I had heard that there was a great selection of food at the basement floor (or depachika) in Shibuya Scramble Square, so we decided to head there for lunch since it was raining and we wanted to stay indoors all day. Of course, the original food tour I had watched was made 3 years ago and it seems like there's not nearly as many exciting options as there was back then. After circling the food floor twice, we ended up getting more snack foods than anything else:
Curry beef and potato bun
Tomato and gruyère quiche tart
Pumpkin, potato, and purple sweet potato korokke
Purple sweet potato korokke
Pork loin katsu
The only problem is that all the items we got were served cold. I'm not sure if the counters have an option for heating up food to be eaten right away, but they didn't offer us the option (maybe because we don't speak Japanese so they didn't think we'd understand). There is a very small dining area in the centre of the floor where there is a microwave, but aside from the curry bun, all of the items we got would have lost its crispy integrity after microwaving. (On that note, do not get cold pork katsu. The exterior is still really nice and crispy, but the pork is tough and chewy and is absolutely not worth wasting your stomach space on when there are so many katsu restaurants around.) Anyway, I'm not sure if it's the specific items we chose, but there's definitely way better food options around here. I'd say save your money and pick one of the many other full-serve restaurants at Shibuya Scramble Square.
