Shibuya Channel’s “Otoku Lunch” (お得ランチ) section tracked ¥500 lunch deals around the Shibuya basin. The hub listed fifteen spots with dish names, brief access notes, and publication dates — a practical index rather than full restaurant reviews.
Prices and shops change quickly in central Tokyo. Treat every line below as historical documentation unless you confirm current menus independently.
How to read this roundup
Each block follows the list order (newest first). Dish titles keep the ¥500 lunch framing. Walking times start from the JR station named in each entry.

Archive note
The original hub linked to a past articles archive (過去記事一覧) for older ¥500 lunch entries not reproduced on this captured index page. This roundup intentionally stops at the fifteen listings above — no additional restaurants are inferred.
Many routes pass Hachiko Gate, Center Gai, and the scramble crossing — the same pedestrian flows visible on the Shibuya Crossing live camera today. Use that view for orientation, then cross-check each address before planning a lunch walk from 2011–2012 directions. This ¥500 roundup is historical; for current budget patterns across the city, read cheap eats in Tokyo.
