I have been a fan of this place since I was a child. The food is delicious. When I visited recently, I went for lunch for the first time. They open at 12 pm, have a 30-minute time limit, and stop seating at 1 pm (according to my mother, so the details may be different). The restaurant was full even on a weekday, with a constant line of people waiting. It's amazing. The prices are surprisingly low. This place is going to be popular for sure. The food was still delicious as always. I will definitely visit again for dinner.

This review is about a visit to a local restaurant with a small gathering of members. The organizer took care of everything, from ordering to payment, and it was a meal where everything was left to them. Please note that the menu was for a banquet, so there were items not normally available. Drinks were all-you-can-drink. We started with a series of appetizers like kimchi, chijimi, namul, and then the main meat dishes arrived. The meat was of good quality, with various cuts like loin, belly, brisket, and tongue. The tongue was a bit small, but the taste was okay. The loin and belly were thick and delicious. We also drank a lot during the 90-minute all-you-can-drink period, almost feeling like unlimited drinks. After that, we ordered two items that are not reviewable and then added a special loin, which was really thick and extremely tasty. We had bibimbap as a rice dish, which was also delicious. For dessert, we were even served ice cream. It was a very satisfying drinking party with great food. The organizer took care of everything, so I am not sure about the cost, but among the barbecue restaurants I have recently visited, this one ranks quite high. Thank you for the feast!

This is my usual lunch. I was in the mood for meat, so I went to a quaint yakiniku restaurant called "Sumitei Nakahamaten" located on Imazatosuji, towards Shibino from Midohashi Station on the Osaka Metro. The weekday-only 1000 yen service lunch is popular, and there is a waiting list even before the 12 pm opening time. The service lunch is a set meal with no choice of cuts or volume, but additional items can be ordered from the regular menu. The meal includes bean sprout namul, Chinese cabbage kimchi, meat, vegetables, rice, and seaweed soup. The kimchi is generously coated with chili paste, giving it a slightly sour and less sweet taste, which I personally prefer. The namul consists of crunchy bean sprouts with a sesame oil flavor, complementing the meal well. The main meat dish was thinly sliced but well-presented, with a good balance of lean and red meat. The sauce was a light soy-based type, not too sweet, and perfect for the grilled meat. The meat, grilled over charcoal, had a nice aroma and was tender. I enjoyed mixing the kimchi and namul with the meat, creating a delicious bibimbap-like dish. Although the portion seemed small at first, it turned out to be quite filling and satisfying. The seaweed soup was also tasty, adding to the overall dining experience. This lunch perfectly satisfied my craving for meat, and I would definitely visit again to indulge in another satisfying meal.

I visited for lunch. Recently, it's been quite crowded during lunchtime, so I hadn't been, but today, it was before 1 pm, so there was only one group in the restaurant and I could relax. It's quite reasonable and always delicious. If the timing works out, I'd like to go for dinner as well once alcohol is allowed during lunchtime.

This is my usual lunch spot that I discovered during an expedition around the Mido-Suji Green Bridge Station in Osaka. It's a two-story, traditional-style standalone restaurant with bamboo blinds on the windows, resembling a udon or eel restaurant, but it's actually a yakiniku (grilled meat) place called "Matsuzakatei Nakahama-ten". For just 1000 yen, you can enjoy a slightly luxurious lunch experience. The restaurant doesn't look like a typical yakiniku place, with its traditional Japanese house appearance. It's located on the corner before the East Nakahama 2 intersection when heading towards Shigino and Kamino Yonchome from Mido-Suji Green Bridge Station. The exterior features bamboo blinds on the windows of a two-story building, giving off a vibe of an established udon or eel restaurant. The red curtain is a distinctive feature of the restaurant. Inside, there are four seats at a small raised table with a sunken kotatsu, and two tables with four seats each on the right side. The second floor seems to have a tatami room, but I'm not sure about the details. There used to be a main branch in the same area, but it's currently closed. However, there is a "Matsuzakatei Shinkan" along Imazato-Suji south of Chuo-dori. The popular weekday limited-service lunch special at Matsuzakatei Nakahama-ten is the yakiniku set meal for 1000 yen. Although I don't have all the details, it seems you can also add items from the regular menu. The service lunch yakiniku set meal includes stir-fried bean sprouts, napa cabbage kimchi, meat, vegetables, rice, and soup. The kimchi is moderately fermented with a balanced sweetness and tanginess, and the presence of many leafy parts is to my liking. The stir-fried bean sprouts are crunchy and appetizing with a hint of sesame oil. The meat is well-marbled and visually appealing, with a quality that seems higher than the price. The sauce is a smooth soy sauce-based type with just the right amount of sweetness. The meat, grilled over charcoal with a nice aroma, is tender and delicious. You can enjoy it by wrapping it in rice or mixing it with kimchi and stir-fried bean sprouts for a bibimbap-style experience. Although the portion may seem a bit small, the meal surprisingly leaves you feeling quite full and satisfied. The egg soup is also tasty, making it a slightly luxurious lunch that leaves you worried about your afternoon work. When I crave meat again, I will definitely revisit without hesitation. Despite being only open for ten minutes from noon, the restaurant quickly fills up, indicating its popularity among locals. It's a great find! Thank you for the delicious meal...

A high-quality meat restaurant where you can quietly enjoy your meal. The atmosphere is like a traditional Japanese house, giving off a high-end vibe, and the place is well-maintained. I visited with my baby, and they kindly prepared a private room on the second floor for us, which was much appreciated. We started with tongue sashimi (photo), followed by meat tataki, premium tongue with salt, and a platter of premium meats, allowing us to enjoy delicious meat in generous portions. I got so excited towards the end that I forgot to take photos of the appetizers and grilled stomach, but the sauces paired perfectly with the high-quality meat! I definitely want to visit this restaurant again!

I have always been going to this restaurant and everything I eat is delicious. I always start with the Negi Salad, Chisha Salad, Moyashi Namul, and Hakusai Kimchi. The meat is also clean and delicious. I recommend the Jo Shio Tan, Special Harami, Rosu, Tecchan, and Aka Sen. The fresh Senmai is also delicious with tasty sauce. I tried Kobukuro for the first time and didn't like it. The cold noodles are also delicious. It may not be cheap, but I think it's worth it.

Had a mini year-end party with friends at a yakiniku restaurant called "Shochikutei" near Midoribashi. This restaurant is a well-established place along Imazatosuji, with a new branch also located along Chuo-dori. The atmosphere of the place is quite elegant and charming. They offer a variety of drinks like beer, sake, shochu, makgeolli, and highball. As for the food, they serve a selection of namul, harami, tan, tetchan, tsurami, kalbi, and loin, all of which are delicious and reasonably priced. The restaurant seemed to be quite popular, as it was almost fully booked. It might be a good idea to make a reservation in advance. The staff, mostly locals, were a bit casual in their service, but overall, it's a popular spot in the area.

The beef tongue here is delicious and highly recommended. The portion of rice and beer is quite large, so you will be very satisfied.

I had delicious meat, but if I don't eat something suitable for my age, I feel full in my chest. A friend recommended me Negi salad and Abalone porridge, and they were delicious!

The quality of the meat here is exceptional, especially the tongue which sets it apart from other restaurants. When eating the tongue here, other restaurants' tongue feels like rubber (lol). The meat is so good that once you get used to this place, your kids might become too picky (lol). It can get a bit pricey when going with the family, but you won't feel like you wasted money. It's a place worth visiting when you have the budget.

You can get good quality meat at a great price. Saturdays seem to have the regular menu.

You can enjoy delicious yakiniku (grilled meat) here.

I came here for yakiniku. Although I used to pass by this place in the past, it was my first visit. The first floor has table seats, while the second floor has traditional tatami seating where you take off your shoes. The first floor has a bit of an aged look. The ventilation system seemed to be toned down, maybe out of consideration for the nearby residential area. I ordered a highball, oolong tea, chisha salad (sunny), premium salted tongue (frozen), premium harami, premium loin (sliced thinly like shabu-shabu), abalone porridge (with a mild liver taste). The salad had a strong flavor that paired well with alcohol and rice. The quality of the tongue and loin was good, with plenty of fat and marbling, making the thinly sliced pieces easy to eat and enjoyable. The sauce was different from the sauce-flavored one at Shin-Kan, more of a standard type. The service was efficient and we were able to enjoy our meal without any issues. The bill on the first floor came to around 9100 yen. The restaurant is located between Midoribashi and Shigino, closer to Midoribashi on Imazato-suji. That's the general impression I got.

For Sunday lunch visit, I didn't have lunch set but ordered a la carte. It was unusual to have cob croquettes, and they were beautifully crispy with a nice texture, very delicious. The kimchi had just the right level of spiciness and the meat was also incredibly tasty.

The exterior of the shop gave off a traditional, long-established vibe. Inside, there were two tables on the first floor and four seats in the tatami room. I ordered the lunch set for 950 yen. To start, I was served piping hot rice with plenty of kimchi and bean sprouts in soup. The freshly cooked rice was excellent! The kimchi had just the right amount of spiciness, and the bean sprouts were light and refreshing. The main meat dish included various cuts mixed together and marinated deliciously. Everything was tender and tasty. The sauce was soy sauce-based and slightly sweet, but it was delicious. I would like to visit again for dinner next time.

I have used this restaurant many times and quite liked it. However, this time, when compared to other yakiniku restaurants, the evaluation was a bit lower. It's not the restaurant's fault, but they no longer offer yukhoe (Korean beef tartare) and raw liver, which were essential menu items that had previously contributed to the restaurant's appeal. This change has somewhat diminished the restaurant's charm. I ordered the sirloin, which had excellent marbling. However, I felt that there was too much fat. The restaurant uses both charcoal and gas for grilling, which is fine, but there was too little charcoal, making the grilling uneven and slow. The chicken had too much chewiness. The bibimbap did not have gochujang (Korean chili paste) in it. The prices are high due to the use of brand beef, but considering the atmosphere and cooking methods, I cannot say it is reasonably priced.

[April 2011 Revisit] It had been a while since my last visit. I was feeling a bit anxious because I was planning to have my wisdom teeth removed, which meant I might not be able to eat delicious food for a while! So, I decided to go eat yakiniku with a colleague to cheer myself up. Coincidentally, my former boss, Manager S, who had transferred to Tokyo, was back in Osaka on a business trip. I invited him along, and we had a lively and hearty meal together. Manager S, who had been craving delicious food during his solo assignment, took charge and ordered a bunch of luxurious meats for us to enjoy. We grilled the meat diligently, but it was a feast of delicious meats once again. I really wanted to try the tongue sashimi that I had enjoyed last time, but unfortunately, it was not available this time. I was too busy grilling and eating, and with the boss present, I didn't take any photos, but I was very satisfied with the delicious meat once again. The salted tongue was delicious, and of course, the hormone meat was a favorite! As one gets older, one starts to appreciate hormone meat more than just regular meat. It's a bit far from both work and home, but I would love to go back to this restaurant again. Hopefully with the rich boss next time (laughs). It was delicious once again. [April 2009] A restaurant that my senior colleague has been taking me to for 5-6 years. It's a bit of a walk from the station, but it's always bustling and serves slightly expensive but delicious meat. There are other branches nearby, but for some reason, everyone seems to prefer this particular one. On this day, my companion was someone who enjoys taking care of others, so we left everything to their discretion. Here are the dishes I remember and the ones I took pictures of: - Tongue sashimi: I tried this for the first time here, and it was incredibly delicious. It had a beautiful pink color and melted in the mouth with a sweet taste. It was a completely different flavor and texture from grilled meat, and I was very satisfied. - Kobukuro: It was a bit surprising to see it served raw in an unusual state, but you can eat it raw or the recommended way is to lightly sear it before eating. I'm a fan of hormone meat, and although I found the raw version a bit challenging, it was delicious when grilled. - Salted tongue: It's not the typical thinly sliced, thawed-out tongue. It comes out in a beautiful flower shape, looking plump and delicious. I love tongue, so I enjoyed both the sashimi and grilled versions. - Negi salad: A surprising amount of green onions came out, perfect for a palate cleanser. - Various meats: Beautiful steak-like cuts of meat were served on plates. I think my boss ordered them, so they were probably all high-quality meats. Both the lean meat and hormone meats were delicious. The restaurant had the name of the cow from that day written outside, so I wonder if they buy the whole cow? It's a place where you can enjoy carefully selected meats. We had another person join us later, so we ordered even more dishes, and we were truly full by the end! We drank and ate a lot, so I think it was close to around 10,000 yen per person, but under normal circumstances, you can probably enjoy tastier meat at a slightly lower price. The delicious meat paired well with the drinks, and I was very satisfied. Thank you for the meal. Due to its location, I can't go there often, but it's a restaurant I would like to visit again.

This restaurant has been in business for many years. It is a relatively high-end yakiniku restaurant. The must-try items are the negi salad and kobukuro. All the meat, including the horumon, is delicious, but the quality of the lean meat and marbled meat is truly impressive. While the course menu is good, if you want to taste really high-quality meat, you should order a la carte. Be prepared for the high prices. The restaurant has a low rating on Tabelog, but I think it deserves a higher rating. The atmosphere is Japanese-style, with a traditional townhouse feel. However, it is not the trendy style seen lately, but rather a genuine, old-fashioned place.
