It's been a while since I went to Mikore for a yakiniku lunch. The lunch set allows you to choose 2 types of meat for 900 yen, so I ordered wagyu kalbi which was delicious! Mikore always serves tasty meat, and I was happy to see that the salad was served cold. It had been a while since I last visited, and I noticed that all the staff were foreigners, which was a bit concerning in terms of service. However, the cost performance is good, the food is delicious, and you can even get a free extra serving of rice. Overall, I was very satisfied! Mikore has izakayas and sushi restaurants in Shinjuku as well, and I love them all because they are cheap and delicious!

Located in the Shinjuku Nishiguchi underground passageway, just before Ramen Kamukura, turn right and go up the stairs. You will see the Shinjuku Post Office in the direction of Plaza Street. Take a left at the corner of Udon no Mikuni and you will find a place with a sign that says "homemade noodles." I decided to go in thinking this must be a good choice. I ordered the cold noodles (medium size) for 850 yen, and they were deliciously cold. The noodles were smooth and slightly transparent with a yellow hue. They had a strong chewiness. The soup was decent. I added some vinegar that was left on the table to change the flavor a bit. For 850 yen, this was a satisfying meal. However, I was hoping to try the greyish cold noodles made with soba flour, but surprisingly they didn't have it. I wonder if they have it in Akasaka. The restaurant opened last year, but it didn't feel brand new. It wasn't dirty, but it didn't have a sparkling clean feel either. The customers were diverse, typical of Shinjuku.

Visited the restaurant on a holiday after 1 pm and about half of the seats were already taken. More customers started coming in, causing a waitlist. After placing our order, the food was served promptly. The meat quality was decent with a good amount of marbling, making it easy to enjoy with rice. The rice and soup were refillable, so we left feeling satisfied. Sometimes, having yakiniku with white rice instead of beer is also a good option. The deliciousness of the marinated beef goes well with both rice and alcohol, making it a great meal choice.

It is a good deal to enjoy wagyu beef for 1000 yen at lunch. The amount of meat is not large, so it may not be suitable if you want to get full. However, you can have unlimited rice. There is a solid fuel placed on the iron plate, which helps to remove excess oil. It would be even better if you could enjoy some grilled vegetables. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is not like a typical casual yakiniku place, so you can eat in a calm environment.

Today, the weather was drizzly, spring weather is so changeable. But one thing that doesn't change is my appetite. I was planning to go watch a movie at night, so I decided to have a hearty lunch. I headed to... the restaurant for this visit: Yakiniku Sansai Shinjuku, visited after 9 months. Looking at the menu outside, I noticed that the prices hadn't gone up, which was a relief. - US Premium Harami: 1000 yen This time, I ordered something different from last time. The word "premium" caught my eye. A charcoal grill was set up, and after a while, the salad and kimchi arrived, followed by the main course. The set included a solid fuel stove, meat, rice (large serving), soup, and yakiniku sauce. Let's dig in. First, let's grill the two slices of meat. Since it was a solid fuel stove, I took my time grilling. Once they were cooked, I dipped them in the sauce and took a bite. The harami had a unique texture and was delicious. The soy sauce-based sauce enhanced the flavor of the meat, and I couldn't help but mix it with the rice. The soup had plenty of seaweed, and it paired perfectly with the yakiniku. The kimchi and bean sprout namul were also delicious. Especially the pickled vegetables were tasty. Just this alone could go well with a bowl of rice. As I started grilling the remaining meat, I asked for a rice refill and soup refill. I quickly finished the meal. Ah, it was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

As soon as you enter, you will be served salad, soup, kimchi, and bean sprouts. The lunch options to choose from are beef loin and pork belly. If you request for a low-carb option, you will also get broccoli and a salad with a raw egg. The charcoal grill is warm, and the rice is cooked soft. There are many Chinese women dining here, and they provide quick and reliable service.

This is a yakiniku restaurant in Nishi-Shinjuku called Sanzei, which has become a well-established yakiniku spot. It is a rare high-class restaurant within Sanzei, located underground with a slightly upscale atmosphere. The interior is dimly lit with spotlights on the tables, creating a luxurious ambiance with red carpeting. The tables are large and comfortable. During lunchtime, there tends to be a line forming after 12 pm, so it's best to avoid peak hours. The lunch menu offers a satisfying yakiniku lunch for 1,000 yen. They have an interesting system where you can add more meat starting from one slice. The prices for additional meat have been revised to 130 yen for loin or kalbi, 250 yen for premium, and 400 yen for special premium. Rice and soup are refillable. In Nishi-Shinjuku, lunch deals are usually only available on weekdays, but this restaurant offers lunch menus even on weekends and holidays. I tried the following dishes: - Liver (748 yen): I ordered this as a single item menu and chose the sauce option. The high-quality beef liver used was free of any unpleasant odor, allowing you to savor the richness of the liver. The sauce was similar to a spicy miso sauce, but surprisingly lacked saltiness, making it tastier to dip the liver in the sauce rather than eating it plain. - Wagyu kalbi set meal (1,000 yen): A tabletop grill is provided for you to cook the meat over charcoal. There is a smoke exhaust duct on the table, so it doesn't get smoky. Upon ordering, you are served salad, namul, and kimchi. The salad is a cholegi salad with sesame oil, and the kimchi was daikon kakuteki that day. Rice and soup are also served promptly. The wagyu kalbi with marbling looked delicious and emitted a pleasant smoky aroma as the fat dripped onto the charcoal. The meat was marinated with a light sauce, and the dipping sauce was also light, complementing the excellent quality of the wagyu kalbi. The freshly cooked rice was tasty, and the soup was a light wakame soup. Despite the price increase for extra meat, ordering from the dinner menu still felt like a good deal. Even after the price adjustment, this yakiniku restaurant remains a top choice for its cost performance.

The interior is dimly lit with spotlights on the tables, and a luxurious feel with red carpeting. The tables are large and comfortable. During lunchtime, there can be a line after 12 o'clock, so it's best to avoid peak hours. The lunch menu offers a variety of yakiniku options for 1,000 yen. You can add more meat for an interesting system where adding one piece of loin or kalbi costs 100 yen, premium costs 200 yen, and special premium costs 300 yen per piece. Most lunch menus in Nishi-Shinjuku are only available on weekdays, but this restaurant also serves lunch on weekends and holidays. I tried the US Premium Harami (1,000 yen) with an additional order of Wagyu kalbi (2 pieces for 200 yen). They provide a tabletop grill with charcoal for you to cook the meat. There is a ventilation duct on the table, so it doesn't get smoky. They efficiently serve salad, namul, and kimchi before you order. The salad is a sesame oil-dressed Chorogi salad, and the kimchi was radish kakuteki that day. Rice and soup are also served. You can order additional meat in increments of one piece, even different types of meat. The Harami from the US had a good balance of fat and meat flavor, while the Wagyu kalbi was delicious with its good marbling. Both were tasty, and adding a little Wagyu kalbi to the Harami was a good balance. Sanzei has established itself as a cost-effective yakiniku restaurant in Shinjuku and is always looking to improve its service, with new menu items available. Their new menu includes a yakiniku lunch where you can choose one main and one side dish to enjoy a variety of flavors even when dining alone.

I visited a yakiniku restaurant in the Shinjuku Nishiguchi area that is popular with the Sanzei Group. When I went on a weekday for lunch, it was packed and there was a small wait for the underground restaurant. The lunch set comes with rice, soup, salad, kimchi, and namul, along with plenty of meat. The Wagyu top kalbi (1500 yen) had good quality meat and a nice appearance. As it is kalbi, there is a lot of fat, which seemed to be of high quality and delicious, but it might be too rich for those who are sensitive to fat. I enjoyed it until the end. The rice portion is quite generous by default. The sauce is on the lighter side, allowing you to savor the deliciousness of the meat. If you can eat this quality of meat for around 1000 yen, it can be considered cost-effective. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the yakiniku restaurant Sanze located in the west exit area of Shinjuku Station. The restaurant used to be a sukiyaki place before, but it seems to have changed again. The restaurant is located underground and has a calm atmosphere. I tried various dishes such as samgyeopsal, kalbi, and harami, and I think the food is consistently delicious. The samgyeopsal is thick and very tasty when eaten with lettuce. The fact that they serve senmai sashimi was a plus for me. Thank you for the meal!

This is a yakiniku restaurant in Nishi-Shinjuku. It has become a well-established yakiniku restaurant, especially known for its high-class atmosphere. Located underground, the ambiance is slightly upscale with dim lighting and spotlights on the tables, along with a red carpet adding to the luxurious feel. The tables are spacious and comfortable. During lunchtime, it can get crowded after 12 pm, so it's best to avoid peak hours. The lunch menu is priced at 1,000 yen and offers a variety of options. They have an interesting system where you can add more meat for an additional cost, such as 100 yen for one piece of loin or kalbi, 200 yen for premium cuts, and 300 yen for top-quality cuts. I tried the Wagyu middle rib kalbi for 1,000 yen and added two more pieces for 200 yen. Each table has a charcoal grill where you can cook the meat. There's a ventilation duct on the table to prevent smoke. Before placing your order, they serve salad, namul, and kimchi. The salad is a sesame oil-dressed chogeri salad, and the kimchi was radish kakuteki on the day of my visit. They also provide rice and soup. The Wagyu middle rib kalbi has a higher fat content compared to other cuts. It's thinly sliced, mostly consisting of fat. When grilled, the fat melts, drips onto the charcoal, and creates a delicious aroma. The meat is marinated in a light sauce, but the flavor is dominated by the fat. The dipping sauce is also light, so it's best to mix it well with the meat. This yakiniku is all about savoring the richness of the Wagyu fat. The rice is freshly cooked and served in a regular-sized bowl. You can ask for refills of rice and soup. The seaweed soup has a Korean-style flavor and is served in a small bowl. Overall, the Wagyu kalbi is the best choice for its balance of flavors. The middle rib kalbi is recommended for those who want to indulge in the rich fat of Wagyu beef, especially for young people who can afford the high fat intake without health concerns.

Yakiniku Reimen Sanzei in Shinjuku Station. Went with senior colleagues from the yakiniku and shabu-shabu departments to a restaurant I had been curious about. Clean Koshuen was decent, but the meat here is incredibly delicious! The cold noodles are also very filling! Haven't had such tasty meat in a while, definitely recommend it. #YakinikuReimenSanzei #ShinjukuLunch #ShinjukuGourmet #ShinjukuYakiniku

The writer, who usually eats ramen, udon, or Chinese food, struggled to find a restaurant in Shinjuku to have dinner with their elementary school child. They ended up at a restaurant where they ordered Hormone Mix Set (980 yen), a kids' set meal, and the cheapest Kalbi (680 yen). The total cost was around 2,500 yen. Despite the initial disappointment of not being able to go to the desired family restaurant, the child ended up enjoying the meal, particularly the Korean seaweed and the chewy Shimachara. The Hormone was fresh and the slightly spicy miso sauce was delicious. The writer, who is not very picky about taste, was satisfied with the quality of the cheapest Kalbi, which seemed to be wagyu with a good amount of marbling. The portion of rice in the set meal was generous, and the soup was tasty. The writer plans to order the Kalbi set meal next time and add extra Shimachara.

This is a yakiniku restaurant located in Nishi-Shinjuku. Three Is has become well-established as a yakiniku restaurant. It is one of the few high-end restaurants in Three Is, located underground with a slightly upscale atmosphere. The interior is dimly lit with spotlights on the tables, creating a luxurious ambiance with red carpeting. The tables are large and comfortable.

I ordered the Wagyu Kalbi set for 1,000 yen with an additional 5 pieces of meat for 500 yen. Each table is equipped with a charcoal grill, and there is an exhaust duct on the table to prevent smoke buildup. Upon ordering, a salad, namul, and kimchi are served promptly. The salad is a chogeri salad with sesame oil dressing, and the kimchi served that day was daikon kakuteki. There seems to be a variety of kimchi available, including napa cabbage kimchi and daikon kakuteki. Rice and soup are also served, and the service is quick due to the line outside, giving off a sense of wanting customers to eat quickly and leave. The Wagyu Kalbi, marbled and delicious-looking, is perfect for grilling over charcoal. Adding 5 extra pieces of meat makes for a generous portion. The meat is grilled until the fat drips onto the charcoal, creating a delicious smoky aroma. Despite the exhaust duct, the aroma still lingers. The grilled Wagyu Kalbi, lightly seasoned with a light dipping sauce, is undeniably delicious. The freshly cooked rice is served in a regular-sized bowl, and you can have seconds of rice and soup, making it a satisfying meal even for big eaters. The seaweed soup served is Korean-style, and you can have seconds for free. Three Is in Nishi-Shinjuku is not only known for seafood but also for their yakiniku.

I was told to come here and followed along without knowing where it was. It was my first time having a yakiniku lunch, and the feeling of indulgence was nice. However, the restaurant was hot and I ended up sweating a lot. Maybe it was just me being sensitive to the heat? The meat was a bit tough, but I guess that's expected for a lunch set. Thank you for the meal!

I visited this restaurant after it changed its concept. Previously, it was a place known for its lineup of sake and fish dishes. The atmosphere inside remains mostly the same, with a spacious layout that is calming. The menu now focuses on grilled meat, with a variety of dishes ranging from under 1,000 yen to around 3,000 yen depending on the quality of the meat. The meat was tasty and the prices felt reasonable. We finished our meal with cold noodles and stone pot bibimbap, leaving us feeling satisfied. Overall, I was almost fully satisfied, but I hope to see more energy or unique aspects in the future. I still believe this restaurant has potential for further growth.

Recently, I heard that a yakiniku restaurant has opened near Shinjuku Station's west exit. Excited by the news, I decided to go check it out since I haven't had yakiniku for lunch in Shinjuku before. As I approached the restaurant, I saw a lively storefront with banners and a menu posted on the brown walls. Stepping inside and descending the stairs, I reached the entrance of the restaurant - Yakiniku Sanzei Shinjuku. The interior had a calm atmosphere, spacious for Shinjuku standards, and exuded a sense of luxury. Upon being seated at a table, I was promptly served with a moist towel and cold barley tea. I decided to start with the first item on the menu - Wagyu Kalbi for 1000 yen. Shortly after, a salad and side dishes (kimchi, bean sprout namul) were served. Then came the main dish. The set included a solid fuel stove, meat, rice (extra large portion), soup, and yakiniku sauce. The standout was the Wagyu Kalbi, with a vibrant color that I had never seen before in yakiniku lunch sets. I couldn't help but admire its appearance. Time to eat. I started by grilling two pieces of meat slowly on the solid fuel stove. The meat was surprisingly tender and had a perfect chewiness. The soy-based sauce enhanced the meat's flavor, creating a delightful taste that filled my mouth. I couldn't resist mixing it with the rice. The soup, filled with wakame seaweed, paired perfectly with the yakiniku. The kimchi and bean sprout namul were also delicious. As I started grilling the remaining meat, I asked for a refill of rice and soup. I quickly finished the meal, enjoying the elegant atmosphere of the restaurant and the refined dishes. It seemed like a great place for a date, as there were couples dining there as well. Oh, it was so delicious. Next time, I want to try their non-grilled lunch set. Thank you for the meal.

This is a yakiniku restaurant in Nishi-Shinjuku. Previously, it used to serve yakiniku, sukiyaki, and shabu-shabu as its main dishes, along with seafood, but it has now been revamped to focus solely on yakiniku. The interior of the restaurant remains the same, located underground, with a slightly high-end atmosphere. The ambiance is upscale with dim lighting and spotlights on the tables, red carpeting, and large comfortable tables. Each table also has a stove for sukiyaki and shabu-shabu, with good ventilation. The lunch menu offers a satisfying yakiniku lunch for 1,000 yen, giving off a more affordable impression. The system of adding extra meat is still in place, with an interesting rule where you can add one piece of wagyu for 100 yen, premium for 200 yen, and special premium for 300 yen. You can add as many pieces as you like. The restaurant has become popular within less than a month of opening, with lines forming during lunchtime after 12 PM. We ordered the Wagyu Kalbi Set (1,000 yen) with an additional two pieces of meat (200 yen). Upon ordering, we were served salad, namul, and kimchi. The salad was a sesame oil-dressed Chorogi salad, while the kimchi was cabbage kimchi on this day. The Kakuteki kimchi we had last time was more voluminous and had a better texture. Rice and soup were also served promptly, as the restaurant aims to serve quickly and efficiently due to the lines. A shichirin grill was placed on our table, and we grilled the meat over charcoal. The wagyu kalbi had visible marbling and looked delicious. There was one piece with a lot of fat, which produced a tasty smoky aroma when it dripped onto the charcoal. Even with the exhaust duct, the aroma was still present. The smoky flavor enhanced the already delicious kalbi. Adding extra meat is a must, especially for the marbled kalbi. The lightly seasoned sauce and dipping sauce complemented the high-quality meat well. The freshly cooked rice and seaweed soup were both served in regular-sized bowls. You can ask for refills of rice and soup, so if you want to eat heartily, be mindful of your meat-to-rice ratio. The classic kalbi yakiniku was undeniably delicious, a taste that everyone can appreciate. If you're looking for yakiniku in Nishi-Shinjuku, Sanzei is the place to go, even if there's a line.

This is a yakiniku restaurant that opened in May 2022 in Nishi-Shinjuku. It used to offer yakiniku, sukiyaki, and shabu-shabu as its main dishes along with seafood, but it has now renovated to specialize in yakiniku. The interior of the restaurant remains the same as before. It is a rare high-end restaurant in Sanshi, located underground with a slightly luxurious atmosphere. The ambiance is elegant with dim lighting and spotlights on the tables, and a red carpet adds to the upscale feel. The tables are large and comfortable, with each table equipped with a stove for sukiyaki and shabu-shabu, ensuring good ventilation. The lunch menu offers a satisfying yakiniku lunch for 1,000 yen, giving the impression of lower prices. The system of adding extra meat is still in place, with an interesting rule where you can add one slice of wagyu for 100 yen, premium for 200 yen, and special premium for 300 yen per slice. What I ordered was the Wagyu sirloin set meal (1,000 yen) with an additional two slices of meat (200 yen). Upon ordering, a salad, namul, and kimchi are promptly served. The salad is a Chorogi salad with sesame oil, just like before. A shichirin is placed on the table, and you grill the meat over charcoal. With a smoke exhaust duct on the table, it never gets smoky. The wagyu sirloin is lean like thigh meat, with no fat, making it healthy. It's good for health-conscious women or those who want to actively consume protein. The thickness is just right, and grilling over charcoal makes it easy to cook to the perfect doneness. The portion might be a bit small for one person, so adding extra meat is essential. If you go for about five slices, you'll feel satisfied. The meat is pre-seasoned with a light sauce and the dipping sauce is also light. Previously, there were condiments and a variety of sauces, but it seems they have simplified things to reduce costs. The rice is freshly cooked and delicious, served in a regular rice bowl. The soup is a Korean-style wakame soup, also served in a regular soup bowl. You can get refills of rice and soup, so if you want to eat heartily, be mindful of the pace of meat consumption and refill the rice. The kimchi is radish kimchi kakuteki, and the namul is bean sprouts. This yakiniku lunch has cut back on luxury aspects from its previous format to lower prices. Perhaps due to the lower price per person, the number of customers seems to have increased. It's a yakiniku meal that embodies the affordable and value-for-money essence of Sanshi.

I usually go after 12 pm to avoid waiting in line. You can have unlimited rice and soup. It's nice to have it grilled over charcoal.
