I thought it was a nationwide chain store, but it turned out to be a chain only found in the Kansai region, specifically in the northern part of Osaka. I have visited the Ikeda and Itami locations a few times. The Ikeda store, which is the closest and largest, is very convenient and I really like it. The Itami store is a bit small, and the Minoh store always seems to be full whenever I try to go. The Ikeda store is located right along the road as soon as you exit the Ikeda exit of the Hanshin Expressway Ikeda Line. There are also sushi restaurants and family restaurants scattered around, so this whole area is full of dining options. The Ikeda store has about 200 seats, I think. It's quite spacious. The exterior has a stylish glass design, and at first glance, it may not look like a yakiniku restaurant. The interior is also stylish with a log house feel, giving off a warm wooden atmosphere. The parking lot is large, and even during busy times on weekends, you can usually find a spot to park, so you can enter the store, write your name on the waiting list, and then wait in your car for your turn. Families and groups always gather on weekends, but the wait is manageable, and you get seated fairly quickly. The table seats are sunken kotatsu style, so even with 4-5 people, you can relax comfortably. The meat is reasonably priced yet of high quality. Even when you eat to your heart's content, you'll always be surprised at how affordable it is. Not just the meat, but the soup, bibimbap, cold noodles, and desserts are delicious too, so if you get tired of meat, you'll end up eating a lot of side dishes as well. If you're looking for a cheap all-you-can-eat yakiniku restaurant, I recommend paying a slightly higher price and going to this yakiniku restaurant!
