pipi aina

For a satisfying meal, tuck into skirt steak coated in a sweet-and-savoury sauce, served over rice. At pipi aina, the “pipi bowl” is a draw for diners seeking the house-special skirt steak bowl. One customer, torn between that and the roast beef bowl, chose the skirt steak and praised its tenderness and the way the sauce complemented the rice. Other diners have ordered loco moco and the special grilled skirt steak bowl at lunchtime, making meat dishes a natural focus of the lunch menu.

There is more to lunch in the Hawaiian-inspired setting than loco moco. Some diners have chosen the hamburger steak and fried prawn lunch, while others have enjoyed mixed fried foods or katsu curry. One review singled out the generous selection of accompaniments and the onion soup served with lunch.

For something after the meal, try the acai bowl (1,050 yen), made with a soy milk-based acai blend topped with banana, strawberry, kiwi, mango, coconut, honey, oatmeal and granola. Those after a more indulgent dessert can opt for the “adult” caramel pudding (450 yen), with a gently sweet, slightly bitter flavour.

Whether you fancy a Hawaiian-inspired plate for lunch or meat dishes and drinks in the evening, this is a place where you can shape your meal around the time of day, with lunch, yakiniku and izakaya-style dishes on offer.
