I visited a delicious full-service yakiniku restaurant in Ikebukuro, which has branches at both the west and east exits. This time, I went to the east exit branch. I was able to make a same-day reservation by calling in the evening. They cook all the meat for you, so you can just relax and enjoy. The kimchi with grated yam was a nice touch! The meat was all delicious and there was a wide variety, so it's better to visit with a few people to try different options. We even ordered three different dishes for the finale. The staff was quick and attentive, and they even split the dishes into small plates for a friend who arrived late. It was a very enjoyable yakiniku experience. It's easy to make a reservation and the location is convenient from the station. It was delicious, thank you for the meal! 🍖

All the meats are tender and delicious. I recommend eating them rare. The staff will cook for you, and the service is polite. The restaurant is spacious with a good atmosphere, and the seats are not crowded together. They also change the grill frequently, so you can eat with peace of mind.

Farewell party used. Private room for 6-7 people. Signed by Kiyohara on the wall. There are 6 types of kimchi, and the salad is a bit unusual. I wish they also had regular Choeregisalad. As for the main meat dishes, they range from 2000 to 3000 yen per plate, and the taste matches the price, but the staff grilling the meat adds value, making it cost-effective. The rice dishes at the end were also delicious.

I made a reservation a few weeks ago. The staff grill all the meat for you and change the grill every time. The taste is delicious, especially the sirloin which is recommended and really tasty. However, it seems like they don't put much effort into customer service.

Extreme Hormone x2, Top Loin, Top Kalbi, Liver, Top Tongue, Pork Toro, Beef Tendon Stew, Cheek Meat Soup. The Kimchi soup is always different here, and this time it had a mysterious creamy taste. Try it with long yam kimchi. It was an interesting soup. As always, the food is delicious and reliable. This restaurant is easy to use. A must-order is the Extreme Hormone and stew.

I visited the restaurant around 8 pm on a regular day. The place was almost full, so I had to wait for about 5 minutes before being seated. The interior was clean and the seating was spacious. I tried various drinks and dishes from the menu. The drinks were typical for a yakiniku restaurant and the prices were average to slightly higher. They had two types of makgeolli as well. The food was not just yakiniku, but they also had a variety of side dishes. The kimchi platter had 6 different types including tomato, which was interesting. The wagyu sushi was delicious and melted in my mouth. The seared yukhoe was rich and tasty, and the beef yukhoe with roast beef was flavorful, making me crave for rice. I ordered tongue salt and kalbi loin, and they were all delicious. The staff cooked all the meat for us, ensuring the best way to enjoy it. They mentioned that they had training on how to cook the meat perfectly. I also ordered kimbap, but the rice was too soft for my liking. The regular rice, on the other hand, was delicious with a nice texture. The meat was great, and the staff cooked it to perfection, making the whole dining experience enjoyable. With a variety of side dishes to choose from, the prices may not be cheap, but it's worth it for a nice treat once in a while.

Thank you for reading this article. Likes and comments are encouraging. I will continue to update a lot, so I would be grateful if you could save or follow. The fugu restaurant staff cooked a delicious meal for me.

You should definitely try the "Kamenoko" noodles here. The grilled red meat of the turtle is delicious, full of flavor. The thickly sliced beef tongue is also very tasty. The staff will cook it for you, which is very helpful.

Personally, I'm not a fan of yakiniku because I find it troublesome to cook it myself. But I love teppanyaki because professionals cook the ingredients perfectly. I decided to try this place because it had a good reputation for delicious food cooked by professionals. I ordered the Special Tongue Salt (3190 yen), thick-cut Wagyu Harami (2310 yen), and Tiger's Makgeolli (2970 yen). The Tongue Salt with wasabi was incredibly delicious. The Harami was also very tasty. The only downside was the attitude of the staff when I entered the restaurant. Well, they probably didn't make much profit seating a single customer at a table for six people.

An affordable restaurant where you can enjoy a just-right amount of yakiniku course. The staff will grill the meat for you, so you can relax and enjoy conversation while savoring delicious freshly grilled meat. There are private rooms available for a more leisurely experience, but the quality of service from the staff may vary.

I was able to enter without a reservation because I went at 5:00 PM. There is a 2-hour seating limit. It's a restaurant where the staff grills the meat for you. I ordered the premium kalbi and meat sushi. The premium kalbi is very tender and melts in your mouth. The meat sushi was recommended to eat with wasabi, but personally, I prefer it as it is. It's located about a 4-5 minute walk from Ikebukuro East Exit, and the cost performance is quite good.

I think it's a convenient shop located about a 5-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station East Exit. There are many staff members, and their voices chatting loudly can be heard. The best part here was the beef tongue. We watched closely as the employees grilled it and plated it for us (laughs). It had a good texture and was very delicious. Lastly, we received a plum-flavored candy, which was also delicious.

I started coming here about 3 months ago and it was delicious, so I came back again. I forgot to take a picture, but we had salad, a platter of 3 types of kimchi, yam kimchi, liver, top tongue salt, harami, male kalbi, loin, premium hormone, and finished with tantan noodles. It was delicious and I was completely full. I want to go back to this restaurant regularly. By the way, the staff will cook the meat for you. It's also great that they have my favorite drink, Yonedaishiroku!

After a long time, I went to this restaurant where my acquaintance often goes for yakiniku. The meat is grilled by the staff. The thick-cut tongue had a satisfying texture. The male kalbi was thick like a steak, very delicious with a lot of bite. The top sirloin was sweet and melted in the mouth, also very tasty. The premium hormone didn't have any particular standout feature. The yukkejang soup had plenty of ingredients and a moderate spiciness, very delicious. As a finishing touch, we shared a half portion of tantanmen noodles, which had just the right amount of spiciness and was delicious. We drank about 5 cups each, and the total bill was around 22,000 yen. Considering the quality of the meat, I think it's worth the cost. I will definitely come back again.

Ikebukuro's famous restaurant "Kuro 5" is just a few minutes' walk from Ikebukuro Station, through a back alley towards the hotel district. As soon as I arrived and mentioned my reservation, I was guided to a spacious sofa seat! I have been coming to Kuro 5 for over 15 years now. I sat down and was handed a hot towel by the staff, and at that moment, I ordered a draft beer, kimchi platter, and salad! After a few minutes of waiting, the beer arrived and I toasted to a great start! The kimchi platter and salad kept coming. I ordered the usual favorites - tongue, kalbi, harami, and loin. Everything at Kuro 5 is delicious! For dessert, I had cold noodles - a refreshing soup with chewy noodles. It was a truly satisfying experience. I will definitely be back again. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

When it comes to yakiniku in Ikebukuro, it has to be Kuro 5! They have locations in both the west and east, so I go to whichever is more convenient for me. I even go once a month sometimes. All the meat is cooked by the staff, who pay close attention to the pace of each customer. It's great to see a yakiniku restaurant that is so attentive. If you want to take your time chatting, you can also cook the meat yourself after declining their service. The quality of the meat is really good and tasty. I've tried various yakiniku places in Tokyo, but I keep coming back to Kuro 5 for their taste and cost performance. The mixed rice is a must-try, but it takes some time to cook, so it's best to order it at the beginning and enjoy it as the perfect finish to your meal!

The staff grills all the meat perfectly, so you can enjoy it in the best condition! We ordered tongue, kalbi, hormone, negi-loin, harami, tongue salt, meat sushi, seared yukhoe, changja, and kimchi with yam, along with some drinks. We were able to eat all of this for just under 10,000 yen per person. The harami was amazing, very refreshing! The tongue had a strong flavor, delicious but a bit hard to chew. The negi-loin looked beautiful! The seared yukhoe was sweet and melted in your mouth, perfect with the egg. The kimchi with yam was the best, I wanted to take some home! The restaurant had mostly male customers, and there were many staff members so we could order quickly and our food and drinks arrived promptly. However, they asked us to move tables because the next reservation had arrived. Some people were wearing masks, and this place is not suitable for those looking for things other than meat. But the meat was amazing! (Especially the kimchi with yam!)

Today, I visited Yakiniku Stadium in Ikebukuro East Exit, specifically the Kuro 5 branch. We reserved the "Enjoyment Course ¥5,500 per person x 5" and it was a fantastic experience. The round private table had one grill, and the staff expertly grilled the meat for each of us. The charcoal grill provided the perfect heat, resulting in perfectly cooked meat every time. The staff was friendly and engaging, making the meal even more enjoyable. The meat was cut in a way that highlighted the best flavors of each type. The entire experience, from start to finish, was amazing. The cost performance was excellent, and I highly recommend a visit to this restaurant.

Kuro5, a yakiniku restaurant located at the east exit of Ikebukuro Station! It's tucked away in a quiet spot about a 5-minute walk from the east exit. The interior is mostly open seating and it's always crowded. Looking at the menu, the prices are quite reasonable. What's great about this place is that all the staff will grill the meat for you. I always order the premium tongue, premium loin, and premium skirt steak. I also tried the kalbi and premium loin, all of which were delicious. The side dishes are also tasty with no disappointments. And the must-try is the Kuro5 rice! It's amazing! The freshly cooked mixed rice with lots of shiso leaves is recommended. The prices are affordable, the service is good, and it's easy to see why this place is so popular. There were customers ranging from couples to groups to salarymen. I highly recommend this yakiniku restaurant. Thank you for the meal.
