Roppongi Restaurants

We visited Sougo on our first night in Tokyo. We had heard it was excellent, and it truly surpassed all our expectations. The ambience, the quality and favor profile of the food, the drinks, the attention to every small detail, the service, the extremely welcoming staff and chef: everything was perfection. The value for money for the quality you get is amazing! We will definitely be back. I would highly recommend dining there while in Tokyo!

What a remarkable experience! We have lived in Japan for the past six months, and this was absolutely our best eating experience since we moved here. The restaurant is very beautiful - private and intimate with just ten seats at the sushi bar. The hostess and her husband, the chef, are just some of the most friendly people I've ever met, and the young lady who took care of the diners and ensured that we always had fresh green tea and a full water glass was attentive and friendly. We had so many questions about the food, about the restaurant and its decorations, and about Japan in general, and the hostess was engaging and informative, teaching us things about sushi, about the local area, and about Japanese culture in general. There were three parties at the restaurant when we went, and we never felt ignored or disregarded. The meal was paced perfectly - the minute you had an inkling of maybe wanting another new experience of sushi, there was the chef, making something else. The ingredients were the best I've tasted, amazingly fresh and prepared perfectly. Though not cheap, the experience was worth every bit of the cost and we plan on going again as often as we are able to get to Tokyo and Roppongi.

Very strange that I’m coming to Tokyo to enjoy American steak but Empire is a quick walk from my Roppongi hotel and the service here is top notch fantastic. It’s also friendly for solo diners and many of the salads and sides can be ordered half-size. They also carry my favorite Napa Merlot by Duckhorn. Head waiter Ito-san is about as professional and old-school as you can find anywhere these days …….all I can say is that Empire is worth the visit and cost because sometimes, no matter where you are, that craving for a juicy, rare, grass-fed USDA prime cut of beef must be fulfilled, with extreme perfection!!

Awesome food! We’ll be back when we return to Japan 😊

It was an amazing evening. The restaurant is downstairs and you sit around the kitchen, like a chefs table. The owner speaks english and helps you with everything. Also the menue is in english.The food is amazing. There are two menues to choose for 5.000 or 7.000 Yen which includes Sashimi, Wagyu and rice and several other dishes. We will come back, when we in Tokyo, 100% percent!!!
