RicoShinjuku Main store

Chanced on this place when looking for an alternative to Japanese dinner options in the neighbourhood. The tapas were tasty and the seafood paella was very good. Wine selection was good. Prices are moderate for Tokyo and the amount of food provided was sufficient for the price.

Nice and party like atmosphere. Great for evenings nice selection of Tapas , wines and beers. Good quality and tasty too. Great service from the staff. Chefs are friendly and make sure food is served nice and fast.

Overpriced but mostly misleading and subpar food. Avoid at all cost, unless you like paying way too much for far too little fake Spanish fare. They used risotto rice to make paella, forgot the saffron, and burnt it to a crisp.

We came here as it was close to our hotel and, as it was raining, we didn't want to go far. It started off well as we chose a couple of tapas dishes to share and they were very good. We then had a half portion of beef to share which was OK. We also had a carafe (500ml) of red wine. We then asked for... a plate of Spanish cheese. This cost the equivalent of almost £10 and was barely enough for two mouthfuls. The total bill was 10,000 yen, which doesn't sound too much but for what we had we felt it was a bit of a rip off. Staff started off OK but, as the place got busy, they struggled to cope. Dirty dishes were left on our table for ages. Eventually we asked for them to be cleared and about half were taken away. The rest stayed there until we left.

What we saw in the photos of the dishes we ordered bore little resemblance to what we were served with. When we complained, no one understood English. It spoilt what should have been a great night.
