Planning to travel with anywhere from 8-12 people.
Want to try to get as many group dining options as possible. Are there any top quality restaurants that can seat this many people?
Happy to hear any must-try restaurants, even if they can’t seat us all!
Edit: Planning to spend most of our time in Tokyo

Most izakayas will be able to accommodate 12 people. They’re designed to accommodate employee gatherings, which can be much larger.
More than what restaurant, you will have to book if you want to all be at the same table. If you want to have an easier time sitting all at the same table, it would be to splint in group of 4 and even picking completely different restaurant, that can allow people to have more options of things to eat depending on what everyone want to eat. This is the way to have the most options available.
I do not have “must try”, I always just go anywhere I find and if I want to eat something specific I just search for the dish in Google Maps.
There are plenty of restaurants that can seat 12 as long as you book ahead. The more “top quality” the earlier you should make a reservation. Without a reservation? Any group of a size bigger than about 4-6 and options will be limited.
