Tabelog ratingADI offers a singular dining experience in Kamimeguro, built around a single large table where guests watch the chef prepare a modern fusion of Nepalese and Japanese cuisine. The concept is intimate and interactive, with the open kitchen as the stage. The restaurant's focus is on exceptionally fresh fish, sourced from renowned suppliers, and a masterful balance of spices.
The signature dish, praised in nearly every review, is the maguro curry—a rich, spiced curry featuring high-quality tuna. At lunch, the curry plates are a huge draw, with reviewers consistently praising the single (around ¥2,000) and double (around ¥2,500) sets that come with dal, achar, and rice. The dinner omakase menu showcases the chef's creativity with seasonal Japanese ingredients and inventive fish preparations. House-made drinks and desserts, like the chai tonic and chai ice cream, are also popular highlights.
While overwhelmingly positive, a few diners have found some dishes or special event menus to be less balanced. Some also note that dinner portions can feel modest for the price, which recent reviewers state is between ¥10,000 and ¥17,000 for the course. The communal seating, while a core part of the experience, means a lack of privacy.
Lunch is considered excellent value for the quality. Dinner is more of a special-occasion expense, but many feel the unique, fish-focused cooking justifies the cost. As lunch service can be intermittent, it's wise to check the restaurant's latest announcements before visiting.
