We were in Tokyo for 5 days. Not enough time (I don't know if anything is enough time, it's so amazing). It's super easy to get around but there's so much there. I'd plan to go to a specific area and spend your day in that area.
Not sure if going with kids, but this is a great guide on playgrounds:

For food, almost anything is great but if you want to really hone in on great food, the website https://tabelog.com/en/ is great. Even if you notice a place, just Google "Ippudo roppongi tabelog" or whatever and it'll tell you everything you need to know about the place. Japanese are very honest reviewers and a place that's 3.5 stars out of 5 will be excellent (4 stars and up will generally be a Michelin Star restaurant). |
I was only in Tokyo for 5 days too and that was not definitely not enough time. Was in HK for 3 weeks earlier though so it was a stop on the way back.
If I knew Tokyo hotels were going to be that cheap I would have stayed 10 days. But somehow my wife booked a ticket for $1240 in July! My mother in law just booked to go back to HK in November(off season) and it was $2900!
Food is so cheap there. One of my ex-coworker from Disney took us to the Kill Bill Part 1 Restaurant in Roppongi. It was pretty cheap and less expensive than a Japanese restaurant here in Calgary. It was someone's birthday and before they sang happy bday they played the Kill Bill theme song. lol

Team Labs was great too except it monsooned on us while we were waiting to get in. Good thing they had lots of towels in there...
