can help yourself to two types of soup and two types of pickles at the self-service soup bar. Today's miso soup had eggplant and fried tofu in it. The salad bar looked good for an additional 380 yen. Thank you for the meal.

Good job! This is Ada Log. Lunch: - Karaage set meal ¥940 (tax included) - Farmer's son salad bar ¥380 (tax included) Located about a 3-4 minute walk from Naka-Meguro, along Yamate Street, is "Kurokawa Shokudo." This restaurant is quite unique in Naka-Meguro as it offers a salad bar. I visited around 13:30 on a weekday. As soon as you enter the restaurant, the salad bar greets you. The set meal menu is quite extensive, with a variety of options priced around ¥1000. From fried dishes to fish, meat, and traditional set meal items, there is something for everyone. The salad bar can be added to a set meal for ¥380, or ordered separately for ¥880. I ordered the "karaage set meal" with extra rice and the salad bar. The karaage is a popular choice and did not disappoint. The salad bar offers a wide variety of vegetables, mushrooms, bean sprouts, and even fruits, along with four types of dressing and olive oil. I couldn't resist going back for seconds. The karaage in the set meal was crispy and flavorful, with a generous portion of 5 pieces. The rice options include white rice, mixed grain rice, and on this day, matsutake mushroom rice. The miso soup and side dishes are self-service with unlimited refills. If only they offered unlimited rice refills too, it would be perfect!

I was drawn in by the salad bar display during lunchtime on a regular day, so I decided to dine in. I ordered the oyster fry set meal and the salad bar. The salad was all-you-can-eat, and I was happy to see a variety of rice options including multigrain rice. The salad vegetables ranged from leafy greens to broccoli, okra, and more, but what personally delighted me was the presence of fruits! Moreover, the pineapple and watermelon were incredibly sweet. I ended up getting seconds. I was able to eat to my heart's content. If you're looking for a quick vegetable fix in Nakameguro, definitely give it a try.

The miso simmered mackerel with deep-fried tofu in mushroom sauce was too hot and I burned my mouth. I should have ordered the chicken nanban instead. The rice with pickled plum and hijiki seaweed was delicious. The pumpkin salad, sweet potato, apple compote, and coffee jelly were also amazing.

I was attracted to this restaurant because of the salad bar and finally decided to visit. I went on a Monday afternoon around 2 pm and there were a few people there. You can add a "Farmers' Salad Bar" to your meal for an additional 380 yen. I chose the deep-fried tofu set meal instead of the usual meat or fish set meals. However, I felt a bit disappointed because the set meal was priced at the minimum of 990 yen, and adding the salad bar made it seem a bit pricey. I didn't opt for the drink bar as I was short on time. The salad bar offered 13 different items including lettuce, paprika, watercress, red onions, boiled mushrooms, corn, seaweed, purple cabbage, carrots, zucchini, bean sprouts, edamame, and broccoli. The lettuce was fresh, but the carrots were a bit dry. The broccoli was overcooked and the corn seemed to be from a can. Unfortunately, the dressings available were all standard pre-made dressings like Caesar, Southern, Italian, and Yuzu, lacking a homemade touch. I ended up using salt, vinegar, and olive oil that were provided, but surprisingly there was no pepper, only shichimi. The salad bar also had fruits like melon, pineapple, orange, grapefruit, and banana, as well as coffee jelly for dessert. On the miso soup side, there were two types of pickles, cabbage miso soup, and a potato carrot corn soup. The miso soup lacked ingredients and flavor, while the soup lacked depth. The pickles seemed to be artificial with excessive coloring. The main dish was disappointing as well. The deep-fried tofu looked unappetizingly brown and was topped with lotus root and mushroom stew that wasn't very tasty. Perhaps something like fried chicken would have been a safer option. For rice, you could choose between white rice, mixed grain rice, and plum seaweed rice. I opted for the mixed grain rice in a regular portion. Overall, I felt that the price was high considering the taste, and it was truly disappointing. The restaurant had a vibe similar to a chain store.

I used to come here before, but it's been a while since my last visit. The salmon fry set meal was 990 yen. Water, towels, pickles, and miso soup are self-service. The place feels a bit old-fashioned, but the seats are spacious. There are also partitions between tables. Thank you for the meal!

Located in Naka-Meguro, Black River Eatery is a place I have lost count of how many times I have visited. I first discovered this place when a popular dance vocal unit mentioned on TV that they sometimes eat here. When I first arrived in Naka-Meguro, I was captivated by its stylish atmosphere and unique charm. Despite feeling a bit lost in the area, I managed to find my way to Black River a few years ago. The salad bar at Black River offers a variety of fresh vegetables and dressings, ensuring that you never get bored. The soup and miso soup are also delicious and unlimited. I particularly enjoy the small side dishes offered here. Even without a main dish, I feel content and happy just enjoying the salad bar. When looking for a lunch spot in Naka-Meguro, it's hard to find a better option than Black River Eatery.

I felt like eating vegetables, so I decided to try the lunch set with a salad bar at Kurokawa Shokudo in Naka-Meguro. It's about a 5-minute walk from Naka-Meguro Station along Yamate-dori. I was running out of lunch options in Naka-Meguro, but I saw the sign for the lunch set with salad bar and decided to go in. I ordered the tuna cutlet set with a drink and salad bar. The soup was a miso soup with plenty of vegetables, and the salad bar had a variety of options. I couldn't eat much due to my hangover, but it was delicious.

Vegetables are all-you-can-eat at the buffet and they are delicious. I ordered fried tofu as my main dish, but I might not have needed it because the fried chicken everyone else was eating looked good. Miso soup and other soups are also all-you-can-drink. There are plenty of seaweed options available. Amazing.

I visited this place for the second time, having been here before. When I arrived on a weekday at 7:20 pm, the restaurant was empty and the staff was slow to greet me. I was told to sit wherever I liked. I ordered the Miso Mackerel set meal, which came with access to the salad bar for an additional 350 yen. The salad bar had a good variety of items, although I noticed there were no tomatoes. The Miso Mackerel arrived quickly and although the fish was small, the sweet and savory balance of flavors was good. Overall, the experience felt like eating at a company cafeteria. I might wander off on another food adventure soon. Thank you!

It's been a while since I visited Naka-Meguro, and the soba restaurant I was planning to go to was unexpectedly closed. So, I decided to try a new restaurant that caught my eye on the main street - "Kurokawa Shokudo". The interior seemed to be targeting female customers, which was nice. They had a salad bar and self-service miso soup, which also seemed to cater to female customers. The food took a bit long to come out, and when it did, the taste of the tuna cutlet was overshadowed by the strong tartar sauce. Overall, I was somewhat satisfied, but the mixed grain rice was disappointing as it was too firm. Thank you for the meal. I don't think I'll be visiting again.

This time we went for dinner. The prices are about 100 yen higher compared to lunch. It's good when you want to eat a set meal. The ginger pork I ordered had thick, tender meat. It had a slight smell, maybe due to how it was cooked, but it was delicious. It's tasty enough, but the lunch menu offers better value.

I used it for lunch near Naka-Meguro Station. I ordered Chicken Nanban & Sweet and Sour Set Meal (tax included 1,000 yen) and Salad Bar (300 yen). The luxurious salad bar with a wide variety of choices is very good. I think 300 yen is a great deal. There is also miso soup, soup, and fruit. The set meal is also delicious. When you order a set meal, coffee is also included as a service. You can take one cup of coffee home. The coffee is also delicious. If you add the salad bar, it will exceed 1,000 yen, but it is a great restaurant where you can be more than satisfied. I would like to visit again.

Located within walking distance from Naka-Meguro Station, Kurokawa Shokudo is a popular teishoku (set meal) restaurant. We visited around 8 pm on a weekday for dinner. This teishoku restaurant offers a salad bar option for an additional 380 yen when ordering a set meal, which would otherwise cost 880 yen individually. The menu offers a wide variety of set meals, including meat, fish, and vegetable options. I ordered the Agedashi Tofu Teishoku, while my companion ordered the Chicken Nanban Teishoku, both with the salad bar option. We could choose from white rice, multigrain rice, or plum and seaweed rice, and I opted for the plum and seaweed rice. The salad bar had a variety of vegetables, fruits, and soups. The Agedashi Tofu had a generous portion and was delicious. The rice portion was also ample, as expected in a teishoku restaurant. We enjoyed the salad bar so much that we ended up having two plates of salad, two types of soup, and dessert. The dessert options included oranges, pineapples, grapefruits, chocolate banana, and custard pudding. With a wide selection of main dishes and plentiful salad options, this restaurant is a great place to visit. It seemed popular among solo diners and office workers. It's a perfect spot for those looking to get their daily dose of vegetables. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I was looking for a lunch spot in Naka-Meguro and was drawn to the "Salad Bar," so I decided to visit here. It was around 1:00 on a weekday and the restaurant was about 70% full. The restaurant is on the second floor, so I quickly looked at the menu downstairs and then entered the restaurant to make my final menu selection. The interior of the restaurant is spacious, but there was only one server. Some tables that were not occupied had not been cleared, so it seemed like the restaurant was not fully managed. If you add 300 yen to the set meal, you get a salad bar included. Not only the salad bar, but also soup, miso soup, oshinko, fruits, and coffee are included, which is a great deal. I wanted to try the hamburger steak that I saw on the sign below, but when I asked the server, they said it was only available for dinner. I ended up ordering the Agedashi Tofu set meal instead. However, when I looked at the sign again on my way out, it said "Tomato Cheese Hamburger Steak 1280 yen - Today's Lunch!" So the server was mistaken about it being only available for dinner. This was quite disappointing. The salad bar was advertised as "Salad bar selected by a farmer's son," but it was quite ordinary. The variety of vegetables was not that great, and it was clear that the prices of vegetables have been rising lately. Some items that were listed on the menu on the website, like broccoli and tomatoes, were not available. The fruits included canned peaches, which was disappointing. The miso soup was bland, and the seaweed soup was too strong. The Agedashi Tofu set meal was the only dish that I enjoyed, with plenty of vegetables in the sauce. The coffee was self-serve, but it was weak. The building's exterior looked stylish, but the interior lacked cleanliness, and the staff did not give off a good impression. The overall experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The entire interior is non-smoking, but there is a smoking area right by the entrance, so the smell of smoke wafted into the restaurant. I would not recommend this restaurant to non-smokers. It would be better if the smoking area was further away from the entrance. This restaurant seems to be popular in Shimokitazawa, but I will not be returning. I apologize for being critical, but this is my honest opinion. Thank you for the meal.
