MK Guide Recommends
Down a laneway off Ikebukuro West Exit, ha‑ha offers a dimly lit yet homey retreat. Its reputation rests on a Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday-only crab-cream pasta that draws loyal fans, but the kitchen’s range—from spicy peperoncino to chicken cacciatora—keeps the menu approachable. With 20 table seats and a small counter, plus friendly service and occasional celebratory extras (like message plates), it’s a warm pick for relaxed lunches, weekday gatherings, or casual weekend dinners—showing that simple flavors and genuine hospitality still shine in Tokyo’s busy corners.
