Even though the owner of the Takaraya went back to his lst store in Tokyo (located in middle of Shinjuku) and serveing same quality of food back I think it would been out of business by now. (yes, I've been to their OTHER store a la 12/2003). Then Dadami moved into that location and went out of business within 3 month after occupying. The reason for the closer the lst time was the incomplete ownership change from Takaraya to Dadami. Next, Dadami renamed itself Shin-Dadami and reopened (its still the same owner), but this time it went out of business because of the owner having a herniated disk and required surgery but he didn't have insurance and very low revunue. Well, Mentatsu's food is alright but that location is cursed with little parking and you have to exactly know where its located otherwise first timer will miss it by a mile.

To my chagrin, I waited to long and it was Harvet Yakatori (posted in my early days). Wasnt bad, but it wasnt Honda Ya in ambiance, qaulity or value. Now I better try this newest tenant before it falls victim to that location. Funny, I went to Damadami after reading about you post it “in the early days”.

But I'm confused...wasn't that place called Takaraya at some point? I did try Takaraya, and thought it was marginal. Now I’m bummed that I didn’t try Dadami when I had the chance.
