"Kondo is hallowed ground for monja, a cook-it-yourself delicacy that isn't so much a meal as it is an interactive experience. The restaurant doesn't reinvent the style; rather, it merely provides the perfect environment in which to enjoy it. You'll find higher-quality ingredients here, unlike many of the competing monjayaki destinations in Tokyo's Tsukishima neighborhood. Think: thinly sliced beef and pork and fresh, plump shrimp, all paired with glasses of cold Japanese beer." - Brad Japhe
