I went out for lunch and chose an all-you-can-eat option because I wanted to eat a lot of meat. The meat exceeded my expectations, and I think I'd like to return for this price. I was also considering another place called Anrakutei nearby, but since it was my first time at this restaurant, I decided on Hanaentai. I later found out that both are part of the same group, but I found the meat here to be better. It seemed that not many people order all-you-can-eat for lunch, and when I mentioned it was my first time, they recommended a set meal and informed me that rice and namul are also available for unlimited servings. The lunch menu is quite appealing, so I want to try that next time.

I came back because the cost performance is great. The general rating is 3.06, which isn't very good, but the lunch is cheap and delicious, so I'm recommending it. The tongue lunch is 986 yen and includes rice, soup, and all-you-can-eat bean sprouts. Plus, you get 120g of high-quality tongue cuts. Other lunch options are decent too, but if you can get beef tongue for under 1000 yen, there's really no other choice! I recommend going now before prices go up.

I went out for lunch with my senior. The restaurant offered a double serving of beef with free refills of namul, soup, and rice. Additionally, there was a drink bar for 150 yen. I was satisfied with the service. However, the meat was terrible. It was not tasty at all, with too much fat and full of sinew. Some parts were tough and difficult to chew. I definitely won’t be going back.

The motsu nikomi (braised offal) included in the course was delicious. The toro-uma gyutan (thick slices of beef tongue) was quite thick. However, it took a long time for the meat to arrive after ordering, and by the time it came, I had already finished my rice. A hungry boy finished his rice with Korean seaweed and a gyutan hamburger before the meat arrived. It was disappointing. It would have been better if the meat had come a little faster. But the soft serve ice cream was included in the all-you-can-eat option, so I really enjoyed that for dessert at the end. The meat was also tasty. I'm interested in trying the lunch menu too.

During Obon, my plan is to go to a fishing gear shop in Adachi and then visit someone in the hospital. Adachi is a district reminiscent of a scene from "Hokuto no Ken," where you need to be cautious, as there are various things that can happen. You really have to lock your motorcycle case. Given it's that kind of area, I'm also expecting good meat dishes. There’s a place I've been curious about near Tanaka Shoten. At the intersection of Kan-nana, there’s a yakiniku (grilled meat) all-you-can-eat place with a sign stating 4,150 yen for all-you-can-eat and lunch sets starting from 780 yen. Since eating all-you-can-eat at lunch is tough, I decided on a lunch set, but I was a bit anxious about being in Adachi. The staff all had red and purple hair, mostly young girls. At least there weren’t any mohawks! However, when I looked at the menu, I saw the recommended lunch: beef tongue lunch with 120g for 968 yen, including rice, bean sprouts, namul, and seaweed soup—all you can eat. Plus, you get a free drink bar for signing up on LINE for the first time. This is it! When it arrived, it was even better than the picture. Although it was on the smaller side, this was definitely high-quality tongue. Having worked part-time at a yakiniku restaurant in Ueno for two years, I could tell that. For 120g, the portion felt generous. Also, charcoal-grilling was a huge plus, and for under 1,000 yen, it was fantastic. The taste was amazing—miso-flavored tongue. If I had the time, I could eat three bowls of rice with just the beef tongue. The salad and kimchi were also decent, the soup was average, and the bean sprouts and namul were okay, while the pickled onions were so-so. Ratings: Taste 85, Price 100, Atmosphere 80. Overall, I think this lunch is one of the top three in terms of cost-performance for grilled meat in Adachi. If there were one near my workplace, I would go every day.

The restaurant has replaced the old shichirin and has a brighter interior, with window-side tables for two. I wondered what the lunch would be like, and I decided to try the harami instead of the cheapest option, which was kalbi, as I anticipated it would be heavy on the stomach. The soup was customizable, similar to the system at Anrakutei. At the beginning, you could choose either white rice or mixed grain rice, and afterward, you can take as much white rice as you want from the self-service area. You have to help yourself to the namul from the start, and the sauces available are sweet, spicy, and sesame. It’s a hassle that you have to ask the staff for lemon juice. When the harami arrived, its color looked a bit off, but it was thick! There was no unpleasant smell, which was a relief. The salad had a dressing reminiscent of Indian cuisine, and the wakame soup was surprisingly good! The second serving tasted richer than the first. I found the mixed grain rice unappetizing with an off-putting taste and texture, so I gave up halfway and went for more white rice, which was delicious and not soggy at all! The namul was mediocre – neither good nor bad. Using a coupon allowed me to enjoy a free drink bar, which had a great variety of options! I especially appreciated the availability of Pepsi! The kimchi was salty but not spicy.
