Lunch deal in Tokyo

5 places for Lunch deal in Tokyo, picked by creators — with what they said.

• 오가와 — 나의시선
  Says the sauce on the eel rice bowl is insane, melting in your mouth, and calls it crazy value for getting this quality at 1,200 yen.
  Heads up: It opens around 11:25 and you'll need to wait in line for about 30 minutes; recommends mixing in the shishito peppers and shichimi/sansho pepper that come with it to vary the flavor.
• 큐베이 — 나의시선
  Raved that the ingredients are excellent and the shari is insane — every grain of rice practically dances alive in your mouth before melting together with the neta.
  Heads up: Reservations aren't easy, but if you show up around 11:30am for lunch and put your name down, you can get in almost walk-in style, and the lunch set is 2-3 times cheaper than dinner.
• 교엔 로안 — 나의시선
  Raved that the No. 1 most popular sashimi teishoku is truly delicious, and the grilled fish teishoku cooked over the irori is so good it makes you wonder how they grill it that well.
  Heads up: Opens at 11:30am, but by around 11:50 a line forms elsewhere, so check where the actual line is — the grilled fish teishoku is only available at lunch (dinner switches to robatayaki).
• かつどん屋 瑞兆 — 픽필름 pickfilm
  Said it's a must-visit every time they come to Tokyo, calling it the best katsudon, and raved that the sauce-soaked tonkatsu was surprisingly crispy.
  Heads up: Said opening is at 11:30 but they let people in from 11, so it's best to arrive early.
• 天ぷら船橋屋 新宿本店 — 나의시선
  Praises the lunch set where a few pieces are fried right in front of you with expert, clean technique, calling it wonderful.
  Heads up: If the tempura feels like too much, he says it's better to keep it light with just the lunch set.
