Note: Daikanyama is only a few minutes walk from Ebisu so perhaps mix up your Daikanyama & Ebisu options? Pick, switch and mix. I considered hitting both areas with one big post but there are so many cute spots and places to go that it’s better to split them up so you can select what works for you and your day ahead. Here is my post on Daikanyama with Kids.
PLEASE NOTE: This article contains some affiliate links. If you make a reservation through one of these links, I will receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.
Right next to JR Ebisu Station inside the Atre Department Store (West Building) is the cutest little coffee shop Sarutahiko Coffee.
If you decide to dine-in there is a cute little cafe seating area. If you’re with the kiddies they do have one lone highchair. Just one. Hehehe. But it is a pretty funky highchair.
In case you have a hard time finding this place, it is next to the florist and behind Shake Shack.
*Side note: Shake Shack is a fab idea for those who are gluten free as you can order a burger in a lettuce wrap. You can also ask for a triple patty with sauce, no bun, bacon, avocado and cheese. Just a warning incase you are very gluten sensitive – fries might not be a good idea as they reuse the oil between products.
If you’re hungry they have some simple breakfast-type options like muffins, eggs on toast, french toast and some sweet breads.
If you like this brand of coffee, they have other stores in Omotesando, Shinjuku, Azabu, Kojimacho and Sengawa.

For Bagels to take away or eat in (and enjoy with a salad plate) I recommend Bagel & Bagel X Kiri. It is 4 minutes walk from Ebisu Station. Cash only.

Did you know that there is a vegan convenience store in Ebisu? It is only open until 7pm but they have incredible vegan bentos.
The store is called Weller. Please note it is closed on Sundays.
It’s not a tourist destination, however, Ebisu Park is a great place to stretch out and have a bit of a run & play. There is a climbing frame, swings, a rocket ship slide, a smaller slide and a train to climb on and in. There is public toilet and lots of open space to run.
The rocket slide was updated (March 2020)

Playground
If you’re in the Ebisu Garden Place side of the area, there is another park with a climbing/slidey piece of equipment (just across the road, next to the fire station. )
The equipment requires climbing so it’s a bit of a tricky one for my overly adventurous 2. 5 year old …but I give him a leg up (and some strict “no flying attempts” guidelines ) and we’re all good. My 4 year old thought it was particularly fun.
It’s just a small park but there is quite a bit of flat run-around space for wriggly little legs.
There is a public toilet block but no change table.

Souvenir shopping
I love buying the most beautiful souvenirs at East Table Ebisu. It is open daily 8am-11pm. See examples of their beautiful tables, plates and mugs at East Table Ebisu here.
Kid-friendly Farm-to-Table Restaurant
My number one veggie-haven at the moment is We are the Farm in Ebisu.
Lunch is especially good value but the dinner is also amazing.
The lunch course at this Farm-to-Table restaurant includes soup & a kale side salad and you can choose your own main : a vegetable gratin, a “choose your own ingredients salad” or a grilled vegetable platter (see pictures below) for 1500 yen.
This place is popular so you’ll need to make a reservation (or just call to make sure that they have seats available.)
This restaurant does not have high chairs.
I also love the We are the Farm’s lunch salad buffet (although they might not like me visiting as I just keep eating and eating.)
If you get the chance, they sell the amazing cheese and tomato dish at all times of the day.
My husband and I go here for date nights often and, I know it sounds weird to say but, this simple marinated onion served with rock salt was to die for!
We both love their ‘Chunky Veg’ gratin and the plate of all the amazing Japanese varieties of mushrooms was one of my favourites.

It is 1 min walk from Daikanyama Station or 8 mins walk from Ebisu Station. They welcome children. Budget 1500 yen per adult to dine here for lunch. They accept most major credit cards. The restaurant seats 30 people.

Soup, Curry and Casserole Chain
Soup Stock is a casual soup chain store. The Soup Stock in Atre, Ebisu is a good option here. There are 4 gluten free options of soups here too ( look for a yellow GF symbol on the menu.) This is a great option if everyone in the family is craving vegetables. They have a kids bread, soup and drink meal for 750 yen and a free soup bowl of baby food for babies. They accept most major credit cards. There are 20 seats here for dine-in so you may want to also look at take-out options too.
See pictures of the Soup Stock menu here.Open 8am-10pm.

High end Omakase Sushi in Ebisu
Sushi Kuriyagawa in Ebisu welcome families with children and babies in a private family room. The sushi and the service here is outstanding. For lunch I would budget for approximately 10,000 yen per person for lunch and more like 40,000 yen per person for dinner. They have an English menu. Please note that this restaurant cannot make any alterations for allergies or dietary requirements. They accept most major credit cards. The restaurant is small so a reservation in advance is a must. You can make a reservation for Sushi Kuriyagawa in English here. This restaurant is 8 mins walk from the East Exit of Ebisu Station.
Book using this ByFood link now if you have allergies or want to choose your exact course ahead of time. You can tell them exactly what you can and can’t eat and order your exact course online. This is also a great option if you’re worried about any language problems while in the restaurant – it can all be done in English ahead of time.
Please note : OMAKASE IS NOT FOR FUSSY / PICKY EATERS.
OMAKASE SUSHI IS FINE DINING AND THE CHEF CHOOSES THE MENU. THAT MEANS YOU WILL LIKELY GET SUSHI ITEMS LIKE FISH EGGS, SQUID, FISH SPERM, SEA URCHIN ETC. YOU CANNOT CHOOSE WHAT YOU DO AND DON’T LIKE. THAT IS OMAKASE. IT MEANS THE CHEF CHOOSES.
You don’t have to eat everything on your plate*. You don’t even have to try everything. You are the customer. But you don’t get to choose the menu.
*Japanese people do dislike food wastage (don’t we all?!) and so I recommend at least trying each dish OR if you are not the type to want to try lots of new and wonderful delicacies – then I don’t think omakase style is the best choice for you. Go for a restaurant where you order the dishes you want to eat (a la carte or tanpin as it’s called in Japan.)
Here are a whole lot of my personal tips on dining etiquette in Japan.

Gluten free option in Ebisu!
It’s random but a good old reliable option for those who are strictly gluten free. Dominos Pizza does not have gluten free pizzas BUT they do have a wheat free pizza rice bowl. There is a Dominos Pizza in Ebisu – 9 mins walk from Ebisu Station. See the rice bowl on the Dominos Japan menu here. . Other gluten free options from Dominos Japan include the Dominos Shake Real Strawberry and the Freshly Baked Fondant Chocolat. You can always order these on ubereats too.
Vegan Japanese Fruit Sandwiches
If you’re looking to try Japan’s Fruit & Vegetable sandwiches but are vegan – I recommend trying out the brand new Vegan Store called Fruits and Season. They open at 11am but sell their beautiful sandwiches until they run out so don’t go too late in the day.

Chopped Salad
It’s not always easy to get a big portion of raw Greens in this Japan so this is a yummy pit-stop of mine.
All sections of their menus contain English as well as Japanese. It’s a good place to get an American style chopped salad.
They also do take-aways…

Gyudon
My Japanese friends are going to laugh at me for recommending this next place (it’s literally next door to Green Brothers) but I think it’s a cool option for something a bit different.
Yoshinoya is a gyudon (marinated or fried meat, or fish, served on rice) chain eatery BUT the Ebisu store is a new concept store unlike the other Japan-wide restaurants. It’s a “premium” version of Yoshinoya, designed to appeal more to female customers.
If you want to really eat like the local businessmen on their lunch break or a Japanese version of a casual, quick, sandwich shop lunch – I think this is a tasty treat (and I love the people watching here too.)
The prices are so reasonable.
It’s approximately 500 yen for a rice and meat bowl that also comes with a small side salad and miso soup.
See here for the complete Yoshinoya English Menu . There is also an in-store English menu in this Ebisu branch of Yoshinoya.
If you enjoy this meal, you’re in luck, this chain has stores dotted all over Japan (although this is the only “premium” store with greenery and more of a family-friendly feel.
They have booth seating as well as table seating and yes the have high chairs (no tray attached at the front though.) They also have children’s forks and plastic plates.
All drinks are self-serve for around 150 yen.
There isn’t a change table but I think I would easily manage to change a nappy of a small baby of this counter (excuse my toilet photography!)

Kintan
Only two minutes walk from JR Ebisu Station is yakiniku & teppanyaki restaurant Kintan. This restaurant is family friendly. The entire restaurant is non-smoking and they accept most major credit cards. They do not have high chairs but they can offer families with small children sofa style/booth seating. For lunch I would budget around 2000 yen per adult but dinner is more expensive at more like 9000 yen per adult. They do charge a 5% service fee.
This restaurant does accept reservations. If your kids aren’t great at being quiet or sitting still you can also request one of their two private rooms (called “koshitsu” in Japanese) for 4-6 people for an additional cost. Kintan do have an English menu. Lunch is so reasonably priced but this place feels fancy inside.
*There is another restaurant called Kintan Steak in Ebisu. Be sure to not get the wrong restaurant.

Ramen
For ramen in the Ebisu station area, I recommend Afuri.
They do accept major credit cards. The restaurant is only bar stool type seating so would be tricky with toddlers.
Please note that this store does not accept cash.
They have vegetarian options. This is one of the few ramen places in Japan that sells chicken ramen – this is handy if you don’t eat pork.

Although it is a bit of a hike from the station ( a good 15 mins on foot) Ebisu Garden Place often has a beer garden on weekends in the warmer months with a bit¥g green (fake) grass area for kids to play. (Its right in the middle of the Garden Place complex).
And, during the day, you can go up to the top of the tower (on the restaurant floors) and get a free look at the city.
Within the Ebisu Garden Place complex you you will find international grocery store Kaldi.*Kaldi stores are fab for if your kids are craving more familiar food options. Here you can find international items such as Halal options, oat crackers, oatmeal, twinings earl grey, tomato juice, cous cous, maple syrup, skippy peanut butter, nutella, vegemite etc. It’s on the B2 floor and is open 10am-8pm.
Kid-friendly Japanese fusion izakaya
My favourite family-friendly restaurants (particularly at dinner time) are the kind that don’t feel too family friendly. This one ticks the box for me! Kichiri has such yummy food and a grown up vibe but it is also good for kids. Even small babies in fact as staff will organize a seat with a large cushion backing so babies could even get in some “tummy-time” while you eat!
Kichiri is a chain of restaurants so, if you’re a fan, you can keep an eye out for them all over Japan. I would call the food ‘Japanese fusion’. The menu is in English and it’s open until 2am (last orders at 1am). The restaurant’s interior is minimal, chic and futuristic. I love it!
I recommend making a booking (especially if there are more than 2 of you.) Once you enter the restaurant, shoes go in a locker and you hang on to your key….
then you’ll be shown to your table.
The tables are all floor level but the place where you put your legs (below the knee) is cut out – so your body is still making a “sitting in a chair”- shape.
After you’ve placed your order, your waiter will bring you an “otoshi” which is a tiny appetizer of the day. It’s probably best to think of this as a compulsory “table charge.” (This is standard practice in Japanese Izakaya Pubs)
It looks quite fancy inside but I think it’s pretty reasonable. With drinks and ordering a few dishes each , I’d probably budget for 4000 yen per person? (way less for children, of course) There are also course menu options. There are other Kichiri’s all over Tokyo. For example: Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Ginza & Shibuya.
My favourite dish BY FAR is the fried corn. The picture doesn’t do it justice. It’s just so hard to not order another serving!

Italian
Or if you’re craving family-friendly Italian, I recommend going to Knock Cucina for lunch or dinner. It is 3 mins walk from Ebisu Station.
For lunch I would budget around 1500 yen per adult and more like 5000 yen at dinner time. This restaurant accepts most major credit cards -and is completely cashless.
Please note that there is a service charge at dinner time of 500 yen per person.
This restaurant has a kids menu and a vegetarian menu. The entire restaurant is non-smoking.

Kushikatsu Tanaka is a great family friendly option – the restaurant is non-smoking and almost all food options are fried and served on skewers – so it makes it easy for kids who want to try lots of different meat or veggie options. It’s super casual here – and can be a bit noisy (but in a good way.)
Please note that this restaurant is cash-only. Please note that there is a 300 yen service charge per person (and you will receive anOtoshi as a thank you when you sit down.)

They are famous for their french toast at brunch but their dinner menu is also delicious. Their website says their dresscode is casual but I’d say smart casual (Japanese people don’t really do casual. )
Their entire menu is on their website in English and Japanese.

Omakase Sushi
If you would like to try Omakase Sushi Menu that also allows children, I recommend jumping on public transport or a cab for 10 mins (approx 1500 yen by cab) to Sushi Asahi in Gotanda. Sushi Asahi, Gotanda
Sushi Asahi welcomes families. Omakase course are either side of 15,000 yen and children will also need to order a course (lunch courses are more liken 5000-8000 yen though.) They accept most major credit cards. There are 6 seats at the counter and 24 table seats. Sushi Asahi is 3 mins walk from the East Exit of Gotanda Station. The entire restaurant is non-smoking. For adults, this is an excellent place to try a sushi and sake pairing menu. Reservations can be made via table check (deposit required.) If dining here with children isn’t an option for you, check out the Sushi Asahi incredible INCREDIBLE takeout sushi options here (can also be ordered by tablecheck (easisest if you’re clicking through on their site though with the help of a Japanese speaker.)
Please note : OMAKASE IS NOT FOR FUSSY / PICKY EATERS.

Toraji Yakiniku is a yakiniku chain found in many different parts of Japan. However, this Ebisu store is the “head store” or “main branch.” This restaurant is 5 mins walk from the West Exit of Ebisu Station. This restaurant welcomes families (although it is best to make a reservation.) Toraji in Ebisu has an English menu. The entire restaurant is non-smoking and they do accept most major credit cards. I would budget for 8000 yen per adult awhen eating here. Wagyu is also on the menu here. See the full Toraji Ebisu menu via this link here. As it is Yakiniku, you will have your own barbeque grill in the middle of the table and a variety of marinades. It’s a great meal for kids to join in on. You can ask for tatami or horigotatsu style seating or table seating.

Another lovely family dinner option is a soba (buckwheat noodle) restaurant called Soba Ikkon. Children and babies are welcome here. Soba Ikkon has space to store your stroller while you dine. I recommend ordering the fried eggplant with mochi and meat itame (itame is like a stir-fry), dashi-maki tamago, fried chicken wings, the duck mince breadcrumbed cutlet, shrimp tempura, the katsudon or the curry rice. There is also a selection of hot and cold soba noodle dishes to choose from. This is a great place for the parents in the group to try some hot and cold sake too.
Soba Ikkon has an english menu. You can make a reservation at this restaurant here via tablecheck. The entire restaurant is non-smoking.
If you are plan to dine here, I recommend budgeting for 8000 yen per adult at dinner time and more like 2000 yen for a lunch set at a weekend lunchtime. This restaurant accepts most major credit cards.

If you are travelling to Japan as a tourist and want to know which areas I recommend to stay with kids – please see my post here.
Another suggestion: If you have kids who are vegan or have egg or dairy allergies in Tokyo – how about moving from Ebisu to Te Cor Gentil vegan bakery and the playground next door in neighbouring Azabujuban. To get to Te Cor Gentil from Ebisu , take a cab for 12 mins.
Amishiro Park in Azabu-Juban is a good one. As always, my kids are crazy for a good swing and a roller-slide. It’s also very close to Dumbo Doughnuts (I have all of my Azabu-Juban recommendations for this area here.)
