I went to the DEEP Vietnamese restaurant “Chopsticks” in Koenji

Tokyo Koenji is also a sacred place for drinkers, and there is a particularly DEEP place in Koenji.

This time, I would like to introduce a Vietnamese restaurant with such a DEEP feeling.

A DEEP shopping street in Koenji, Tokyo

The town of Koenji is located in Suginami Ward, Tokyo.

Regionally, it is said to be a Yamate area, but here in Koenji, it is a wonderful town with a downtown atmosphere.

Here in Koenji

A thrift store mecca
DEEP BAR

In particular, the latter is famous for its DEEP drinking district, with unique shops lined up under JR’s guard, and places that use buildings that were originally used as markets as restaurants.

This time, I would like to introduce a Vietnamese restaurant located in a place called “Daiichi Market", which has restarted as a restaurant in a building that was originally used as a market.

Reference: Taichi Market

A renovated former market located about a 1-minute walk from JR Koenji Station. Originally, it was a market, and “fishmongers, greengrocers, etc." were lined up in this Daiichi market.

Time has passed, and now this market is no longer there, and instead there are restaurants selling Vietnamese food, ethnic curry shops, Korean food, and other international cuisines.

address	3-22-8 Khoenji North, Suginami-ku
access	1 minute walk from the north exit of JR Koenji Station (Chuo Line rapid passage on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays)

Step into the DEEP Taichi Market

Frankly, there is a high possibility that you will be hesitant to open the door of the market at first.

It’s called a market, but to be honest, it took a lot of courage to open the door and start walking (I did)

What do you say? It feels as if the “public market" in Naha has been made even deeper, and although there is no sense of away, there is a unique sense of alienation.

In one of the corners is the Vietnamese restaurant “Chop Sticks “that I visited this time.

Chopstick

Starting with the well-known “pho" in Vietnamese cuisine, it seems that it reproduces Vietnamese street food stalls such as fresh spring rolls and Vietnamese-style fried dumplings.

All of the dishes have a good taste with coriander in them. One of the most delicious dishes was the satay stir-fried beef and bamboo shoots!

The tangy spicy beef and coriander are a perfect match, and I eat it again and the food progresses.

In addition, “Vietnamese beer" is also suitable for such a meal.

I forgot to take a picture, but the pho here was also a raw noodle type made with domestic rice, and it had a gentle taste.

Conclusion

This time, I introduced the Koenji Vietnamese restaurant “Chopsticks", but there are still many DEEP restaurants in Koenji.

If you want to experience something extraordinary, please stop by at such a time.
