Salon Ginza Sabou

We ate lunch here while taking a break from shopping and so happy we did. It’s a small restaurant but we only waited about 15 minutes before getting a table. We both ordered the salmon set and were able to select three side dishes from a choice of 8. Everything was beautifully prepared and tasted delicious. We appreciate the English menu and the staff were very nice and provided excellent service. Also it’s a great value for all the food, as the meal comes with soup and rice. The real highlight was dessert. We shared the matcha tiramisu and it was outstanding. We ordered the small size but next time we’ll get the large. Thank you for a lovely dining experience!

Delicious lunch place. You can choose the type of rice you want with your meal set: white rice or brown rice (+220 Yen). Also the side dishes can be chosen (in our case there were 12 options). We enjoyed a great meal. The prices are on the higher side for Teishoku. We would recommend this place :)

Hello. Review from abroad. Very good place for meal, diner or just desert like parfait. I come there each time i go to Tokyo. Beware , you must check kitchen close time. If i remember correctly, 1 hour and half hour before night closure you cannot order anymore.

Being at the queue at 11am when they open ensured we were seated in less than 10 minutes of wait. Most ladies seem to prefer the fried chicken we observed. We can understand why it is the more popular item on the menu!

To find this cafe, it’s located inside a building called Tokyu Place which is connected to the subway exit. Make sure to look for the sign Salon as it’s actually a store on the front, and the cafe is hidden inside the store. Coming on a weekday before evening rush hour, there were seats available, however as time got closer to 5pm, spots filled up quickly. A lot of people come here as well as their desserts are very instagramable if you’re looking for that ;) Their menu offers a small selection of matcha flavored desserts, as well as a few cakes and drinks such as lattes and tea. They have their famous matcha dessert which comes in a box and there are a few options for it. One with a set (drink), and one without. There’s also a sweeter and a bitter version, but honestly the bitter one wasn’t bitter at all (and I think it has more matcha anyways). Also, every person must order something (drinks are okay too). After placing an order, we didn’t have to wait too long for our items to come. The famous matcha boxed dessert is essentially matcha chocolate with matcha on top, inside a matcha tiramisu like filling with jelly inside. You’re supposed to break the top layer so the matcha powder mixes inside. Just a fair warning, their prices are not cheap, which is expected as it’s located in Ginza. The drinks and dessert were pretty good, and I loved how much matcha we got for the dessert. However, this is a place I’d probably only visit once in a while and not every time when I come back to Japan. IG: Ayenomz

This place serves good lunch set, desserts and coffee too at busy Ginza area at a reasonable price. The rice is especially fragrant. May not have English menu, and staff understand basic English, otherwise just point to the photograph the set you wish to order. Got to go early to avoid lunch crowd.
