I had a business trip from Wakkanai to Asahikawa for 2 nights and 3 days, and on the second night, I went to this place for the fourth time in a row. If I were with someone, they would probably say, "You've been here so many times already!" But the taste of the meat here is really addictive. I had a lemon sour and two sets of shoulder loin. Even though I was already full by the third place, this shoulder loin easily found its way into my stomach. It has no odor, no strong taste, just the deliciousness of lamb spreading in my mouth. And then a sip of lemon sour. Ah, so happy! The key to lamb is not to overcook it. It's just right when it's medium rare. I finished it all in no time and was completely satisfied. Ah, when can I go again? I want to go and eat again! I really hope they expand to Tokyo soon. (At the same price)

We made a reservation for three people with our work colleagues at 4:30 pm on Friday. Reservations can only be made by phone from 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm, and the time slot is limited to 1.5 hours. We arrived 5 minutes early and there was already a crowd outside the restaurant. Those without reservations were asked to check in using a touch panel outside. We were seated on the second floor after a short wait. We ordered beer, the most popular set, and rice. Vegetables were provided as a complimentary set. The meat arrived after about 10 minutes. The staff taught us how to cook the meat properly. The pork shoulder was the most popular and very tender and delicious. The lamb chops were also tender and tasty. The rice was delicious, and although some of the vegetables got burnt, they served as a nice side dish. We enjoyed our meal and drinks for a little over 10,000 yen for three people, which was a good value. This restaurant is popular in the area, and I recommend making a reservation for 4:30 pm for the best experience. The quality of the food is comparable to Genghis Khan restaurants in Tokyo and the Kanto region, but the high cost-performance ratio here is one of the reasons for its popularity. Thank you for the meal.

On September 18, 2023 (Monday, public holiday) at 20:40, I visited this restaurant with a subordinate couple who came to Hokkaido from Fukuoka for sightseeing. This place, which is often featured on gourmet TV shows, always has a long line, but luckily it was quite empty when we passed by! The subordinate's wife immediately decided she wanted to try Genghis Khan (grilled lamb) when she saw it. We waited for about 10 minutes and then entered the restaurant. We ordered three glasses of draft beer (605 yen each), the No. 1 set (2,574 yen), lamb chops (1,078 yen), rib roast (1,045 yen), and lamp (825 yen). The meat was all incredibly delicious. The subordinate couple was also very impressed. We enjoyed the shoulder roast, lamb chops, and two more glasses of my local Furano wine (660 yen each) with the fillet and lamp seasoned. Even though we only stayed for about an hour, it was a fantastic time. As a Hokkaido native, I was surprised by how mild the lamb meat was, almost to the point where I couldn't tell what I was eating. This is definitely lamb meat that even beginners can enjoy without any issues. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Visited around 7:00 pm on a holiday. Of course, there was a long line. I got a numbered ticket and waited patiently. There were chairs in front of the shop, and a waiting room where you can have a drink while waiting. Surprisingly, the turnover was fast, and even though there were about 25 groups ahead of us, we were able to enter in about an hour. We had the shoulder loin, shoulder, herb, rib loin, lamb chop, daikon salad, and mountain wasabi cucumber. The meat was fresh, tender, and all delicious!!! My favorites were the shoulder loin and lamb chop. The shoulder loin had a good balance of meat and fat, with just the right amount of lamb flavor. The shoulder was quite elastic when cooked, and quite different from the shoulder loin. The rib loin had a lot of fat and a stronger lamb flavor than the others. I liked it, but my partner seemed to find it a bit too heavy. And then the lamb chop. There was a cooking instructions sheet, so we carefully followed it and cooked it. It was incredibly juicy, tender, and delicious... A must-try. The daikon salad was also delicious. Lamb can be quite heavy, so the refreshing large amount of daikon was the perfect match. We also had a drink each, but the total bill was just over 6000 yen, which was quite cheap and surprising. It was very delicious.

JR Asahikawa Station is a 13-minute walk away. Visit: Weekday 17:30 Queue: One group, 5 minutes Genre: Genghis Khan (Mongolian barbecue) I had been curious about this Genghis Khan restaurant for a while, so I visited for an early dinner. You can enter by using the ticket machine at the storefront. Apart from waiting in front of the store, you can also wait at the waiting area across the street. - No. 1 Set: 2,340 yen A set of three types of meat: shoulder loin, shoulder, and fillet. Even if you order each item separately, the price is the same, but one serving of vegetables is complimentary, which is a unique point. The thick cuts provide a satisfying chew, and the freshness is excellent, giving a high level of satisfaction from the Genghis Khan. - Garlic Napa Cabbage Kimchi: 350 yen At first, you don't feel anything, but when you bite into it, a strong garlic aroma spreads. The spiciness of the kimchi is slightly above mild. - Almond Daikon Salad (Half): 200 yen There is a half-size option available for individuals, so I ordered that. The daikon and sliced almond salad looks like it's about to overflow from the plate, and the cost performance at 200 yen is outstanding! - Draft Beer: 550 yen It was Asahi Super Dry, but honestly, I wanted to pair it with the Hokkaido-exclusive Sapporo beer (; ;) There doesn't seem to be a parking lot at the store, but there is a large coin parking lot next to the store, so you can rest assured. I really enjoyed the delicious Genghis Khan here! Thank you for the meal.

I made a reservation for 4:00 PM on Sunday and visited the restaurant. When I arrived before 4:00 PM, there were over 30 people waiting in front of the shop. The restaurant opened at 4:00 PM and started seating guests in order of their reservations. About a third of the people waiting outside seemed to have reservations. I ordered the Number 1 set, herb, rib roast, and sausage. My favorite was the herb, which had a strong flavor that made me feel like I could eat it endlessly. The fillet was also tender and delicious, without any unpleasant smell. It was a satisfying meal that didn't leave me feeling heavy, even after eating a lot. This was the best restaurant I visited during my trip to Hokkaido.

A popular Genghis Khan (Mongolian barbecue) restaurant in Asahikawa. Visited at 4:30 pm on a weekday and had to wait for 6 groups ahead of us. We were able to get seated in about 30 minutes. Ordered the top set which came with 3 types of meat. The lamb shoulder Genghis Khan was delicious. Also enjoyed the lamb chops and tongue. When we left before 6 pm, there were 23 groups waiting.

Asahikawa's extremely popular Genghis Khan restaurant. I made a reservation about a month ago by calling, and they said they accept reservations starting at 4:00 PM, so I reserved for 4:00 PM, Thursday visit. When I arrived at 4:00 PM, the restaurant was crowded with about 30 people. They said without a reservation, you would have to wait for about 1-2 hours. Surprisingly, in July 2023, a branch also opened in Kichijoji, Tokyo! It was rare and fun to be able to compare various parts of lamb meat. The quality of the meat was amazing ☆ It was completely different from any lamb or mutton I had eaten before. It was tender, with almost no distinctive lamb flavor. I wonder how this meat is produced. Is it because it is fresh? As someone who is not a big fan of the taste of lamb, I found this meat to be very delicious. At first, the staff explained how to grill and the doneness while grilling only the shoulder loin. They use lamb fat for grilling. It was soft, with a beautiful color and melted in the mouth. When the surface was slightly less than 1 millimeter thick and turned white, they flipped it. It seemed like the perfect way to bring out the best quality of the meat. The best way to enjoy the tenderness of the meat was to eat it in a rare state, except for the tongue. When it was well-done, it completely lost the chewy tenderness and flavor. The seasoning included homemade sauce, salt (forgot the name), and shichimi pepper. The slightly sweet homemade sauce and grated garlic were excellent and I mostly enjoyed them. A unique flavor that was created to match the lamb meat at this restaurant. Below are the parts I tried. 3 items from the "Number 1 Set," which seems to be a staple of the restaurant. ★8.5 Shoulder Loin - Soft and gentle mouthfeel. A unique fresh flavor different from the typical lamb taste. ★7 Shoulder - Comparing it to the shoulder loin, it was firmer and less flavorful, with a more beef-like texture. ★7.5 Fillet - A round cut. Soft and chewy texture. Closer to a lean taste. From the recommended limited three types. ★7 Thymus - "Thymus meat. A rich flavor similar to shirako." A unique texture that I have never experienced before. It was quite sticky and stretched like mochi. It was hard to chew and stayed in the mouth for a long time. It was more creamy and heavy in taste. The texture and taste may be similar to shirako among meat parts, but it is completely different from shirako. ★7 Tongue - When cooked to almost rare, it had a soft yet crispy texture, and when cooked to well-done, it had a texture similar to beef tongue. Both have their own good points.

I visited the restaurant around 5 pm on a weekday, but there were already about 20 groups waiting. They have a system where you need to be ready when called, but there are plenty of chairs in the waiting room so you can sit comfortably. The turnover seems to be fast, as I was called in less than 30 minutes. When I left around 6:30 pm, there were over 40 groups waiting, so it's recommended to go with some extra time or make a reservation. It was my first time trying Genghis Khan (Mongolian barbecue). It did have a different flavor from beef, but it wasn't smelly and tasted delicious. At first, the staff cooked it while giving instructions, so even beginners can feel at ease. They have single seats too, so dining alone is also fine. The seating area is not very spacious, but each table has lockers where you can store your belongings if you don't want them to smell. The 5th picture shows the amount of lamb and beef in one serving. I was full and satisfied. The daikon salad was also tasty, with a refreshing plum-like dressing and the texture and flavor of sliced almonds were enjoyable.

The staff were energetic and explained things in a polite manner. They even cooked a sample for us. The meat had no unpleasant smell and was delicious. However, it's recommended to make a reservation over the phone as you can't get in without one. They have a ticket system, but if you're not there when your number is called, it will be considered a cancellation. We tried tongue, skirt, chorizo, and ribeye. The ribeye was very fatty, so it's recommended for those who like fatty meat. Personally, I really liked the chorizo and skirt. They were delicious. The tongue can become tough if cooked incorrectly, so it's best to watch the staff's demonstration before cooking it carefully. The restaurant felt a bit cramped, but there were seats on the second floor as well. There were families with children, so it seems like they can accommodate larger groups (around 5-10 people). I would like to bring my friends next time. Thank you.

This was my first visit to Genghis Khan in Asahikawa, and the meat was very tender and delicious. The staff were also very friendly. We ordered Set 1, 1 Shoulder Roast, 2 Rib Roasts, 2 Shoulder Cuts, 1 Daikon Salad, 1 Mountain Wasabi Cucumber, 1 Large Rice, 1 Egg Rice Bowl, 1 Soboro Soup, 2 Vegetable Refills, 3 Draft Beers, and 2 Highballs, which came to just under 12,000 yen! We definitely ate too much for two people (lol).

I was impressed by Genghis Khan for the first time. It was incredibly tender and not smelly at all. It's five times better than in Tokyo. The herbs were delicious. They said they only take reservations for 16 o'clock, so it might be better to make a reservation in advance.

■Taste: 90 points ■Atmosphere: 90 points ■Cost performance: 80 points ■Location: 70 points ■Overall impression: This popular Genghis Khan restaurant in Asahikawa was visited during a family trip to Hokkaido. We had made a reservation in advance and smoothly entered the restaurant to order and toast. The shoulder loin was exquisite and we ended up getting seconds. I wish the drinks were a bit cheaper, but at least children's juice is free. I would definitely want to revisit when in Asahikawa again (although I probably won't be going there anytime soon, haha). It was delicious! Thank you for the meal!

I visited around 18:30 on a regular night and there were 39 groups ahead of me! It must have been because it was the summer vacation season, it was shocking haha. I was able to enter before 20:00. I was so hungry that I forgot to take photos, which was a regrettable mistake, but I ordered the herb lamb chops and shoulder loin. Everything was really delicious!! There was no unpleasant smell of Genghis Khan, but the rich flavor of the meat was definitely there! Especially, the shoulder loin and tongue are a must-order!! The tongue has a texture and taste that is like a mix of chicken heart and beef tongue, and it becomes addictive. I haven't been to many Genghis Khan restaurants haha, but this was definitely the best in Genghis Khan history! I highly recommend it! It seems like the Yoshikawa-cho store in Kichijoji, Tokyo has just opened, so I would like to try that one too.

I visited Asahikawa for sightseeing! I tried to make a reservation at a popular restaurant, but they only take reservations for 4:00 pm. My family of four arrived a little before 6:00 pm and were told there was about a one-hour wait. We were given a number tag and directed to a waiting room with air conditioning across the street. There was even a beer dispenser so we could enjoy a beer while waiting (lol). Groups of one or two were called in quickly. After waiting for about an hour and a half, we were seated in the restaurant. We ordered a variety of cuts like loin and fillet, and they were all really delicious! There was no gamey taste, just packed with the flavor of the meat. The staff explained everything nicely and cooked the meat for us, they were very kind. This was my first time having such delicious Genghis Khan at such an affordable price.

I arrived in Asahikawa after a 1.5-hour ride on the limited express Lilac from Sapporo, checked into my hotel, and then arrived at Daikokuya around 17:50. There were about 40 groups ahead of me, so I went shopping at the Aeon mall in front of the station and returned to the restaurant around 19:00, where there were still about 15 groups ahead of me. I waited for about an hour and was able to enter the restaurant before 20:00. The seating arrangement (for 2 or 4 people) affected the order in which customers were seated, so it may be more efficient to wait in front of the restaurant. I toasted with a large Kirin beer and apple juice, and ordered the popular Number 1 set (shoulder loin, shoulder, fillet), egg over rice, two asparagus spears, and tomato and onion salad. The first two slices of shoulder loin and grilled vegetables (one plate is free, additional plates are charged) were grilled by the staff. They were delicious with sauce, spices, or spicy chili pepper from the table. Among the Number 1 set, I particularly enjoyed the shoulder loin. The square-shaped fillet had a good texture. The lamb fat placed in the center would accumulate at the bottom, creating a deep-fried flavor for the asparagus and grilled vegetables. The meat cooked faster than normal teppanyaki because of the oil, which I found efficient. The grill was charcoal-fired, which made the seats quite warm due to the far-infrared effect. The delayed tomato and onion salad had fewer onions and was mainly tomatoes, tasting like a Mos Burger. I ordered additional herbs, lamb sausages, and rump (around the buttocks). The herb was very tender and fragrant, while the sausage had a concentrated lamb flavor, reminiscent of eating lamb keema. Although the meat at this restaurant had almost no lamb flavor, the rump had a slight hint of it, giving the feeling of eating Genghis Khan. I had a second drink, a highball (mega jug), which was strong and satisfying. Despite the long line, the service was fast, and the meat and vegetables cooked quickly. The simple menu focused on meat, so people didn't stay long, and I felt that everyone would eventually get their turn. The key to its popularity is the delicious meat. Asahikawa was bustling with izakayas and lively nightlife. Thank you for the meal.

I was able to make a reservation one month in advance through phone reservation, starting from 4:00 PM when the store opens. I had to adjust my travel schedule to fit in with Daikokuya, but it was a restaurant I really wanted to visit. I heard that the shoulder loin was delicious, so I ordered the shoulder loin and "Herb" - shoulder loin seasoned with herb and salt, and fillet. At first, the staff cooked it for me. Indeed, the shoulder loin was more delicious than the fillet. Adding garlic to the sauce enhances the flavor. I even had a second helping of the shoulder loin. It's strange that I didn't feel bloated at all after eating. By the way, it seems that a new branch has opened in Kichijoji, Tokyo, and one is also planned for Shinjuku.

Hmm, this is delicious! It's rare to find a place where every part of the meat is so tasty. The pieces are just the right size and thickness, making you really feel like you're eating meat. It's hard to find Genghis Khan (Mongolian barbecue) this good. I particularly enjoyed the shoulder, rib loin, and rib roast. The sauce and homemade spices are delicious no matter which you choose. And it's reasonably priced. It's a popular place for a reason. The glasses are clean, and the beer and highballs are also delicious.

When visiting Asahikawa, make sure to try the pork shoulder recommended by a friend! Following the advice to end the meal with TKG, we enjoyed a feast of pork shoulder and TKG. The meat was incredibly tender, and even though I don't usually eat much yakiniku, I could have eaten more and more without feeling overwhelmed. The two-hour wait was definitely worth it for the deliciousness! I was impressed. There was a waiting room prepared across the street from the restaurant, which showed their sincerity. I heard they have also opened a branch in Tokyo, so I would love to visit there too!

I wanted to try authentic Genghis Khan (Mongolian barbecue) in Hokkaido! So I made a reservation and visited the popular Genghis Khan restaurant "Asahikawa JINGISUKAN Daikokuya" in Asahikawa. There was a long line, so it was essential to make a reservation. Reservations are only available for the opening hours, which are 4:30 pm on weekdays and 4:00 pm on weekends and holidays. From July 1 to August 31, the restaurant opens at 4:00 pm every day. When I arrived before 4:00 pm, the place was already packed with people entering one after another. By the time I left, there was a waiting line of 50 groups! They provide shelves to store your belongings and aprons. I ordered the No. 1 set, which includes popular cuts like shoulder, loin, and fillet. The meat is never frozen, only fresh. The staff will cook it for you at the beginning. Vegetables are complimentary for the first round, but charged from the second. The shoulder, loin, and fillet were all tender and had no gamey smell. My favorite was the shoulder, and I also ordered lamb sausage, choosing the smoked flavor. It was juicy with the lamb fat melting in your mouth! The food was incredibly delicious, living up to its reputation as a popular restaurant. I would love to visit again when I'm in Asahikawa!

I come to Hokkaido every year, but it's been about 15 years since I last visited Asahikawa. Finally, I was able to visit the Genghis Khan restaurant that I had been longing for! The food is delicious, generous in portion, and offers great value for money! They have rare cuts of meat, ensuring the ultimate Genghis Khan experience. Even though it was before the Obon holiday and during the summer vacation period, when I arrived at 5:30 PM on a weekday, there were over 20 groups ahead of me. I heard that despite having 100 seats, the restaurant fills up as soon as it opens at 4 PM due to its immense popularity. It has even been featured on a popular gourmet show, which may have made it even more well-known nationwide. There are plenty of waiting seats in front of the restaurant, so as long as the weather and temperature are fine, you can sit and wait comfortably. In the end, I waited for an hour before being seated. Solo diners and groups of two seemed to be seated quickly at the counter, allowing them to enter one after another. I ordered the Number 1 Set (including shoulder loin, shoulder, and fillet), tongue, sirloin, lamb chops, rib loin, and more. We were seated on the second floor in a tatami room with tables and cushions lined up in a large room with partitions. The atmosphere was fantastic. The Number 1 Set, which includes shoulder loin, shoulder, and fillet, costs around 2,574 yen including tax. Ordering them individually costs 770 yen, 759 yen, and 1,045 yen, respectively, so it was surprising that the set wasn't necessarily a better deal. However, the shoulder loin, which is the most popular item, was so delicious with its thickness, tenderness, and rich flavor that I ended up ordering more! The staff members cook the first piece for you and explain the delicious way to cook and eat it, which is great! Despite having many student part-time workers, the service level is high, with quick delivery of drinks and meat even when it's crowded, which is pleasing. I also ordered the rare cuts of meat, tongue and sirloin. The tongue had a crispy texture similar to beef tongue and was extremely delicious, while the sirloin had an interesting taste reminiscent of shirako (milt) but different from grilled pork skewers. These unique cuts made me happy! I continued to order different cuts until I was full. Each portion is usually 3 to 5 pieces. The rib loin mostly consisted of fatty white parts, which would normally be a complaint in regular yakiniku, but when grilled in this case, it was exquisite! I highly recommend trying it. It was difficult to choose the best because everything was so delicious! With the fast service, even though it's a 90-minute time limit, I left full and extremely satisfied. If I have the chance to visit Asahikawa again, I will definitely stop by this restaurant.
