Nagoya Restaurants

Pedro San Venancio is from Extremadura. A nice and talkative gentleman preparing and serving the best of Spain in Japan. Tell him i sent you...And get ready for a long night.

Favorite Dish: Camarones al Ajillo and the rest of the menu.

"Hot off the grill"... as long as you remove it before it burns.
This grill-in-your-face style of cooking was unusual to me, but at least it allows you to get it exactly the way you want it, and lets you avoid those long pauses in conversation, by becoming engrossed in the food.

I suspect most of the people who visit these pages are familiar with the Sizzler - an American steakhouse with affordable meals.
My stepfather & I stopped here for the familiar cuisine... only so much local food before the tastebuds wanted something from home!
(To be honest, I'd never been to a Sizzler before - David Letterman's jokes have made me steer clear).

Favorite Dish: Nothing out of the ordinary - a nice, regular kind of lunch for a North American taste.

Ooops, I forgot to take down the name of this place! Anyway, you can find it on track 11 (at the end of the platform near the escalator) at Nagoya JR Station.

This type of noodles is Nagoya's specialty. Unlike the udon & soba, it's flat. I like it very much :)


Favorite Dish: Kishimen, be it served cold or hot.

KAWAIYA: Try Nagoya's famous flat Kishimen noodles that resemble fettuccini. Kawaiya's delicious kishimen is a bargain at JPY500. If you don't want your noodles plain, order the ebi oroshi kishime, noodles with shrimp tempura and grated daikon radish at JPY1200.
Regional noodles, inexpensive.

Favorite Dish: Noodles!

MISO NO SUGIMOTO: Whenever I am in Nagoya, I try to eat the delicious sukiyaki that's made with premium Matsuzaka beef. Choose to sit either at the tables and chairs on the first floor or on tatami mats on the second. The menu is less expensive on the first floor.

Favorite Dish: I recommend the delicious sukiyaki.

To tell you the truth... We were at many restaurants and cafe. But, to big to a regret, I have not remembered their name. Only I can tell, that it was pleasant to me at all these restaurants and cafe.

Favorite Dish: To tell you my favorite dishes... It is no easier for me, than to recollect the name of restaurants. But I remember something. I liked very much 'Sushi', 'Tempura' and 'Tofu' (the Japanese dishes).

I only went into downtown three times in the month I was in Japan, and only twice at there, and only at one restaurant, so I'll go ahead and give it my approval. The Hard Rock Cafe. The first time I got an 'All American Bacon Cheese Burger', and the second time a 'Chicken Club Sandwich'. It was so good to have that 'American' food after having nearly 3 weeks of sushi, sashimi, nato, goza, etc. (though all BUT the nato was good... ;P)
Americana. Brought me back to America completely, except for the short oriental waitresses ;P. Good food, at expensive prices (found the same meal at a 'name brand' restaurant back in the US at $5, I spent nearly 2000 yen for it at HRC Nagoya. Good thing I was on a budget, and had most everything paid for anyway! ;P)

Favorite Dish: All American Bacon Cheese Burger definatly.
