Good to know

• English site, Japanese details. Data comes from Tabelog's English pages, which carry the same restaurant details as the Japanese ones plus coordinates. The street address stays in Japanese, as Tabelog shows it, and nameJapanese has the original name.
• Reviews are translated by Tabelog. On the English site, Japanese reviews appear in Tabelog's own English translation (translatedByTabelog: true).
• No reviewer data at all. No name, avatar, profile link, country or follower count of the person who wrote a review. Photos are the restaurant's and the dishes', from Tabelog's CDN.
• 1,200 per search is Tabelog's limit, not ours: to cover a whole city, split by category or paste area and station list links.
• Something broke? Open an issue on the Actor page.

FAQ

Do I need a Tabelog account? No. Nothing to log in to, no cookies to paste.

Can I paste Japanese Tabelog links? Yes. tabelog.com/tokyo/... and tabelog.com/en/tokyo/... both work, and the same restaurant is never charged twice.

How fast is it? Four restaurants in parallel: 200 restaurants with full details took 52 seconds in a test; 100 in list mode took 5 seconds.

Can I use it from n8n, Make, Zapier or an AI agent? Yes, through the Apify app or the Apify MCP server. Error rows are free, so an agent can explore cheaply.

What if a run is cut by its timeout? The Actor stops 45 seconds before the limit and ends successfully with what it delivered, telling you in the status message how to get the rest.
