Maekawa

3.5

A venerable eel restaurant founded in the Edo period boasting some 200 years of history. The shop’s Kabayaki (broiled eel with sauce), soaked in a secret sauce passed down for generations, is tender down to the bones. Meanwhile, the shop’s shirayaki (unseasoned broiled eel) allows the true flavor of the meat to shine through. Overlooking the Sumida River and Tokyo Skytree, during the day diners can enjoy the downtown hustle and bustle and in the evening a lovely nightscape.

Poor attitude and service. Throws chopsticks onto the table as we sat down, even spilled green tea onto our bags as it was being served.

This place is awful from the food to the service. While the view of the river is ok it does not make up for rude waitresses who are unskilled in the art of serving and the poor quality of the...
