"Yakiniku and Steak Restaurant North Hill Ibaraki Garden" We decided to take a drive towards Atsuta because the weather was nice. We stopped by for lunch on the way! The restaurant has a Showa-era atmosphere (*´ω｀). When you enter the restaurant, you are asked if you prefer a yakiniku or steak seat, and we chose the yakiniku seat. Luckily, there was a table available immediately, but by the time we left, there was a long line outside (@_@)!! It's better to make a reservation on holidays... Lunch hours are from 11:00 to 14:00. There were various options on the menu, but we tried the cost-effective yakiniku lunch! We ordered the "Beef Kalbi Lunch @1,133 yen tax included" and the "Genghis Khan Lunch @968 yen tax included". Both come with rice, salad, pickles, and a choice of miso soup or a soft drink. The beef kalbi was 150g!! The Genghis Khan had even more meat and was quite filling. The meat was very tender and of high quality for the price. We chose the seasoning for the Genghis Khan, and it might be tastier than a famous local restaurant's Genghis Khan (＾ω＾)... The rice was freshly cooked and hot, and having salad included was a nice touch! We liked it so much that we had seconds of the Genghis Khan and left feeling very full and satisfied!! The restaurant was quite smoky inside and had a chaotic Showa-era atmosphere, which may not be to everyone's taste, but the prices are affordable and the value for money is excellent! The service was good too, so this place is great! It's a bit inconvenient to get to, but I would like to visit again during the summer when the weather is nice. Thank you for the delicious meal!!

I visited a restaurant in Itado with a unique atmosphere that has been around for a long time. I was surprised to find it extremely crowded when I went around 1 pm on a weekday. It was bustling with people on their lunch break and locals. The fillet steak was tender and delicious. The corn soup was also tasty. The ramen was decently good. They allow you to have coffee with lunch, which is nice. It's not a very cheap place, but it's popular and has a good vibe.

"I was taken to a place where you can eat meat, North Hill. The front of the restaurant was bustling and exciting. I was told that they can also host banquets on the second floor. Upon entering, the staff asked, "Are you here for yakiniku or steak?" I immediately chose steak! The restaurant had a spacious interior, giving off a nostalgic 'restaurant' vibe. They not only had steak but also ramen and more. I heard they offer all-you-can-eat yakiniku as well. I opted for the Cut Steak 200g for 1,000 yen (including tax) and the 363 yen set (including tax). The 363 yen set included a choice of soft drink, miso soup, rice, or salad. I chose an iced coffee for my drink. The food was served quicker than expected. The steak looked delicious on the hot plate - tender and with a flavorful sauce. It also came with noodles, zucchini, and mixed vegetables. I thought 200g might be too much, but surprisingly, I finished it all easily. Another restaurant I want to visit again! Visited in July 2023."

I really enjoyed the nostalgic atmosphere of this Showa era-themed restaurant! The peculiar objects at the entrance and inside the store caught my attention more than the food. When you enter the store, you are asked if you want steak or yakiniku. If you choose steak, you are guided to the right, and if you choose yakiniku, you are guided to the left. The meat in the steak bowl is thick but very tender and delicious. However, the taste of this meat is also very peculiar. I wonder which part of the meat it is from. The customers keep coming in one after another. It's very popular! But the service is very quick, which is great! Next time, I'll try the all-you-can-eat yakiniku! Thank you for the meal!

I came from the planet Bryn, 1 million light years away, Donbryn! One Saturday, I had to work (´Д` ). I found a steak and yakiniku restaurant. Young couples, families, elderly people returning from park golf - everyone seemed to be off today. Feeling a bit tired, Donbryn thought, "Eating meat will give me energy!" ★Steak bowl: ¥1320- The meat is thick! The portion size is generous! The price is a bit high, but the meat is tender and delicious. For Donbryn, it's a passing grade. Now that I've powered up, I think I'll head back to Bryn for today (　ﾟдﾟ). Thank you for the meal.

I stopped by my parents' house and had lunch here. Although the cut steak is popular, personally I'm not a fan of it... I chose the lamb meat (raw lamb meat) lunch instead. It was a great choice, delicious. My nephew and nieces were very satisfied with their kids' meals. One of my nephews even ordered cold noodles, and despite being in elementary school, he finished it without complaining about the spiciness.

Yesterday, I was glued to the NFL Draft from morning until the afternoon and couldn't go out for lunch, so I decided to have a hearty meat meal at North Hill Ito Garden. When I entered the restaurant, I found out that there are different spaces for eating either yakiniku or other dishes, so I chose yakiniku. Since I arrived almost at the opening time, the restaurant was quite empty. The seating was decent and the spacious area was comfortable. I debated between ordering a la carte or a lunch set, but I went with the lunch set which included rice, salad, soup, a soft drink (or miso soup), and coffee after the meal. I ordered the Kalbi set with additional a la carte items - pork belly and beef tongue. The food was served in about 5 minutes. The portions were quite generous. I might have ordered too much... The Kalbi, pork belly, and beef tongue all had decent portions. This place seems to be quite nice. The quality of the meat was really good and delicious. The Kalbi came with the restaurant's original dipping sauce, while I enjoyed the pork belly and beef tongue with the salt and pepper provided on the table. I had a satisfying lunch filled with deliciousness and a sense of contentment.

You can make a reservation on Hot Pepper, so I made a reservation for three people for our first visit. When making the reservation, you can choose between a steak seat or a yakiniku seat. Since I wasn't sure what to eat and didn't want to miss out on yakiniku, I reserved a yakiniku seat just in case. I ordered the steak bowl for 1,078 yen and vanilla soft serve ice cream for 308 yen. We arrived a little before the opening time, but the restaurant was already open. It was a bit confusing to figure out where to enter as it was crowded. I found the steak seats on the right and the yakiniku seats on the left. The restaurant is spacious. The restaurant opened quickly and the food was served super fast. They have a self-service system for water and coffee, and by the time I came back from getting them, the food was already served. There are various menu items, and they are quite affordable. I was tempted by the steak bowl, but I also considered the cut steak and Genghis Khan set. They also have ramen and sashimi set meals. The steak was tender and had a rich beefy flavor. The soft serve ice cream looked like soft serve, but it was delicious. It had cornflakes at the bottom, making it sweet and not too cold, so it's great for any season except summer. My companion had the yakiniku lunch set, which came with meat, rice, salad, pickles, and a choice of drink or miso soup, all for just under 1,000 yen. The service was efficient and the staff seemed busy. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

It's a unique restaurant with a mysterious appearance that looks like it slipped back in time to the Showa era. The dishes are excellent, especially the tomato sauce chicken. The chicken was tender, and the slightly spicy tomato sauce was delicious.

I ordered the 300g cut steak set with rice and miso soup. The cut steak was a bit tough, and the sauce was the main issue... It was a strange combination of doubanjiang or gochujang, and salty soy sauce, which didn't really complement the steak. It was disappointing. However, I managed to finish it all. Thank you for the meal.

Located along the Ibarato River near the border between Sapporo and Ishikari, this restaurant is near Gato Kingdom and has a spacious parking area, making it convenient to visit. The building is divided into two sections, with Ibarato Garden serving yakiniku on the left and North Hill serving steak on the right. We chose Ibarato Garden for yakiniku this time. The interior has a traditional atmosphere with many table seats. The yakiniku is cooked using a smokeless roaster at the table. You can order individual items or choose from the affordable lunch menu. We ordered the "Beef Kalbi Lunch (980 yen excluding tax)" and "Genghis Khan Lunch (780 yen excluding tax)" from the lunch menu, along with additional orders of "Beef Sirloin (750 yen excluding tax)" and "Salted Hormone (380 yen excluding tax)". For the Genghis Khan, you can choose marinated or raw lamb, and we chose raw lamb. The lunch menu includes rice, salad, pickles, and miso soup or a soft drink. The meat portions are around 150g, providing a decent amount for lunch, although I found it slightly lacking in quantity. The quality of the meat is decent for the price, and overall, it was tasty. With reasonable prices, this restaurant is a good choice for casual yakiniku or steak dining.

In June 2021, I visited a steakhouse with a striking Showa-era feel. I have been there twice this year. I am not a big fan of cut steaks, but I decided to try their popular menu item. It is processed meat, but it is easy to eat with a rich sauce that has no strong taste, and the rice goes well with it. There is a lot of beef fat.

It was a restaurant I had always wanted to visit. Finally, I arrived around 2 pm and the parking lot was full of cars! It's quite popular, isn't it? When you enter through the unique entrance, you'll find steak on the right and yakiniku on the left, allowing you to choose your preferred genre of food. I was there for the dice steak, so I went to the right. I ordered the dice steak for 880 yen, plus a set with rice, salad, and a drink for 300 yen. In conclusion, I really liked it. Especially the sauce! A separate small dish with sauce is brought to you. The sweet sauce with garlic and mustard, maybe gochujang? The sauce is incredibly delicious. The meat was also tender and satisfying.

Most of the customers around us seemed to be enjoying the all-you-can-eat Genghis Khan (Mongolian barbecue), but we decided to order individual items so we could try a variety of meats. We also wanted to try the steak, so we ordered the fillet steak cooked rare. It was served first and it was really rare! And incredibly tender, so delicious! The yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) options included a special set, combination set, Genghis Khan assortment, and discounted kalbi. The meat was all tender and tasty. We also had some beef tongue for seconds, so we ate twice as much as shown in the photos! A friend ordered the curry, which was flavorful and delicious with a good amount of spice. Only my friend and I could handle the spiciness, though! If we had more room in our stomachs, we would have been tempted to try the ramen too. We were able to make a reservation through Goto using Gurunavi.

I ordered a steak bowl for lunch. The meat was tender and cooked medium rare, which was delicious. However, the flavor was a bit light. The portion of rice was large, so it might be too heavy for some women. Also, the smell can stick to your clothes, so it's better to take precautions if you're concerned about that.

Meat! It's our first time dining out together after the self-restraint period. Probably, this will be the only time this month. Darin is quite sensitive to diseases and such, so honestly, she was a bit hesitant about this day (laughs). The restaurant was spacious, with a dining area and a barbecue area separated at the entrance. It was a weekend lunchtime, so the barbecue area was lively with voices. Since it was still early, the dining area was quiet, so we didn't have to worry about social distancing. The interior decorations were unique, with a lot of information coming from the items. I wonder if the owner collects them? Are they the type that attracts people? Just looking around until the food arrived made time fly by. And speaking of the food, it came out faster than I expected... For our order, we chose the Genghis Khan set meal. I had been craving barbecue in a place other than home, so based on Darin's recommendation of "Genghis Khan set meal or steak set meal, both are good," I chose the former. The dish arrived on a larger-than-expected iron plate, with seasoned Genghis Khan (you can also choose raw lamb) on top of bean sprouts. Sometimes the bean sprouts come while still not fully cooked, but as you eat, they get cooked later on. It's interesting, isn't it? When the restaurant is busy, they have to do things like that. "Today, it's cooked just right," he laughed. One notable thing is that even though it's seasoned, the sauce comes separately. As you eat, you realize that the sauce is necessary. There is a sauce for seasoning and maintaining freshness, and another sauce for enhancing the flavor. It's a two-pronged approach. Also, about the rice... Our rice at home is tastier... Hmm. It's just the right amount of rice to enjoy with the Genghis Khan, but hmm. Our rice at home is tastier. What a waste. The miso soup had shredded kelp in it. I want to try the raw lamb version and the other recommended dish, the steak set meal. I'm looking forward to the next visit.

Sapporo-Otaru Trip Day 2 Today we went on a smelt fishing tour from Sapporo to Ishikari by bus. We enjoyed smelt fishing in the river in front of Ipponmatsu Garden, then had lunch. The tour included lunch, so we had lunch at Ipponmatsu Garden. We were served delicious dishes like grilled salmon in foil, Ishikari soup, and butter-grilled scallops. It was tasty but a bit lacking, more like a bonus on the tour. Later, I found out it was a steak restaurant...

I had my first experience eating at the 1000 yen steak restaurant "North Hill Ibarato Garden" by Captain on July 16, 2017. I had known about this restaurant for about 25 years, passing by it many times, but had never actually dined there. Finally, my wish came true and I visited for the first time. The exterior and interior of the restaurant were cluttered with ornaments and signs, not very impressive at first glance. However, when I went inside, it was a Saturday afternoon and the spacious restaurant was almost full. I was honestly surprised to see how busy it was. I ordered the steak bowl, which cost around 1000 yen. When the dish arrived, the steak bowl looked very appetizing! The steak on top was nicely grilled on the outside and slightly rare on the inside, which was a good combination. The meat was tender and satisfying to eat! For 1000 yen, it was quite a good deal. I would like to make another visit with my university friends to enjoy a meal after sweating it out by the nearby river.

I was impressed by the cheap and delicious lamb cut steak. I recommend lamb over beef.

The ramen I had after ice fishing for smelt (^o^) was easy to eat. The table by the window was slightly tilted. It was an interesting retro-style building. Thank you for the meal♪
