There are over 80,000 eateries in Tokyo to try, so get eatin'. If you can, try heading to one of them for lunch to check it out and to take advantage of a "lunch seto".
For dinner, please remember to call first to see if reservations are needed; many restaurants are small.
Also, please specify if you prefer non smoking/smoking section.
