We can certainly look!
How far from the station can you go? What type of food? What are your specific needs?
Thank you. Near the station is preferable but can travel. No food requirements but need stair free access and can not sit on the floor or on high stools. (We can get up one step but not many). Many thanks
I looked at few Ramen restaurants online but photos seem to suggest there may be stairs and there is no info on the websites so I wondered if anyone has had a positive experience of being able to get into a nice restaurant. My son is in a manual chair and can do standing transfers. Thank you!
Ramen can be difficult.. you may want to try Ramen Street in Tokyo Station.
Asakusa is famous for soba and tempura, you should check out Akimitsu, I’ve been there twice in my power wheelchair:

If the weather is nice, eating on the street seating areas of Hoppy Dori is fun too.
Ramen restaurants in Tokyo are very compact and less tables venues in general except ones in shopping malls food court. In Asakusa area, you may visit Ramen restaurants in Solamachi at Tokyo Skytree.

Thank you both! That is really helpful.
If i may add as well,
When we visited Asakusa last November 8, our tour guide brought us to Sushi Zanmai & my wheelchair just perfectly fits inside. Another thing is that during our stay in Tokyo, we used Google map & it will show the wheel chair sign if it is a wheel chair accessible or not. Experienced wise I agree from what i was advised as well by Josh & some friends in here that bigger restaurants are wheelchair accessible !
I use a power wheelchair and went to these restaurants in Asakusa area last year :
