Gluten Free T's Kitchen HARAJUKU

T's Kitchen opened in Harajuku in April. As expected, everyone there, both staff and customers, was a foreigner when I visited. The small restaurant filled up very quickly. I've been to the Roppongi location and the one that was in the APA Hotel before it was in Ueno Hirokoji. While each location has some of the same menu items, there are slight differences. The Harajuku location has a relatively large number of small plates, and the drinks menu is limited to alcohol or non-alcoholic beverages, without soft drinks like tea or coffee, giving it more of an izakaya (Japanese pub) feel. The menu on the table has symbols indicating vegan, nut-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and soy-free options. Orders are placed via QR code, but the order screen doesn't display these symbols. The menu has numbers assigned to the dish names, and the same numbers and dish names are displayed on the order screen, making it easy to select your order after deciding on the menu, and reducing the chance of making a mistake. * Pork bun: The bun that arrived was different in shape from what I had imagined. It was so hot I couldn't hold it right away. The white outer layer had the texture of a firm steamed bun, and the meat filling inside had a flavor somewhat reminiscent of shumai. It was delicious. * Fried Rice Flour Vegetable Dumplings As expected, the crispy texture unique to rice flour wrappers was a favorite. I had to reluctantly pass up the "Cheese and Potato Jeon" because I was short on time, but I'd like to return to try it as I expect it to be crispy as well.
