About this place
Carbonara pairs a creamy bacon-and-cheese sauce with 3 types of pepper, adding a lively kick to its richness. Other pasta options include spaghetti with mentaiko, flavoured with shredded nori and shiso, and tomato-sauce pasta with thick-cut bacon and eggplant. At lunch, the pasta selection includes the daily recommendation, as well as bacon and tomato, carbonara and mentaiko. Bread, an appetiser salad and a set drink such as coffee or tea are also available, making it easy to keep lunch centred on pasta.
For a classic Western-style meal, choose hamburger steak or hamburger steak with fried shrimp. The lunch combination pairs hamburger steak in demi-glace sauce with fried shrimp. One diner who ordered it particularly enjoyed the fried shrimp and tartar sauce. For a more casual lunch, there is karaage served with sweet vinegar and tartar sauce. It comes with rice, a small side dish and soup. Pilaf is another option: choose beef with salted kelp for a savoury accent, or shrimp with lettuce. Both come with soup.
One diner reported being able to order lunch until around 4 in the afternoon. In addition to its lunch menu, Gagaku, on the basement 1 floor of Shinjuku Gochiso Building, offers small dishes and alcoholic drinks. It is an option for a meal-focused visit or an evening with drinks.
