I was able to enjoy an affordable all-you-can-eat lunch. First, Samgyupsal is a popular Korean dish made from a fatty part of pork. Thick slices of meat were provided, and you could grill them yourself at the table. Samgyupsal is known for its juicy fat and savory flavor, and you can wrap it with vegetables and sauces provided. Additionally, Korean chicken was also available, seasoned with spicy sauce and crispy texture. There were multiple options for all-you-can-eat lunch, including a variety of side dishes. You could enjoy different flavors and varieties, with the freedom to choose in the all-you-can-eat style.

The interior of the restaurant was designed like a train and it was cute. The all-you-can-eat option was only 3000 yen and it was delicious. Next time, I want to try the hot pot. Also, K-POP music videos were playing in the restaurant, so fans can enjoy themselves.

The inside of the restaurant is elaborately designed like a train. The clientele is mostly in their 10s to 20s, but families with children can also enjoy it. The main dishes include meat and side dishes that are refillable. The buffet table offers sushi, fried chicken, salad, tteokbokki, and other side dishes and rice. There are also many non-spicy options for children to enjoy with the family.

Cheap and delicious! I ordered the raw samgyupsal as my main dish. It was not only delicious but also refillable, making it perfect for lunch. With options like jeon, kimbap, and chicken also being all-you-can-eat, I quickly got full and ended up with extra time. They even give out souvenirs when you leave, so I highly recommend it.

Points: ☑️ Colorful Korean vehicles make up the entire interior, which is the main feature! And above all, the pot shaped like a chick has a huge impact! ◆ Features of the store ✅ There is an all-you-can-eat option. Lunch has a food bar (with a dedicated space)! Dinner is an order-style all-you-can-eat, where you can enjoy many representative delicious Korean dishes! There are 90-minute and 120-minute options! ◆ Special menu ✅ For dinner only, there is the "Black Magma Chicken" shaped in all black! Location: Within a 1-minute walk from Shin-Okubo Station Tokyo, Shinjuku-ku, Hyakunincho 2-3-20 3F ❣️ Business hours: 11:00-23:00 (open all year round) Atmosphere: The vivid interior design makes you feel like you've traveled to Busan, Korea. The train-themed doors and seat structures are cute. The two-layered red and white interior, along with orange seats, create a bright and cheerful atmosphere that uplifts your mood even before you start eating. ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ Opted for the "Lunch Buffet" (90 minutes, 2178 yen) this time. *For 120 minutes, it's 2480 yen! ⚠️ Last order for lunch is at 14:45! *Choose one main dish (approximately 6 options)! This time I chose the "Fluffy Chewy Samgyeopsal." ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ Impressions and thoughts: The fluffy cotton candy with the colorful chicken peeking out from underneath, along with the cute chicks on both sides, look incredibly adorable. It's as if they are floating on clouds! The bottom part with the magma-like red soup looks very spicy and appealing to spicy food lovers. The staff pours the soup evenly over the cotton candy, making it perfect for capturing on video. The side dishes at the food bar include various Korean dishes like jeon, chicken (in yangnyeom, honey, and cheese flavors), japchae, tteokbokki, fried potatoes, sushi, and more. The combination of Japanese and Korean dishes is impressive, and the quality of each dish is high. The soup is spicy, but the addictive spiciness makes it hard to resist. With noodles, bean sprouts, large pork slices, sausages, and vegetables, it's a satisfying meal with a good balance of flavors. The noodles absorb the soup, enhancing their texture, and the generous portion of ingredients like vegetables helps reduce the spiciness with water content. The side dishes are of high quality for a buffet, especially the chicken with its crispy texture and authentic seasoning, providing a high level of satisfaction. The drink bar offers a variety of options, allowing you to enjoy a wide selection of drinks, which is delightful.

On Saturday, I went to "Soon to Busan Station" as selected by a friend who wanted to eat Korean food! We arrived without having to wait in line, maybe because it was past lunchtime! There were also high school girls in uniforms. You can choose a main dish from options 1 to 6, with unlimited refills available, as well as access to the food bar and free-flow soft drinks. We requested 90 minutes dining time, which cost 2178 yen per person including tax. We got an extra 10 minutes by following them on Instagram, which turned out to be just right. For an additional 500 yen, you can extend the time to 120 minutes. They also have a "clean plate campaign" where if you finish your meal and show them the card at the end, you can receive a free dish per person. This was my first time hearing about such a campaign at an all-you-can-eat restaurant, and I thought it was a great idea to encourage people to appreciate food and also receive Korean souvenirs. - Fluffy Tteokbokki Samgyeopsal (Main Dish): A nest-like cotton candy topped with chicken, boiled quail eggs, and quail eggs. It was so cute that we took pictures. The staff cooked it in front of us using a portable stove and poured soup over it. It was nice to have it freshly cooked while enjoying the food at the bar. It was spicier than I expected, but it was a good challenge to improve my tolerance for spicy food. It contained bean sprouts, carrots, green onions, onions, and large pieces of pork. We asked for a refill, and they mentioned that the refill portion is slightly smaller, which turned out to be just right for us. - Food Bar: Included various dishes like Tteokbokki, Seafood Japchae, Sweet and Spicy Tteokbokki, Fried Chicken, Yangnyeom Chicken, Cheese Butter Chicken, Honey Butter Chicken, Potato Fries, Fried Salad, Nori Rolls, Sushi, Kimchi Pancake, and more. The chicken pieces were large and delicious, with a crispy coating and tender meat. The Tteokbokki was chewy and flavorful, and the Cheese Pancake was generously filled with cheese. - Drink Bar: They had two drink stations with a large glass dispenser and a typical drink server found in family restaurants. They offered Corn Silk Tea and Pear Juice, which were refreshing and flavorful. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience with delicious food, a cute train-themed interior, and the opportunity to enjoy Korean snacks as souvenirs. The staff were friendly and the service was great. I received a Korean canned juice as a souvenir, while my friend got a face mask. It was a delightful meal!

[Lunch] 90 minutes for 1780 yen (tax included 1958 yen) All-you-can-eat Korean cuisine and all-you-can-drink soft drinks. The main dish was the Cheese Tteokbokki (with options to add more Tteokbokki or cheese). The buffet had a variety of side dishes, but the main dish portion was surprisingly large! Just that alone was filling, but you could also get refills on the main dish. I went with my child and we enjoyed the non-spicy options like bean sprout namul, jeon, and seaweed rolls. It was nice to see that the drink bar also had soup. The interior was designed like a train, and the view outside was right next to the Yamanote Line, which was great. It really made you feel like you were on a train! I ended up feeling extremely full. People who want to enjoy eating and snacking in Shin-Okubo should take note.

I went looking for an all-you-can-eat Samgyeopsal place..♡ I didn't make a reservation, but luckily there was an available seat and I could easily get in! The interior was super cute and very Instagrammable~✨ I took a lot of photos◎ Besides Samgyeopsal, they also had options like Jjim and Kimbap, as well as Yangnyeom Chicken, which are like representative Korean dishes, all available for all-you-can-eat. I'll definitely go back again⭐︎

Soon to Busan Station @Shin-Okubo Lunch around 2,000-3,000 yen per person I decided to have lunch in Shin-Okubo and found this restaurant on Instagram, so I decided to give it a try. The lunch is 1,980 yen (+tax) for 90 minutes of all-you-can-eat Korean cuisine and all-you-can-drink soft drinks, which is quite cheap. I chose the Chuksimi Samgyupsal as my main dish! Fluffy cotton candy was placed on top of the pot upon arrival! The egg, which seemed to be inspired by a chicken and chick, sank due to its weight lol. The all-you-can-eat menu includes various items like Jeon, Tteokbokki, Kimchi, and chicken dishes, offering a wide variety of choices! Also, the Yangnyeom Chicken was delicious. I recommend this place to those who want to have a cost-effective Korean cuisine lunch!

My reviews are mainly for my own record, so they are simple impressions. I am not a gourmet, so I don't go into detail about the taste. I don't pay attention to the staff's attitude or the restroom. Sometimes my reviews can be long, so feel free to skip them. The star ratings are just rough guidelines. ☆→Never want to go again ☆☆→Wouldn't recommend to others, but rarely happens. If it does, it means I had some unpleasant experience. I can't provide details as my reviews have been deleted before for that reason. Ratings without reasons might be scary for those who rely on them for reference, but oh well. ☆☆☆→It was delicious, thank you ☆☆☆☆→Would love to go again if I have the chance ☆☆☆☆☆→Definitely want to come back! I enjoy exploring new restaurants and don't become a regular, so I don't give 5 stars easily. Date: 11/2021 Weekday 11:00 2 people Lunch Used my friend and I went to Shin-Okubo on a weekday because we can't handle the weekend crowds anymore. We made a reservation for this restaurant that we were both curious about at the opening time of 11:00. It's right by the station, really close. Turn left at Hoicha and it's on the 3rd floor of the building across from Macapresso. There seems to be quite popular, but we were the only ones to enter at 11:00. However, a few more groups arrived later. There were also some walk-in customers without reservations. But since you can make a reservation, I think it's better to do so. We were seated by the window, so we could see the trains passing by, which was fun. The interior of the restaurant is designed to look like a train car, which was interesting. It made me wonder if real train cars are like this. The restaurant isn't very spacious, but there are a fair number of seats. The food bar was smaller than I expected, so it can be a bit of a hassle if you bump into others. Here, when you order a main dish, you can also use the food bar and drink bar for 90 minutes for 1980 yen (including tax 2,178 yen). There's also a 120-minute option. Although it's a different restaurant, I was curious about Nakkopse that I saw on TV before, so I chose that as the main dish. When it arrived, there was fluffy cotton candy on top of the pot, with a chicken and a chick on top. So cute. The staff asked if we were ready for the video - pouring the soup over the pot melts the cotton candy. It was fleeting. After the cotton candy melted, both the chicken and the chick fell over, which made me feel a bit sorry for them, haha. The pot itself was small, but with the food bar, it was still quite filling. Nakkopse is a hot pot with shrimp, hormone, and octopus, as well as bean sprouts, onions, carrots, and tteokbokki. We were planning to have tobokke charhan as a finisher, but it was impossible, haha. You can also have seconds for the main dish, so if you're still hungry, go for it. The hot pot itself wasn't that spicy. The kimchi served in advance was very spicy, though... delicious but spicy. The food bar offered us two types of jeon, two types of chicken, japchae, and salad. The regular jeon was much tastier than the cheese one. Crispy. I tried the honey butter and cheese butter flavored chicken. Both were delicious and crispy. Overall, including japchae, everything seemed a bit oily. In the midst of that, the pear juice from the drink bar did a great job. It eased the spiciness and oiliness. I usually don't drink water, but I had three refills of it. It had grated fruit pulp in it and was delicious. The staff explained the menu to us at the beginning and regularly disinfected the drink bar, which left a good impression. The coupon they gave us after paying was also cute, like a train ticket. Thank you for the meal. Lunch tour blog: https://profile.ameba.jp/ameba/jamuuunn

The seafood and hormone-rich nakkopse with Korean cuisine buffet were delicious! Especially the jeon and chicken were tasty! The interior design inspired by a train station is cute, and the concept is well thought out. I also received a discount ticket in the form of a train ticket for my next visit. It's a great place to make memories!

I visited "Soon to be Busan Station," which opened right near Shin-Okubo Station. It's on the 3rd floor of the building across from Macapresso, next to Yop's chicken shop. The interior is designed like a train, with window seats making you feel like you're on a train. The menu consists of a main dish, buffet, and drink bar. Lunch is 90 minutes for 1980 yen/120 minutes for 2480 yen, dinner is 90 minutes for 2480 yen/120 minutes for 2980 yen, excluding tax. Alcohol all-you-can-drink is currently suspended. The main dishes include various options like Jukmi Samgyupsal, Nakgopse, Bulgogi, Budae Jjigae, Sanggyupsal, and Cheese Dakgalbi. I chose Nakgopse, a sweet and spicy hot pot with octopus and shrimp. The buffet includes various items like pancakes, japchae, tteokbokki, chicken (fried, spicy, cheese butter, honey butter), french fries, fried dumplings, 3 kinds of kimbap, shrimp and salmon sushi, etc. Drinks include dispenser-style options like cola and ginger ale, as well as pear juice and barley tea. Kimchi, rice, fried rice set, etc. are ordered separately (all-you-can-eat). The buffet area was clean and well-maintained, with gloves and masks provided for hygiene. I recommend making a reservation as it gets crowded quickly. Overall, the service, taste, and quality were average. It's a place that might be worth visiting once, but not necessarily a standout place for photos or videos.

The interior of the restaurant was very cute. I found it on Instagram and decided to go with my friends. The inside of the shop was designed to look like the inside of a train with the name "Busan Station" written on it, which made me very excited. When we ordered the hot pot dishes, they came with chicks on top of cotton candy, adding a cute touch to the menu. Moreover, it was an all-you-can-eat style, like a buffet, so you could take and eat as much as you like. In addition to Korean food, they also had sushi.

I went to a newly opened store that caught my eye on Instagram last month! The interior of the store is designed to resemble a train and it's so cute♡ The names of the stations in Busan are scattered throughout the store, making me want to visit Busan... For lunch, you can enjoy all-you-can-eat Korean main dishes + food bar + all-you-can-drink soft drinks for 90 minutes for 1,980 yen + tax! The cost performance is good~ For the main dishes, you can choose one from Chukmisamgyupsal, Nakkopse, Bulgogi, Budaejjigae, raw samgyupsal, and cheese dakgalbi. I was torn between raw samgyupsal and something I haven't tried before, Chukmi, but I decided to challenge myself with Chukmi because I could always escape to the food bar if needed haha. The food bar had various items like jeon, japchae, tteokbokki, chicken (fried, yangnyeom, cheese butter, honey butter), potato fries, fried foods (gyoza), kimbap (vegetable, cheese, ham), shrimp sushi, and salmon sushi! The salmon in the salmon sushi was so small that it made me laugh, so please take a look at it. It's a tiny piece of salmon haha. The drink bar had carbonated drinks and also corn silk tea and pear juice! I was happy to see pear juice♡ Even if you only take one item from the food bar at a time, it adds up so even those with small appetites will feel full quickly. The Chukmi didn't taste that great to me, maybe because I'm not a big fan of octopus. But they had cotton candy for that Instagrammable touch. As for the food bar menu, well... it's buffet quality! (You know what I mean) The food bar required wearing masks and vinyl gloves, so I could see that they were taking COVID precautions. Honestly, if you're going for the food bar, there are other places with tastier chicken and kimbap, so I might go there instead. But the interior is cute and it gets you excited, so it might be worth a visit at least once.

The atmosphere inside the store was cute, like a toy. I tried the chukumi, but it was not to my liking. The side menu was all-you-can-eat, and I had tornado potatoes, but they were disappointingly soggy.

The staff at the restaurant were very friendly and nice. We were guided to a window seat as per our reservation and were able to relax and unwind.

I chose the Chukumi Samgyeopsal as my main dish. The amount of octopus was amazing... The all-you-can-eat options were so plentiful and delicious that I was completely satisfied just with that. The Cheese Jeon was the best! :)

The concept is interesting and fun. Everything besides the main dish is all-you-can-eat. There are various options and it was enjoyable. I recommend the fried rice as a perfect ending.
