Ebisu-Hirou Area expensive?

i've been looking at Gurunabi, just to have an idea of how much would cost living in Hirou, but every place seems like luxury place! for example, every okonomiyaki-ya has costs, for a simple base okonomiyaki, starting from 1200 yen, and i think it is too expensive.. where can i look, online, for cheap and simple shop? looking with google maps and writing Okonomiyaki, doesn't make difference, same places. i don't think japanese spend 1200 yen for a base okonomiyaki and 2000 yen for a many toppings okonomiyaki, where does Hirou's people eat??

That IS an expensive area :)

That's one of the most expensive areas in Tokyo- people who live there can either a) afford to pay 2000 yen for a meal or b) are sitting in their apartments eating 100 yen cupped ramen to be able to afford their rent.

If you are coming as a student, as your handle suggests, maybe look into some cheaper areas aimed at students?

yeah, i'm a student and.. i have no choice: the campus of the university is situated in Hirou.So i was wondering where to eat out if when I want to whithout taking a Metro line..

There is one Mcdonalds, a few convenience stores and a campus restaurant.

Japanstudent,

You're probably attending that university where all the rich girls go to. Well, I did find a list of "student apartments for those commuting to that university" but the cheapest on the list is already 68000 yen per month. You can still think about commuting from several train stations further from central Tokyo, though.
