FLIPPER'S Shibuya

I tried this place for breakfast. Line for 30 min. Ok place inside nothing fancy. Ordered the fluffy pancakes the waiter said it would take ip to 40 min because of all the people so I went with the ones with chicken and egg instead. A lot of food and nice taste, but should have fone for the fluffy o...nes when n Japan 😀

After seeing an opening soon for a Japanese pancake house near my home in California I was curious about them and wanted to try on my upcoming trip to Tokyo. I picked Flippers because it was walkable from my hotel in Ebisu (only a couple of km). I got there about 9:15 (15 minutes after opening) on ...Saturday and waited about 20 minutes to get in. Ordered and waited 20 minutes. The rest was clean and modestly decorated. The staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely an informal atmosphere. The peanuts and free wifi were nice while waiting. The Apple Cinnamon pancakes with a slightly sweet ice cream were delicious and melted in my mouth. Definitely lighter than the American style. Life changing? No. Yummy? Yes. PS: you can make reservations in advance, do it!

We got there a few minutes before opening and had to wait an hour before getting in. The pancakes were so light and fluffy that they seemed to melt in my mouth. They did have an egg taste but were sweet with the cream and syrup. We did not have to buy drinks and drank water. Syrup was extra. The cre...am on our pancakes was delicious.

We made reservations for flippers online which cost is just over $20 for four people. He helped avoid the 30 to 120 minute wait which I think was definitely worth it. It really depends on how far away you're staying from the restaurant if you wanna put your name down and then go shopping in the area.... For now, let's get down to the good stuff which is the food. We tried Caesar salad, which is a Caesar with smoked bacon, fresh fruit, and a couple nuts. I would say this is my favorite item out of everything we ate today it was fresh kind of unique for Cesar a little bit sweet and very tasty addressing complemented the bacon saltines perfectly. I'm moving onto the pancakes. We ordered the mixed fruit pancakes and the strawberry pancakes. I thought that the pancakes were good. They were a little bit undercooked in the middle, but overall very tasty and fluffy. The cream was exceptional and the fruit was a nice compliment to the sweetness of the pancakes. You definitely don't need to order syrup the cream is plenty. We also ordered fried eggs, which had a nice cold center and were very tasty. To drink we had the orange juice which is served over ice and an iced Matcha latte. Both of them were solid. Overall, it was a fun novelty to come here and see the shop. I wouldn't say best pancakes of my life with a solid 8 1/2 to 9 unfortunately, all of the food came out at different times which relief put a damper on the meal. We got the Caesar salad first followed a few minutes later by the eggs and then two of us received our pancakes after that and 10 minutes later the last person received their pancakes. I think they need to let everybody at the table gets their meal at the same time for Lost pancakes that came out the cream was a little bit melted meaning they were sitting there for some time prior to them bringing them to the table. Looking at the sign of the wall, flipping delicious it was delicious and I like the fact that they had Wi-Fi at the restaurant as well.

Pancakes are good but forced to buy drinks (one drink per person). We took homemade lemonade and coffee (cold version). They were terrible. We couldn’t finish them. So the pancakes cost way more, thanks to the bad drinks.
