The take
The Take
The Vibe
Oriental Lounge presents itself on Tabelog as a cafe-bar hybrid centered on seasonal afternoon tea offerings. The listing emphasizes a non-smoking environment and an all-you-can-drink option, positioning the venue as a place focused on curated daytime and early evening experiences rather than late-night clubbing. The profile and user-generated content on Tabelog — menus, maps, reviews, ratings and photos — give patrons practical information to set expectations. The venue’s presentation reads as service-oriented and accessible, with an emphasis on drinks and a tea-focused menu that appeals to visitors seeking a dedicated afternoon program.
Best For
This spot is best for daytime gatherings centered on afternoon tea and light drinking. The explicit mention of a 'Seasonal Afternoon Tea' and an all-you-can-drink offering makes it a natural choice for people looking to linger over curated sweet and savory tea items paired with beverages. As a cafe and bar hybrid, it suits casual meetups, relaxed catch-ups and anyone exploring Mitsukoshimae’s dining options via Tabelog. The non-smoking policy also makes it appropriate for groups seeking a smoke-free setting while enjoying a beverage-focused experience.
Ordering Tips
Reserve online when possible — the listing specifically mentions online reservations. Expect a menu focused on seasonal afternoon tea items and beverage packages; the 'all-you-can-drink' note suggests set drink options or timed drink plans rather than à la carte continuous service. Check the Tabelog page for menus, user photos and reviews to gauge portion sizes and drink inclusions before booking. Also note the venue is listed as non-smoking, which is useful to confirm when arranging seating for mixed groups or family members who prefer smoke-free spaces.

Restaurant context
Oriental Lounge sits in the upper price tier among Mandarin Oriental Tokyo's dining outlets. At JPY 8,000–9,999 plus service charge, it costs significantly more than The Mandarin Oriental Gourmet Shop (JPY 1,000–1,999) or The Pizza Bar on 38th (¥¥¥), both of which offer casual dining without the bar-program emphasis. If you're prioritizing food over drinks, The Pizza Bar on 38th shares the same floor and view but delivers a more straightforward meal-focused experience. For a seafood-focused option at a lower price point, Xie Wang Fu offers crab specialties without the lounge format or extended hours.
At the high end, SIGNATURE (JPY 10,000–19,999) and Tapas Molecular Bar both deliver tasting-menu experiences with more culinary ambition but less flexibility, SIGNATURE requires a full dinner commitment, Tapas Molecular Bar seats only a handful of guests at a time with significantly harder booking. Oriental Lounge's advantage is its accessibility: you can drop in for drinks without a tasting menu, bring a family group without age restrictions, book a table without the weeks-ahead planning required at Tokyo's most competitive bars. If your priority is cocktails with a view in a space that accommodates varying group sizes and dietary needs, Oriental Lounge is the most practical choice in this hotel. For a standalone cocktail bar with comparable drink quality and easier pricing, explore options in Tokyo's broader bar scene.
