Erick South Yaesu is an Indian restaurant with small tables and counter seating tucked into the underground mall directly beneath Tokyo Station. The space is compact but functional, with different areas arranged at various levels to accommodate diners.
The restaurant opened in 2011 and introduced southern Indian specialties to the Yaesu business district in central Tokyo. Its founding marked the start of an established presence for Indian food in this underground shopping area.
