We wanted to eat monjayaki, so my mother and I visited Tsukishima. There are many monjayaki shops here, but for some reason, this one always has a line. We arrived at 5:20 p.m. on Saturday and wrote our names on the list outside to wait. There were about 10 groups ahead of us. This time, we were guided to the second floor for the first time. The second floor is quite spacious as well. We were seated at 6:04 p.m. We ordered the "Kura Special Monja 1.5 servings for 1950 yen" and "Kimchi Fried Rice for 1070 yen." The price has gone up by 50 yen since our last visit. We asked the staff to cook for us, and they kindly prepared it for us. It contains crab, scallops, clams, squid, shrimp, octopus, mentaiko, corn, mochi, and soba, so it's very satisfying. The monjayaki here has a perfect balance of flour and sweetness that tastes delicious. We have visited many times, and they always cook delicious monjayaki for us, so thank you. The saltiness is just right and leaves a lingering deliciousness. The kimchi fried rice surprisingly goes well with the monjayaki and was delicious too. Thank you for the meal. We will visit again.

When you think of Tsukishima, you think of monjayaki. I visited a famous shop and managed to try two kinds before the last order was called 40 minutes before closing. The mentaiko cream monja was a bit sweet, but seemed to be popular with women. The corn was a bit distracting though. And then there was the jet-black monja with squid ink and cheese topping! Yes, it was delicious!! It's a bit hard to tell if it's burnt or just well-cooked because of its color, but it goes really well with alcohol. Smoking is not allowed even in front of the store, so smokers might find it inconvenient having to walk to a designated smoking area.

In Tsukishima, we went on a Monjayaki food tour today. The second stop was Monjayaki Kura. It's 3 pm but there's a line with a 2-group wait. The restaurant has about 10 seats, and it's a popular spot. We waited for about 10 minutes and ordered the Petite Kura Special Monja. Unfortunately, we couldn't have beer this time. The Special Monja had shrimp, squid, clams, octopus, mentaiko, corn, rice cakes, and fresh noodles. It seems the ingredients vary by each shop. The staff made it for us while I took photos. The taste was also flavorful here, with a slightly stronger flavor than the first place, which might appeal more to beer lovers and men. The Special had a generous portion, while the option for a petite size was a nice touch. We enjoyed the delicious Monja and the friendly staff.

Monja Street is located inside. There are many customers, so the staff are unfriendly and the atmosphere is not good. However, I was a little worried because the cream monja was unusual, but it was very delicious. I don't think the cost performance is good and the customer service is disappointing, so I will not visit again.

I visited several shops at Tsukishima Monja Street and, as the reviews say, the food was really delicious! And affordable too! I tried the Kura Special and Salmon Cream, both of which had completely different flavors but were incredibly tasty. Next time, I want to order the Mentaiko Shrimp Cream.

I'm back again! I love this place so much that I don't feel like trying other stores. I want to conquer all the menu items here! Today, the staff and my friends cooked for me, so I just had to eat. I finally tried the squid ink pasta that I've been curious about - it's the best! And the shrimp cream pasta was amazing too. It started off light and gradually became richer - so well made! And of course, I had to finish with the mentaiko cheese pasta. Yes, that's the best! I'll definitely be back again soon! ♡

I arrived around 10:45 on Sunday, but there was already a line in front of the restaurant. I filled out the waiting board and we were the 12th group in line. As soon as the restaurant opened, they started calling out names one after another, and we were called in that batch, so we didn't feel like we waited long. Our order arrived in about 10 minutes. The staff were cooking on the hot plate at other customers' tables, so we asked for the same. The female staff member with a short haircut and inner color helped us, but she seemed a bit grumpy, which was disappointing. The taste of the food was satisfying since this restaurant is easily found online and we visited as tourists, but the quality of the part-time staff is something that cannot be helped. Other staff members were attentive and helpful to customers in need, so I think it was just the person who served our table that was in a bad mood. - Kura Special Monja ¥1950 This is a classic monja with plenty of seafood, and the broth in the batter is quite flavorful. This is my favorite. - Mentaiko Pork Cream Monja ¥1380 The creaminess of this dish is different from the Kura Special Monja. This one is delicious too, but if you have to choose one, go for the Kura Special Monja.

I visited around 12:30. The restaurant was busy but I didn't have to wait in line. I had the special monja and okonomiyaki. The monja was cooked for us and it was delicious, especially the mochi inside. Personally, I prefer okonomiyaki over monja, but I enjoyed the monja after a long time.

I had squid ink monjayaki and petit special monjayaki. The way the staff recommended to cook it must have been good, or maybe these monjayaki dishes are just special, because they were incredibly delicious. I was a bit hesitant about the squid ink, but it actually enhanced the savory flavor of the squid. The stewed tripe was also very tasty. Since monjayaki has a strong flavor, it's best to order it first and eat it while it's being cooked. When we arrived, there were 17 groups ahead of us, but luckily we were seated quickly as those who were called and not present were skipped immediately.

I arrived about 10 minutes before opening because this place was ranked number one on Tabelog. I was the first in line, but soon more people gathered and a line formed in no time. They have a unique dish called "monja" which is fun to choose. This time, I ordered the Kura Special and Doria Monja. The white one is the Doria Monja, which has rice in it. Even if you don't know how to cook it, the staff will show you how to cook the first piece. The second one, we cooked ourselves. Both monja dishes were delicious, and I would like to come back here next time I want to eat monja.

The famous monjayaki restaurant in Tsukishima, Kura Special, ordered 1.5 servings of sausage and cheese monjayaki. Kura Special is the signature menu of this restaurant. It is filled with plenty of seafood such as clams, shrimp, octopus, scallops, cabbage, corn, noodles, and various other ingredients, allowing you to enjoy various flavors and textures. The broth is also delicious, making you realize that monjayaki is really delicious. The sausage and cheese monjayaki, a combination that children would like, was also consistently delicious. Most importantly, I ordered two drinks and the total was just over 4000 yen, very cheap.

Monja Kura, one of the most popular restaurants in the Tsukishima area, opened in 1996. There is always a line at the restaurant, regardless of whether other shops are empty or if there is an impact from COVID. It is always the most popular single store in the area. This is my recommended restaurant. - Location: About 4 minutes from Tsukishima Station, on Nishi-Nakadori 3-chome. - Time of entry: 8:00 PM - Waiting time: About 20 minutes for the 5th group in line - Duration of stay: Approximately 100 minutes - Situation: Always full - Number of visitors: With my wife - Customer service: Very friendly. The staff will make Monja for you. However, they operate with the minimum number of staff, so there may be a bit of a wait. But it's worth it. - Reservations: Only available on weekdays (for groups of four or more) - Exterior: Recently expanded seating by connecting with neighboring shops. - Interior: Spacious and comfortable. With 76 seats, it's a relief compared to other cramped restaurants in the area. - Rating at the time of visit: 3.52 I had been avoiding this place due to the always-long line, but when I finally tried the food, it was delicious! Compared to other shops, the Monja here is easy to eat, rich in flavor, well-balanced, and not too salty even towards the end, so it remains delicious throughout. In terms of taste, I think it's second only to Koboreya. And yet, they have kept their prices reasonable to make it accessible to local residents. Indeed, it is quite affordable compared to other places that set higher prices. The level of service is also good. They will make the Monja for you according to the proper procedure, ensuring a delicious dish. In many other places, I often see shortcuts being taken for the sake of speed. Monja can taste different depending on the broth, base flavors, and cooking methods, so each shop has its own unique taste. The Monja at Kura is one of the best in Tsukishima, delicious and reasonably priced, making it worth waiting in line for. [Orders] - Monja-yaki - Kura Special: 1450 yen - Shoga Negi (ginger and green onion): 880 yen - Side dish - Tomato - Okonomiyaki - Butatama Cheese Ten (pork and egg with cheese): 1230 yen This time, I skipped the mentaiko mochi cheese Monja, which I always order. It's delicious, but after years of eating it every time, I wanted to try something different. The Kura Special is a must-have here because it's so delicious. Based on the staff's recommendation, I ordered the Shoga Negi, which was also delicious! It may be a common choice, but it goes well with alcohol. Despite the line, the turnover is surprisingly fast, so personally, I think it's worth waiting. There's a reason why people line up here. It's a great restaurant. Thank you for the meal! m(_ _)m

I am visiting Tokyo for sightseeing♫ I'm so glad the typhoon changed its course:⁠^⁠) But it is so hot, hot, hot!!! My wife has a concert planned at Ariake Garden, so we had lunch nearby♫ Tsukishima Monja Street!!! It's been a while~^⁠_⁠^ We had the Kura Special Monja, fried rice with pork, and okonomiyaki. To finish, we had Monja with lots of green onions and ginger. The staff were very polite and taught us how to cook the Monja. I prefer okonomiyaki, but Monja is delicious too♪ Of course, everything else was delicious too, and everyone was satisfied(⁠^⁠^⁠) I filmed a video of the Monja, but there are people in it, so sorry... I will come back again for sure(⁠^⁠^⁠)

My first time in Tsukishima. I was expecting a dirty town with just okonomiyaki shops, but I was surprised to see a clean and beautiful street! We lined up to enter Kura, a highly rated restaurant on Tabelog. I haven't been to other restaurants in Tsukishima, so I can't compare, but the food was simply delicious. I couldn't really tell the difference with okonomiyaki, but it was good. The service was chaotic. There was no sense of cleanliness, no responses, just nodding or shaking of heads for communication. I would like to try other restaurants next time. Once you've experienced this place, you're good to go. Thank you for the meal.

After watching sports at the Ariake Arena, we decided to have some Monjayaki in Tsukishima to cap off the day. We went to a place called Kura, where we were lucky to get a seat as it was quite crowded. The prices were reasonable and the menu was easy to navigate. We ordered two types of Monjayaki - Mentaiko Mochi Monja and Gyusuji Monja. It's a DIY style restaurant where you cook your own food. The dashi broth was delicious and we enjoyed cooking and eating while sipping on beer. We also added yakisoba at the end to finish off the meal. Overall, it was a delicious Monjayaki experience at this restaurant.

On a regular Tuesday, I arrived about 15 minutes before opening time and was the fourth group in line. It seemed like a very popular place as customers were coming in non-stop. If you ask the staff, they will cook the monjayaki for you. I ordered the special, seafood, cheese okonomiyaki, and mochi mentaiko cheese. The taste was... well, just delicious. If asked if I would come back, I wouldn't go out of my way to take the train to come here again.

Arrived before 11:30 on Sunday and there was already a line. I entered Monja Street and put my name on the list. Waited for about 30 minutes to get seated. It had been a while since I had monjayaki, so I did some research. According to Tabelog, Monja on Tsukishima is ranked number one. I wondered what it was like. It seems they have creamy monjayaki. I ordered the Kura Special yakisoba, Tuna Doria, and Monja. The special had a variety of seafood which was satisfying. The seasoning for the yakisoba was a do-it-yourself style, but the combination was delicious as it received high praise. As for the Tuna Doria monja, I should have just ordered a regular Doria. I personally think sticking to the regular monjayaki would have been better. I have only had monjayaki a few times before, so I don't have a standard to compare, but I was surprised by the contrast between the crowded and empty restaurants on this street.

Tsukishima Monja Street Challenge. I entered this store because it looked clean. I ordered the traditional Monja-yaki. It operates on a one drink per person system, and the prices for each item are a bit high, so the cost performance is not great. In the midst of many affordable options on Monja Street, this store gives off a strong impression with its pricing. The taste was good and I was satisfied as I could relax in the clean interior, but if you want to experience Tsukishima, it might have been better to try another restaurant.

I wanted to eat Monjayaki, so I went to Tsukishima. My friend made a reservation, so we were able to get in right away, but reservations are not accepted on weekends and holidays. It's a popular restaurant and there can be long lines. The restaurant is located about a 5-minute walk from Tsukishima Station on the Yurakucho Line. The inside of the restaurant is spacious and bustling, with a nostalgic atmosphere of the downtown area. Since I'm not familiar with Monjayaki, I left the ordering to my friend. There were instructions on how to cook for beginners, but I left everything to my friend. I've only had Monjayaki a few times, so I don't know how it compares to others, but it was delicious! I wonder what the difference is between a popular restaurant and a regular one... I'm curious, so I think I'll try exploring some other restaurants!

First time at Tsukishima. The parking garage is expensive! The staff, especially the handsome man, was very kind and skillfully formed the okonomiyaki. Enjoyed the special set with two servings each (lol). Tried cooking the mentaiko mochi cheese myself... but couldn't match the staff's skill (cries). The grilled squid and bean sprout with butter was delicious and satisfying. The bill was a bit high (lol), both for the food and the parking garage. But considering it's a tourist area, it was worth it! Enjoyed a taste of monjayaki that you can't find in Kansai, so it was a great experience!

This is a Monjayaki restaurant located in Monja Street in Tsukishima, Tokyo. The exterior design of the restaurant resembles a storehouse, making it easy to recognize. Both the first and second floors have plenty of table seating, making it a spacious restaurant with a stylish and clean interior. The menu offers a variety of options, with detailed instructions on how to cook Monjayaki, which is very helpful. I tried the "Baby Star Corn and Sakura Ebi Topping" which is a unique combination of Baby Star Ramen added to the standard cabbage, sakura shrimp, and squid ingredients. The chicken-based flavor of Baby Star blends well with the Monjayaki broth, and the slightly softened noodles have a nice texture. The corn and sakura shrimp toppings complement each other well. The broth at this restaurant is light and doesn't overpower the ingredients, allowing the flavors of the Baby Star and sakura shrimp to shine through. The crunchy texture of the corn was also delicious. Next, I tried the "Clam Chowder Monja," which is a creamy dish featuring clam chowder with a rich broth made from clams. The creaminess combined with the cheese-like richness and the umami flavor of the clams, along with the crunchy cabbage, was very tasty. Cream-based Monjayaki dishes are also delicious. This restaurant specializes in light broth Monjayaki, which may suit some people's preferences. Thank you for the meal.
