I visited "Asakusa Imahan Kiraku-tei" on the 7th floor of the main building of Shinjuku Isetan, which offers dishes such as sukiyaki using black-haired Japanese beef female cows, on December 8th. The location is right near Shinjuku-sanchome Station on the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line, Fukutoshin Line, and Toei Shinjuku Line. The restaurant is located in the restaurant area on the 7th floor of Shinjuku Isetan's main building (^-^). The opening hours are from 11:00 to 22:00 (last order at 21:00) for continuous operation. I visited alone around 2 pm on the opening day. There were flowers at the entrance! With the name Imahan, the interior had a luxurious feel (^o^;). There are about 40 seats, including counter and table seats. It was not crowded at this time, as I was seated at a large table for 4 people. The menu includes lunch options until 4 pm. The lunch options are as follows: - Ceramic plate sukiyaki lunch (3850 yen including tax) - Lean steak lunch (3520 yen including tax) - Limited to 10 servings Hamburg lunch (2750 yen including tax) - Roast beef lunch without rice (3960 yen including tax) The dinner menu also includes the above options but at slightly higher prices. On this day, the Hamburg lunch was already sold out, so I debated between the lean steak lunch and the sukiyaki lunch. Ultimately, since Imahan is known for sukiyaki, I ordered the Ceramic plate sukiyaki lunch (3850 yen including tax). The sukiyaki courses range from 6600 yen to 11000 yen. To briefly explain the sukiyaki course, the "Sukiyaki Course [Shirasagi]" for 8800 yen including tax includes appetizer, side dish, top lean sukiyaki, rice, red miso soup, pickles, and dessert, featuring carefully selected black-haired Japanese beef female cows for the sukiyaki. I had to wait for about 10 minutes. The Ceramic plate sukiyaki lunch arrived! It looked quite luxurious! The meal included small dishes, shoulder loin sukiyaki, rice, red miso soup with nameko mushrooms, and pickles. The taste was delicious! I was surprised by the salmon roe in the small dish. I really like salmon roe, so I was happy! It was delicious. The taste was quite rich, unexpected, but rich and mild with eggs, which matched well with the fatty shoulder loin. The vegetables and fluffy fu-fu wheat gluten were also very delicious. The vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, onions, carrots, spring onions, shungiku (edible chrysanthemum), and shiitake mushrooms were delicious with the broth. The white konjac was a personal favorite, matching well with the broth and making the rice very tasty. The service was excellent, as expected from Imahan, and I even had tea three times (^o^;). I'm sorry, thank you very much. Next time, I want to try the Hamburg or lean steak. Thank you for the meal.

The inside of the restaurant was spacious and calm. I ordered the Ceramic Plate Sukiyaki Lunch Set (¥3,850) which included small dishes, shoulder loin sukiyaki, rice, red miso soup, and pickles. It was a holiday, but since I went at 13:45, I was smoothly seated and the food came out quickly. The portion was satisfying and the cost performance was very good.

After seeing the review by MyReviewer Eric55, I decided to visit this restaurant. Upon entering, I found that the seating arrangement was very spacious, with both counter and table seats available. I ordered the following: - Ceramic plate sukiyaki lunch set for 3850 yen I was hoping to try the hamburger steak lunch set, but it was sold out due to the late hour. The sukiyaki that arrived was piping hot and delicious, especially with the large egg. The two types of green onions were enjoyable, and the wheat gluten and white konjac were tasty. It brought back memories of a disappointing sukiyaki I had in San Francisco during my graduation trip, which included onions and mushrooms. The red miso soup, rice, and three types of pickles were also delicious, making for a satisfying lunch. The staff were all friendly and attentive. I'll definitely try the hamburger steak next time!

I waited a bit in line for lunch on Sunday and was able to get in. It seems that dinner was fully booked with reservations. The service and food were fantastic. I had the sukiyaki set for lunch. The quality of the meat may not be top-grade, but it was delicious enough. The portion size was just right, and I was very satisfied.

I ordered the lean steak lunch and the hamburger steak lunch. The interior of the restaurant is spacious and clean with minimal decor. The vibrant vegetables were beautifully arranged and caught my eye! The taste was delicious, with the lean meat being surprisingly tender and offering a variety of flavors. The hamburger steak was likely made with only beef and was very filling. The marinated roast pork melted in my mouth and was delicious. I look forward to trying the sukiyaki and roast beef next time!

During the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, I finally had the opportunity to visit Asakusa Imahan Kiraku-tei on the 7th floor of Shinjuku Isetan, a place that had caught my interest for a while. Although I had been neglecting the main store in Asakusa, this branch allows customers to cook on their own with IH stoves at their table, starting with the staff cooking and then allowing customers to take over. We ordered the beef fillet sukiyaki course with sashimi, staying true to the name of the restaurant by providing a casual dining experience that is more affordable than the main store. The set menu also looked delicious. As we were enjoying ourselves, the drinks and dishes arrived and the meal began. Now, how was the taste... Despite the lack of reviews, or perhaps due to that, I will confidently give it a 3.5 rating. According to Tabelog, only 3% of restaurants have a rating of 3.5 or higher, so I do not give high scores easily. I would like to try the set menu next time. Thank you for the meal!

Visited on a sunny Sunday around 11:10. There were a few groups of customers before me, but I was able to get in without waiting. By 12:30, there was a line outside. Ordered the Lean Steak Set for 3,520 yen, which includes lean steak, salad, roast beef, rice, pickles, and miso soup. The lean steak was tender and juicy, despite being lean. It was delicious with various seasonings like salt, lime, black pepper, and sauce, but I personally enjoyed it best with salt and black pepper, bringing out the sweetness of the meat. The side dishes of grilled vegetables and mashed potatoes were also deliciously sweet. The salad had crispy fresh vegetables, especially the tomato which was incredibly sweet. The roast beef portion was small but satisfying, with tender meat that had marbling. The rice, miso soup, and pickles were all tasty as well. While Sukiyaki is the popular choice at Imahan, trying the steak for lunch was a nice change. The portion size is smaller, making it suitable for older women. The ambiance was great, and I enjoyed a sophisticated lunch experience.

I was checking out the Shinjuku Isetan on a holiday. There were long lines everywhere even before opening. I decided to try it out since this line was shorter lol. The sukiyaki set was around 3750 yen, quite expensive right? But then again, beef is also expensive so oh well. Tried to eat at Isetan on weekends or holidays, but no luck lol.

At lunchtime, there was a line in front of the restaurant. Since I had a reservation, I was seated at a calm table towards the back. The tables near the entrance were quite lively with many families with young children. This restaurant serves the meat by grilling the first piece for you, and then you grill the rest yourself. Despite sharing the same name as Imahan in Ningyocho, this place has a more casual atmosphere and service. We ordered the top sirloin sukiyaki and the fillet sukiyaki courses. The fillet was quite light in flavor, personally I prefer the top sirloin with its delicious fat. We ended up ordering more top sirloin and left feeling satisfied.

After shopping at Shinjuku Isetan, I had a sukiyaki dinner at Asakusa Imahan Kiraku-tei ❤️ The teppan sukiyaki set meal was 4,510 yen (tax included). I hadn't eaten lunch properly, so I was very hungry when I went, but the meal was so filling that I ended up with a stomach ache (lol). I had bought bento boxes and side dishes from Asakusa Imahan before, but this was my first time dining at the actual restaurant. The quality was truly top-notch, and I was completely satisfied with the dinner ☺️ Thank you for the feast!!

The restaurant street at Shinjuku Isetan is often crowded, with a line of people waiting in the aisle. Around 1:30 pm on a weekday, I had to wait for 3 people, but soon 2 people cancelled and I was seated at the counter by a friendly staff member with a lovely smile after a 5-minute wait. The counter is slightly elevated and spacious, with a view of part of the kitchen. This is a new restaurant, and I found myself thinking about what the previous restaurant was like. As a first-time visitor, I was served a menu, a wet towel, chopsticks, and hojicha tea on the side, along with a paper apron to adjust my position. I requested ice in my water. The lunch special, hamburg steak, was sold out, so I decided to go for the Sukiyaki with top sirloin course. The menu included dessert, with a photo of the pastry chef and a picture of the seasonal dessert, which was a mille-feuille with pears. The first dish was served promptly in a beautiful dish. The staff explained the contents from across the counter, and I had to ask for clarification on some items. The turnip and mushroom dish had a delicate flavor, while the fish was perfectly grilled and the broth was light. Next came two appetizers served in stylish Imari ware. The dishes were beautifully presented, with grilled oysters, marinated ikura with seaweed, ginkgo nuts, and sweet potato paste. The main course was thin slices of top sirloin (from Ibaraki black wagyu) with vegetables, sauce, and water. The staff prepared the dish for me, mixing the egg yolk thoroughly and cooking the meat to perfection. The meat was tender and flavorful, and I enjoyed it with rice, miso soup, and pickles. The Sukiyaki was delicious, and I was impressed by the depth of flavor in the sauce. The meal ended with a delightful dessert of pear mille-feuille and hot hojicha tea. The pastry was crispy and layered with custard cream and chocolate, complemented by the subtle sweetness of the pear.

On 10/30/2022, I revisited this place and invited guests from Nagoya for a wine tasting event at Tansei in Isetan. We needed to have lunch beforehand due to the schedule, so we chose this place. The hamburger lunch here is a must-try. It's satisfying in terms of both portion size and taste. The staff is also very good. Prices can go up quickly once you start drinking alcohol. We've only tried the hamburger lunch here, but that's enough for us. In terms of cost performance, this menu is a good choice. I recommend it, especially during the early lunch hours. Please see the image for more details. Thank you for the meal. After this, we went on a champagne shopping spree (laughs).

Visited on a holiday at 11:30 am, stayed for 30 minutes. No wait. Purpose was to have a solo meal while shopping. Motivated to visit by browsing the restaurant street and being attracted by the delicious-looking menu. I came to Shinjuku Isetan to buy a birthday cake for my daughter and decided to have lunch at the restaurant street while I'm here. It had been a while since I visited the Isetan restaurant street, so I was looking around the floor to see what they had. That's when I saw the limited edition hamburger lunch set at "Asakusa Imahan Kiraku Tei." I decided to enter and the interior was bright and clean, with high-quality hospitality evident from the welcome. I ended up choosing the red meat steak lunch set for 3,520 yen and a Perrier for 550 yen. As I looked at the menu, the steak looked more delicious than the hamburger, so I decided to go with that. I ordered the steak "well-done" and the meat was cooked carefully and deliciously, with a good grill aroma and juiciness. I could enjoy the taste with coarse salt, black pepper, and yakiniku sauce for seasoning. Especially, eating the pepper whole enhanced the spicy aroma and taste in my mouth. Although "Imahan" is known for sukiyaki, their steak was also excellent. I will definitely come back to try the hamburger that I passed on this time. Thank you for the meal.

On June 5, 2022, I revisited this place to buy a wine glass. I had arranged to meet the attendant at 12 o'clock. I arrived here as soon as EAT PARADISE opened. My target was the limited edition hamburger lunch set, limited to 10 servings. This is the only option I chose. For this menu, I have rated the cost performance at 4.0 or higher. The set was very generous, with a large hamburger in the center, accompanied by grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, salad, pickles, raw egg yolk, red miso soup, and another well-thought-out side dish that I forgot (^◇^;) The rice portion was light. The salads were particularly delicious. The hamburger itself was incredibly tender and juicy. The grilled vegetables were tasty, and the mashed potatoes were so good that you might want to say "this is how mashed potatoes should be." The alcohol was expensive, but the 2750 yen for this hamburger set was well worth it. Since we receive a 10% discount through our shareholder benefits, we were able to enjoy it for 2475 yen including tax. We had a beer each, spending just under 6000 yen for the two of us. Among the overpriced and underwhelming offerings at EAT PARADISE, this hamburger set is quite outstanding. However, this evaluation is limited to the 10-serving hamburger lunch set. I am satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

Visited here for the first time on February 24, 2022, as it is a newly opened establishment. I can't remember what was here before. I came specifically to use the "free drink voucher" I received at the previous art exhibition event. I was lured in by that. I had heard in advance that the "Hamburger Lunch Set", limited to 10 servings per day, looked quite good, so that was my goal. It costs 2750 yen including tax, which is a bit pricey. I wanted to use the voucher for a draft beer. The hamburger took a while to arrive. When it did, it looked great. It came with plenty of side dishes: salad, sweet simmered beef, grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, and a raw egg. The portion of rice was decent as well. Let's dig into the hamburger. Wow! It's delicious. Fluffy yet juicy. The salad is fresh, the grilled vegetables are tasty, and the mashed potatoes are insanely good. No complaints about the 2750 yen price. If you use the shareholder benefit, you get a 10% discount, making it even more worthwhile. This place is a top contender for lunch at Isetan. However, this review is based on the limited Hamburger Lunch Set. Thank you for the meal.

Asakusa Konparu Kirakutei serves a delicious hamburger steak lunch limited to 10 servings per day. The hamburger steak is cooked on a hot plate and is just the right balance of tenderness and juiciness, with a rich meaty flavor. It is served with various condiments like egg, rock salt, sudachi, and pepper. The salad portion is just right, with a tasty dressing. The vegetables on the hot plate include shiitake mushrooms, green peppers, paprika, turnips, and sweet potatoes, all delicious. The mashed potatoes are also perfectly cooked. The side dish of braised pork is tender and flavorful, and the red miso soup with nameko mushrooms is a nice touch. The clean and well-maintained restaurant has attentive and friendly staff who provide excellent service without being intrusive. I am looking forward to trying the roast beef chirashi lunch next time. Overall, a satisfying and delicious lunch experience. Thank you, I will definitely visit again.

I had some free time, so I was seated at a spacious table for four by myself. I ordered the roast beef salad, roast beef tataki, and steak set. The roast beef in the salad was very generous and satisfying. The roast beef used in the tataki was a bit fatty, but still delicious. The salad vegetables were really fresh, which was another plus. The beer and wine were also delicious. Everything was tasty, the service was great, and it's a wonderful restaurant.

I had the Ceramic Plate Sukiyaki Set for lunch. It included Imahan's specialty fu (wheat gluten) and was delicious.

It was delicious, but the meat was very thin. I thought it might be different from the main store.

It was delicious, but the meat was a little tough.
