We have eaten Kei’s food in Paris before and were so happy to have found him in Japan while my parents were visiting!
The food was so beautiful and well cared for and our server was funny and charming!
Great Kobe beef and a wonderful memory for my parents trip to Tokyo!

Having first tasted Kei Restaurant in Paris in 2013, I’ve seen chef move from no Michelin stars to 3 Michelin stars.  His restaurant in Tokyo is a gem and maintains his excellent standards with delicious courses presented impressively and with matching wines to enhance the experience. Ahh also the staff are friendly and knowledgeable.

Had a celebration with friends for my husband’s birthday with the stunning Tokyo tower night view . We had a private room at a additional charge of 30,000 yen . Food are so nicely presented and is so delicious. The wine options is good as well. Thanks for the attentive staff to help arranging a surprise party for my husband .  Wanted to pick the omakase menu originally but was told that we can only order if everyone is going to pick the same course menu .  Would give it a try next time .

You can spend unforgettable moment. The waitress with nice smile, she was the best!
She is professional, has excellent knowledge, and very kind. I do remember her name, but this is public space, so I kept in my mind.
Wonderful environment, excellent food, fine sofa. It's very expensive, but it is worthy.
