Looks like there is one closer to me down the coast. I'm excited to give it a try.

Does American count as ethnic? Troubadour in Tama Plaza (and the other restaurants in the Mother Lucy's group) are all good for American style dishes. Especially the pies!

Zeytin, near Yamashita Park has the best Turkish food I've had in Japan (better than Ceyhan and far better than another place I won't name).

Nakshatra (near Chinatown) does some great South Indian.

Sparta (near Kannai) does some solid Greek. (The grilled octopus is soooo good.)

Casa de Fujimori (near Kannai) is quite known for its Spanish. I also like the Spanish tapas bar Chabora near Ishikawacho.

TJ tacos from Wangs dining in Motomachi. Fantastic 👌

Authentic sushis 👌 which are very "ethnic" to me (very weird to say that a food is "ethnic", since any single food is linked to one or more ethnicity, but anyway)

Many ethnicities are linked to more than one ethnicity as well.
