Gusto

Perched on the 2nd floor of a building just steps from Nippori Station, Gusto is a handy family restaurant whether traveling through or gathering for an unhurried bite. Opening its doors early at 6:45, the dining room is an easy morning choice for pairing breakfast sets with complimentary soup and the drink bar.

Hamburg steaks anchor the Western-style menu, headlined by the Cheese-IN Hamburg Steak that oozes melted cheese with every cut. Crispy fried chicken set meals supervised by specialty brand Karayoshi and rich tomato meat sauces over pasta offer unfussy, dependable comfort.

The self-service drink bar, stocked with sodas, juices, and hot brews, makes it easy to linger over a meal or refills of soup. A selection of beer, wine, and small izakaya-style dishes also adapts well to casual evening wind-downs.

Orders are placed via tabletop tablets, allowing diners to eat on their own schedule whether stopping for a swift lunch or enjoying a leisurely dessert.
