Cha Cha Hana Restaurant in Shinjuku

Tucked away about halfway down the charming path behind the  Golden Gai bar labyrinth is Cha Cha Hana, a delightful restaurant that quickly felt like our 'local' during our stay in Shinjuku.

It's part of a wonderful series of restaurants across Tokyo, all sharing the same menu - a charming blend of traditional dishes like Yuba from Kyūshū and modern Japanese favourites, including some lovely shrubs. above photo© Cha Cha Hana

It was the combination of cuteness, friendliness, price, location, and menu that made Cha Cha Hana our go-to spot for a nice bite before or after the Robot Restaurant.

And of course, you feel a bit special knowing about the secret entrance, which is only a secret to tourists!
