I’ve been to Kaiser Chick TWICE, and I’ll certainly be back again.
That said, I will not be visiting again when the K-Pop girl group TWICE is playing at the nearby Ajinomoto Stadium.
Kaiser Chick is equal parts German beer hall, British pub food restaurant and French patisserie, and a really good place to enjoy all three. But it was its location directly between Tobitakyu station and Ajinomoto Stadium that brought out the crowds the second time we choose to visit.
After waiting an hour in line, a polite and friendly staff whisked us past the patisserie counter and the small bar and sat us down at one of the two room-long tables that provide a communal beer hall eating and drinking experience.
We were presented with the beer list and the lunch menu (which was great, because all that time in line meant we technically missed the 3 pm last order).
The beer list represents 8 taps, the majority of which pour beer from Japanese breweries. The lunch menu is a mix of UK grub (Scotch egg plate), beerhall favorites (sausages and the like), and Japanese favorites like curry and rice.
The atmosphere, food, beer and cakes we had were all nice.
I highly recommend a trip here, just be sure to check the stadium schedule before you go.
Here’s what you need to know:
- 8 taps, the majority are Japanese breweries. Beer is served in two sizes: The small is 265 ml (¥650 ~ ¥750) and the large is 480ml (¥1,100 ~ ¥1,280).
- Lunch Menu is available from the opening time of 11:30 to 15:00. Dinner Menu is available from 15:00 until the last order at 21:00.
- Two room-long tables seat 10 or so people at each; a small bar has seating for 5 or so. Overall, there’s space for around 25.
- The patisserie counter offers cakes, tarts, and other sweets.
- A 1-minute walk from Tobitakyu station on the Keio line.
