Picks by Jack's Dining Room in Tokyo

5 places Jack's Dining Room went to in Tokyo — what they said, and what to watch out for.

• IYOSHI COLA Asakusa Rokku — Jack's Dining Room
  Said that even though they don't usually enjoy soda, it was so refreshing they'd call it "the best cola they've ever had in their life."
  Heads up: Said a pack of cola runs about $13, which is pricey, and that the pit vipers on display seem to be mostly for atmosphere.
• Iroriya Higashiginzaten — Jack's Dining Room
  Raved that they pile on so much salmon roe it overflows the bowl and needs a plate underneath, and that the vibe of drinking beer while eating charcoal-grilled skewers felt like a "Japanese Oktoberfest."
  Heads up: Said the lively atmosphere of drinking beer and getting rowdy might not suit those looking for a quiet meal.
• JB's TOKYO — Jack's Dining Room
  Said the buns are incredibly light and fluffy, the patty is pressed just enough to keep the juices in without overdoing it, and the sauce is excellent.
• Shibuya Crossing — Jack's Dining Room
  Called the sight of crowds surging forward every time the light changes like the heartbeat of Tokyo, describing it as an intense experience.
  Heads up: Said the crowds are so massive that first-timers can easily get swept away with just one wrong step.
• Benizuru Pancake — Jack's Dining Room
  Praised the fresh omakase-style pancake bar concept, where they make the batter and grill it right in front of you, topping it with a variety of toppings — and said the taste was excellent too.
  Heads up: Said you have to wake up at 5am, line up for the 7am registration, and prepay for your pancakes, and that they're already sold out by 7:45am.
