Let's go! Here comes Kintaro! Just a 3-minute walk from Takadanobaba Station, this restaurant is conveniently located underground. The atmosphere inside is lively and bright. And the best part is, all-you-can-eat and drink is only 3000 yen, which is amazing considering the wide variety of menu items! One dish that left a lasting impression on me was the "fried chicken skewers." Unlike the typical skewers, these are made with fried chicken, which is incredibly delicious. The perfect amount of salt and pepper makes it a great accompaniment to drinks. The chashu egg was also delicious, especially when mixed with the sauce. And of course, we couldn't resist ordering the Russian takoyaki, a fun surprise to see who gets the special one. The pan-fried dumplings were also tasty, with a variety of flavors to enjoy. The French toast dessert was quite sweet and filling, with chocolate and cream making it a luxurious treat. I highly recommend stopping by this restaurant. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Located in the basement of the office building under construction a little past the Waseda side from the Waseda exit of Takadanobaba Station, is the izakaya "Hitotaro". I visited for the second time for a second round on a weekday night after 9 pm because it was cheap. Unlike last time, it was very crowded. Almost everyone, except us, seemed to be students. The seats are a bit narrow, with around 20 table seats and almost full. We ordered the menu we wanted to eat as usual. <Main dishes ordered> ・Fried chicken skewers 109 yen per skewer ・Chashu egg 659 yen ・Stir-fried mushrooms and eggs 605 yen All of them were seasoned on the stronger side, perfect for drinking. I had a drink or two and didn't eat much, so I ended up spending a little over 1,000 yen per person, which was good because there were no table charges or seating fees, and it was cheap after all! I'm not confident in all-you-can-eat, so I'll try coming back for free again.

I went to a restaurant in Takadanobaba this time! The all-you-can-eat and drink course is only ¥2980, making it a great value for university students and working professionals. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was lively and everyone was having a great time. They offer a wide variety of food and drinks, so anyone can enjoy it. If you have the chance, please give it a try. I hope this information is helpful. If you found it useful, please give it a high rating and follow me for more updates! Thank you!

I went to a super cheap izakaya in Takadanobaba! All-you-can-eat and drink for 3,000 yen! What's the profit margin on that? The TKG and udon carbonara were delicious. We also tried the Russian takoyaki and got lucky with a spicy one! It had so much mustard in it, I cried from laughter. We didn't go for the all-you-can-eat option, but the portion size per dish is small, so I recommend it for those who can eat a lot. The menu changes a bit though. There were a lot of university students and even company drinking parties going on! Thank you for reading my review. I hope it helps you find some delicious food. Likes and comments are really encouraging for me!

From Takadanobaba Station, walk towards Waseda Street in the direction of Waseda, and before reaching Nichidatsu Espas, you will find a new izakaya called "Bakuan 99 Sakaba Kintaro! Takadanobaba Branch" located on the basement floor of Ise-Nami Building. There are several branches in Tokyo. The entrance is a bit hidden, with a colorful lantern decoration in the middle of the hallway and a staircase leading downstairs. I visited for the first time around 8 pm on a weekday. The place used to be a 300 yen kitchen. When you open the sliding door manually, you will see a row of table seats inside, with the place being half full. According to the staff, it was unusually empty that day. Smoking is allowed at the tables. There is no seating charge, and items like fried chicken skewers are priced at 99 yen (excluding tax), with all menu items ending in 9 yen. Drinks are also very affordable, mostly around 218 yen, and you can opt for a 2-hour all-you-can-drink option for 1,299 yen. There are also all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink courses available for under 2,999 yen, making it very reasonable. I planned to casually drink and eat, so I ordered individual dishes. <Ordered dishes> - Fried chicken skewers starting from 109 yen per skewer - Chashu Egg for 659 yen - Grilled dumplings for 329 yen - Potato fries for 439 yen - Miso meat-stuffed green peppers for 439 yen - Salt-grilled noodles for 659 yen The fried chicken skewers were exactly that, and I ordered 2 skewers, which had a rich flavor that paired well with alcohol, but they were a bit greasy, so ordering in lots of 10-20-30 skewers might be enough. The signature Chashu Egg dish consisted of thick slices of chashu and a half-boiled egg on bean sprouts, with a savory seasoning that made the chashu delicious and left me wanting more rice. The grilled dumplings and potato fries were safe choices, while the miso meat-stuffed green peppers featured spicy minced meat on raw green peppers. Although it lacked miso flavor, it was tasty. I ended with salt-grilled noodles, which had chewy flat noodles with plenty of pork belly, making it a satisfying dish that could even serve as a lunch. After enjoying the food and drinks for about an hour and a half, we decided to leave. The bill for two people was just under 4,000 yen, which was cheap! Credit cards are accepted for payment. They are usually open until 2 am and until 5 am on Friday nights, so it's okay to miss the last train. The dishes were freshly made, and I will definitely come back again.

When it comes to Takadanobaba, it's a town filled with cost-effective izakayas. And now, a new!? super cost-effective izakaya has appeared! Drinks are almost all ¥219, and you can enjoy dishes starting from ¥109 - what a divine price! Plus, there's no cover charge or seating fee!! This is sure to make not only nearby students happy, but people of all ages. And even at this price, the dishes are all quite delicious. The ¥109 fried chicken skewers are definitely addictive ♡ In addition to the fried chicken skewers for ¥109, 20 for ¥2178, there are other shareable menu items like Chashu Egg for ¥659, Russian Takoyaki for ¥659, Cheese Fries for ¥549, Pickled Cabbage Mentaiko Dumplings for ¥549, Quail Soy Sauce Pickles for ¥329, Shrimp Mayo for ¥659, Chorizo for ¥549, and more! Sharing these snacks with everyone is sure to liven up the atmosphere, especially with dishes like Russian Takoyaki! By the way, the big hit is... (ΦωΦ)ﾌﾌﾌ... it's a surprise once you win ( *´艸`). My friends even made it to dessert! Creme Brulee for ¥385, Chocolate French Toast for ¥605 - a little sweet treat is always nice. Even though sharing a la carte was quite affordable, the all-you-can-eat and drink option is incredibly cost-effective, and if it's not crowded, you can even go on the same day! Thank you for the meal.

This is my first time posting about a popular izakaya☆ It's nice to do it once in a while︎︎︎︎ And of course, my companion was my senior An-chan✨ They invited me to a cost-effective izakaya near Takadanobaba Station♬ It's all-you-can-eat and drink for less than 3000 yen, which is a great deal❣ There are plenty of food and drink options, so I had a hard time deciding what to order\(°Д° )/ The "Russian Roulette Takoyaki" is definitely a fun dish to share. The 50 yen fried chicken skewers are a steal even though they're not all-you-can-eat❤️ The shrimp mayo and cheese fries are delicious and a must-have. It seems like they are opening in various locations, so they might be featured on TV soon■ Business Hours: Mon-Sun, Holidays, Eve of Holidays 16:00-5:00 (Last order for food 4:00, last order for drinks 4:30, No scheduled holidays)■ Atmosphere: Mostly young customers, with occasional office workers like us. Takadanobaba has an image of being a student town, so the customer base reflects that■ Location & Access: About a 3-minute walk from Takadanobaba Station on various train lines. For Exit 4 of the subway, the entrance is right next to it, only 10 seconds away (lol). However, since it's underground, it's easy to miss the entrance!

This day, we had a girls' night out with 4 people. All-you-can-eat and drink for 2980 yen! So cheap! No cover charge! No reservation required for the 2-hour time limit! You can even walk in on the day itself! This time, we ordered a la carte. First, we tried the famous "Karaage Skewers" from Kintaro. It's not on the all-you-can-eat menu, but since it's a specialty, we decided to order it. It costs 99 yen per skewer, and you can order 10, 20, or 30 skewers. We ordered 30 skewers. They were so juicy and tender, not like regular karaage. The frying time is carefully controlled to prevent them from becoming too hard. They are bite-sized and perfect for elegant ladies. The items we ordered included Karaage Skewers, Chashu Egg, Honey Cream Cheese, Quail Eggs in Soy Sauce, Grated Yam with Wasabi, Buttered Edamame, Smoked Cheese, Cucumber Pickles, Shrimp Mayonnaise, Pickled Mustard Greens Gyoza, and Pizza Gyoza. The Chashu Egg is also a specialty at Kintaro. We couldn't resist ordering items labeled as specialties. The Honey Cream Cheese and Buttered Edamame are sure to please any girl. Cream cheese goes well with smoked cheese. Cucumber pickles are a refreshing palate cleanser. Many people may think that izakaya dishes are made by part-time workers, but the dishes here are made by professional chefs, so they are high-quality. It's great to be able to enjoy such dishes in an all-you-can-eat setting. They are open until 5 am, so it's okay even if you miss the last train!

Takadanobaba is known as a student town, so there are many cheap and delicious izakayas. The fried chicken priced at ¥109 for 30 pieces was served on one plate, each with 15 pieces. The chicken was not too big, more like yakitori size, and had a moist and not overly fried texture. It had a slightly spicy kick which went well with alcohol. The grated yam with wasabi and cucumber pickles were also of high quality, made fresh daily by the chef who seems to be a master of Japanese cuisine. The smoked cheese and edamame were delicious, and the gyoza came in various types and generous portions. The staff, who brought additional dishes, were eager to know if the food was good, and it was clear that it was not just regular staff but the chef himself. The green tea mixed with alcohol was well-balanced and popular among customers. The all-you-can-eat menu offered a wide variety of dishes, allowing customers to enjoy a filling and affordable dining experience. The restaurant was busy and everyone seemed to be having a good time, including myself.

I visited Kun Tarou! located in Takadanobaba! It's a great location just a 1-minute walk from Takadanobaba Station. They offer a variety of dishes like fried chicken skewers and chashu eggs, perfect for sharing with friends. The drinks are affordable and the overall cost performance is great. They also offer cheap all-you-can-drink and eat options. We started with a toast with a draft beer. You can order the fried chicken skewers by the number, so we went all out and ordered 30! They were crispy, tender, and slightly spicy, perfect with beer. We also tried the gyoza, which came in different flavors like pickled mustard greens and pizza gyoza. The other appetizers like smoked cheese and pickled cucumber were also delicious. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience at a wonderful restaurant. Thank you for the meal! ✌️

In terms of cost performance, the taste is pretty good. The regular izakaya dishes like potato, octopus tempura, and quail eggs are delicious. The octopus is slightly oily but apparently made by a chef, not a part-timer. They serve pickles daily. The shot sizes are too small for the price of 399 yen, which is not cost-effective. Sapporo draft beer is cheap. They often make mistakes with orders. The all-you-can-eat potato with appetizers for around 2000 yen is a bit expensive for snacks, but if you want to drink a lot with friends or colleagues, it's pretty good.
