Toyosu Fish Market is home to 39 restaurants spread across three main areas: three in the Fruit and Vegetable Building (1F), 13 in the Management Office Building (3F), and 22 in the Marine Products Intermediate Wholesaler Building (3F).

Visitors can explore between 3 AM and 5 PM, though most restaurants close by early afternoon. Hours vary by shop, so it’s best to check ahead. Crowds build up around 11 AM, so aim to visit between 8 and 11 AM for the freshest dishes and shortest waits.

The market is easy to reach by public transport. Shijo-mae Station on the Yurikamome Line is right next door, while Toyosu Station (Tokyo Metro) and Shimbashi Station (JR) are also nearby. Several city buses stop in the area as well.

If you’re driving, note that only registered vehicles can enter the on-site parking lot. There are paid public lots nearby, so plan your route in advance if you’re arriving by car.

Even back at the old Tsukiji Market, long lines for the famous Sushi Dai were a familiar sight. The restaurant remains just as popular after moving to Toyosu, officially open from 6 AM to 2 PM, but often closes early due to overwhelming demand. On weekdays, it usually wraps up around 11 AM, and on Saturdays or holidays, it can sell out as early as 9 AM!

Because there’s a strict daily limit on how many customers can be served, it’s best to visit first thing in the morning and make it your breakfast stop rather than waiting for lunch.

Most customers go for the Tencho Omakase Set, which features around ten kan and one rolled sushi, with the selection changing daily depending on the day’s catch. For the final kan, you can even choose your favorite to complete the set.

As with most sushi shops with counters, you can watch the chef prepare the dishes. It is easy to become transfixed watching the skilled hands of the chef preparing each one.

This was the colorful selection served on the day we visited and which contained otoro (fatty tuna), anago (conger eel), uni (sea urchin), tai (red snapper), and sanma (Pacific saury).

One taste, and you’ll be in heaven. The fish is so fresh and delicious it is certain to bring a smile to your face. The tamagoyaki is equally delicious.

Despite being a famous sushi restaurant noted for the chef’s high skills and the food’s quality, you shouldn’t feel hesitant about entering because the shop has a friendly at-home atmosphere.

“We want you to enjoy yourself. It’s only natural to enjoy dining out and enjoying delicious food. For the occasion to be delightful, it is absolutely essential that the atmosphere also be important!” says the manager, Mr. Urushibara.

To foreign guests, he says, “Thank you!” and “Xièxiè!” to make them feel at home. There’s no doubt that it is not only the quality of the sushi but also the warm hospitality that attracts so many customers.

It is easy to understand why so many people line up to eat here. This is a shop I heartily recommend which will leave you feeling very satisfied.

Senriken started as a milk hall in Nihonbashi even before the Uogashi was moved to Tsukiji. Senriken is a long-established coffee shop that’s been operating for over 100 years, cheerfully serving the market workers for a very long time. It’s a recommended stop for both breakfast and lunch as it operates from 5 AM to 1 PM.

The Cream Stew with Soft Boiled Egg has long been a favorite on the menu. In the morning, we recommend the special set inspired by traditional Japanese coffee shop breakfasts. It includes a half size bowl of the creamy stew with a soft boiled egg, toast, a small salad, and coffee. Even the half size portion, made with a whole egg, is quite satisfying.

Breaking open the egg in the stew releases the soft yellow yolk, which blends well. The gentle, creamy flavor is perfect for breakfast.

The Katsu Sandwich (pork cutlet sandwich) is another popular item on the menu. Ragout, a Western-style restaurant near Suitengumae, is the sister shop of Senriken, opened by the current owner, Mr. Kawashima, in 1983. The sandwich’s tender meat and crisp coating pair perfectly with the lightly toasted bread, making it easy to see why it has such a devoted following.

“Wow!” was all I could say when I saw the Miruko Soft Cream, a milk coffee–flavored soft ice cream served in a cup for easy eating with a spoon.

Third-generation owner Mr. Kawashima says, “I wanted to make a flavor that I thought adults would like to eat and not tire of.”

This soft ice cream dish is a new addition to the menu that has been added since moving to Toyosu. It has a rich flavor of robustly roasted coffee, and the sweetness is subdued.

The shop also has a menu in English. It seems that a happy customer made it, and this shows how much the shop is loved by its regular customers.

You can get sandwiches, coffee, and soft-serve cream for takeout, too! Stop by and enjoy Toyosu Fish Market’s historic cafe!

Tonkatsu Odayasu has been popular for its set lunches since it was in Tsukiji. The menu includes several other fried dishes, including seasonal oysters, in addition to its pork cutlets.

It started in 1938 as an izakaya (Japanese-style pub), and later the first owner shifted the focus to fried foods after training in a western-style restaurant.

The A Set Meal is one of the most popular choices, featuring a fried prawn, a crab cream croquette, and a pork loin cutlet. The fried prawn is especially impressive, with a satisfying crunch and generous size.

The Scotch Egg is a signature dish available only at Odayasu. A soft boiled egg is wrapped in seasoned hamburger meat, coated with bread crumbs, and deep fried to perfection, creating a delightful mix of textures. You can enjoy it as part of a set meal or order it on its own.

The fried oyster meal is a popular seasonal favorite available only in winter, when oysters are at their best—large, plump, and full of flavor. You’ll be amazed by their size and juiciness. While the classic fried oysters are already a treat, those looking for something extra should try the butter sautéed oyster meal for an even richer taste.

The menu has a rich selection of tasty dishes made with fresh seafood products from the market and the finest meats from butcher shops.

Primarily set meals are served; however, you may also order individual items that go especially well with drinks as a snack. There is also no charge for second helpings of rice. Once you find the one thing you like, try a little bit of the other items on the menu, too. This is a great place to have a drink with delicious snacks.

Odayasu is usually packed between 11 AM and 2 PM. It closes at 3 PM, with last orders taken by 2 PM, so be sure to arrive early. An English menu is available, making it easy for visitors to order.

In addition to its Toyosu Fish Market location, Odayasu also has a branch in Tsukiji that serves both lunch and dinner, which is well worth visiting if you are in the area.

Most likely, many visitors going to the market are looking for places to eat sushi and fresh seafood dishes, but Nakaei, established in 1912, has excellent Indian curry. The curries are all made by hand following original recipes handed down through generations, giving each a comforting and nostalgic flavor.

Each curry has a unique base, allowing you to enjoy a variety of flavors. Popular options include Indo Curry (pork), Beef Curry, Broiled Pork, and Seafood Curry.

The Aigake is a favorite choice, letting you combine two different types of curry on one plate. You can mix and match from Indo Curry, Beef Curry, Broiled Pork, or Hayashi Rice.

The Indo Curry has a mild spice, while the Beef Curry is slightly hotter. Hayashi Rice (hashed beef rice) offers a gentle, tomato-based sweetness. If you prefer extra heat, you can ask to have your curry made spicier.

Since most visitors come to the market to enjoy seafood, a must-try is the Tsukiji Uogashi Seafood Curry, made with the freshest catch of the day. This flavorful dish features snow crab, shrimp, and scallops, creating a rich, ocean-inspired taste that sets it apart.

You can also take these delicious flavors home, as the curries are available for purchase as gifts. Each pack contains about five servings, making it a great souvenir or treat to enjoy later.

All of the curry dishes and Hayashi rice come with cabbage and toppings; the Nakaei style for eating them is to mix them with the curry. Combined with the roux, the spiciness becomes milder, making for a more refreshing taste.

Adding Fukujinzuke (a Japanese version of chutney) accentuates the tart taste that adds flavor. A pay-in-advance method is used here, so you need to pay when you order.

The shop is always packed with people who work at the market because of its reasonable prices and hearty portions. This “cafeteria of the market” lives up to its reputation for providing market workers with filling and satisfying dishes. The menu is only in Japanese, but I’m confident you will enjoy the original curry flavors in this warm atmosphere.

From the time it was located in the Tsukiji Market, Tenfusa has been a well-known tempura restaurant. Now it is located on the first floor of the Fruit and Vegetables building. It is so popular that overseas guests who often come to Japan make it a point to eat here regularly. There is also a simple menu in English.

In keeping with the character of the market, it serves ”tempura that can be eaten even from the morning,” and special attention is paid to the oil and panko bread crumbs used in making it. This is evident in the light, perfectly fried breaded morsels that, when tasted, make you forget that it is fried food. It’s a meal perfect for mornings.

One of the must-try dishes is the tendon (tempura bowl). You can choose between the regular size or the larger Jyo-tendon. The sauce recipe has remained unchanged for over 20 years, giving each bite a taste of tradition.

A seasonal highlight is the prawn tempura, known for its fragrant aroma and rich umami flavor. You can also customize your bowl by selecting your favorite tempura pieces or order items individually to enjoy each type on its own.

And while it is a tempura restaurant, it has another popular set meal as well: red meat of southern Bluefin tuna served together with tempura. When you come to the market, you really should try the sashimi! Visitors from overseas who enjoy sashimi will find this to be the perfect place.

Mr. Suzuki, the cheerful proprietor of the shop, says special attention is paid to using rice that makes for a delicious meal in the morning.

He has polished rice made from unpolished rice by a specialized rice farmer directly sent to him. The special care given to this selection of rice further brings out the flavor of the tempura.

In addition to delicious tempura, there is a variety of other menu selections, including sashimi and stewed fish.

Like sushi, tempura is a Japanese food that is a must. From 11 in the morning until the restaurant closes, there is always a line of customers waiting to get in, so if you plan to visit, I suggest you come early in the morning for breakfast. Tenfusa is located on the first floor of the Fruit and Vegetable Building close to the station, so you can’t miss it.

Ooedo was founded around 1909. Before the Toyosu or Tsukiji market, it could be found at the first Nihonbashi Market.

Ooedo is a seafood bowl specialty shop with a history of feeding hungry market workers. Although Toyosu Fish Market already offers daily fresh catches, Ooedo prides itself on selecting from regions with the best seasonal seafood. This long-established shop also relies on experts to help them choose items of the highest quality!

This restaurant offers an impressive variety of toppings and seafood dishes. For those who want to sample a bit of everything, the Gorogoro Fisherman’s Meal is a top pick, generously piled with fresh, large-portioned seafood.

This colorful bowl features 14 ingredients, including tuna, seared bonito, yellowtail, salmon, minced tuna, sea bream, vinegared mackerel, boiled octopus, silver-stripe round herring, scallops, squid, a Japanese-style rolled omelet, pickled radish, and toasted seaweed.

The dish pictured above is the Extra Salmon Roe Fisherman’s Meal, a variation of the previous bowl topped with a generous serving of salmon roe. It’s so abundantly layered that the rice is completely hidden beneath the toppings.

We recommend eating this bowl by mixing soy sauce and wasabi together to pour on top! In addition to the large seafood toppings, the pickled radish enhances the flavor of the luxurious Fisherman’s Meal. What’s more, the toasted seaweed is quite large, enabling you to wrap your favorite toppings to make a sushi roll!

Another must-try is the Sea Urchin Hokkaido Bowl, lavishly topped with fresh raw sea urchin. This luxurious dish showcases the best of Hokkaido’s seafood, featuring shrimp, crab, salmon roe, salmon, and scallops—all served over a bed of rice for an unforgettable taste of northern Japan.

This is another dish recommended eating with a mixture of soy sauce and wasabi poured on top. Each topping is unbelievably chunky and big! Offering new ways to enjoy seafood than just the normal nigiri (hand-formed sushi), you won’t be able to get enough of the fatty salmon, creamy sea urchin, and sweet shrimp! All meals come with miso soup, and a larger portion of rice can be ordered for an additional 100 yen.

The restaurant is welcoming with its counter tables and friendly staff! The menus have photos of all the dishes, so you can order easily even if you don’t understand Japanese.

One of Tsukiji Fish Market’s popular and long-established restaurants, Washoku Katou, has reopened at Toyosu Fish Market as Ikinoya. Seafood dishes at Toyosu Fish Market usually include some type of sushi! However, some foreign visitors don’t like raw fish.

Ikinoya is the perfect stop for such customers as it also serves grilled or boiled fish. Moreover, this restaurant has a range of fish dishes, such as original meals made from rarely used cuts of the fish!

One of the top dishes served here is the Miso-marinated Black Cod. As it was a previous staple at Washoku Katou, the original flavors of this meal have been recreated faithfully. The miso paste used to marinate the black cod is homemade, and there’s a perfect balance of sweetness that will have you reaching for more rice!

The fatty slice of black cod is absolutely mouthwatering! Foreign visitors who aren’t accustomed to eating such dishes should also give it a try!

The restaurant manager, Mr. Yanagisawa, enthusiastically suggested, “I highly recommend delicious tuna haramo (located in the abdomen under the fatty tuna) and tuna tail!”

Those who prefer luxurious seafood bowls should go for the Big Catch Bowl. Generous cuts of eight seafood toppings cover a bed of rice!

This includes golden eye snapper, lean tuna, young yellowtail, domestic salmon, salmon roe, scallops, raw shrimp, and kelp with herring roe. With this bowl, customers can enjoy unique seafood toppings such as golden eye snapper and kelp with herring roe!

Please try this dish by mixing wasabi with soy sauce and pouring it over the rice. Each hefty topping is so thick, you’ll struggle to lift them with chopsticks. This is a bowl you’ll be more than satisfied with!

Customers looking to try a mix of raw and cooked fish by sharing various meals with families or friends should order the Sashimi Meal. Sashimi slices this big would cost a fortune when made into sushi! Since the raw fish slices are separated from the rice, it’s a nice meal when wanting to try a few things at a time.

This spacious restaurant largely has table seating. Although most market restaurants can’t fit large groups, Ikinoya can accommodate parties over four! Menus don’t come in other languages, but photos of each dish make it easy to order.

For Japanese people, sushi is a special dish, whereas grilled fish with rice and miso soup is an everyday staple. Ikinoya’s offers homestyle cooking but makes it taste professional! This gem of a restaurant has a variety of fish dishes to enjoy!

The Toyosu Fish Market plays a central role in Tokyo’s and Japan’s food culture! Because this market imports ingredients from various regions of the country, visitors can delight in fresh, cheap, and delicious meals!

Foodies won’t be disappointed with the many dining options at long-established restaurants that keep true to their founding flavors or eateries that have modernized their tastes to suit current times better!

After enjoying the market's savory delights, consider stopping by "Mosuke Dango Honten," a traditional Japanese confectionery shop established in 1898. Their fish-shaped "Osakana Monaka" wafers are a popular souvenir, and the adjoining café serves classic Japanese sweets like anmitsu and oshiruko (sweet red bean soup). It's the perfect spot to rest and experience authentic wagashi culture.

Please come to the Toyosu Fish Market to taste some of the rare delicacies offered!
