I have visited this place many times. It faces a main street and you have to turn left to get to the parking lot. It is a one-way street so you have to be careful when leaving. It is not too crowded when it opens at 11 am, but it gets close to full later on. The salad is the same and you can get a refill. It would be nice if there were more variety in colors, it's mostly green (lol). The steak is decent as always. It's a place I come back to when I feel like eating there after a certain amount of time.

I visited the restaurant on Sunday at 11:30 am and had the 200g Kuni Beef Hamburg set with salad and rice. You can change the rice to garlic rice for an additional 300 yen. The salad can be refilled once. The beef hamburger made of 100% beef was delicious. The salad was fresh and crunchy.

Exploring Tokyo's gourmet scene! Visiting the popular roadside charcoal-grilled steak restaurant "Charcoal Steak Kuni Shin-Koiwa Branch" in Katsushika Ward, Okudo. This was my first visit to the restaurant. I had a meeting in Okudo, and after it ended, I felt hungry and wanted to have a hearty meat dish for lunch. As I walked along Kuramaebashi Street towards the direction of Kandai, I spotted a red tent with a two-tone white and red exterior on the left side midway from Shin-Koiwa. Established in 1987, the first branch opened in Ryogoku in 1987, offering authentic steaks a step above family restaurants. They use Kishu Binchotan charcoal for grilling, and their menu ranges from casual and affordable "Pepper Chicken" to high-grade Wagyu beef. Their hamburgers are made with a unique blend of patties, hand-kneaded with care. The tradition of grilling with Kishu Binchotan has been maintained for 36 years. With branches in Ryogoku, Akasaka, and Shin-Koiwa, this popular roadside charcoal-grilled steak restaurant offers authentic flavors. I arrived at around 11:30 am. The spacious and clean interior had only a few customers at that time. As lunchtime approached, the place started filling up gradually. After some contemplation, I ordered the daily lunch special, the Japanese-style grated hamburger lunch set, which came with salad and soup for ¥1160. After a 5-minute wait, the salad and soup were served. The fresh lettuce, paprika, cucumber, and dressing were delicious. The consomme soup had a rich and elegant flavor. The server advised me to wear a paper apron to prevent splattering from the steak. After a 15-minute wait, a sizzling iron pot arrived with the steak, and the server poured sauce over it, creating a bit of entertainment. The hamburger, topped with a large leaf of shiso, grated daikon, and a side of Japanese-style sauce, bean sprouts, and a sunny-side-up egg, was delightful. The hamburger was slightly pink, tender, and juicy, with a refreshing taste due to the grated daikon and Japanese-style sauce. The meat was not greasy, making it a perfect balance. Although I found the steak sauce on the table a bit too intense, it complemented the rice well. The nostalgic hand-kneaded hamburger had a traditional and excellent taste. While the hot iron pot kept the dish piping hot until the end, the downside was that the medium-rare texture turned well-done towards the end. I would have preferred the sunny-side-up egg to be more runny. The authentic charcoal-grilled hamburger was a nostalgic and outstanding dish with a perfect balance of quality and quantity at a reasonable price. I look forward to trying the ordered cut of Miyazawa beef steak next time. This exceptional charcoal-grilled dish has convinced me to revisit the restaurant. Delicious and satisfying!

The restaurant offers a wide range of meats, from high-quality to affordable options. On January 29th, I felt like having some meat and decided to visit. I wasn't very hungry that day, so I ordered a 200g country-cut steak for myself and a 100g Yonezawa beef loin steak with rice for my companion. It was a Sunday lunchtime, and the restaurant was about 60% full with families enjoying their meals. We chatted while eating the side salad that came first, and then our steaks arrived. It took about 15-20 minutes from ordering. I had my country-cut steak rare, while my companion had their loin steak cooked to medium. The country-cut steak had mostly lean meat with some trimmings, giving it a wild and chewy texture. It's a satisfying choice for those who want to eat a lot of meat and enjoy the natural taste. On the other hand, the Yonezawa beef loin steak had a gentle sweetness, rich aroma, and a melting texture when eaten. It's a completely different type of meat from the country-cut steak. I rated it 3.6 because even though the restaurant promotes "order-cut steaks," they seemed to serve pre-cut steaks that were adjusted in grams. I believe that a meal is not just about the taste of the ingredients; it involves various elements like visual appeal, aroma, and taste. I don't have much confidence in my taste buds, so I usually find the dishes prepared by others delicious. If the staff could enhance the entertainment aspect by cutting the steaks in front of customers, it would further improve the experience. Looking forward to it.

Salad, rice, and bread are refillable once. I revisited on December 29, 2022, which happened to be Meat Day, and it was crowded even at 11 am. The meat was still tender and delicious as always. I had a refill of salad. They provide condiments like grated garlic, mustard, and wasabi. The wasabi was not very spicy. They have plenty of parking spaces, so it might be a popular spot for families.

Capital Expressway, get off at Hirai Ohashi and you'll arrive in less than 5 minutes, so I use it occasionally. If you go straight, you'll reach Ichikawa Bridge and then Chiba. There is also a parking lot, making it convenient. I ordered lunch, which cost 1,150 yen. Well, it's not bad and the portion size is decent. However, you can only get rice refills twice, and asking for vegetable refills feels awkward. When looking at the menu, the prices are almost double what they used to be. I understand that prices have gone up due to inflation, but the menu structure further reinforces the feeling of being overpriced. Even if there is a planning team, ultimately decisions need to be approved by the boss. It's important to meet the needs of the customers. Thank you for the meal.

I came back after a long time, but the hamburgers used to be very delicious, and they had a salad bar which I enjoyed. However, it seems like the restaurant has become more ordinary now, which is disappointing. The Miyazawa beef steak was just average. The hamburgers are cheap and might be the best option.

I went to the restaurant because I couldn't find a daily menu on HP, but when I arrived, I saw the daily lunch menu written on a signboard at the entrance! It was a bit cheaper than the regular lunch menu, so I decided to order the daily special. It was good, but I felt like it didn't have as much volume as the usual 300g hamburger. Next time, I might try ordering the 300g hamburger. The taste was a solid and meaty Japanese-style miso hamburger. Satisfied!

After visiting the grave, we had lunch at Kuni-san around 12:40. There is a parking lot available. The restaurant was crowded with customers. We ordered the cut steak and hamburger set, which comes with unlimited rice and salad. The hamburger was juicy and delicious. We also received a discount coupon for our next visit. Overall, we were satisfied with our meal.

On a rainy day, I was looking for a dinner restaurant. I remembered there was a steak restaurant on Kuramaebashi Street, so I decided to head there. And there it was, "Charcoal-grilled Steak Kuni Shin-Koiwa Store." The exterior looked big and like a steakhouse. I had been curious about it but never had the chance to visit before. On a rainy day... be careful of the entrance tiles, they can be a bit slippery. Upon entering, the interior was spacious. They also had a terrace, and it seems that BBQ is possible with a reservation. The seating was only at tables, which seemed suitable for business discussions. Oh, they offer a service for those using a taxi from the station. The atmosphere seemed quite upscale, which made me a bit cautious, haha. Looking at the menu, they had "Yonezawa Beef Fillet Steak, Order Cut, Reference Price 100g (6,100 yen)." Wow, it's a high-end place... but then I noticed they also had cut steaks. "Kuni Cut Steak & Beef Hamburger (2,530 yen)" where you can enjoy both steak and hamburger, which seemed just right. Side dishes like rice were ordered separately, so I asked for the "Rice & Soup & Salad Set (720 yen)" with the option to change the rice to "Garlic Rice (330 yen)." After about 5 minutes, the salad and soup arrived. The salad had 2 types of dressing, and you could ask for refills. Then, after another 3 minutes, the meat arrived. It sizzled on the hot plate, creating a nice atmosphere. The hamburger sauce was on the hot plate, and the hamburger had a crunchy texture with bits of cartilage. It seemed like they used some kind of binder. I poured the sauce over it and took a bite. The steak sauce was served separately in a pot. I added it and enjoyed the juicy meat. The meat varied in tenderness, some were soft while others had more chew. It seemed like different cuts from various parts of the meat. I adjusted the flavor by adding more steak sauce and continued eating. The garlic rice was served in a hot pot! They instructed to "mix and enjoy while hot," similar to how stone pot bibimbap is served. I mixed it, spread it out, and tried to create some crispy bits. Nearby, the chef was cutting the order. It's nice to see this kind of atmosphere when dining with others. It was a delightful meal. At the payment, I was able to use my d points. It's rare to find places where you can use them, so I found it interesting. The service voucher had the mark of "Pepper Food Service." I realized it was the original brand behind chain restaurants like Ikinari Steak. They offer similar services like order cuts, which was quite interesting.

I have visited the top-ranked branches of Ikinari Steak a few times. The restaurant is spacious and calm, making it a pleasant place to eat. The customer service and overall service are better than at Ikinari Steak. The salad is all-you-can-eat, with two types of dressing available. I personally liked the onion dressing. There are various steak options available, but I found the dinner menu to be slightly expensive in relation to the quality. However, the dishes are generally worth the price and delicious. The steak sauce was nothing special. The shrimp fry was delicious. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal!

Hi, it's Kuni. I moved here about 2 years ago. I had the sirloin steak. It was delicious! Easy to eat and just the right amount. I wanted to get a rice refill but I held back this time... Next time, I'll try the Japanese beef! It was a little after 11 am on Sunday, but more and more customers kept coming in, so I realized it's really popular. The energetic and smiling staff made the dining experience very pleasant, and I left feeling uplifted! I'll definitely go back again. :)

I enjoyed it normally. Reviews and evaluations are subjective. The photo was taken with an iPhone and is unedited. I personally think that the photo reflects the actual experience. Today's lunch special B: Naruo sirloin cut steak 120g, limited to 15 servings, with lunch set for 1430 yen. Lunch drink: Ginger ale for 170 yen.

I had a hamburger and a cut steak. The restaurant was fully packed and very busy, but the service was excellent and the meat was delicious. The prices were a bit high, but considering the quality and service, it was worth it. It's a Pepper Food chain restaurant, but with this customer-oriented style, I think it could compete with Ikinari Steak.

I wonder how many years it has been. My husband and I visited the store to boost our immune system. The interior has been completely renovated and is now bright and cheerful! My husband ordered the "Angus beef steak 300g", while I was originally there for the steak, but ended up being drawn to the oyster fry and ordered the "hamburger and oyster fry" along with the "tomato and avocado salad". The quality of the oysters was high and they were plump and delicious. The hamburger was a bit on the chewy side, being made of 100% beef, but my husband enjoyed it and finished it in no time. The staff were all very friendly and wore plastic masks for hygiene. We visited right after the 11:00 opening, and at first, the place was empty, but it quickly filled up with customers. Next time, I'll save up more money to try some even more expensive cuts of meat! (laughs)

Katsushika-ku Okudo is a shop located on the left side of Kuramae Hashidoori heading towards Chiba. This shop has been around for a long time, and many locals mention coming here since they were young. The shop is operated by Pepper Food Service, known for restaurants like Ikinari Steak. I ordered the Wild Hamburger (300g) for 1230 yen. The appearance and taste are similar to Ikinari Steak, which I like. In this price range, I often eat hamburgers, and I find this one quite delicious. Compared to Ikinari Steak, this place is easier to eat at. Having a parking lot is a plus! Thank you for the meal!

I visited "Steak Kuni Shin-Koiwa Store" located along Kuramae Hashi Street, around halfway between JR Shin-Koiwa Station and JR Koiwa Station. The restaurant has a dedicated parking lot that can accommodate more than 20 cars, so it is convenient for those driving. It has been over 15 years since my last visit. The interior of the restaurant has about 80 table seats. There are 3 staff members in the dining area, providing good service. The restaurant was about half full. I spent about 40 minutes there. After being seated by the window, I looked at the menu. The staff explained the daily lunch specials, and I ordered the A lunch set for 1050 yen plus tax. (It came with a hamburger topped with a fried egg, corn as a side dish, salad, soup, and rice.) The salad and soup were served in about 2 minutes, and the hamburger on the hot plate was served in about 10 minutes. The hamburger was slightly rare inside, with a sweet and flavorful taste. The rice was cooked perfectly and delicious. Considering the price and overall experience, this restaurant is above average. I would definitely like to visit again if I have the chance. Thank you for the meal.

Weekend is for meat! This is the next installment in the series. This time, not at Denny's, but here. It seems like there's a line, so we should go early. The bus was... The navigation kindly guided us through a weird route, taking a long detour. We arrived after 6 PM! What a letdown. We left early and everything... The restaurant was packed. Many families with large groups. Everyone was digging into their meat seriously... no, eating their meat silently and earnestly. Many people were enjoying wine as well. After waiting for about 15 minutes, we finally entered. It's the Yonezawa Beef Fair, so it's supposed to be quite a deal. But... it's over 3,000 yen for 100g... well, that's a bit too much, so we opted for the Wagyu steak and the Kirigirisu steak, both 200g, and the beer and ginger ale with a coupon. Soon, the chef came with the meat wagon to cut the meat we ordered. The Wagyu beef (so marbled) was cut boldly. The Kirigirisu's favorite fatty part was also cut (T.T) I'm going to eat this... The Wagyu steak seemed very healthy compared to the Wagyu beef. It had hardly any marbling (not that I'm disappointed). It looked like lean meat? This time, it was also pretty thick, but almost as it is. The chef was amazing. He weighed the meat. He came with the order for three people at once. The garnish was the same for all, glazed carrots, powdered potatoes, and sweet corn. There was a warm steak sauce in a pot. On the table, there was wasabi, grated garlic, salt, pepper, and soy sauce. The sizzling meat. Paper apron, ready to go. It felt like a real steak! It's been a while. Wow, let's eat some meat! Oh, it's like blowing a conch shell. Soft-shell crab was delicious too. The Wagyu beef was so rich (I even got half a bite from Jugo). I felt satisfied with the feeling of "I ate meat this week too" until the end. The bathroom was super clean. There were quite a few elderly people, but they all seemed happy eating their hamburgers and steaks. They all finished their meals without leaving anything behind. My late father also loved meat, so I wish I had brought him here. The people in line at the register all seemed satisfied and happy, so it's clear why this place is so popular. I received a voucher that can be used until next June and came back home. The service was good, and it's understandable why it's so popular. Next time, I'll bring my food-loving youngest daughter here. Thank you for the meal. Ah, I ate meat!

I occasionally come to this place for lunch because you can eat steak cheaply here. I ordered the Wild Lunch Steak, which is 300g. It comes with rice, salad, and soup. The meat is rare, but there are some slightly sinewy parts that give it a truly wild feel. It's great to be able to eat this quality of steak at this price.

I thought the daily lunch special B with tender red meat teppanyaki set including soup and salad was a good deal. However, I feel like the regular sirloin steak I always order is more tender. Next time, I think I will order the regular one.
