Tofu Ukai

October 12, 2025

Beautiful restaurant specializing in tofu that is right by Tokyo Tower. I had accidentally booked at a different location without realizing it until we had arrived at this location, but the staff were extremely kind and helped me cancel the original reservation and were able to seat us for dinner that night as well. We had the Hana set, and they gave us a private room with a beautiful view of the garden. The tofu dishes were delicious, but we've had better fish elsewhere. Prices were high, but it was worth it for the quality of tofu and service.

Love this place. All the meal served was delicious. Can't find anything to fault. If any I guess I wish I had more portion. Environment was serene. View of the garden felt like a breath of fresh air meanwhile located in the centre of Tokyo. The staff despite limited english was hospitable and attentive. Sad to hear the news that it's due to close. Wish to bring my family again for the last time if possible before it closes down. If able, go and visit. Definitely worth the visit.

This restaurant is in a beautiful location and delivers food to match. The gardens within the courtyards of the restaurant are spectacular and create a unique relaxing dining experience. The private rooms, each with a view of the gardens, further enhance the peaceful and relaxing feeling. The food is meticulously prepared with some truly standout dishes such as the deep fried tofu and the tofu in soup. The grilled sable fish also tasted amazing. The restaurant provides a window into some aspects of Japanese cuisine that are perhaps overlooked in the globally popular staples.

Beautiful garden with catfish. Private rooms with an awesome view. Customer service is unparalleled and the courses were delivered with perfect timing. The food is on the lighter tasting side, so if you like that, then this is the place to go. Personally not for me though. Favourite dish was the deep fried tofu.

Exquisite! The gardens—both the main and the back—are stunning on their own, but with the Tokyo Tower in the background, the view is absolutely breathtaking. The service was impeccable; everyone was formal, attentive, and truly made us feel well taken care of. As for the food, each dish was wonderful. The first course, Sakihassun, was good, but it was the deep-fried tofu with miso that truly impressed. The sashimi was fresh and flavorful, and even my husband, who isn’t usually fond of sashimi, finished it with delight. The Tosui tofu was a delightful surprise—I didn’t know what to expect, but it was amazing. The Wagyu roasted beef was tender, though I couldn’t help but compare it to the bold flavors of a New York steak, like the ones at Gallagher’s. The steamed rice was great, though I did notice a slight hint of wood aroma in it. The poached apple was a lovely dessert to round off the meal. If it were just about the food, I’d give it 4 stars, but the exceptional view, beautiful gardens, and outstanding service really elevated the experience. Overall, it was an unforgettable dining experience.
