I ate a "super" gyro for lunch. It was huge....I think I ate too much. :beaten:

had sushi and chicken terriyaki for dinner.
Ordered the chicken terriyaki because it was $1.25 cheaper then how much sushi i was going to order as second helping. Next time I go to Yuri Sushi, I gotta bring $40 :beaten:

dude...that is some fine dining there....
a meal that much, would be like 5 to 6 dinners at Mr. Lee's Sandwiches, but of course you can't really compare the quality of the type of dinner that you had versus Mr. Lee's :hehe: :mrgreen:

I once went to this "expensive" sushi restaurant, we paid for 2 people $60 which I think is a lot (I was 15 at the time XD) but it was really nice, we got this bento menu and it had the best shrimp I ever had o_O

the dinner my friend and i had in Shinagawa for a Shabu Shabu dinner was 10,000 yen for two people... :bonk:
but that was the most exp meal we had in Tokyo, all others were much more budget conscious. :bonk:

that's actually to be expected in tokyo...i bet it was good though!

my friend and i actually ate at dinner at the Oak Door @ the Grand Hyatt in Roppongi Hills for about 40,000 yen :sweat: I think that was the most expensive dinner of my life..the dining room was gorgeous...they actually have oak wood buring oven in the open air kitchen which is more like a studio.



....but we also had two other less expensive but nonetheless costly meals as well.

it was the best steak i ever ate in my life...bar none. mind you we also had a bottle of wine.


i read in the timeout guide to tokyo...that there is over 100,000 restaurants...guess it depends how much of greater tokyo you include in the sweep.

dude i have this japanese cultural magazine, which i mentioned before, entitled KATEIGAHO...they had articles about cha-kaiseki (traditional Japanese gourmet food) at these ryokan...they show pictures of these meals....which can go up to 35,000 Yen PER PERSON!

From the New York Times Travel Section on Tokyo

At last count, there were more than 190,000 bars and restaurants in Tokyo. :shocked: In the bubble economy of the late 1980s, when money seemed to be no obstacle to anything, dining out became grotesquely expensive: it was possible to spend $1,000 on a steak dinner. The feeding frenzy is over now; wining and dining are still a major component of the Japanese way of life, but a far more sober mood prevails, and that is reflected in the range and cost of restaurants. The high end of the market, of course, has not disappeared, but Tokyo's myriad choices also include bargains -- good cooking of all sorts that you can enjoy even on a modest budget.

in substance yes...but not technically...it's beef from Sendai..which is just north of Tokyo...when we asked the conceirge at the Grand Hyatt front desk for a recommendation for a kobe beef steakhouse she recommended one of the hotels six restuarants...the Oak Door Steakhouse...she said the beef there was as good if not better. so my friend and i looked at each other with blank stares thinking "better?!?" so we had her make us a reservation there and the rest is history!
