Tokyo White Day tabehodai....where to?

March 9, 2010 5:38 PM

MeFites who know Tokyo well, help! Where can I find a good tabehodai (all-you-can-eat) restaurant in Ikebukuro this Sunday for White Day?

Bonus points for just a dessert tabehodai. Double bonus points for a restaurant large enough for a kid in a stroller (teeny tiny cafes, for example, likely out). It doesn't have to be Ikebukuro; Tokyo or Shinjuku would be our second and third choices. Thanks!

Best answer: I'm not overly familiar with Tokyo restaurants, but maybe this list might help? There were a couple caki-hodai places mentioned. Searching for けーきほうだい on google might help, too.

Best answer: There's a Sweets Paradise in Ikebukuro, just outside the east exit. 1,480 yen per person, and I think they have a chocolate fountain.

There's also one at the Lobby Lounge in Sunshine City from 3 PM for about 2000 yen per person.

Best answer: I'm going to assume you can read Japanese. Here's a list of tabehodai that you could try. From the index page, you can find tabehodai in other areas as well. Some of her reviews are several years old, though, so I think you should call the restaurant before you go to make sure they're still in business. I thought this place might be fun to go with a child.
