Yatana is at the moment my favorite Burmese restaurant. If it didn't have a Kakaoke machine, it would be simply perfect. Long menu, good quality, reasonable prices, and a Japanese owner who introduces you to the food and the correct way of eating it. The first time I went he even offered me a cigar. The one thing I don't like about it is the already mentioned karaoke. Nothing to be done about that. I recommend the tea-leaves salad, the ginger salad, the samosa salad and the curry with coconut rice. How to get there: get out of Shin Okubo JR Station, take a left and then immediately a left again. Go ahead 200 meters and you will find Yatana on your right, next door to the infamous Okubo House, now the great Tunisian restaurant Hannibal.
