We went to Omoide Yokocho and wanted to take a Seat and have some food in one of the Stand. Instead a welcome the guy inside showed on one picture on the wall with the snake or dragon and says do you understand? It was one of the food court with no English menu but we thought that we may somehow understand for order however it looked like we were not welcome. Does someone knows what that snake/ dragon means?

Any Yakitori shops happen to open during lunch? Understand most of them are open only in the evening...

What time do the restaurants close? We will be arriving late on our first night and really want to visit this place.

Are credit cards accepted there?

Hi, what time is the yokocho open? Is it open at lunchtime?

Are there any vegetarian options at all here? Is it easy to browse around/shop without knowing Japanese?

Is this an appropriate choice for meals with a child? Or is it more about drinking and bars? Was wondering if an ‘early’ dinner was a possibility here, or even lunch, but will be here with a 6yo? Thanks

Hello MariieTips, We will be visiting Tokyo very soon, can you tell us more how to find this wonderful small yakatori restaurant that you wrote about, and do you have a name for the restaurant ? your reply is very appreciative.

So, do the owners or cooks of these so called yakitori restaurant "booths" welcome you in and asks you to take a seat or you just casually walk up and sit yourself down? I'd like to know prior to visiting this place before I embarrass myself.

Will most of the stalls still be open during Golden Week 2015?
