Roppongi

Frommer's Review

At Roppongi, the cuisines of Japan, Thailand, China, Vietnam, Korea, and India collide, sometimes gracefully, in a vibrant explosion of flavors. You might not get past the first menu page, a long list of small tapas dishes designed for sharing -- each table is even preset with a tall stack of plates that quietly encourage a communal meal of successive appetizers. It takes an adventuresome palate to hip-hop from Thai satay to Chinese pot stickers to a Mongolian duck quesadilla and then back to Indonesian spicy shrimp without missing a beat, but when you order right, it works. (Note that a number of the dishes are sweet, so ask your waiter for a good balance.) Options increase exponentially when you start considering the sushi bar menu. There are also traditionally sized main courses featuring seafood, meat, and game, all colorfully prepared; and at lunch there's a selection of bento boxes.
