I looked at the lunch menu and saw that they had ramen and cold noodles, so I decided to order. It took a while to make the order, so I felt very hungry and thought it took a long time. Compared to fast food chains and family restaurants that are more efficient, it is understandable that it takes a bit longer, but in reality, it doesn't take that long. The Kalbi Ramen had noodles and soup that I had never tried before. It seemed different from typical Japanese ramen. It was softer compared to thick ramen, and the soup was more like Chinese style. The Bibimbap was served in a separate dish because it was hot. It was similar to the typical Bibimbap.

There were four types of meat totaling 200 grams, with thick-cut steaks piled high. It's difficult to cook the thick meat just right. This was my second time having lunch here, so I knew the drill and had the self-serve water ready, and each meat was cooked perfectly. The meat was very delicious, but once it cooled down, it became tough to chew and hard to bite through.

I always get too hungry for lunch, so I often eat at places like beef bowl restaurants, but I decided to change things up and try the lunch service at a yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) restaurant. All-you-can-eat is not really my style, so the lunch service was perfect for me. There is no elevator, so I took the stairs, which wasn't too difficult. I made a reservation for a seat and ordered using a tablet. You have to decide whether you want to order drinks after your meal or not before you can place your order. I also got a free upgrade to a large portion of rice. The kalbi set was much more delicious and cost-effective compared to the kalbi sets at beef bowl restaurants and teppanyaki restaurants. While I enjoy grilling my own meat at yakiniku restaurants, it can be a bit of a hassle. The rice was cooked in a clay pot, and the Wakame seaweed soup, a staple at yakiniku restaurants, along with the kimchi, tasted much better than what I usually get at beef bowl restaurants. I wonder if it's just my imagination that the kimchi tastes better here than at beef bowl restaurants?

I was satisfied with the all-you-can-eat lunch for around 2,000 yen. Although I didn't have high expectations for the meat, the side menu options like salad, soup, kimchi, udon, and rice bowls filled me up. I would consider going back if the restaurant was cleaner.

I felt like going to an all-you-can-eat yakiniku restaurant, so I visited "Jukusei Yakiniku Ichiban Tatsumi Store". I arrived on a Sunday at 3:20 pm and saw a few young male staff members, but no one greeted me. I ordered the lunch all-you-can-eat course. The price on weekends and holidays is 2178 yen including tax, which is quite affordable. The first thing served was a platter of meat, and after that, you order using a touch panel. The meat takes quite a while to come out, probably due to the lack of staff at this time. Sometimes, the orders don't go through. I had to order the rice in a pot twice before it finally arrived, and the grill was also replaced after the second order. The speed at which the same menu items come out varies greatly, making it difficult to pace yourself while eating. The quality of the meat is average for the price. Even though it takes a while for the food to come out, with 100 minutes available, you end up getting more than enough to eat. There is no tongue, but the main focus is on kalbi, so it's a lineup that kalbi lovers can enjoy. Personally, I also like the deep-fried shrimp dumplings. Thank you for the meal.
