When I went back to Osaka, I visited with my club activities teammates. It was around 7 pm and the place was packed, so we had to wait for about 15 minutes. It was my first time at Eikatei since my student days. As working adults now, we ordered the all-you-can-eat meat course and unlimited soft drinks, which cost around 3500 yen per person. It was quite affordable! First, we were served tongue and assorted meats. Once we finished that, we could freely order more using a QR code on our phones, which was a modern touch. The meat was not as bad as I expected, it was decently tasty. Personally, I enjoyed the fatty cuts like harami and chuck flap tail. The skirt steak was mediocre. The side dishes like kimchi and Korean seaweed were also just okay. When I was a student, I thought this place was high-end, but now as a working adult, I see it as a budget-friendly option. I probably won't come back, but I hope it stays around for a long time.

This is a famous all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink yakiniku restaurant in Osaka. I have been to different branches before, but this was my first time at the Ishibashi branch. The basic concept of this restaurant is all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink. The cheaper course is around 3000 yen, and even the Mega Course with more options is only around 3500 yen. This time, I ordered the Mega Course, which allows you to order a variety of dishes. The quality of the meat is not the best, but considering the price, it is reasonable. In fact, with all-you-can-drink included, 3000 yen or 3500 yen is quite a good deal, don't you think? The soup, Korean seaweed, and kimchi are also decently tasty, so I would say they are at a usable level. Overall, I think this restaurant is good for students and young working adults who want to eat and drink a lot for a low price. However, surprisingly, there were quite a few older men there, haha.

I had the assorted rare cuts platter. The Zabuton was very marbled and melted in my mouth with a sweet, tender texture. The Sangara was thickly sliced with a great chewy texture and juicy, refreshing fat sweetness. The Shimtama and fine-grained meat were smooth, tender, and had an elegant, delicious taste.

The price was higher than what was written on the sign outside the store, so I pointed it out to the staff. They said it was the price listed on the menu. Well then, they should update the price on the sign too!

Well, the food at Jyu Jyu An is better than at Yagaji Juju'an.

It was very delicious and satisfying! The service from the staff was also great, so I highly recommend it! It's always crowded, so it's better to make a reservation in advance.
