Gonpachi
If the screen shots of Uma Thurman in a yellow jumpsuit didn't clue you in, Gonpachi is the place that inspired the Lucy Liu sequence in Kill Bill (think Charlie Brown and the Crazy 88). Though the menu isn't authentically Japanese (camembert tempura – yum!), the decor is undeniably Edo. Reserve early for a booth on the 2nd floor overlooking the crowd below. There's a sushi room on the 3rd level, which is separate from the rest of the restaurant.

Daidaiya, Minato
Although Asian fusion is all the rage outside Japan, it's still catching on in Tokyo. Of course, it's hard not to fall in love with this culinary mish-mash, especially once you've realised the benefits of eating rich Thai curries alongside innovative sushi rolls and savoury Chinese dumplings. Although the food at Daidaiya is always creative and daring, it pales in comparison to the restaurant's eye-arresting ultramodern interior.

Ninja Akasaka
Super-stealth staff, trained in the deadly art of catering, escort you through a maze of trap doors and trick drawbridges before seating you at your private table. Savour tasty Japanese fare, like 'cloaked chicken' or 'crouching salmon', and at the end of the meal, a saucy senior ninja swings by to perform some impressive close magic. But perhaps the biggest trick of all is the food's swift disappearing act – portions are extremely small, so if you're sharing, make sure to order more plates than there are people (if you're dining à la carte). Reservations are a must.

Fujimamas
Fujimamas is hugely popular for its Asian fusion cuisine - like pan-seared salmon with wasabi cream on a curried corn pancake - and its quality Californian wines. Upstairs are airy rooms in what was once a tatamimaker's workshop. Fujimamas also offers a great children's menu. The restaurant is in the first alley south of the Omote-sandō and Meiji-jingū intersection. Reservations are recommended.

Daidaya
Unabashedly cool with modern Balinese-style design accents from floor to ceiling, this ultrasophisticated Asian fusion restaurant offers a nouvelle take on this already inventive cuisine. Dishes like Kyshu-style sausages with homemade wasabi-mayonnaise are individually crafted works of art, and are presented in slow but steady stages to allow for the maximum amount of appreciation.
