01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Having a warm, reliable meal close at hand brings welcome relief during hospital visits and consultations. Situated within the ward building of Tokyo Metropolitan Bokutoh Hospital, Pole Light caters both to diners looking for a quick bite and those seeking a nourishing sit-down meal.
Approachable Bokuto Curry and Lunch Staples
A standout on the menu is the Bokuto curry, served with salad. Prepared in the comforting style of classic Japanese curry rice and accompanied by red fukujinzuke pickles, it offers an easy, aromatic flavor that goes down smoothly. Diners with a hearty appetite can choose katsu curry or hamburger steak curry, while a half-size portion is on hand for lighter meals.
Set meals and rice bowls are equally well represented. The daily special comes complete with rice, soup, and a small side dish, alongside perennial favorites such as ginger pork, whole head-on fried shrimp, and crisp chicken karaage. With additions like eel bowls glazed in sweet-savory sauce, katsudon, and vegetable-rich chukadon, the menu accommodates a wide range of tastes and hunger levels.
Dessert and Afternoon Cafe Breaks
For those lingering after a meal, the cafe menu provides plenty of sweet options. Nostalgic treats include a classic melon cream soda topped with ice cream, traditional custard pudding, and cream shiratama anmitsu. Cake sets pairing coffee or tea with Basque cheesecake or fondant au chocolat offer an easy way to unwind during an afternoon wait.
The dining room is arranged with accessible table seating that suits solo diners comfortably and accommodates wheelchair users. Operating primarily during weekday lunch hours, it provides a quiet spot for a change of pace inside the hospital complex.
