Oyster Shack Shimbashi

The staff were very good. The oysters were very delicious. I have never eaten oysters that were this fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was very relaxed.

Tried the grill oyster all you can eat lunch course at JPY4048 per person. Add JPY660 per person can also bring own drinks in and I see most local parties do this. Time limit for all you can eat is 100 mins and last order at 70 mins. Within that time window we had 4 rounds of 15 and 1 last round of 6 because we were so full already. Oyster tasted good. Overall good value for the price.

Great if you are an oyster lover! All you can eat grilled oysters at the price of around ¥4500. Had raw oysters as well at a great price. Didn’t sit at the toilet all day the next day so the quality of food is promising!

Fresh oysters were amazing. Recommended. We racked up JPY 26,400 for 4 pax x 12 oysters each plus drinks and a side.

This place is a scam 🙂 I don’t even want to give one star. All the good review probably are bought one. Everyone, take a look at the picture: 9 oysters, 3 scallops, 3 shrimp, a few slices of pork and lamb, plus some vegetables. Does this look like it’s worth 16,500 yen? 😅 (5,500 yen per person). I booked this restaurant because I saw many good reviews online saying it was buffet style. But when we arrived, it was nothing like the reviews that mentioned “friendly staff” or “Chinese-speaking staff.” All the staff here had a terrible attitude. At first, they even tried to refuse us entry, saying that without booking two days in advance we couldn’t come in. I showed one staff member my same-day reservation, but she still had to check with all the other staff before letting us in. That was fine, but… We made it clear from the beginning that we wanted the buffet. The staff gave us a menu without any explanation and just walked away. We had to call them over several times and talk to different people before we could even place an order. After finishing the food, we asked for more, but they said it would cost extra. We asked, “Isn’t this a buffet?” Then a man (one staff member said he was the manager) spoke very rudely to us, saying it wasn’t a buffet but a set meal. But from the very start, even before we entered, we had repeatedly confirmed we were there for the oyster buffet! Later, one staff member who understood English a little better came to serve us. We explained the situation to her, but in the middle of our conversation, the so-called manager forcibly pulled her away, refusing to let her talk with us. Honestly, I felt like they were taking advantage of us foreigners not understanding Japanese. And this portion of food for this price? No way. Even at five-star restaurants I get more than this and this was just a small restaurant under the railway tracks. Not a single staff member apologized or explained anything throughout the whole experience. This kind of dishonest place should really be avoided. I’ll be posting the same review and videos on Xiaohongshu, Twitter, and Instagram. This was the first time I’ve ever been treated like this, and I just can’t accept it.🙂
