Recently, my son, who has been eating more, requested to go to a yakiniku restaurant. We visited a place that offers all-you-can-eat lunch only on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. We had made a reservation online the day before and were seated at a table upon arrival. We ordered the "Lunchtime Limited All-You-Can-Eat" (3,058 yen) with the "Special Soft Drink Course" (605 yen). This course includes 18 items such as yakiniku, horumon, and sausages, as well as unlimited rice, salad, kimchi, and chijimi, with dessert also available. The quality of the meat is not top-notch, but it is decent for an all-you-can-eat option, and the variety is satisfying as you can enjoy your favorite meats in abundance. The time limit is 90 minutes, which is ample, and it is convenient for those driving as there are several non-alcoholic drink options available. Since my son is in elementary school, the all-you-can-eat option was half price for children, making it very affordable and friendly to the budget for families with growing children.

I made a reservation and visited the restaurant. It had been a while since I last came, but I was immediately surprised! The customer service was extremely polite! When I think of yakiniku restaurants, I usually imagine energetic customer service, but this time it was consistently polite. They are currently having a Hokkaido Fair, and the meat was delicious as expected, but even the side dishes were tasty. I left feeling satisfied! If I were to make a suggestion, it would be to have more dessert options, but being able to order freely would make it perfect! ✨

On a day off, I wanted to enjoy all-you-can-eat yakiniku for lunch, so I chose this restaurant from various options. The meat for all-you-can-eat was surprisingly delicious. The staff were plentiful and the service quality was top-notch. I started with all-you-can-eat yakiniku and all-you-can-drink soft drinks. The meat, as always, was delicious. I ordered mainly tongue, kalbi, and hormone and continued to eat in silence. However, as enjoyable as all-you-can-eat is, I still wished for beer with my yakiniku. With beer, I feel like I could eat three times more meat... Lunch cost just under 3,000 yen. It's quite a luxurious lunch, but it's nice to indulge in luxury as an ordinary person once in a while.

On this day, I went to the south to buy furniture for my son and his wife, who are getting married in May, and to have dinner with them. Initially, we were thinking of going to Gyu-Kaku, but my son wanted to try 1 Karubi instead. I tried to make a reservation online a week ago, but it seemed to be fully booked. I noticed a phone contact mark, so I called and managed to get a reservation for Saturday at 6:00 PM. The restaurant seemed to be quite popular. We arrived 15 minutes before our reservation time, despite some traffic. We were in a good mood as we were able to purchase several pieces of furniture at a great price. The restaurant was already crowded with about 8 groups of customers, indicating its popularity. We were seated promptly at 6:00 PM. We decided to go for the 2,980 yen (excluding tax) all-you-can-eat course, which had different discounts based on age. Since my wife and I are in our 50s, we got a discounted price of 2,680 yen (excluding tax). The course included various meats, side dishes, salads, soups, rice dishes, and desserts. We enjoyed the food, especially the tender meats and flavorful salads. The dessert was also a highlight. Overall, we were satisfied with the quality and variety of the dishes. The pricing was reasonable, and we felt that it offered good value for money.

"I have visited Waku Waku Wankarubi several times. It was a Monday, but the restaurant was full. As soon as I entered, the energetic voices of the staff echoed throughout the place. This time, I ordered the all-you-can-eat menu with 90 items for 120 minutes. The prices are as follows: [Adult] 3,380 yen (3,650 yen) [Middle-aged (50s)] 3,040 yen (3,283 yen) [Senior (60s)] 2,700 yen (2,916 yen) [Silver (70s and above)] 2,360 yen (2,548 yen) [Junior (elementary school students)] 1,690 yen (1,825 yen) [Kids (4-6 years old)] 470 yen (507 yen) [Free (3 years old and below)] Free. The all-you-can-eat menu also includes individual items, making it a satisfying course! The prices are set according to age groups, making it very attractive for families, and the fact that toddlers eat for free is also great. With a time limit of 120 minutes, we ordered our favorite meats and hormones to enjoy as much as we wanted. Don't complain about the cheap prices and great value for money. We had a great time cutting the famous Wankarubi with scissors, enjoying simmered hamburgers, shrimp, and ordering multiple times. We also enjoyed the Bagna Cauda, soup, and desserts for our separate stomachs, making it a happy 2 hours. I definitely want to visit again (*^^)"

A family of three went to Yoru One Karubi. Upon entering, they were surprised by the synchronized greeting of the staff, reminiscent of a military call. Even in the early evening at around 5 o'clock, the restaurant was quite crowded. They ordered the all-you-can-eat course, including the signature long cut of meat called "One Karubi," as well as top sirloin, top harami, top harami hormone, and chishanabe. They refrained from ordering rice dishes to avoid getting too full from the meat. The beer arrived, but it felt a bit flat. The meat started arriving slowly, possibly due to the busy rush. The friendly service of the staff was a saving grace. The "One Karubi" was indeed delicious, as well as the other cuts of meat. However, the sauce was too sweet for their liking. The rare cut "Misji" only came with a sweet sukiyaki-style sauce, which was overly sweet. For dessert, they could each choose one item, but by that point, they were already too full and feeling sick, so they opted for yuzu sherbet or almond jelly, with the latter being their preference. Despite feeling stuffed, they noted that it would be nice if the sauce could be adjusted to taste less sweet. Overall, they might consider going back when they crave a sweet sauce again. They also appreciated the thoughtful touch of having air fresheners in the restroom.

I decided to try a different restaurant from my usual spot. As others have mentioned, the staff's voices were quite loud. It felt like being in an izakaya, with calls being made here and there. While it may be to showcase their energy, it did become somewhat disruptive to conversations. As for the taste, it was alright. There was a lingering aftertaste that was hard to describe. The tongue was thinly sliced and cold, drying out quickly when grilled. The loin was moderately tender. I tried the grilled loin (eating it with raw egg), which was somewhat interesting. The sukiyaki-style sauce burned when grilled, so the flavor didn't come through much. However, it was enjoyable after getting tired of regular yakiniku. Dessert was limited to one per person, and there's only one course available now (there used to be two options). I think it would be good for parties and gatherings!

It's just too noisy. Very noisy. The "shouting" of the staff when customers enter or leave the restaurant... it's called a "chant" apparently, but to me it was just unpleasant shouting. It felt like they were following a manual too strictly, and it was kind of scary... When they take away the plates, they also shout, "I'll take care of this!!"... Do you really need to take care of it... The girls wearing name tags that said "Training" were very fresh and charming, better than the experienced staff. The all-you-can-eat course will be changing from March. It seems like the ice cream that kids loved will no longer be available >.< As for the meat, the quality of the meat that comes out after the first order seems to be lower... but you can only order enough for the number of people, and whenever we try to order more, it's always sold out. Is that the policy they have? Well, kids eat a lot so without the all-you-can-eat option, it would cost a fortune, so for now, I think we'll go to One Karubi. I hope they don't compromise on the quality of the meat too much... The almond jelly will also be gone, but it was a nice palate cleanser. Eating almond jelly made it easier to eat more meat ^_^ When leaving, at the kids' request, we avoided the aisle where the staff were lining up (of course, to avoid being shouted at) and sneaked out (lol)

I have mentioned it a few times before. I like this place because it is safe for children even if it is a bit noisy. The manager is very attentive, which is helpful. It is an all-you-can-eat restaurant, so I can eat without worrying about the price, which is great for my meat-loving family. However, during busy times, the orders can be slow to arrive. I can overlook this because it is all-you-can-eat. One thing I wish for is a soft drink bar (they have free refills), especially when I am not drinking alcohol. The meat is delicious here. My family always orders the premium meat platter first and then continues ordering. We eat a lot, so we go on weekdays when it is less crowded. The meat seems thicker on weekdays.
