Helpfulness
Stepping out of the lift of the Shinjuku Nova building and into the restaurant, my senses were calmed and relaxed by the combination of soothing music, subdued lights, and hushed sounds that greeted us. The decor was expansive, modern, and elegant and makes you feel you are cool and beautiful. The food is similar. It is very modern, extremely creative, and beautifully presented. The menu calls it nouvelle cuisine japonaise.
Best of all, apart from being fun to eat, it really tastes out of this world!
Favorite Dish: Service: was good, very attentive at all times, and although the staff did not always understand us, they did make an effort to get someone who could help us. Menu was in Japanese and English, with prices stated accordingly.
Instead of having an appetizer, main course and desert each, to fully appreciate the extent of Daidaya's creativity and variety, I do recommend that you order a number of entrees, a couple of mains and share them. Don't forget to save some space for the deserts... which were so good, my tastebuds came alive with every bite.
Favourite Dish:
Do I really have to pick one? Everything was good, but here are some of my personal favourites:
- Beef medalions that you grill yourself
- Salad with Seared Pork Strips
- Lightly seared tuna sashimi
- California Rolls
- Home-made Mango Ice Cream
- Fresh Fig Cheesecake
-Home-made Sesame Ice-Cream
**caveat: sorry, I'm not sure of the exact names, but I am sure you'll know, when you taste them!

Outstanding elegance. Creative food that is fun to eat and best of all, it's really delicious!. The presentation of the food was always interesting and fun. For example, some of the dishes require you to grill your own food, others involve breaking open pastry shells to get to the goodies inside. Even plain ole rice becomes exciting when presented in tidy present-like parcels made out of bamboo leaves!
We visited the Daidaya in Shinjuku, but apparently at the Daidaya at Ginza, you can sit around a Zen sand garden, or in a heavily draped room, or at a 60-meter sushi bar.
Favorite Dish: Some menu items:
Omakase: Japanese Full Course Dinner: Yen4,000 - 10,000
ala carte menu averagely: Y580 - 1,400 per entree or main course
Wine: We had the Australian Wolf Blass Cabernet Sauvignon 2002 vintage Y4,200
Adding it all up: Expect to pay Y5,000 to 10,000 per person
Don't forget to make reservations!
If you think this is expensive, it really isn't. Compare this with a bowl of ramen with pork slices at an ordinary noodle shop at Y1,500 or Y3,000 for set sushi lunch.
