Unexpectedly finished work in the morning. Had some errands in Sugamo and decided to have lunch there. Found a yakiniku restaurant on the 5th floor of Atre! I was worried about the price but the lunch set was a good deal. It came with a salad and a drink bar with free refills. There was a set menu for about 1,500 yen. I was really hungry but it was worth the wait. Sat at a nice table with a view, enjoying the cherry blossom trees, the Yamanote Line, buses, and the Sugamo Jizo-dori shopping street. Train enthusiasts would be thrilled. It was past 2:30 and not crowded, and surprisingly, lunch was served until 4 pm. I decided to go for the kalbi and loin lunch set. They asked about the rice portion and I went with the regular size, but they gave me a large serving which was fine. The meat was surprisingly delicious. It even came with vegetables. And there was no smoke... how mysterious. The functional table impressed me. They even had black aprons and you could ask for wasabi. The salad was fresh and the dressing was tasty. I went for seconds. The drink bar was decent for the price. The staff were also very friendly. Ah, I would love to reserve this seat during cherry blossom season. Please let me. I bet the night view would be amazing too. I'm curious about the other menu items, so I definitely want to go back. There were also solo diners enjoying beer and yakiniku.

I went to a yakiniku restaurant by myself for lunch and felt like eating a lot, so I decided to order bibimbap on the way. I'm not a fan of kimchi, but I thought maybe I could eat it when it's hot, so I gave it a try. However, kimchi was still kimchi. It was delicious, but I thought I should have ordered yakiniku after all, so next time I will go for yakiniku. It's a nice restaurant with a good view, and it's totally fine to go alone.

This month's meat day was at Ushigome's Gyubei. My wife, who loves beef tongue, was delighted to order a beef tongue set at the Sendai Gyutan Festival. The beef tongue was not the usual round shape, but was cut in a snake-like pattern similar to Sendai Gyutan. It felt like we were enjoying beef tongue in Sendai! Needless to say, the taste was delicious.

There is a yakiniku restaurant inside Atre. It used to be easy to get in, but this time I had to wait about 15 minutes, probably due to a shortage of staff. It was around 7 pm on a Saturday. The taste is delicious and the atmosphere is calm, so you can relax. There is also a counter where you can see outside.

Visit date and time: Holiday 11:00-11:50 Weather: Sunny When I visited, there were a few groups, but by the time I left, the restaurant was full with customers waiting. The clientele ranged from families with children to elderly customers. We were seated at a spacious table for four. There are also seats by the window with a nice view. This time, I ordered a lunch special called "Beef Shabu Shabu" that is not on the regular menu. It cost 1,780 yen. We enjoyed it with ponzu sauce provided by the restaurant (although it was a bit thick). Considering the price, it was decent.

I'm probably about the third time in my life to have yakiniku, so I'm a beginner when it comes to yakiniku (^_^)v I've been wanting to try yakiniku alone for a while now, and today my wish finally came true. The lunch I was aiming for at the restaurant was all sold out (I always start my days off late on my days off, haha), so I hurried over to this place where the lunch last order was a bit late. I really wanted to debut a yakiniku lunch (I'm really determined, huh). I have a bit of a dislike for harami, so I decided to exclude that from my choices, and I also wanted to avoid any platters that might include offal. I actually wanted to just have the sirloin on its own, but since it wasn't on the menu, I ended up going a bit over budget and ordered the beef kalbi and beef sirloin platter lunch. I've been to this restaurant several times before to have their hamburger lunch, but this was my first time trying yakiniku here. As a yakiniku beginner, I was feeling a bit nervous (^-^;) Soon, a tray with rice (I chose the medium size), salad, kimchi, and soup was brought over, and shortly after that, a plate of meat was served. The grill had already been lit by the staff, so I was ready to go, and I started grilling the meat. I had no idea how long to cook it for or when to flip it. I just flipped it randomly based on my instincts. Once it seemed cooked, I transferred it to a plate and dipped it in soy sauce and salt sauce alternately. It was delicious! I don't have much experience comparing it to other places, but it was good (^-^;) I grilled and ate, grilled and ate, repeating this process about three times, and before I knew it, I had finished everything. I thought I could have eaten a bit more, but I told myself that this was probably just right. I finished off with self-served coffee and roasted green tea (all-you-can-drink). My first yakiniku lunch was over. The restaurant's interior was clean, with seats arranged in a relaxed manner, so I could enjoy yakiniku alone as a woman without feeling self-conscious. The prices are not particularly great, but the service was good despite the current circumstances, whether due to a labor shortage or just because they are short-staffed. The floor was being managed by just one young female staff member, who seemed really busy but still provided good service at key moments. She was working hard! I wanted to cheer her on, but I couldn't say it out loud, so I sent my support silently in my mind.

Located on the 5th floor of Atre Vie in Sugamo Station, this restaurant may not be suitable for those looking to "grill and eat a lot." If you prefer smaller portions, savoring delicious cuts of meat little by little, and quality over quantity, then this yakiniku restaurant is perfect for you. We tried the "Six Kinds of Japanese Beef Assortment," which consisted of 2-3 pieces of high-quality cuts each, all delicious without any misses. The "Aged Beef Tongue" allows you to enjoy the flavors of thick and thin slices, while the "Smoked Cheek Meat" is a must-try for malt and smoked food lovers. The service is generally attentive, with a clean and pleasant atmosphere. They offer private rooms and couple seats, making it a great choice for dates or casual business meetings.

I have been using this place often, and it seems like there are more solo diners now as they have increased their menu for single customers. The menu is like a lunch menu, and it is enough to enjoy even if you are dining alone. Families and solo diners are common here, especially at the counter. Sometimes, you may need to make a reservation to avoid waiting.

I revisited the restaurant, but the taste has changed. I went early after lunch time, but the quality of the meat was different from usual. It was supposed to be Japanese beef, but it lacked the usual richness in flavor. They might have served me leftovers from lunch. They sprinkled a different kind of garlic that I didn't like, and it upset my stomach. I don't feel like going back for a while. However, I really wanted to eat yakiniku, so I decided to go in. I ordered the recommended assorted set. The meat was cut poorly and seemed to be frozen, but considering the price, it was acceptable. The taste of the meat was not bad. The other customers were regulars who came multiple times, and many of them ate quickly and left. I thought it was a decent place to casually enjoy yakiniku in the station.

Grilled meat sushi was a dream come true! It was not rare, but cooked thoroughly. The wasabi added a nice touch and it was delicious!

Yakiniku restaurant at Atre in Sugamo Station. Convenient location and good quality, which is much appreciated. Will likely use it more often when in Sugamo Station.

We used the special course with all-you-can-drink option for dinner. We were able to enjoy rare cuts such as Shinsin and Kainomi. We were worried because there were reviews saying "the portion is small", but we were actually surprised to be quite full... (Both in their 20s, relatively big eaters) The quality of the meat was very good, and the staff were kind and the service was quick from ordering drinks to serving. The price is high, but you can enjoy high-quality meat that matches it. I have a seafood allergy, but when I informed them, they kindly switched it to something else. It was very delicious, thank you very much!

Delicious meats!

Stylish and clean yakiniku restaurant.

I used it for lunch on Sunday with my family. The meat was very delicious.

The food was delicious and satisfying. The staff seemed to be short-handed. The female staff members were friendly and provided good service even though they seemed busy.

First time at GoTO for yakiniku - it was nice and relaxing.
