There are special TV programs in Tokyo highlighting great one coin 500yen lunches throughout the city. One of the best hands down is Nakame'kun in Nakameguro so I had to give this place a try.
Three lunch choices: Pork bowl, Chicken tomato stew bowl and Mabo bowl... all with 2 kinds of free self-serve soups. Plus 100yen for salad buffet and 100yen for a drink.
Its nearly all counter seating as the place seems more like a British pub than a restaurant. Pre-pay at the register and they hand you your bowl order...
Even at 500yen my pork bowl was rather disappointing... beef was rather tough and sauce didn't compliment it at all, too sweet. Mayo topping didn't help much.
There were 2 types of free soup: Seaweed or Cabbage soup... both quite boring. As for the salad bar the selections were limited and most items seem to come directly out of a can but for 100yen I guess you can't ask for much more than that.
I sat in one of the few counter window seats overlooking the street with sliding windows bringing in a nice breeze. Overall this place was definitely not worth even the 500yen when average lunches in the area were 750yen. Oh well... looks like a great place for drinks in the evening as the space allows for some friendly mingling but as for lunch it was...honestly... just very bad.
