Nice to meet you, Yakiniku Lab! Opened on September 28, 2019, Yakiniku Lab is located about a 3-minute walk from Higashi-Umeda Station. I heard from friends that Lab is really delicious, so I went to try it out right away. The location is very convenient, making it easy to visit after work. The restaurant has a stylish atmosphere with counter seats, table seats, and private rooms. This time, we had a feast where we could eat and drink as much as we wanted. We enjoyed dishes such as premium sirloin (limited to 5 servings), assorted meats, Yakiniku rice, seared liver with sesame oil and salt, kimchi and namul platter, Chorogi salad, Sakura Yukke, luxurious Kimpa with seafood collaboration, palate-cleansing sherbet, gateau chocolate, and caramel pudding. The limited premium sirloin was incredibly tender and delicious. The meats melted in our mouths, and the Uni and Ikura were fresh and tasty. The liver was seared rare and delicious with sesame oil and salt. The kimchi, namul, and Chorogi salad were so delicious that we had to ask for seconds. The luxurious Kimpa with Uni and Ikura was a must-try. The desserts at Yakiniku Lab were also delicious, with a smooth pudding and rich gateau chocolate. The staff were friendly and made our dining experience enjoyable. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience at Yakiniku Lab.

Yes, it's meat time! "Yakiniku Lab" This day, I wanted to eat delicious meat, so I revisited "Yakiniku Lab," which I had visited before and enjoyed. When it comes to a delicious and cost-effective yakiniku restaurant in Umeda, this is the place to go! Despite visiting during off-peak hours, the restaurant was bustling with customers, showing its popularity. This time, I ordered a la carte menu items. Here are the dishes we enjoyed: - "Tamburian" 1,980 yen: A rare cut from the tongue, known as the specialty of Yakiniku Lab. It's tender, juicy, and has a unique flavor that is hard to describe. - "Wagyu Otoro Aburi Sashi" 1,080 yen: Lightly seared Wagyu beef that melts in your mouth like Otoro (fatty tuna)! - "Nikura" and "Uniku" each 520 yen: The combination of meat, sea urchin, and salmon roe is surprisingly delicious! - "Thick-cut liver" 800 yen: Fresh thick-cut liver that is incredibly tasty! - "Special Kalbi" 1,380 yen and "Special Sirloin" 1,280 yen: Both cuts are tender and have excellent meat quality!

On August 28, 2023, in Osaka Umeda, I visited Yakiniku Lab Umeda located at 2-10-21 Sonezaki, Kita-ku, Osaka. This restaurant offers a premium dining experience with individual rooms where you can enjoy the finest Japanese beef. They can accommodate groups of up to 65 people for their all-you-can-eat menu featuring black wagyu beef and premium meat sashimi. They also offer a drink all-you-can menu with 70 varieties including Kirin Ichiban Shibori and Fruit Makgeolli. During my visit, I tried: - Chorogi Salad: A perfect appetizer for the all-you-can-eat meat, refreshing and delicious. - Lab Special!! Firework Meat Cake: A two-tiered meat platter with sparklers, offering a variety of meats that pair well with rice. - Uni-Ku: A combination of sea urchin and meat, topped with salmon roe on Korean seaweed. - Kimchi: Cabbage and yam kimchi, incredibly tasty and addictive. - Egg Soup: A gentle and comforting way to end the meal, helping to cleanse the palate. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience at Yakiniku Lab Umeda. Thank you for the delicious meal! #YakinikuLabUmeda #YakinikuLab #Yakiniku #GrilledMeat #UmedaYakiniku #UmedaGrilledMeatLunch #OsakaGrilledMeat #UmedaLunch #UmedaDinner #UmedaDate

The meat tower was such a surprising surprise!!! I was so shocked!!! It was my first time having a meat tower and the meats were delicious. You marinate them in sauce before grilling, and as someone who likes strong flavors, it was the best (even though it burns easily). After eating lots of meat, the egg soup was delicious too. It was so healing and relaxing!!!笑

I checked out the restaurant on Instagram and was surprised because it was very different from what I had imagined based on the high-quality photos. It was similar to a chain restaurant's buffet, so I was disappointed. However, the tataki (seared fish) was beautiful and delicious. I thought it was unique and appealing that they included sashimi in their buffet.

The menu was extensive and they offered all-you-can-eat options. The quality of the food was also very high! I was amazed to see sea urchin included in the all-you-can-eat menu! The owner was very friendly and the atmosphere of the restaurant was very comfortable.

"When you don't know what to eat, I highly recommend it! New specialty! Lab Mix 5,480 yen! The atmosphere inside the restaurant is nice, with the sound of the staff's laughter echoing in the bright restaurant. Osaka/Umeda "Yakiniku Lab Umeda Store" New specialty! Lab Mix 5,480 yen - Tongue brian / Thick tongue / Upper Harami / Upper lean special Kalbi / Premium loin / Grilled vegetable assortment A la carte - Upper Negi Salt Tongue 1,280 yen - All-you-can-drink 1,500 yen - Table charge 450 yen Foreigners and first-time visitors to the restaurant highly recommend the Lab Mix, which is a great combination of the best items! And of course, everyone loves tongue❤️ It seems that the tongue has an almost 100% order rate at this restaurant as well♡ Please try it! It was delicious♡ Thank you for the meal⸜(*ˊᵕˋ*)⸝."

I went to the restaurant "Yakiniku Lab Umeda". This time, I ordered the popular Lab Mori for 5,480 yen. It may be a bit pricey, but I believe it's worth it. It includes thick-cut tongue, top harami, premium kalbi, and other irresistible cuts for yakiniku lovers. Not only that, the assortment of vegetables is delicious, allowing for a well-balanced meal. I also took advantage of the all-you-can-drink option for 1,500 yen, which I found quite a good deal with a variety of drinks like beer, sours, and fruit liquor available for self-ordering. The interior of the restaurant is stylish and clean, especially with chic decor that creates a welcoming atmosphere even for women. It's perfect for occasions like girls' night out or dates, attracting a wide range of customers from young to middle-aged. However, it's worth noting that despite being partially non-smoking, smoking is allowed in the restaurant. In terms of budget, it's a bit on the higher side, but I believe the experience justifies the cost. It's a great choice for special occasions or when you want to indulge a little.

I visited a restaurant called "Yakiniku Lab Umeda" in Umeda for the first time. I had previously visited their Shinsaibashi branch, but this time I was curious about the "meat cake" at the Umeda branch, so I visited on a weekday for lunch. The restaurant was bustling, but I managed to get a seat without waiting. I ordered the Meat Cake 2-tier for 6,000 yen, rice for 350 yen, and the all-you-can-eat salad appetizer for 450 yen. The Meat Cake was unlike anything I had seen before, with four types of meat (Golden Kalbi, lean meat, loin, and Kalbi) beautifully arranged like a cake. Each type of meat was tender and delicious, especially when I quickly grilled the Golden Kalbi and ate it Sukiyaki-style. The all-you-can-eat option offers 100 items for 5,000 yen, and the all-you-can-drink option is 1,500 yen, making it a great value for money.

Sunday afternoon visit. I had made a reservation so I was able to enter smoothly. It seemed to be about 80% full. The Yukke for all-you-can-eat seemed to be slightly seared. There was also a luxurious combo called Uni Kura, which includes sea urchin, salmon roe, and meat for all-you-can-eat! The cold noodles for the finale were also delicious ^_^

Reasonably priced all-you-can-eat menu ordered. The kalbi, harami, and hormone dishes were decently delicious. There is a wide variety of side dishes such as desserts and kimchi. Unfortunately, the ventilation is not great, and the inside of the restaurant can feel greasy and oily. When leaving, clothes and entire body feel sticky. It is rare for a yakiniku restaurant to have this issue. Also, you can only order up to two plates per person at a time, which can be inconvenient as it is difficult to find items on the smartphone menu for ordering.

On the first floor is "Yakiniku Gang Umeda Branch" as a landmark. If you take the elevator up to the third floor of the same building, you will find "Yakiniku Lab Umeda Branch". Teoteo, who loves yakiniku, is happy to find a yakiniku restaurant that serves lunch. A housewife wants to go for yakiniku with friends for lunch, but prefers to eat at home at night. A friend recommended revisiting, so I was guided there. They have an all-you-can-eat menu, but you can also order a la carte. It was quite crowded even on a weekday afternoon. Here are the dishes we tried: - Chorogi Salad all-you-can-eat for ¥450 per person - Draft beer for ¥500 (for me) and Oolong tea for ¥380 (for my friend) - New specialty "Lab Mix" for ¥5,480, which includes various high-quality meats and grilled vegetables - Negi-wrapped tongue for free (Instagram DM reservation benefit) - Golden Kalbi - Large thinly sliced marbled beef for ¥1,280 - Yakiniku rice with egg on top for ¥550 - Mandarin orange sake for ¥700 as a dessert alternative Overall, the food was delicious and we enjoyed our meal at Yakiniku Lab Umeda Branch.

On this day, I visited "Yakiniku Lab Umeda" located on the 3rd floor of a building in a slightly off-the-beaten-path area from the Oe-Tenjin shopping street in Osaka. The restaurant offers a variety of seating options including counter seats, table seats, and private rooms, making it suitable for colleagues and students alike. The all-you-can-eat and drink option allows you to enjoy plenty of food and drinks while having a great time. The recommended dish for the day was the "New Specialty!! Yakiniku Lab Assortment" priced at 5480 yen, which includes premium kalbi, top harami, select loin, thick-cut red meat tongue, and vegetables. The quality of the meat was excellent, and the flavors were rich, making it a great value for the price. The thick-cut red meat tongue, in particular, was tender, flavorful, and had a great texture. The top harami was also delicious with no unpleasant odor, a good bounce, and a fresh taste. The premium kalbi had a beautiful marbling, tender meat, and a sweet taste of fat, making it irresistible. Overall, everything was delicious, and at 5480 yen, it was definitely worth it. If you're looking for a yakiniku restaurant in Umeda, Yakiniku Lab is a must-visit. Thank you for the meal. - Restaurant Information - - Name: Yakiniku Lab Umeda - Location: 2-10-21 Sonezaki, Kita-ku, Osaka, 530-0057, 3rd floor of the Kawai Building - Phone: 06-6809-6225 - Website: https://yakinikulab.owst.jp - Instagram: @yakiniku_lab - Recommended for - - Solo dining: Yes - Date: Yes - Friends gathering: Highly recommended - Family: Highly recommended - Business dinner: Highly recommended

I tried the new special dishes "Lab Mori" and "Golden Kalbi Yakiniku-style". The Lab Mori was luxurious and impressive! It included top harami, select loin, premium kalbi, top red meat, thick-cut tongue, tongue brian, and various vegetables. The colors were beautiful, the meat was tender, and it was truly delicious. The Golden Kalbi Yakiniku-style, when eaten with the egg yolk, was amazing.

On this day, I was taken to "Yakiniku Lab" by a friend, and as soon as we sat down, a surprise meat cake for my birthday was brought out by my friend (lol). According to my friend, depending on the number of people, they can make a two-tier cake! I want to see that! This yakiniku restaurant allows you to order by scanning a QR code with your smartphone! I indulged a little and had the Tanbrian, which was thick, tender, and absolutely delicious ✨ The other meats were also delicious and satisfying. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but it didn't bother me much.

【Yakiniku Lab】The must-try item at this restaurant is the new specialty Lab platter! If you want to enjoy higher quality meat, go for individual items. If you want to try a variety of dishes, go for the all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink option. Perfect for day drinking too! For first-time visitors to Yakiniku Lab, start with the Instagram DM reservation bonus of Negi Shio Wrapping Tongue! Thick and delicious~ The Lab platter for ¥4980 is a sight to behold with Tongue, Thick-Cut Tongue, Special Sirloin, Premium Kalbi, Top Harami, Top Lean, and 3 types of grilled vegetables all served in a large dish. When in doubt about what to order, this is the one to go for! I found a restaurant where you can enjoy delicious yakiniku even during lunchtime ♥ Location: 3rd Kawai Building, 2-10-21 Sonezaki, Kita-ku, Osaka, Osaka Access: 3 minutes on foot from Subway Higashi-Umeda Station Opening hours: 12:00-23:00 ▶️ This account mainly posts about gourmet food in Kita, Osaka.

Yukke is also all-you-can-eat! They even have sea urchin meat! I went with 4 friends to this all-you-can-eat yakiniku restaurant that felt like a great deal. We opted for the 120-minute premium all-you-can-eat (with all-you-can-drink) for 6000 yen (5000 yen with a reservation on Tabelog). The ordering was done through a smartphone app with a QR code, limited to 2 items per person. You could only order the next item after finishing what you had ordered before. Let's eat! However, the app interface was not user-friendly and the portion size of each item was small, making the 2-item limit a bit of a hassle. It was difficult to order quickly. As for the meat, the Japanese beef was delicious with a good amount of fat. Eating it Sukiyaki-style with egg was also great! The sea urchin meat was just a small amount (but I guess that's expected for all-you-can-eat). Maybe because ordering was a bit time-consuming, we couldn't eat as much as we wanted, but even without eating any rice, we left feeling full. It was a fun and satisfying meal with friends. Thank you for the feast.

If you want to eat delicious high-quality wagyu yakiniku in Umeda for lunch, I recommend this restaurant! We had a 100-item, 120-minute all-you-can-eat with all-you-can-drink alcohol for only 5000 yen. The meat quality is great and the cost performance is amazing. You can enjoy fresh wagyu yakiniku, as well as tan yukke, wagyu yukke, heart sashimi, and more! I love raw food, so the uni (sea urchin) was amazing. Even though it's all-you-can-eat, the quality is so good that it's almost worrisome. There are many choices for the finale, and this time I chose cold noodles, which were also delicious. The alcohol includes Kirin Ichiban beer and various types of makgeolli, all included in the all-you-can-drink course. The selection is great and the yakiniku is delicious, which is rare. The à la carte menu also looks delicious, so I want to go back for the tongue brian and sirloin steak next time. It was so satisfying to enjoy yakiniku and alcohol to the fullest from lunchtime, I felt so happy. The staff at the restaurant were also very lively and fun. It seems that Yakiniku Lab Namba will also open in May, so I would like to visit there too.

Located about a 3-minute walk from the 4th exit of Higashi-Umeda Station on the Tanimachi Line, in the heart of a bustling area with numerous dining options, is "Yakiniku Lab," a popular spot known for its fresh wagyu beef all-you-can-eat and a la carte options with excellent value for money. During my visit for lunch, I tried the recommended dishes. The Hanabi Ichidan Mori is lit at the table for a vibrant presentation, featuring high-quality meats that not only look impressive but also taste amazing. The Tan Yukke combines chewy tongue with a dazzling egg yolk for a visually stunning and delicious dish. The Tan tasting platter offers a luxurious selection of various tongue flavors. The Kimchi Namul Assortment brings together a variety of vegetables for a refreshing side dish. The Golden Kalbi is a must-try menu item, with sweet kalbi that cooks quickly and pairs perfectly with egg yolk. The Negi Shio Tan, a reservation-only special, features thick slices of tongue topped with plenty of chopped green onions. The Frozen Lemon Sour and the Chunky Lime Sour are cute drinks that cater to the needs of the times. The restaurant on the 3rd floor of the building has a relaxing atmosphere with natural light streaming in through the windows. The spacious seating options include counter seats, tables, and private booth-like spaces, catering to solo diners and groups alike. The satisfaction level of both the all-you-can-eat and a la carte menu items, which are not only high in quality and quantity but also photogenic, is impressive. Despite its casual and laid-back feel, the staff provide exceptional hospitality with attentive and thoughtful service. This is a top recommendation for enjoying delicious yakiniku and drinks in the Higashi-Umeda area from lunchtime onwards.

This time, I ordered the anniversary course and individual menu items that are perfect for celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. The main message with the meat platter was top quality meat with excellent freshness and flavor. It was a platter with various cuts of meat for comparison, and the fireworks display was a nice touch. The thick-cut beef tongue was thick yet tender with plenty of flavor. The luxurious combination of kinpa and seafood collaboration included sea urchin, salmon roe, and seared yukhoe. The limited quantity of domestic heart sashimi had a light flavor and a unique texture that was irresistible. It was also perfect as a snack with alcohol. The meal ended with chewy cold noodles and dessert, leaving me completely satisfied. [Menu Ordered] - Anniversary Course with 120-minute all-you-can-drink: 5,000 yen * Meat platter with two tiers: additional 1,000 yen per person [Individual Menu Items] - Domestic Heart Sashimi: 780 yen - Cold Noodles: 780 yen

We used it for a company drinking party. They offer a premium all-you-can-eat course with 100 different dishes. It was affordable at around 6,000 yen per person with all-you-can-drink included. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was lively, with many foreigners. Ordering was easy as it could be done contactless by scanning a QR code. The beef intestine (senmai) was particularly delicious.

All-you-can-eat yakiniku restaurants often have cheap quality meat, but you don't have to worry about that here. It's a self-cook style, so you can order what you want and eat as much as you like. The portion size is just right for one person, and they have a wide variety of options. They also offer a lot of drink options for all-you-can-drink. It seems like they have continuous business hours based on what I saw. Personally, I recommend trying the "Bakudan Katamari." If you're not a big eater, they also have individual menu items available. The counter seating makes it easy for solo diners to enjoy yakiniku. Overall, it's a great atmosphere at this restaurant.
