88 Asia Futakotamagawa

Approximately 5 minutes walk from Futako-Tamagawa Station.
Just a short distance from the station's hustle and bustle, in a quiet alley, you'll find '88 Asia,' a hidden gem of an Asian diner.
To get to the restaurant, first proceed with Tamagawa Takashimaya on your left.
When you see 'Tsubame Grill,' turn left there.
Then, cross the traffic light straight ahead, and you'll see the restaurant on your left.

Opening the restaurant's door, you'll feel as if you've stepped into a street stall in Vietnam or Thailand.
The spacious interior is filled with natural light from the windows during the day and illuminated by neon lights at night, creating an exotic atmosphere.
The red seats near the entrance are a delightful feature, allowing you to enjoy your meal with your dog.
The modern open kitchen visible from the seats adds urban sophistication to the lively street stall atmosphere.

The dishes are produced by Chef Shusaku Toba of the Michelin-listed restaurant 'Sio'.
You can enjoy a variety of Asian flavors from countries like Thailand, China, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Korea, all at reasonable prices.
We lavishly use authentic seasonings and spices to faithfully reproduce traditional local flavors, while also offering a wide range of creative dishes arranged with a modern sensibility.
You can savor the unique charm of Asian cuisine, where the vibrancy of a street stall merges with the sophistication of a restaurant.

Our signature dish, 'ASIAN Toba Rice,' is based on jasmine rice, with fragrant stir-fried meat, onions, and eggplant, emitting a refreshing lemongrass aroma that whets the appetite.
Furthermore, it's garnished with colorful red onion and purple cabbage achar (pickles), harissa, a Mediterranean seasoning that adds a spicy kick, fresh cilantro, and a perfectly runny fried egg in the center.
The way to eat it is simple.
Once served, the key is to thoroughly mix all the ingredients.
With one bite, you'll be moved by the ethnic aroma that fills your mouth, as the umami and textures of various ingredients come together.
Within the deep flavors woven by authentic seasonings and spices, the refreshing coolness of lemongrass, the kick of harissa, and the subtle sourness of the pickles create an exquisite harmony.

Our highly popular 'Fluffy and Creamy Shrimp and Squid Batpong Curry' lavishly uses plump shrimp and tender squid.
The curry, infused with the rich umami of seafood, will surprise you with its depth of flavor from the first bite.
Its greatest charm is, without a doubt, its 'fluffy and creamy' texture.
Eggs are blended in just the right amount, creating a mellow and creamy mouthfeel that envelops the entire curry sauce.
The curry's flavor and the egg's gentle sweetness intertwine exquisitely, making it delicious even for those who don't like spicy food.
This dish, a harmony of seafood umami and fluffy, creamy egg, is truly the essence of Asian food.
It pairs perfectly with rice, and you'll surely find yourself unable to stop eating.

When you visit, we highly recommend trying our 'Pho'.
While most pho noodles distributed in Japan are imported dried noodles, 88 Asia pursued authentic flavor and developed its own premium 'domestic fresh rice noodles'.
The unique chewy texture and rich, inherent flavor of rice are truly possible only with fresh noodles.
These special homemade noodles significantly enhance the deliciousness of our pho.
Our especially recommended dish is 'Beef Pho'.
The golden broth, made by simmering pork and beef bones for over 4 hours to condense their umami, has a gentle flavor that warms your heart the moment it touches your lips.
With the addition of melt-in-your-mouth tender beef, the warmth of Asia spreads throughout your body with every bite.
Furthermore, our 'Tom Yum Pho,' overflowing with the rich umami of shrimp, is also very popular.
Its refreshing sourness and spiciness stimulate the appetite, making it another dish with many repeat customers.

Our appetizer menu is also extensive, offering a wide range from cold dishes to hot dishes and full meals.
Our especially recommended dish is the 'Assortment of 3 Spring Rolls,' allowing you to enjoy fresh, fried, and steamed spring rolls on one plate.
The steamed spring rolls are handmade from scratch, a superb dish with an addictive chewy texture.
Additionally, our 'Mapo Tofu,' with its unparalleled spice blend, is rumored to be even more delicious than the authentic version. Furthermore, 'Mao's Shrimp' is a masterpiece with an original spice blend and a moderate spiciness that keeps people coming back for more.

For meat dishes, we recommend 'Gai Yang'.
It's a friendly Thai-style grilled chicken, reminiscent of Japanese yakitori.
Characterized by its exquisite sweet and savory seasoning, the chicken marinated in a special sauce made with nam pla and garlic is packed with umami and emits an appetizing aroma.
It's adjusted to suit Japanese tastes, so even those who are not fond of ethnic cuisine can enjoy it with peace of mind.
Marinated in sauce and carefully grilled, the Gai Yang loses excess fat, resulting in crispy skin and surprisingly juicy meat.
Healthy yet full of chicken umami and savory aroma that fills your mouth.

While there isn't a dedicated dog menu, if requested, plain boiled chicken tenderloin can be ordered for your dog.
Please contact us in advance, as we may not be able to accommodate on short notice depending on the situation.
