About this place
A short turn off the main avenue in Nezu leads to Kameya, a quiet, homey teishoku diner run by an older husband-and-wife team. The room maintains a hushed, unhurried pace, making it an easy place to settle in alone or linger over a hearty everyday meal without fuss.
The main draw of the menu is the combination meal, which pairs two different mains on one tray. Among the most popular orders is the oyster and ginger pork set, headlined by plump oysters fried fresh to order. Crisp on the outside and tender within, they pair naturally with tartar sauce or hot mustard. Served alongside a separate plate of thick-cut pork ginger-yaki, the set delivers satisfying depth.
Beyond deep-fried staples and ginger pork, the kitchen offers a changing roster of seafood shaped by the day’s market haul, including fried sillago (kisu), chopped horse mackerel (aji tataki), and grilled fish. Diners can also tailor their spread by adding side dishes such as potato salad or menchi-katsu, or opt for gently seasoned katsudon.
Open for both lunch and dinner, Kameya suits a quick midday bite just as well as a relaxed evening meal with a cold beer after work, offering steady comfort built around honest cooking.
