Tired of natto for breakfast and soba for lunch? Try one of the more established
American diners. How about the Rock'n Roll Diner in Shimokitazawa?
Mountains of rough-cut french fries and huge hamburgers are served here
with a smile. But the food is not the only thing. The 60s music and the
waitresses wearing 60s-style aprons, the decorations and everything else
take you on a time warp back to a time worth revisiting.
A giant 270-seat dining hall and a DJ who does requests. What else could
you ask for - for your birthday, party or wedding reception? And speaking
of birthdays, if you notify the staff a day in advance, you will get a special
birthday cake, and all the waitresses will sing Happy Birthday and make
all the other customers join in.
Got the munchies? Try the Super Nachos (Yen 1,380) served with various
dips and sour cream, or Jagita (grilled veggies rolled in tortillas, from
Yen 1,580). And then there's the one and only Rock'n Roll Burger (Yen 1,480),
made to order just the way they used to in the days of the American old
school of burger making.
The Rock'n Roll Diner is more than just an restaurant. It's like a theme
park for all ages, from toddlers to silver-aged rockers. Whetted your appetite
yet? Just take the Odakyu Line out of Shinjuku. It's much faster, shorter
and cheaper than a trip to Disneyland.
