Los 30 mejores restaurantes familiares en Arakawa (2024)

Phenomenal pizza and great experience. I saw this on the Top 100 pizza list (no 16!) and I was in Tokyo for business. It did not disappoint. The chef was a pleasure to watch and was a real artist. I got the Bufala pizza (I’m a purist) but everything looked good. It’s a small, intimate venue, so not really great for parties of more than 4, but it did not disappoint despite high expectations.

I had the pleasure of visiting Pizza on 38th, and I must say, it’s truly one of the most exceptional pizza establishments I’ve ever encountered. The warm and welcoming service provided by Vu and the rest of the staff was truly exceptional. Chef Lorenzo’s unique approach to crafting pizzas resulted in magnificent creations that were infused with a special touch. Every dish was a culinary masterpiece, leaving me speechless. The intimate setting of Pizza on 38th added to the overall experience, and I was genuinely blown away. I’m eagerly looking forward to my next visit. I want to express my gratitude for the fantastic experience provided. Lorenzo even took the time to engage in conversation while preparing our dishes, and the head chef’s polite and kind service made this experience truly unforgettable.

(Traducido por Google) Absolutamente perfecto. Algunas de las mejores pizzas que he probado. Excelente manera de probar diferentes tipos de pizza. El lugar es fantástico con un ambiente único. El servicio es de primera categoría. Primera vez que salgo de una pizzería y no me siento pesado. Debe intentarlo si puede conseguir una reserva.(Original)Absolutely perfect. Some of the best pizzas i ever had. Great way to taste different types of pizza. Place is fantastic with a unique atmosphere. Service is top notch. First time I leave a pizza place and don’t feel heavy. Must try if you can get a reservation.

Really good pizza. We don't drink alcohol, so would have been nice to have a few more options on the menu for soft drinks.There were dividers blocking the windows, so no view. At least the chef Paulo was fun and entertaining.They clearly display vegan/vegetarian options, so that's nice too!

One can simply not beat around the bush when having dined at this establishment.Without a flicker of doubt, the pizza here is simply the best I have ever had In my life so far.But it's not just the pizza that is exemplary, the decor, seating and especially the staff are all of a very high level.The Pizza Bar on 38th finds itself in an interesting setting. A classy marble furnished L shaped bar with just 8 seats all overlook the chef hard at work assembling the pizzas before laying them in the oven to cook to that crisp perfection.A truly stunning, mouth watering view.The bar is in an interesting location as it shares an open-plan space with the dining room of another restaurant. As a result there are some tables right next to the bar, but it didn't bother me, as I quite enjoyed the slightly bustling atmosphere when I arrived at 2:00pm which gradually became quieter as the meal progressed (I'd recommend coming at 2:00pm for a quieter meal.)I wanted to get a light, refreshing dish to wet my appetite for the main course and the tomato salad was perfectly suited to that task. Plump, sweet, full of flavour tomatoes paired with a herby, tangy basil sauce with a smooth, herby olive oil was the perfect starter and a taste of what was to come.I'm something of a purist toppings wise so their "Diavola" comprising of-tomatoes, fior di latte, rocketand a choice of spicy soppresata or toscana salami was the perfect choice for me.Once it was carefully assembled by the wonderful chef who described in detail the origin of the ingredients and the technical detail of the pizza, it was time to dig in.As I started to dismantle the pizza, piece by piece I was stunned as I couldn't find anything they could of improved on, it was just perfect.The base was just the right amount of firmness, not too loose, not too hard with a ever so slight crisp to just to balance out the textures.A truly great crust is very hard to find but they nail it here, crisp on the outside yet fluffy and light on the Inside, the best comparison I can think of is like a light, homemade ciabatta, not overly tough or doughy crusts here!The salami adds a meaty, rich touch which is not too fatty and with slight nutty and peppery notes, just the right type of meat with just the right amount to add that carnivorous kick.You can't mention the salami without mentioning the rocket however, the rocket works hand in hand with the salami, contrasting in the best way, adding freshness and a peppery slightly bitter kick which bounces off the meaty, rich salami.But as far as I'm concerned, the best of all of it has to be the tomato base. Bursting with herby, tangy, sweet, rich notes and flavours, while not being overpowering at the same time is a very hard feat yet it accomplishes all of that.Paired with creamy, smooth mozzarella cheese, the mozzarella cheese to tomato was the perfect ratio.The very best pizza I've ever had.I also shared their Calzone with a friend I'd made as having seen it made for another guest we decided we couldn't pass up on that opportunity.What a great desicion that was.The calzone comprised ofMozzarella, Provolone, Parmigiano Reggiano,Mortadella, Ricotta-nduja and spinach.The calzone was unlike any calzone I've had before, it almost reminded me of an English style savoury pie.Strong flavours were all battling for supremacy here yet it worked beautifully.The nduja in it was among the best I've tried, deeper spicy and sausage flavours than I've ever had before, (sometimes I feel that nduja can be overwhelmingly spicy and lack in flavour.)Easily the best thing alongside the pizza has to be, the pizza chef we had.As I mentioned earlier, as he served and presented the pizza he explained in great detail the origin of the Ingredients, the technique and answered any of the questions we had.A highly professional, excellent chef, I look forward to seeing him and the rest of the team when I come again.Overall I can't recommend The Pizza Bar on 38th enough, a supremely excellent establishment.

Best Pizza of my Life (till date)!I’m a huge fan, Pizza Bar is definitely deserving of their No. 1 Ranking in the Asia Pacific Pizza award!I went twice as a solo diner during my recent holiday, loved the food so much.I tried their Truffle Pizzino, Pomodoro Pizza, & Mortdella Bianca Pizza, really good quality ingredients, super flavorful & amazing crust. Also enjoyed the Stracciatella cheese, and two complimentary items - corn with cheese, plus my new favorite drink, their Tomato juice mixed with olive oil & ginger ale.Thank you so much Chef Paolo, Chef Daniele, service member Vy, plus the rest of the team for their warm hospitality and great dining experience! Highly recommend to visit!

Amazing place. Delicious pizzas and fun atmosphere.Loved the truffle bread the most. The pumpkin appetizer they serve in the beginning is just great 👍🏻.The margarita pizza was great but the 4 cheese with truffle honey was super delicious and unique.

Arguably the best pizza experience of my life (I’ve also had my fair share of pizzas as I lived in east coast US and frequented New York often)Every single dish was a hit, and I also enjoyed all the side dishes and balsamic vinegar they served.Not quite Neapolitan in style, but closer to it than NY style pizza. Light crust, and definitely more on the crispy side.Loved the seasonal mountain vegetable pizza and their calzone. The dessert was probably the weakest, but definitely still deliciousHard to book then, even harder now it seems, but if you ever get the chance to dine here, don’t waste it 😁P.S. seems like this place is course/omakase style dining now. They served pizza ala carte during my visit in 2023

One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. Everything about this meal was incredible. The staters, the truffle pizza and the margarita were all simply delicious. The space itself is amazing too with unmatched views of Tokyo. Highly, highly recommend.

The best pizza I ever had.located in the beautiful Mandarin Oriental Hotel, top quality ingredients, Chef Cason, pizza of the year 2022, was very friendly sharing about his favorite ingredients.For any food lover, you shouldn’t miss it.Pizza are on the pricy side, $40 for the special one, but it’s an experience

Visited alone last month. Had the most wonderful evening! Pizzas were expectedly delicious and Chef Cason is so attentive and friendly. Even offered me half portions so I could try more dishes. Would return!

This pizzeria wins first place ‘ 50 top pizza Asia pacific ‘The seats is really hard to get, I waited 2 months though I must say it worth to visitThat pizza dough! Aw, I can still dreaming …Moreover the creation of fancy ingredients in JapanThe most fancy pizza I have ever tryI normally do not pick marinara pizza but I love it most from that night pizza course

Everything was amazing, better then what I expected for sure!! I love the ingredients are mostly sourced in Japan!! Pumpkin from Hokkaido, figs from Okinawa, mozzarella made daily!! Impressive you can really taste the layers from flavours from each dish!! Bonus have to go to the bathroom!! Best view I ever seen while peeing!!

Everything about this place was perfect! The pizza made with Italian techniques and Japanese produce was so good. Favourites were the shungiku calzone and the spring special - pea pizza. The head chef was so friendly and kind to every single diner and made sure nobody felt left out or bored. The packet of Italian chocolates to bring home was such a sweet way to end the meal! There are only 8 seats so it can be tricky to get a seat here, but well worth the effort!!!

The best pizza in Tokyo. Mandarin Oriental’s 8-seater pizza bar, located on the 38th floor of the hotel. Exquisitely curated and prepared creations. Italian and locally sourced ingredients, bringing together flavours and textures that stimulate your taste buds and beyond. Sous chef, Paolo, is exceptional at his craft, carefully and precisely creating perfection, whilst embracing guests’ culinary journey. Impeccable.

An amazing pizza experience.Chef Lorenzo was basically a story teller for all the dishes served, where he explained every ingredient used in the dishes as well as its origin.The food was amazing and one of a kind.It was very Muslim friendly as we informed the restaurant in advance that we don’t consume alcohol or pork, to which the complied with.

(Traducido por Google) MEJOR. PIZZA. ALGUNA VEZ.Una de las primeras reservas para cenar que hicimos cuando estábamos planeando nuestro viaje a Japón. Las reservas se abren (¡y prácticamente se llenan el mismo día!) 2 meses o 60 días antes de la fecha de la cena. Mi marido había puesto una alarma para que pudiéramos conseguir estas reservas, ¡y desde entonces estábamos esperando con ansias la aventura! ¡Y Dios mío, se cumplió y cómo!El restaurante tiene capacidad para 8 personas y creo que tienen un total de 4 asientos por día.La base de la pizza fue preparada frente a nosotros con mucho cuidado y meticulosidad. Estaba crujiente, luminoso y aireado. Sinceramente, ¡probablemente el mejor que hemos probado!Los diversos ingredientes también se adornaron en cada una de las pizzas justo frente a nosotros, ¡y el chef conversó con todos nosotros al mismo tiempo!Probamos 8 tipos diferentes de pizzas, ¡y mis favoritas fueron la pizza marinara y la pizza de calabacín! Dado que mi esposo y yo somos vegetarianos, el chef tuvo mucho cuidado para asegurarse de que cumplieran con nuestra restricción dietética.¡Recomendaría este restaurante a todos los amantes de la pizza!(Original)BEST. PIZZA. EVER.One of the first dinner reservations we made when we were planning our Japan trip. The reservations open up (and pretty much fill out the same day!) 2 months or 60 days prior to the date of the dinner. My husband had kept an alarm so we could get these reservations, and we had been looking forward to the affair since! And OMG, it delivered and how!The restaurant is an 8 seater, and I believe they have a total of 4 seatings a day.The pizza base was prepared in front of us with such care and meticulousness. It was crispy, light and airy - honestly probably the best we have had!The various toppings were garnished onto each of the pizzas right in front of us as well, and the chef chatting with us all at the same time!We tried 8 different types of pizzas, and my favourite ones were the marinara pizza and the zucchini pizza! Given that my husband and I are vegetarian, the chef took great care to ensure they stuck to our dietary restriction.I would recommend this restaurant to all pizza lovers!

Having pizza in Japan? Indeed an unconventional idea given there are countless delicious traditional Japanese food/restaurants hence it’s always already a tough decision which to go or need to skip in a short stay in Tokyo. Yet, The Pizza Bar on 38th (of the Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo) is certainly a must-go place if you are fancy with delicate pizza to “experience” this unique Pizza Omakase meal.Great food (pizza made from those lovely dough using fine Italian ingredients/water + toppings largely from local farms), great choice of wine/beverage for pizza (the restaurant offers a few pairing menu but I’ve only a glass of white and red each only, from local brewery in Japan of course, for a lunch) and most importantly an extraordinary dinning experience (as the pizza are freshly made in front of you, how they are each introduced and served - for photos of course 😆). Really yummy and impressive!There are only 8 seats (I guess as a pizza can cut into 8 pieces) hence make sure you plan ahead and make reservation in advance.Lastly, arrive on-time and don’t be late.

(Traducido por Google) Sin duda, una de las experiencias más singulares que tuve. ¿Quién hubiera pensado que hay pizza omakase?Reservamos este lugar con 3 meses de anticipación para nuestro viaje a Tokio. Con solo 8 asientos por porción, nos tomó un tiempo encontrar un lugar. Pero ¿por qué sólo 8 asientos? ¡Cortaron cada pizza en 8 porciones!¡Los ingredientes estaban frescos! Mi favorita era la pizza de trufa (que dijeron que es un plato estrella y la tendrán siempre). ¡Era el cerdo ibérico con higos! Fue sólo una muestra del cielo.Me encantó la interacción con los chefs y el invitado a mi lado. Conocer gente nueva y disfrutar de buena comida. ¿Cómo puede algo superar eso?(Original)Hands down one of the most unique experience I had. Who would of thought there's pizza omakase!!!!Booked this place 3 months in advance for our trip to Tokyo. With only 8 seatings per serving it took a while for us to a spot. But why 8 seatings only? They cut each pizza into 8 slices!The ingredients were fresh! My favourite was the truffle pizza ( which they said its a signature dish will have it everytime) the. It was the iberico pork with fig! It was just a taste of heaven.Loved the interaction with the chefs and the guest next to me. Getting to meet new people and enjoying great food. How can anything beat that!

Coming from NYC we had high expectations for pizza, and Pizza Bar on 38th presented a unique interpretation that easily competes with the best pizzerias. Each course is served omakase-style, and you get to see the chef make each pizza from scratch right in front of you. The ingredients used are sourced fresh from local vendors, and they use water sourced from Italy for the dough. This results in pizzas with extremely airy, fluffy, and crispy crust with fresh, delicious toppings. The focaccia bread, cinque formaggi with truffle honey, and the pizza marinara were all standouts. They even gave us a small sample of raw dough to play with, and it felt like light, springy mochi. Definitely one of the best pizzas I have had, and I would never have thought it would be in Tokyo.

Pizza served omakase style seems so obvious a concept after you eat here, but they do it at such a high level it’s hard to imagine it being done any better. With only eight seats, it’s a tough reservation (reserve 2 months out), but it’s worth the effort and every yen you pay for the exquisite food and fun experience. This is pizza at the highest level, and I don’t mean the 38th floor.

Phenomenal pizza omakase experience featuring one-of-a-kind pizzas made with exceptional farm-to-table ingredients in a luxurious dining space. It was fascinating watching the chefs handle pizza with such care. This is simply the best pizza I ever had. The dough is soft, crispy, and airy at the same time. Service is also quick and professional. Be sure to reserve a spot if you are ever in Tokyo. A place not to be missed for all pizza lovers.

I can absolutely recommend this place if you want to have a superior experience to taste a very delicious tasty pizza.If you are looking for an excellent place to taste very natural and refined ingredients, that’s the right place for you. I’m Italian and I’m very picky about food, so I can say that me and my parents were extremely satisfied after this incredible experience!Very well done and thanks for the pizza makers and the hospitality they reserved to us.

The Pizza Bar on 38th stands as a beacon for discerning food enthusiasts seeking the pinnacle of Italian cuisine. My wife and I recently indulged in the Omakase menu paired with exquisite wines, and we were left enraptured, already planning our return.As we entered, we were greeted by the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked pizzas emanating from the brick oven. The ambiance was inviting, with a bustling energy that spoke of the culinary delights awaiting us. Seated at the counter, we eagerly anticipated the gastronomic journey ahead.The star of the evening was the classic Bufala pizza, a testament to the simplicity and elegance of traditional Italian flavors. Each bite was a revelation, with the creamy Buffalo mozzarella melding seamlessly with the tangy tomato and fragrant basil, all resting atop a flawlessly baked organic crust. It was a symphony of taste that left us craving more.What truly elevated our experience was the impeccable wine pairing curated by the knowledgeable staff. Each glass complemented the flavors of the dishes, enhancing our enjoyment and creating a harmonious dining experience that lingered long after the last sip.Executive Chef Daniele Cason's dedication to his craft was evident in every aspect of our meal. From the meticulously prepared pizza dough, crafted with Italian organic flour and subjected to a 48-hour fermentation process, to the artful presentation of each dish, it was clear that only the highest standards of quality and excellence were upheld.The intimate setting of the 8-seat marble bar added to the allure, offering a front-row seat to the culinary magic unfolding before us. It felt like a journey through Italy, with each pizza telling a story of tradition and innovation, expertly crafted by the skilled hands of the pizzaiolo.It comes as no surprise that The Pizza Bar on 38th has received numerous accolades and awards, including recognition from prestigious institutions such as the Michelin Guide and Gambero Rosso Magazine. Their commitment to excellence has cemented their place as one of the world's top Italian restaurants, a fact reaffirmed by their impressive list of achievements.In conclusion, our experience at The Pizza Bar on 38th was nothing short of extraordinary.

We left feeling not only satisfied but inspired, eager to return and explore more of the culinary delights that this establishment has to offer. If you're in search of an unforgettable dining experience, look no further than The Pizza Bar on 38th.

MAR 2024Made a reservation for dinner at 'The Pizza Bar On 38th', located on the 38th floor of the Mandarin Oriental hotel. It is an eight seat counter bar where you can see all the pizzas prepared by two chefs. The pizza omakase includes a starter, eight slices of pizza and dessert. The chefs were friendly and interactive, explaining the origins of the ingredients used, from the seasonal Japanese vegetables to the cheese and tomato sauce imported from Italy. Pizza dough was carefully and skillfully stretched and the cooking time in the oven was very quick. The crust was crispy outside, soft and airy inside; base was thin but was able to hold it's form. Every slice of pizza was delicious; from the traditional marinara and margherita to the more unique combination of Japanese mountain vegetable toppings and a pizza in a focaccia sandwich form with truffle and black olive. The last slice of pizza was a dessert pizza, finished with a fancy affogato. You also get a chance to make your own mini pizza which they will bake for you; the dough was so soft and pillowy. It was the most expensive pizza meal I've had but the dining experience was memorable with great service and most importantly all the pizzas were very tasty, probably can't pick a favorite.

Nothing can compete this pizza, one of the best pizzas I have ever tried. Not just that, the whole experience was so great and so friendly. I would truly thank Chefs and his team for these great dishes. I would also thank them for taking care of our food as we are Muslim, this is truly much appreciated. All the types of pizzas were so good, and the ingredients were so fresh.It's hard to get a spot here, but it really deserves all the hard work to get one.

Truly a unique experience and some of the best pizza I've ever had! Pao and his team were welcoming and answered all of our questions. We watched him make every pizza, using the freshest seasonal ingredients from local farms. There are only eight seats for each seating, so if you're able to book it, don't miss out!

Pizza omakase in the Mandarin Oriental. Super good, we really enjoyed the experience and food. Italian is supposedly rly good in Japan. They make the pizza right in front of you. So fresh and the dough is muah! Interesting flavors like cauliflower + uni, duck + carrot. We loved the focaccia bread ones too. The Woody Farm & Winery sauvignon blanc was another muah - tasted like Riesling, very crisp. Definitely $$$, need res - 8 person bar seating

Pros:- Amazing food! The pizza dough was so light, which made it easier to have many slices!- Fresh Japanese and Italian ingredients, I loved the fusion- Great wine pairing! I had to ask for the wine list!Cons:- Because 2 people were late, we had to wait for them to arrive before starting the course. I understand why so to all folks going to the restaurant, please try to be on time!- Although everything was delicious, I have to say it is quite pricey for a dinner course because at the end of the day, it is just pizza. And pizza doesn't need expensive ingredients to taste good. I can go to a sushi omakase for cheaper 😅Overall a really great experience with spectacular service!

Absolutely amazing pizza omakase/degustation experience where the chefs prepare 8 different slices along with a few other small dishes that will completely change your perspective on pizza.We had an absolute blast coming here celebrating a special occasion together. Highly highly recommend this course, even though it is on the pricier side, if you're looking to do something special and different.They've won quite a number of awards and honestly this is the best pizza we've ever had. They have their own twists on the classics, like a margherita topped with burata cheese called the bufala, as well as original pizzas based on seasonal ingredients.Their dough is on another level, super soft and fluffy yet when baked and bitten into, it was crunchy, airy with the perfect amount of chew. While all slices were amazing, our favorites were their bufala and their mortadella e straciatella pizzas.They do 2 services per evening and you do need to book well in advance online via the Mandarin Oriental hotel website. You'll also be asked to pay for the meal about a week before as they only seat 8 people per service and they do a ton of prep to show their guests a great time.The chefs are awesome and their team will make sure you have a memorable experience. They speak in both English and Japanese and can be interactive if you want to be.

I really didn’t expect to find the best pizza of my life in Tokyo when I’ve been to Italy. This pizza omakase was absolutely delicious and had charming little surprises here and there that kept the meal exciting. The chefs were so talented, friendly, and entertaining! My favourite out of all the slices was the marinara, it was such an elevated taste for a simple pizza. My second favourite was their seasonal vegetable pizza. The olive oil you can dip your crust in is also amazing!

(Traducido por Google) ¡En la tierra de la cocina Omakase, por supuesto, las pizzas no pueden estar exentas! Se consideró afortunado si consiguió asientos en el último aviso, ya que solo hay 8 en el mostrador. ¡Definitivamente una experiencia única en la vida con muchos carbohidratos!(Original)In the land of Omakase cuisine of course pizzas can’t be exempted! Considered yourself lucky if getting seats at last notice since there are only 8 of them at the counter. Definitely once in a life time experience with lots of carbs!

It is a fine dining experience for pizza. I really enjoyed the omakase course, where you get to try six different flavors of pizza and a wonderful affogato dessert. The quality of the ingredients is truly outstanding, and the price is totally justified.

Located inside of the Mandarin Oriental, that alone tells you that the restaurant will be over priced, now is it over rated?Good pizza dough, light, crispy with the right chew, imported ingredients, fresh, some fusion pizza tailored for Japanese taste.So what is special about this place that requires a 2 months wait and all of these best pizza ratings? In my opinion, nothing. In Japan, it is typical for these type of small 8 seater restaurants to have long waits, especially if it has any popularity, to makes up for the turn over, the prices are jacked up. Like I always say, you put truffles on anything, it will taste divine. The 2nd reason is because good pizza joints in Tokyo are rare. I have lived in Tokyo for years and have found only just a couple of pizza joints that are acceptable. You can forget about Dominos and Pizza Hut. So these above average pizza joints like 38th just jump to the top. I have had pizza with either the same or better quality in Italy, minus the truffles at 1/10 the price.In summary, pizza is a simple comfort food, it should never be on a prefix menu and charge this much money. This place is on Michelin Guide, I know a street vendor in Bangkok who has a Michelin ⭐. Again, good pizza, overpriced and overrated.

way too difficult to book but overall not surprisingly. pizza omakase dinner， just too much carbs for me. pizza was good in taste, thin crispy crust, and the place had great view. service was good. selection of wine was not good. tried once was okay and i suggest lunch but not dinner.

Best pizza I have had full stopI've had good pizza before but this just blows it out of the water though I will say you will be paying more.The course pair mocktails Ill say weren't as good as the pizzas. I'd give the mocktails like 4ish starsBut to give this place anything less than 5 stars would be a crime. I never knew pizza could taste this good.The picture with the small pizza+olive on top is what I made i.e. they gave you dough and you could make something yourself. That atrocity certainly wouldn't be served purposely at this establishment. The cooks were fun and it was just a really great atmosphereReservations are a pain to get I'll say. Iirc 8am pst 30 days out. Understandable. The food was phenomenal and only like 8 seats.Would I come here again: absolutely
