I think it depends where you get out - these are not tourist-type restaurants, but rather novelties for the neighbourhoods. For sure, stay the heck away from Japanese bread. Worst experience ever: biting into a nice freshly baked roll, to find fish paste where I thought would be some kinda jam. Gross. Traditional Japanese food, and all the fixings in between, can be very, very good. I loved my Ramen days, my Korean BBQ too. Tokyo food was good for me after a year. You've gotta get out into the neighborhoods. Same as anywhere, really.
