Tokyo offers an abundance of American-style diners offering classic burgers and milkshakes, but it’s tough to find a place that can also dish up an authentic barbecue. This spacious restaurant on Cat Street has an extensive meat menu with all the trimmings. Popular items from the barbecue plates include the smoked chicken, espresso rubbed beef brisket and the classic pulled pork. The portions here are on the larger side and so they’re perfect for sharing, especially the combo platters with a side of mac and cheese.

Incidentally, Tyson & Company also runs the café downstairs, where you can enjoy a cup of single-origin coffee and people watch, as one does when around Harajuku. The shop also offers a selection of freshly roasted beans to take home.
