We wanted to eat Genghis Khan (Mongolian barbecue) with colleagues, so we went to a Genghis Khan specialty restaurant. The food was delicious with no strong flavors, and we could eat a lot without feeling any gamey taste. The menu only had lamb meat, so I wished there were some different options as well. Eating became the main focus rather than drinking, and my Genghis Khan craving was completely satisfied. If you want to eat Genghis Khan in Ikebukuro, this place is highly recommended.

I went to the Hanare branch of Rakutarou at Ikebukuro Nishiguchi. It was in the evening on a weekday, but I was able to get in without a reservation. The interior has one table for four people and the rest is just counter seating. It's much more compact compared to the main branch. They offer all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink Genghis Khan for 3980 yen. You can enjoy lamb loin, lamb shoulder, lamb heart, lamb liver, lamb sausage, bean sprouts, and vegetables. The time limit is 90 minutes with the last order at 70 minutes. The lamb meat is easy to eat without any strong odor. The liver and heart were also mild and easy to eat compared to beef. Even after eating and drinking to your heart's content, the cost is less than 9000 yen for two people, making it very cost-effective!

There are many famous Genghis Khan (Mongolian barbecue) restaurants in Ikebukuro, and one of them is Rakutarou's second branch. While the main branch is always crowded, it is relatively easy to make a reservation at this branch. The interior is also cleaner than the main branch. The best option at Rakutarou is the all-you-can-eat course. You can choose between 90 minutes or 120 minutes. You can enjoy all-you-can-eat lamb meat, vegetables, rice, and most of the drink menu is also all-you-can-drink, making it a much better deal than ordering items individually. Rakutarou offers rare parts of lamb such as heart and liver. The shoulder loin is incredibly fresh, tender, and free of any unpleasant smell. I was so focused on eating that I didn't take many photos today, but this restaurant is definitely great value for money. I will definitely come back!

When staying in Ikebukuro, I usually go to a Genghis Khan restaurant alone. This time, I went to a different place called "Rakutarou Hanare" ☺️ The system here is to order a set at the beginning and then order whatever you like afterwards ☺️ However, it seems that ordering a course meal for two or more people is the mainstream. First, I ordered the shoulder loin and vegetable set with a highball, and then some extra meat ☺️ I also ordered the rare lamb rack and lamb sausage, as well as black Hoppy ☺️ The meat is so fresh that there is no smell at all. And it's so chewy, there's no better treat with high protein and low fat. It would be great if they opened one in Kako River ☺️ Very satisfied.

I have been to this restaurant and its branch over 10 times! If you want to eat Genghis Khan in Ikebukuro, you should come here first!! The course menu is a great deal and you will leave feeling full! The unique smell of Genghis Khan is minimal, and the vegetables go well with the sauce making the beer go down smoothly! There are few staff members, so it may take some time to order, but other than that, it's excellent!

I visited Rakutarou, a completely non-smoking restaurant, because I assumed that the nearby Genghis Khan restaurants would have smokers. It had been years since I last had Genghis Khan, and I was incredibly impressed by how delicious it was. I was worried about the smoke and smell sticking to my clothes, but when I got home, I realized that the smell was not noticeable at all, so I could enjoy the meal without worrying about the smell. The restaurant starts getting crowded around 7 pm, and when I visited on a Friday, it was fully booked, so I recommend making a reservation if you plan to visit.

If you're looking for cheap and delicious food in Ikebukuro, this place is highly recommended. Both the taste and cost performance are top-notch in Ikebukuro. It's a smoky restaurant, so the atmosphere is not for everyone, but it's great for casual meals or drinks with close friends. The high-quality lamb meat and fresh vegetables soaked in the meat's delicious flavor are the highlights. Mongolian barbecue is a simple dish where the quality of the ingredients is crucial, and this place exceeds its price point. The depth and aroma of the high-quality lamb meat are delightful, with no unpleasant taste and a touch of elegance. You won't find this level of quality at this price range. Highly recommended!

The taste is average, but the customer service is so bad that it ruins the experience. I won't go into details, but you can check Google reviews for more information. I ordered a la carte, but the all-you-can-eat option would probably be a better deal. Oh well, that's how it goes. But if it's not worth it, then no way I'm going back. It's crowded and small, but maybe the main branch is better.

Genghis Khan is available near the company! All-you-can-eat and drink at a great cost performance! The quality of the meat is top-notch. The main store near the station is always crowded, so I recommend this place instead. It's the type of place where you grill meat yourself and drink a lot. I won't say it's as good as Daruma in Hokkaido, but you might end up ordering more onions! The quality is guaranteed, so I highly recommend this restaurant!!

I visited the stylish version of Genghis Khan Rakutarou in Ikebukuro on a Saturday night. The first floor has a white wooden counter, and the second floor has table seats, creating a clean and welcoming atmosphere where even women can enjoy their meal comfortably. The menu offers a variety of cuts, including raw lamb, similar to other Rakutarou branches. Thank you for the delicious meal.

One of the best Genghis Khan (Mongolian barbecue) restaurants in Tokyo. I have been here many times and the meat is always delicious, with no strong taste and goes well with both salt and sauce. The atmosphere at Hanare is sophisticated and calm, different from the main store in front of the station. They have a great selection of highballs. The fire on the shichirin grill was kept low, probably to reduce smoke, but I personally prefer a smokier and higher heat experience. I ordered the set with additional meat and a three-variety vegetable platter (lamb tongue salt, shoulder, thigh), beef toro rice, kimchi, and highball.

This time, my family of four visited the restaurant. It was a Saturday when Tokyo's self-restraint request had reached Stage 3, with dining establishments closing at midnight. We decided to have dinner at "Genghis Khan Rakutarou Hanare." It's about 3-4 minutes from Ikebukuro Station's West Exit, coming out of the C6 exit of the underground passageway. It's on the left side, just off Yomemachi Street, across from "Sobasuke." While the all-you-can-eat option seemed tempting, we opted for individual orders as it only included shoulder loin meat. The shoulder loin, sausages, and vegetables were sizzling on the grill, along with a bone-in lamb rack that we couldn't resist. We also enjoyed sides like lamb tongue salt, garlic, and kimchi. The bill was slightly higher than the all-you-can-eat option, but we felt it was worth it. Whether you're looking to fill up on shoulder loin or try a variety of dishes, this place offers good value. It was a satisfying meal of Genghis Khan after a long time. Thank you for the feast!

This time I tried Genghis Khan at Rakutarou Hanare. I have been there a few times! When it comes to eating Genghis Khan in Tokyo, Rakutarou is the only choice for me! I was born in Hokkaido where sheep often appeared on the dining table. So it's not that I know the taste, but I just really like Genghis Khan! The Rakutarou near the station is where I often go, but the air conditioning system is not well-maintained, so I always end up sweating while eating (laughs). However, since the Hanare section was opened, I can now enjoy delicious Genghis Khan in a much more comfortable environment!! It's cool! Among them, the lamb shoulder is exquisite!! It takes some time to cook, and there is a waiting time, but the happiness of biting into it is indescribable (●´ϖ`●). It has no unpleasant smell, and the fresh lamb meat is highly recommended! Thanks for the delicious meal once again♪

It was really delicious!! I love Genghis Khan! This time I sat at the counter (＾ ͜ ＾) It was less crowded than before, maybe due to the influence of Corona! (I made a reservation before going) The salt Genghis Khan was sooo good ♥ It melts in your mouth ♥

Genghis Khan restaurant near Ikebukuro West Exit. I was invited by a friend to have a meal in Ikebukuro and decided to visit Genghis Khan Rakutaro for the first time. I have tried the one in the North Exit a few times but never got in. The all-you-can-eat option is famous, but my friend advised against it, so I followed suit haha - First Genghis Khan set: 880 yen Shoulder loin lamb and bean sprouts set. A standard set. Surprisingly, the shoulder loin was fresh and delicious, with no gamey taste. The meat was really tasty. - Lamb rack: 780 yen More flavorful than the shoulder loin. Quite excellent in terms of lean meat. You can keep eating this meat endlessly. - Lamb shoulder: 720 yen A large lamb shoulder. It looks fun from the appearance. This one has a bit of a smell, but personally, it's an appetizing smell. When eaten hot, the fat melts and it becomes incredibly delicious. - Salt Genghis Khan: 880 yen Recommended by the staff, but the salt flavor is a bit too strong. Without this, the restaurant would have been excellent haha. Originally, they said the three dishes (shoulder loin, lamb rack, lamb shoulder) were delicious, and I agree. Considering the cost performance, I think it's a pretty good restaurant. Also, I can't eat that much even with all-you-can-eat... I left before it got too crowded inside. It was delicious.

I wanted to try the lamb Genghis Khan and visited this restaurant. I mistakenly thought it was an all-you-can-eat menu only, but it turned out we could choose whether to have all-you-can-eat or not. There were 7 of us and we chose the 120-minute all-you-can-eat option for 4,200 yen. Surprisingly, this also included all-you-can-drink! We could enjoy not only meat and vegetables but also rice. However, on this day, all 7 of us just focused on eating the meat. The lamb had no gamey taste and was tender. The all-you-can-eat meat included two types: loin and shoulder, as well as sausages. The vegetables cooked in the meat juices were also delicious, and we kept getting refills. Eating until we were full and drinking as much as we wanted at this price was too good of a deal. Next time, I want to go try parts that are not included in the all-you-can-eat menu.

I apologize for not being able to take photos. I went out for drinks in Ikebukuro for a company gathering. We visited a place in the west exit that offers all-you-can-drink options. For 4000 yen, you can enjoy all-you-can-eat Genghis Khan (Mongolian barbecue) along with beer, highballs, and chu-hi drinks. The quality of the meat is quite good, especially the lamb which is tender and has no gamey taste. It's a great deal for the price. If you want to drink and eat without worrying about money in Ikebukuro, this place is a strong contender.

I didn't like Genghis Khan (grilled lamb) before, but after eating it here, I started to like it! I haven't tried it at other restaurants yet (lol). It's not smelly and really delicious! It can be hard to get the attention of the staff, so I recommend ordering drinks early! They also bring the food out a bit slowly (lol) but that's because the restaurant is always busy! ✩

Today, I came to this restaurant with the intention of eating Genghis Khan barbecue to my heart's content. It was around 4200 yen for a 120-minute all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink deal. I forgot the exact price because I was so focused on eating. You can choose from two types of meat, and sausages and vegetables are also included. If memory serves me right, in the past, you could also choose one appetizer, but now there are only four options. There is a decent selection of drinks for all-you-can-drink. The quality of the meat is tender and delicious! The main branch is smoky and crowded, but this branch is relatively quiet and not smoky.

I love sheep and always have them in my freezer. The reason I don't go is because the smell outside the main store is strong and the counter is small. This time, I came to a different location. I made a same-day reservation and the person who seemed like the manager was kind and helpful. When I arrived, it was indeed the manager. I might have a bias against all-you-can-eat restaurants, but the staff there tend to be a bit sloppy. However, here they were polite. First, they cook the lamb and vegetables for you. I ordered my favorite drink. I wait for it to cook with a sizzling sound. Even if it's a bit rare, I take a bite. Oh no. It's delicious. I order more drinks and more lamb. It's easy to eat without any strong flavors. I ate until I was full, drank some more, and although my clothes smelled, I left satisfied.
