Tabelog
Find and book a table at restaurants across Japan using genuine reviews from local diners, instead of guessing which places are actually good. About Tabelog: Tabelog is Japan's largest restaurant search and reservation service, operated by Kakaku.com, Inc. and used by roughly 100 million people a month for everyday dining decisions across the country. Its database covers approximately 900,000 establishments with more than 85 million reviews and 220 million photos, almost entirely from Japanese locals rather than tourists — which is why, in December 2025, Tabelog launched a dedicated multilingual app so international visitors could tap into the same trusted local ratings, reaching 2 million downloads within about six months. Key Features: Genuine Local Reviews: Browse ratings and reviews written by everyday Japanese diners, not tourist-oriented listings, to find restaurants actually loved by locals. Instant Online Booking: Reserve a table at more than 70,000 restaurants nationwide, sometimes just minutes before arrival, without needing to call in Japanese. Multilingual App: Search, read reviews and book in English, Traditional Chinese or Korean through Tabelog's dedicated app for international visitors. Detailed Filtering: Narrow results by average price, private-room availability, cuisine type and more, including many listings with multilingual menus or cashless payment options. How to Get Started: Download the Tabelog app or visit tabelog.com/en. Search for restaurants near your location or a specific area, or browse by cuisine. Check ratings, reviews and photos, then filter by price or other preferences. Book a table online where instant reservations are available, or save a restaurant to a list for later. Important Notice: Not every restaurant on Tabelog supports instant online booking or a multilingual menu — for listings without these, calling ahead in Japanese, or asking a hotel concierge for help, may still be necessary.
