Had a great time mingling with the guests and the food was wonderful. Really enjoyed cooking takoyaki and they taught me how as well.
Great experience for a solo traveller! I went here not knowing what to expect and was welcomed with open arms. Extremely friendly hosts and great food. If you are looking for fellow travelers to share experiences with then this is the right place.
Hide's Table is a social dinner/event where you find delicious food prepared by talented chef Hide. The even is social and you meet new people, travellers and also local japanese. The atmosphere is really welcoming and social, the staff/team is really friendly and kind. Totally recommended.
Thank you so much for having me there! It was really nice to enjoy great home made meals and having chat with many guests from various countries. Hosts and chefs are also wonderful!
Great vibe, great food, great peole. I highly recommend if you want to spend time with new people, Hide sans cooking is really good
Amazing company, everyone is very friendly and the food was amazing. Great hosts as well! Made lots of friends and learnt some Japanese!
This was my second time to join the party. I really enjoyed all of the meal and talking with hosts and other guests! It was a lovely time. When I have a chance to visit Tokyo, I definitely join it again!!!! Thank you for all of your kindness.
If you’re visiting Tokyo, don’t miss this incredible dinner gathering! The food was absolutely delicious, and the relaxed, cozy atmosphere in a quiet Tokyo neighborhood made it even more special. I loved how people from Japan and around the world came together, making it feel like dining with friends you just met. Everyone was so friendly, and it was such a unique way to experience local Tokyo vibes while enjoying amazing dishes. Highly recommended to anyone looking to add a warm, memorable night to their Tokyo trip!
I really enjoyed talking with owners and guests. All of the owners and guests were so warm and welcoming otherwise I joined the activity for the first time. When you have a chance to go to Tokyo, you should go there!!!!!
This was a good opportunity to meet others in japan and taste some yummy homemade cooking. The people were friendly and the food was tasty. It can be a bit tight at times if there are many people since the venue is not super big.
We have been here several times, and its always been a fun experience, where you’ll always leave stuffed full of food and interesting conversation. Food really brings people together, and the folks at Canal Palace really do go out of their way to make you feel welcome. We often see many repeat guests (ourselves included)!
This happens every Wednesday night. I hope it still goes on until I return to Japan. A chef prepared sushi.
Everyone at the venue was very nice and friendly! All the food that was made was amazing! Would definitely come back if I had a chance!
The hosts were very friendly and made sure to introduce us to other guests, creating a warm and inclusive atmosphere right from the start. We enjoyed a variety of delicious homemade Japanese dishes, with options for vegetarians and pescatarians, plus drinks for everyone. It was a great mix of Japanese locals, international guests, and travellers all chatting and connecting in a relaxed setting. A perfect place for language exchange and cultural connection—I highly recommend it!
Such a great heartwarming experience. Everyone is so welcoming and it’s easy to meet people and have conversations with other travelers and locals. Hide’s cooking is great too and a taste of authentic Japanese cuisine.
This dinner was amazing! Hide-san makes fantastic food, one of the best meals I had here in Japan, and it's so cheap too. And the atmosphere is great, feels like home. Can only recommend!
This is an incredible way to immediately break the ice in Tokyo and get to know both local Japanese people and other travellers. The hosts are warm, welcoming and friendly people. It became a gateway to many more authentic Japanese experiences because of the hosts' wealth of knowledge and eagerness to share.
Very nice, helpful. Always someone to address. We have to get out early in the morning Evening it's quiet, kitchen and bathroom is clean
I enjoy talking to people from different countries Conversations are always interesting because everyone has interesting and unique hobbies and jobs. Creative dishes that focus on ingredients are inspiring. Today was the best because the Japanese mussels had a good soup stock!
The hosts were friendly and had a great time! There were also many wonderful creative dishes for rice. It was delicious. I would like to go again to the fun networking event for people from various countries and Japanese people. Thank you very much.
