Roast Beef Donburi Set with Black Wagyu Beef @ Roast Beef Ono Akihabara Store On November 29th, known as Good Meat Day, I decided to treat myself to some good meat and visited Roast Beef Ono in Akihabara. This place is always crowded on weekends, so I was excited to try their recommended dishes like the Black Wagyu Beef Roast Beef Donburi, Ono's Roast Beef Donburi (made with lean meat), and Ono's Steak Plate. I ordered the Black Wagyu Beef Roast Beef Donburi with a free option for extra rice and a choice of either Sharipin Sauce or Wasabi Soy Sauce. The set also came with Beef Tail Soup, along with additional toppings like shiso leaves, sesame seeds, and extra sauce. When the dish arrived, it was quite a sight to see the tower of roast beef slices on top of the rice bowl. The meat was tender and flavorful, with a nice balance of meaty aroma and sweetness. I chose the Wasabi Soy Sauce, which complemented the marbled Wagyu beef perfectly, adding a rich and harmonious flavor to each bite. Since the portion of roast beef was generous, I appreciated having the extra toppings to mix up the flavors as I ate. The staff were also helpful in explaining how to enjoy the dish, making it a comfortable experience for first-time visitors. Overall, it was a delightful meal at Roast Beef Ono. Bon appétit!

Two people used the restaurant on a weekend night. There were about 8 people waiting in line in front of the store, and about 8 people waiting inside as well. About half of the customers were foreigners, and staff members came to take orders while we were waiting in line. We were asked to choose between two sauces, onion sauce and wasabi sauce. We chose wasabi sauce because we heard that the onion sauce was sweet with fruit. The restaurant was located underground, and we were finally seated after about 40 minutes. The underground restaurant had a large counter as the main seating area, with about four table seats as well. It was nice to have our order served as soon as we sat down. We ordered the following dishes: Roast beef bowl set with extra meat for 1210 yen + 790 yen, and Black Wagyu roast beef bowl set for 1870 yen. The bowls that arrived were both towering like Mount Fuji, but the one with extra meat looked more impressive. However, the overall impression was not that impressive in terms of impact or visual appeal. The bowls were small and surprisingly plain when faced with them. As for the taste, there was a sense of mediocrity throughout. I am not a fan of sweet flavors, so choosing the wasabi sauce was the right decision for me. They asked if we wanted mayonnaise, but we decided to go without it. However, after finishing the meal, I regretted not adding mayonnaise as I felt that the roast beef's flavor had become a bit dull. The comparison of the meats was surprising or rather obvious, with the Black Wagyu being delicious. The menu indicated that those who like fatty meat should choose this option, but the Black Wagyu did not appear particularly fatty. It was unexpectedly difficult to distinguish between the two types of meat in the bowl, and we ended up sharing them. The Black Wagyu had a rich flavor and was delicious, without a noticeable fatty taste. However, since it was the regular portion, the amount of roast beef was less than expected. The flavor was not particularly rich or voluminous, and adding more meat would be necessary to feel satisfied. As a fan of raw eggs, I was delighted to have an egg included in the dish. The tray also came with condiments and a soy sauce-colored sauce for the rice, which was quite sweet, so I ended up adding salt towards the end. There was no overwhelming sense of deliciousness or excitement while eating, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was somewhat lackluster. The unique and towering presentation of the dish was interesting, but it might be more enjoyable if the roast beef was arranged flatter and more delicately. The thinly sliced roast beef made it impossible to achieve a fluffy or voluminous presentation, and ultimately, it felt unsatisfying. The quality of the meat itself also seemed lacking in flavor. Despite some good ideas and a nice presentation, there was a feeling that it could be greatly improved. In conclusion, the restaurant had a unique concept and presentation, but the flavor and overall dining experience fell short of expectations.

I arrived at the restaurant around 7:30 pm. I had heard it was a popular place, so I thought there might be a long line, but there were only 3 people waiting. I was relieved and was able to enter the restaurant right away. I decided to order the black wagyu roast beef bowl set with extra rice (350g) because I really wanted to try the roast beef. I chose the mountain wasabi sauce. When the dish arrived, it looked amazing. The meat was towering high and looked very appetizing. I cracked the egg yolk on top and dug in. The meat was very tender and had a sweet taste. It was so refreshing that I could eat as many slices as I wanted. I wish I had ordered the extra meat. The mountain wasabi sauce paired well with the meat. The shiso leaves and sesame seeds also added a nice touch. The egg yolk added a refreshing taste and richness to the meat. The ox tail soup was also delicious. I left the restaurant feeling very satisfied.

I waited in line for about 20 minutes at 6:00 pm on a weekday to enter the restaurant. It was less crowded than usual, even though there is usually a long line. I ordered the regular wagyu beef with wasabi sauce, recommended for those who like fatty meat. The staff explained that the beef could be either American or Australian, which was confusing. The meat was tender, but the sauce was too salty due to being overly generous. There was not much flavor in the meat itself, so once you've tried it, it's enough.

After finishing the M League with company colleagues, we headed to "Roast Beef Ohno/Akihabara Store" for a late-night meal. Despite the scorching heat, the maid cafe was full of maids, located in a shady area off Showa Street. We arrived at the store at 9 pm, with about 6 people in line. The waiting area had cooling fans, but they weren't producing cold air due to the extreme heat. I couldn't help but feel sorry for the machines working all day in such conditions. After waiting for about 20 minutes, we entered the store. The interior was cleaner than expected, with all female staff members. The roast beef options were black wagyu (A4) or regular, with a choice of onion or wasabi sauce. Rice came in a free large serving, and you could double the amount of meat. Sauce and soup refills were allowed. Since it was a late-night meal, I ordered "Wagyu (regular)/Rice (small)". The roast beef was topped with a raw egg yolk, making a striking presentation. The taste was excellent, with the A4 wagyu being tender and delicious. I could easily have eaten a double portion due to its lightness and deliciousness. The roast beef was the best. Note: In the past, they have held all-you-can-eat events on 6/10 as Roast Beef Day and 10/10 as Ohno Day.

I started lining up around 12:40 and there were about 6 groups ahead of me. However, those 6 groups were mostly Asian or European, so I got the impression that this restaurant is quite well-known among foreigners. This time, I ordered the black wagyu roast beef bowl (with free extra rice and wasabi sauce). The tender roast beef paired perfectly with the sauce and condiments (sesame seeds and shiso leaves), making it very delicious. The soup had a rich beef tail flavor but was light enough to not overpower the taste of the roast beef. I was seated at the counter right next to the stairs. Since there is no separate cashier counter in the small space, the process of payment happening right next to my seat was a bit distracting.

There are two types of roast beef on the menu, both simple but incredibly delicious that it's hard to choose. If you want to savor the texture, I recommend the regular one. The wagyu beef melts in your mouth (laughs), so it's also a good choice. There's a QR code on the receipt, so the payment process is smooth. There's always a line, but on weekdays the turnover rate is high, so it doesn't feel like you have to wait that long.

The combination of egg and wasabi sauce with roast beef was incredibly delicious! It was my first time visiting this place, and the staff kindly explained everything to me. I asked for a smaller portion of rice, but I still left feeling full!

I visited before 9 PM with no wait. By the way, when I passed by in the 8 o'clock hour, there was a line outside the store. I ordered the roast beef bowl with wasabi sauce for 1,210 yen. I chose the large size for free. The bowl was neatly arranged. The wasabi sauce was applied generously but not overpowering. It goes well with the cream cheese sauce, making the rice very tasty. Although each slice of meat is thin, there is a decent amount packed under the egg yolk, so the portion size is reasonable. It's been a while since I had roast beef, but I was satisfied. I heard that on days with a 6 in them, the black wagyu roast beef bowl is 1,600 yen, so I might revisit on one of those days.

The restaurant is located on the basement floor with steep stairs, so be careful. The shop is not very spacious. The cleanliness is somewhat good. I visited on a weekday at 11:20, so I was able to be seated right away, but by 11:30 it was full. When leaving, there was a line. They offer roast beef bowl set with black wagyu beef, and you can choose the rice portion size from small 200g, regular 250g, to large 350g, and surprisingly, the large size is free of charge. I chose the large size. When the bowl arrived, at first I thought there was not much meat, but the portion was actually quite generous. The taste was delicious. It's a great place that I would like to visit again, but there happened to be quite a few foreign customers. It was a bit disappointing that the payment process took some time.

I visited the restaurant on a weekday night. I had to wait for about 30 minutes. The interior of the restaurant is quite clean, but it's not really a place where you can linger. I ordered the Ohno's roast beef bowl set for 1210 yen, and I upgraded to 1.5 times the meat for 1605 yen. It was a lucky day because the large size was free. The taste was okay. If you add the restaurant as a LINE friend, you can get a free soft drink.

I had the roast beef bowl set at Ono's with yam wasabi sauce. Just as described on the menu, it had a juicy texture with a pleasant chew and low fat content making it refreshing. I didn't have high expectations as I stopped by for a quick meal during work, but being a chain with several locations in Tokyo, it was reliably good. The spicy and tangy yam wasabi sauce paired perfectly with the roast beef. I tried the Australian beef this time, but now I'm curious about the Japanese A4 wagyu roast beef bowl. However, the light taste of the Australian beef was also enjoyable, so I would like to try it again.

✨2023.2.24 (Fri) Roast Beef Ohno Akihabara Store✨ It was the day of staying overnight to attend the live performances of my favorite group from the 24th to the 26th. Yesterday was the first day. I visited around noon. When I arrived at 12:10, there was a long line formed. I ended up waiting for just under an hour. Once inside the store, I realized that the seating capacity was not that large, so the line was moving slowly. There were big signs and pictures of roast beef bowls on the walls outside the store, so I took a photo. Finally, I entered the store. The staff were kind and brought a basket for my belongings. The food arrived in less than 10 minutes after ordering. I had the "Black Wagyu Roast Beef Bowl with less rice". Even with less rice, it was still 200g, with options for 100g increments of regular or large servings. There were instructions on how to eat the dish, starting with grabbing a bite of the meat with sauce. The sauce was really delicious. The rice soaked in the sauce was also amazing. Next, you could enjoy the meat without sauce by adding rock salt or pepper. This also enhanced the flavor of the meat and was delicious. The last few pieces could be eaten with cheese or wasabi, but since I couldn't eat wasabi, I tried it with cheese. It was very rich. I understood why it was meant for the last few pieces. Even with 200g of rice, it was quite a lot, and as a light eater, I couldn't finish it all. I thought it would be nice to have it as ochazuke (rice in tea) at the end! It was worth the wait. Besides Akihabara, they also have stores in Ikebukuro and Harajuku. I would like to visit again!

Suddenly, I had a craving for roast beef and found it! Next to it was a building called Ninnin Cafe, which had a distinct Akihabara vibe. The image of Ohno as a calm and gentle person didn't quite match. I managed to survive the long line and entered the clean and tidy store, which boosted my mood after waiting. The recent trend of becoming LINE friends for special benefits was also a nice touch. The visuals were beautiful and delicious, satisfying my desires for a fulfilling night.

Akihabara is close to the station. It was very crowded, lined up at 20:00 on Saturday and seated at 21:15! The interior of the restaurant was surprisingly spacious. I ordered the healthy dish advertised to be good for muscles. ● Oono's roast beef bowl set meal 1100 yen, free extra-large portion. It was delicious, really tasty. I want to come back here again. The wait was worth it. Thank you, roast beef. To myself who waited, I want to say don't give up. This is the story you started. The origin of my roast beef. Be quiet, this taste... it revives me. As many times as you want. That kind of feeling. Enjoy!

While shopping, I came across an attractive sign that I had decided to visit someday. This time, I finally visited the Roast Beef Ono Akihabara store for the first time. During lunchtime on weekends, there is always a line, but compared to the long lines at the surrounding stores (such as a Pokémon trading card shop and a rare cut of yakiniku restaurant), the line here was manageable. After waiting for 30 minutes, I finally got inside. I ordered the Black Wagyu Roast Beef bowl set, choosing the Sharpean sauce over the Wasabi sauce, and opting for a large portion of rice. I had high expectations for the Black Wagyu Roast Beef described on the outdoor sign as having a "smooth texture," "melts in your mouth," and "juicy with every bite." The presentation of the Roast Beef bowl was beautiful with a mountain of Roast Beef topped with egg yolk and Sharpean sauce cascading down like snow from the peak. The Roast Beef was indeed of high quality as expected from Black Wagyu, with a tender texture, a hint of sweetness from the marbling, and overall deliciousness. I enjoyed mixing and matching flavors with the egg yolk, salt, black pepper, cream cheese, and wasabi as recommended. The dish was well thought out to prevent monotony, and I didn't get tired of eating it until the end. The tail soup was light, and adding a bit more black pepper made it even more delicious. The clientele consisted mainly of couples and young women, and the visually appealing presentation of the dish was a key factor in attracting customers and generating buzz. This was evident as some customers took a long time to take photos before starting to eat their Roast Beef bowl.

Roast beef bowl, around 1800 yen including tax. Among all the roast beef I've had, this one was the most tender by far. However, there were some parts with chunks of fat that were hard to chew. The bowl may look small at first glance, but there was actually a generous amount of meat and rice. The cream cheese side dish was also good. I wanted to try dipping the meat in salt, but there was a bit too much Sharapin sauce making it difficult. The soup had a gentle flavor and was delicious. The price was a bit on the higher side... it was tasty though.

I dropped by after an event ended! It's located next to an overpass, and there was a line of about 10 people in front of the store. The wait time was about 30 minutes! I had the roast beef bowl with wasabi soy sauce? It was very delicious with wasabi as a nice accent, so I highly recommend it!

Roast Beef Ono in Tokyo: Akihabara Station, Suehirocho Station. The photo shows the Roast Beef Bowl Set. You can enjoy towering roast beef here! The roast beef is piled high, topped with a raw egg yolk and drizzled with mayonnaise sauce. The recommended way to eat it is to first break the egg yolk, eat with the mayo sauce, and then sprinkle with salt. There is plenty of rice underneath the meat, so it's delicious to eat by wrapping the roast beef around the rice. It also comes with miso-marinated cream cheese and wasabi, so you can enjoy it according to your preference. Many female customers were visiting, so if you love roast beef, be sure to check it out! *They also have branches in Ikebukuro and Shinjuku.

Arrived at 12:10. There was a wait for 1 person. Was seated in about 7 minutes. The black wagyu beef was a bit expensive, so I ordered the roast beef bowl for 1210 yen. It was served in less than 10 minutes. The meat was tender and delicious. You can enjoy changing the taste with cream cheese. The portion may be a little small for women. Men might prefer extra rice. They mentioned that you can get a refill of soup and side dishes. I got a refill of cream cheese. It wasn't too hot, so I finished it in a little over 10 minutes. When I went outside, there were more than 10 people waiting in line... It's definitely a popular place. It might be a good idea to go with some extra time to spare.
