99ramen
March 9th, 1999
A great ramen place to try is in Ebisu. I think it's called 99
ramen (or quew jew quew). To get
there, exit Ebisu station through the West exit and then walk to the main road and turn
right back under the train tracks. Continue down that road a couple of blocks until
you get to a street that has a pedestrian bridge. Cross the bridge and continue down
the road just a few stores. You can't miss it as it is always busy. （map)
They have cheese ramen. Although it's interesting I don't recommend you order it as a main
meal. It's like eating a big bowl of cheese. The rest of their ramen is great.

Seiryuumon
March 9th, 1999
A cool place that's fun to take people is Seiryuumon. Seiryuumon is a
small chain. The one I went to is in Shinjuku from the East exit a few stores down
from the old Kinokuniya bookstore (vs the new Kinokuniya near the south exit) It's a
chinese restaurant that is very very themed (ie, decorated). It's a great place to
take somebody when you don't have any special idea of where to take somebody. The
one in Shinjuku is two stories and each floor is completely different though they both
have the same menu. Some tips: One, the name of the restaurant is written in Kanji
so you should ask somebody for directions unless you can read Kanji. Two, order alot
as the dishes are small (it's almost like eating dimsum) 4 to 6 dishes for each 2 people.
Three, unless you are a party of 8 to 12 you'll probably share a table with other
people. Just FYI.

Chibo
March 9th, 1999
A place I've often gone is Chibo,
the okonomiyaki place at Yebisu Garden Plaza at the top
of the large building there. It's part of a chain. It's probably not the best
okonomiyaki but it's not bad and the view is great from the 37th floor.
Especially if you are from out of town you might want to check it out since
you get both the view and you get to try something new.

L'Habitude
March 9th, 1999
For really good and really inexpensive French food my friend Natsuko introduced me to
this place
It's about a 15 minute walk from Kagurazaka Station on the Tozai like or
8 minutes from the Odeo Ushigyome Kagurazaka Staion but it's well worth it. At
the time I went a three course meal was only about 3000 yen (about $23).
Highly recommended, especially for couples.
