I made a reservation and visited on the weekend. It was quickly full because it was the weekend. Some groups that didn't make a reservation had to leave without being seated. The oysters with butter were delicious (I'm sorry I don't remember the name). There were many types of lemon sours, and I was excited every time I looked at the menu to decide what to drink. However, the seat was near the entrance, so I felt cold the whole time. I would have been happy if there were blankets or something to keep warm.

I visited "Azabar Bamban Aso Store" on September 2nd. This was my first visit this year, with my last visit being on September 7, 2019, three years ago. We visited for dinner with 2 people at 8:30 PM. I made a reservation online 15 minutes before our visit, and it was amazing that we could still get a reservation for 15 minutes later. The restaurant is owned by Wonder Crew, the same company that owns the nearby Marla Parlor. They have taken over some locations from the bankrupted Charcoal Rich. The restaurant is located on a side street off the main street, so you wouldn't just stumble upon it, you have to consciously visit. When we entered, we noticed that quite a few seats were already taken. I think there were only about 2 seats at the counter and a table for 2 by the window available. We informed the female staff about our reservation and were seated at the counter. The staff, consisting of 4 members, seemed quite busy. We had reserved the 120-minute all-you-can-drink option for 990 yen (without beer) using a coupon. On the website, it was mentioned that you could add beer for an additional 300 yen, but the staff informed us that it had changed to 500 yen. Well, I don't drink beer, so it was fine, but they should inform customers properly. By the way, the condition for the all-you-can-drink option is that each person must order at least one food item, which is quite lenient. It had been a while since my last visit, and this time they had a system where you scan a QR code with your smartphone to place orders via the web. It's similar to ordering with a tablet at conveyor belt sushi restaurants or family restaurants, but in this case, you use your own device. I have experienced this ordering method at a few other places, but it seems to assume that everyone has a smartphone. I wonder if they accept verbal orders for those without smartphones? It seems like it would require a lot more staff and operations. For my first drink, I had the Barbal Lemon Sour, which is included in the all-you-can-drink menu. I tried to order all the drinks on the menu without any duplicates, but I ran out of time. For the food, we ordered: - Salmon Carpaccio (Half) for 759 yen - Beef Harami Steak with Onion Sauce for 1529 yen - Spicy Fried Burdock for 539 yen - Pickled Radish Potato Salad for 539 yen - Cucumber with Peperoncino for 319 yen - Boiled Edamame for 319 yen All the dishes were served at once, which almost didn't fit on the counter (laughs). I noticed that they had lamb chops on the menu, but unfortunately, they were sold out. The Pickled Radish Potato Salad was not what I expected, but the unique twist was excellent. I added some pepper to it, and the combination of the spices from the soup curry jelly and pickled radish was quite good. The Beef Harami Steak with Onion Sauce was a rare cut of harami, 200g. It had a unique elasticity and tenderness typical of harami. It was delicious. They could improve their operations a bit though. They brought us the wrong drink, so I informed the staff, "You brought the wrong drink, but if it's not a problem, we'll just have it." The staff replied, "Please go ahead," which was odd because they didn't think the drink was meant for another table. Eventually, 20 minutes later, the drink didn't arrive, and it turned out that it was meant for a different table... Meanwhile, two additional items we ordered hadn't been served to our table... One of them seemed like it would take a while, so we canceled it. We only ordered the Bamban Special Catalana for 539 yen. Maybe they just introduced the web order system? Thank you for the meal.

Trippa tomato stew 590, baguette 100, maitake and bacon ajillo 790, salmon and Hidaka cream cheese pizza 500, red sangria 390, otoshi (white sangria) 370. Total 3014. The staff were dressed up for Halloween.

In Asabaru Ban! Ban! in Kita-ku, Sapporo, the location is right near Asahikawa Station on the Namboku Line. The entrance is on the back side, so you need to be careful at first. I've been here many times, but it's been a while. It seems like there are more shops now compared to before, and it feels more normal. But it was still delicious as usual. Thank you for the meal.

I used this restaurant for a former workplace drinking party. I reserved a course with 2 hours of all-you-can-drink for 3500 yen using a coupon on Hot Pepper, but when it came time to pay... it was 3000 yen per person...? I also used a coupon for the organizer to be free, but no matter how I calculated it, it was 3000 yen... why (laughs)? Well, all the dishes were delicious so I'll let it slide (laughs). The smoked three kinds (mentaiko, cheese, quail egg), Caesar salad, seaweed and oyster ajillo, soy carpaccio, roast beef and potatoes, ikura and sea urchin pasta, and carbonara were all delicious. Especially the smoked mentaiko had a rich flavor and was very tasty. It's nice that the drink menu is extensive, and the yuzu beer is sure to be a hit with the ladies as it's on the sweet side! I had three glasses (laughs), and the sangria was also delicious with a strong fruity taste. It seems like the young girls didn't get full... so if you want to eat lightly and drink, I think this is a convenient place to go.

I used my Eat Point to pay for the meal, but everything was terrible from start to finish. I will never go back.

I forgot to take a picture of the meal. Thank you as always.

The bagna càuda was not great, but the foie gras and fillet steak, as well as the sea urchin and nori pasta, were delicious.

Casual, good value for money, nice atmosphere, suitable for small group gatherings, including branch locations in the drinking party list.

"I visited the restaurant on Saturday around 7 pm. It was a drinking date with a junior colleague from another job, but since I can't drink, I had soft drinks. I had made a reservation in advance through the Tabelog reservation service for a plan that included all-you-can-drink, and I ordered dishes like "Mayo Teriyaki Pizza," "Shrimp Ajillo," "Lamb Chops," and "Catalana." During the meal, we decided to extend the all-you-can-drink option for an additional 60 minutes. It cost us around 7,000 yen, so we could drink cheaply. The "Mayo Teriyaki Pizza" was only 500 yen and was delicious with a crispy crust and plenty of toppings. The "Shrimp Ajillo" was also tasty and had a generous amount of garlic. The "Lamb Chops" took quite some time to arrive, but it was worth the wait with its simple yet flavorful seasoning and tender texture. The "Catalana" dessert, with a lot of cream and a frozen custard-like texture, was a refreshing end to the meal. The restaurant was popular among people in their 20s and 30s, always crowded, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was lively, and the food was delicious, making it a great place for gatherings like girls' night out or group dates. They also served complimentary popcorn, which was unlimited and interestingly made from "explosive corn." Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience."

Today, my friend and I made a reservation for three people. We were told that only counter seats were available, so we decided to have a few drinks and leave. The complimentary popcorn was unlimited and had a slightly spicy flavor. I had a glass of red and white sangria, both of which were delicious. We ordered a Caesar salad, venison Bolognese pizza, and shrimp ajillo. The pizza was only 500 yen each, so it was a great deal! It's essential to make a reservation on weekends as it can get crowded.

I had always been curious about this bar. When I asked my husband where he wanted to go for his birthday, he immediately said "bar!" So we decided to go. Since we both love drinking, we used a coupon for a 980 yen all-you-can-drink deal. It seems to be quite popular, as more and more reserved customers kept coming in. The best drink was the sangria, both the red and white were very fruity. For food, we had the grilled oysters, which were plump and juicy! The oyster and seaweed ajillo went perfectly with the baguette! The rumored 500 yen pizza, at this price? It was so generous in size, but who's complaining, right? The foie gras and beef fillet Rossini was amazing!! This place is more suited for a lively group gathering rather than a quiet, slow drink.

Drinks and yakitori in Asao. Beer and grilled chicken. I'm already full! But I want to go to a second party... So, I used it for the second party. The location may be a bit hard to find for those who don't live around here. The restaurant is located behind a main street. There is a sign indicating "this way" from the main street. I went on a Saturday, and by 9 o'clock it was already full. There were a lot of young people. Since I ate a lot during the first party, I only ordered drinks and snacks, but they were delicious even though I was full! The pizza was thin, so I could eat it easily. Next time, I want to have the first party here and try various menu items. Thank you for the meal~♫ By the way, a simple question... Asao is pronounced as "asa"bu, but the restaurant is "a"zabar. I wonder why??

Welcome! Located in a side street off the bustling district of Asao in Kita-ku, this Banban-affiliated restaurant is surprisingly popular with young people even on weekdays, with the place being fully booked. The L-shaped counter, raised tables, and flexible interior create an Italian bar atmosphere, and the staff seamlessly blend into the ambiance. Despite having other branches, the reason for coming all the way here is to meet the head chef, Oga-chan. Known as the expert head chef of the Banban group, his performance comes highly recommended. The manager, currently at the restaurant, welcomes you. Start with a Shandy Gaff and enjoy the marinated salami and cabbage, followed by quail and duck skewers. When you order the Tapas Assortment, get ready for a variety of dishes like smoked duck, Mimolette cheese, Milano salami, Camembert, blue cheese, smoked scallops, olives, and homemade pickles. Each item is fresh and crunchy, with the blue cheese being a standout. Pair it with a Kir to complete the experience. The beef fillet foie gras Rossini is tender and melts in your mouth, complemented by the smoothness and sweetness of the foie gras. The baguette from the Tapas Assortment is perfect for wiping up the sauce. Despite being tucked away in a side street, the vibrant Italian bar atmosphere attracts a high percentage of female customers. Thank you for the delicious meal!

[Revisit] May 2015, Azabarban! Bang! in Kita-ku, Sapporo. This time, I visited on a Sunday. The dishes I ordered this time were the luxurious whole lobster with mayo, roasted chicken, devil-style foie gras and beef fillet Rossini, Margherita pizza, various vegetable pizza, Italian risotto with Parmigiano, shrimp and snow crab tomato cream pasta, Caesar salad, panna cotta, and a regular gelato. Even as an adult, I still want to eat parfaits! They also have an Italian-style parfait. I ordered a wide range of dishes from the classic lobster with mayo to pizza, pasta, risotto, and dessert, and enjoyed them all. Thank you for the meal.

We went to a drinking party at Asao with a large group of people because we saw the advertisement photo. I chose the course that cost 3480 yen for 3 hours according to the coupon. The atmosphere of the restaurant was stylish, and I was particularly interested in the grilled oysters on the blackboard menu. Since I don't often go to Asao, I would like to try using the coupon next time if I have the chance to come again.

I had been curious about this restaurant every time I passed by it. It didn't look very spacious from the outside, so I made a reservation and decided to check it out. I used a Hot Pepper coupon to get a drink all-you-can for 980 yen. I ordered a handsome sparkling wine to start. The appetizer of the day was crispy burdock fritters, which were crunchy and snack-like. The handsome sparkling wine had a taste that I didn't really like, as it was like wine mixed with carbonated water. I was looking forward to the Lobster Ebi Mayo, and it did not disappoint with its fluffy batter and delicious sauce. The Quattro Formaggi pizza with four types of cheese was a great deal at 500 yen and went well with the wine. The Foie Gras and Beef Fillet Rossini was another menu item I was excited about, and it was delicious with the rich foie gras. For dessert, we ordered Tiramisu and Panna Cotta, both of which were tasty, although the Tiramisu was a bit on the sweet side. The Panna Cotta was smooth and easy to eat. The portions were quite generous, so we couldn't try all the dishes. Overall, the food was very delicious, and I would like to try more items on the menu next time. However, the service was a bit lacking in coordination among the staff, and I hope it improves by my next visit. (Note: Despite requesting the bill, a different staff member approached us saying it was time to settle the bill, which was a bit off-putting.)

I went to this restaurant after seeing Zin's review♪♪ It used to be a Genghis Khan & shabu-shabu all-you-can-eat restaurant called "Asao 3-chome". It is located behind "Takadaya" on the main street. You can only enter from the back street. I visited just before 6 pm on Friday after making a reservation. On Fridays, the time limit is 2 hours. The all-you-can-drink option is 1580 yen, but I used a coupon from Hot Pepper to get it for 980 yen for 2 hours. I started with a beer (Classic) for the first drink, and then switched to red wine. They had three types of red wine, and I chose the heaviest one, the Lussandor Rouge (France). Each time I ordered, they brought a bottle and told me to stop when I had enough, which was convenient for my fast pace of drinking. I had about 4 glasses of wine, I think. The appetizer was a variety of fried vegetables. I couldn't resist the pizza for 500 yen, so I ordered the "Prosciutto and Arugula Pizza" for 500 yen. The thin crust pizza with cheese and arugula was delicious. The "Plump Shrimp Ajillo" for 580 yen came with 6 shrimps sizzling in oil. I ordered the bread for free to enjoy the oil. The "Addictive Onion Cabbage" for 380 yen turned out to be an onion sauce that was indeed addictive. The "Tapas Assortment" for 1000 yen included green olives, vegetable marinade, smoked gizzards, and a selection of salami. The "Simple Carbonara" for 880 yen was simple but rich. I forgot to take a photo at first, but the actual portion was larger. The "Regular Mixed Nuts" for 280 yen came in a generous portion. I love these corn nuts. It rained all day that day, but on my way back, I noticed the restaurant was almost full, indicating its popularity. The spacious interior makes it suitable for gatherings like girls' night out. I definitely want to go back again♪♪
