I have not been able to stick to my goal however and have frequented about four or five places more than once. <\/p>\n<p>One place that I&#8217;ve been to, three times now, is Kao Tai near Takadanobaba Station. The selection (and quality) have been different each time ranging from good to great. It&#8217;s the only place I&#8217;ve been to that always has foreigners inside. Sometimes as many as half the customers will be non-Japanese.<\/p>\n<p>The food is better than the above photo may indicate. On any given day there are seven or eight different dishes to choose from.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/01135158.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/01135158.jpg\" alt=\"\u30ab\u30aa\u30bf\u30a4 thai tai food cheap tokyo\" title=\"shinjuku takadanobaba lunch viking course\" width=\"613\" height=\"800\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/01135158.jpg 613w, https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/01135158-191x250.jpg 191w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 613px) 100vw, 613px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The price can&#8217;t be beat. Only 780 yen for an all-you-can eat lunch. The address is \u9ad8\u7530\u99ac\u5834 2-14-6, which is east of the station, just off of <a href=http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/2009\/08\/%E6%97%A9%E7%A8%B2%E7%94%B0%E9%80%9A%E3%82%8A-waseda-street\/>Waseda Dori<\/a> on the north side. Look for a Thai Viking Lunch sign (not the one above which is right in front of the restaurant&#8211;not on Waseda Street) pointing you down the correct alley. I don&#8217;t remember if the sign is in English or katakana&#8211;probably a bit of both.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Upon arriving in Japan nearly nine months ago and seeing the countless, cheap restaurants in the neighborhood I vowed to never visit one twice (in order to experience a larger percentage of them).
