Top Pancake restaurants in Chuo City, Japan

5 star restaurant in my opinion. Great food. Attentive, helpful, and polite staff. Seeing my meal get crafted right next to me in the kitchen then getting to eat the delicious Happy Pancake. My waiter was wonderful! She recommended to me the pancake with berry sauce and I got a scoop of ice cream with. It was perfect for the morning before my flight back home!

Came there at 7pm Sunday and had no wait. Upstairs on 7th floor via elevator.

Enjoyed the experience and the pancake was delicious. We got the mixed fruit pancake and it was soft and fluffy. It came with 3 pancakes, some whip cream, and mixed fresh fruit. Store atmosphere was Ok. Overall, recommend a visit!

Ideas for improvement:
- friendlier staff
- more whip cream
- clean the dirty wall

This place has the most fluffy, amazing pancakes. Got up extra early to make sure we got a spot in line right when they opened. A half hour before opening there was already a line. Ordered the cherry blossom pancakes. Delicious! Worth the early wake up call. Visited in March.

Super delicious fluffy souffle like pancakes. The original Happy Pancakes have a very light airy texture with an eggy taste complimented by a honey brown sugar syrup. My wife and I shared one but they are so light that we could have easily handled our own.

You go to the shop to sign up for a queue and then you can leave and come back when called. We signed up at 10:30 on a Friday and the queue took about 90 minutes.

READ THIS REVIEW!!!

This place has great fluffy pancakes. Better than ones I've had in the past. However, there is always a wait. NO WALK INS. The online wait is usually 2-3 hours because the pancakes take a while to make. You can add yourself to the queue by scanning the QR code picture that I have attached to the review. The reservation system opens at 9:45 am. Enjoy!!

The pancakes at A Happy Pancake Ginza 幸せのパンケーキ 銀座店 are delectable, especially the one with cheese sauce.

Ensure to reserve your spot using the QR code and return punctually for your booking. They don't accommodate walk-ins, a system I find preferable to enduring long queues. The only drawback is when people fail to honor their reservations, causing system congestion. A solution could be to accept credit cards and impose charges for no-shows, similar to other establishments.

The restaurant has a QR code you can scan and join the queue. We got in the queue half an hour before it opened as they put the sign out already at that time. We waited maybe 15 minutes after opening to sit down. The pancakes were so soft and delicious. I got the strawberry white chocolate pancake, and it had a strawberry cream and white chocolate shavings. However, because of the toppings, it was pretty sweet and a little bit on the heavy side. Still, I really enjoyed it!

Found this place randomly and decided to reserve a table for the next morning. That proved to be a good decision, make sure you book a table and arrive about 5min early!
The restaurant is on the 7th floor and always full of people. The staff was very friendly and spoke English too.
The pancakes looked really nice and there are many options to choose from, so everyone will find something.
I imagined the taste to be a bit different, as you'll mainly taste egg. Still very good tho. It was also no problem to have an alteration to your order, as I substituted butter for vanilla ice cream.

This place seems to close when they “feel” like it, not honoring their operation hours whatsoever. I have tried to eat at this place twice already and both times they decided to close early for a “special” reason. Since they closed early the first time, I tried to swing by a 2nd time and they said “normally we close at 8pm and last call is at 7pm but today we are closing early” this was at 6pm!!! Also there was 3 big bags of trash we had to hop over in order to get to their entrance. Very classy. That was sarcasm by the way. Never coming back to this place again. Do better, honor your operation hours and stop wasting people’s time. Thanks.

Famous with their extremely delicious, thick and smooth pancake!

Excellent high quality pancakes. Perfect consistency. Though they come with weird toppings: red bean paste, chedder cheese? But also butter, cream and maple syrup which is all you need. Expensive, most expensive pancakes I've had but worth one trip if you're a pancake enthusiast.

Secluded cafe that specializes in chiffon style pancakes. Excellent place for a small escape from the bustling streets. The lunch set comes with a salad and Bolognese topping. I recommend eating that separately and not pouring it over the pancakes but styles may differ by person!

Nice tucked hidden gem from hustle and bustle that is Ginza. Located upstairs, with cozy and spacious booth and large communal table. Rarity in Tokyo. Pancakes or hot cakes as they call it here ("hoto keiki") are worth the wait. Soft, balanced and flavorful. Definitely much more enjoyable than Gram. Good strong coffee. Service can be slooooow.

Simple yet super good tasting pancakes. The butter tasted so good that i think i can eat it by itself. The combination of savory cheese and the sweet pancakes is something surprisingly matching.

Interior is nice and the atmosphere is quiet. Definitely worth a second visit.

It's a little hard to find (3rd floor), but definitely worth the visit. One of the best hot cakes I've had in Japan, particularly compared to the famous ones nearby with a >1hr wait. The atmosphere is relaxing, beautiful decor. And of course the hot cakes are the star here - with simple toppings (esp the butter!!) - which brings out the taste of the amazing hot cakes. Definitely recommend!!

Incredible soft airy pancakes with syrup and cheese. Most of them are made in Hokkaido. There are enough space to have relaxing cozy time on sofa.
