The story

Night Market Tokyo – Bib Gourmand South East Asian Dining in Shibuya

Night Market recreates the electric atmosphere of an Asian night market in the heart of Shibuya, Tokyo. Chef Chihiro Naito, whose career includes years at the acclaimed French restaurant L’Effervescence and the modern Vietnamese kitchen An Di, channels that experience into a menu where cuisines and techniques from across Southeast Asia and beyond collide.

The restaurant’s name is its philosophy. Here, food cultures, local flavors, original aromas, and ideas from all over the world are collected and mixed together. The result is a constantly changing menu that responds to available ingredients. An example lineup might feature charcoal-grilled duck breast with kecap manis (Indonesia), steamed tilefish and clams with pla num manao (Thailand), and a cold soup of cucumber and kiwi (Vietnam), alongside a classic pho and a banh flan for dessert.

This playful, exploratory South East Asian cooking earned Night Market a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2026, a recognition of good quality, good value cooking. The buzz and fragrance of a real night market are recreated in the restaurant’s warm, welcoming setting, with counter dining and air conditioning adding to the comfort.

The restaurant’s mascot, a “Night bear,” roams global markets in search of rare and delicious ingredients—a fitting symbol for a kitchen that prizes discovery and surprise. Every dish is built on the idea that mixing makes things delicious, and that crossing borders makes things interesting.
