I didn't know there was such a shop! It's on the 2nd floor of Sakura Street's Kushikatsu Dengana. I can't believe it! It's already a popular shop. However, it actually opened about a year ago. I had no idea. Unless you have local knowledge of this area, it's hard to find. Even if you walk around normally, you won't notice this elevated floor. It's a hidden gem. But it seems to be popular, so I think it's better to make a reservation. The service, quality of meat, and presentation are all excellent! There are recommended menu items! It seems to be a carefully crafted izakaya. They explain things in detail. The quality of the meat was also good. They have rare cuts like rump, camel hump, and shinsin. The taste of the sauce is delicious and goes well with the well-seasoned meat. The lean meat is usually eaten with wasabi for a refreshing taste. The must-try dish is the shabu loin. It's quickly grilled, then dipped in beaten egg yolk and eaten. It's seriously delicious. After finishing the meat, pour the leftover egg yolk onto a thumb-sized rice ball and enjoy it. This kind of creativity and service is top-notch. Not only the meat, but the cooked dishes like ajillo are also delicious. It's a great restaurant. In Kabukicho, it's a rare yakiniku bar.

Located about a 5-minute walk from the east exit of Shinjuku Station, in the heart of Kabukicho, on the 2nd floor of a building along the TOHO Cinema street, is a yakiniku restaurant. I visited on a holiday at 5 pm with a reservation for the "66 Course" and got a discount of 800 yen off the all-you-can-drink option with the early bird special. Here is what the course included: - Yakiniku Bar Salad: A classic Chorogi salad. When it arrived, I was surprised to see a generous portion of Sunny Salad with crispy seaweed and fresh onions. The sesame oil in the dressing was appetizing. - Black Wagyu Yukhoe: A specialty of the restaurant! They urge you to eat it within 5-10 minutes as it is raw. The thinly sliced beef was incredibly fresh and had a natural sweetness. When mixed with the rich egg yolk, it was a divine taste. - Thick-cut tongue, tongue kalbi (spicy miso & garlic salt), thick-cut heart: The thick-cut heart had a good texture and bursting umami flavor. Both versions of tongue kalbi had excellent marinades that paired perfectly with the meat. The thick-cut tongue was also delicious. - Black Wagyu Nigiri Sushi: I had only tried meat sushi at questionable all-you-can-eat places before, so I had no positive expectations. But when I tried it here, it was surprisingly delicious. The meat's flavor came through without being masked by overly sweet sauce. I was under a spell and could never go back to all-you-can-eat meat sushi. - Today's premium Wagyu 6-piece assortment (kamenoko, shinsin, rib roast, kalbi, upper kalbi, middle kalbi): Kamenoko is a fine-grained cut near the hind leg. It is lean with a refreshing taste. Shinsin, or panda meat (not really), refers to the tender inner thigh area, which is rare and has a tender texture and rich flavor. The kalbi cuts were all high-quality, and the rib roast was a flavor explosion. - Shabu Roast: The staff grilled it for us while we mixed the yolk and special sauce. The sweet fat melted in the mouth, creating a delightful experience. The hormone was so delicious that I wondered if that's where the name shabu-shabu comes from. - Special Tomato Cold Noodles: Even the cold noodles were incredibly delicious. The mild acidity and sweetness of the tomato, along with the flavorful broth, made it outstanding. The smooth and chewy noodles were top-notch and a perfect ending to the meal. With all these luxurious dishes and all-you-can-drink (including premium beer) for 6,000 yen (tax included), the cost performance was unbeatable. I will definitely visit again. I highly recommend this yakiniku restaurant to everyone. Thank you for the meal!

I made a reservation and visited the restaurant. The staff had written a message card for me the day before, which was a nice touch. The hospitality at this place is wonderful. I chose the 66-course with all-you-can-drink option, and all the meats were delicious. The yukhoe (Korean beef tartare) was also available, and the price was great for the quality of food.

There were several affiliated stores, and originally I was trying to book a different place but it was full, so I ended up at 1st. 1st is located right in the heart of Kabukicho. I chose the 7700 yen course, and I was very satisfied with the portion size and it was delicious.

Even on a Sunday, I was able to make a reservation right away by calling. The yukhoe was delicious. The thick-cut tongue was delicious. The liver was also delicious. The sauce for the large pork cutlet and egg was also tasty! I felt safe and everything I ate was delicious! The tomato cold noodles tasted just like pasta. The broth was thick and the flavor was all tomato.

Located slightly off the center of Kabukicho, this restaurant was a great find. We had a course meal which included delicious black wagyu beef yukke and a great selection of wagyu beef dishes. The finale of tomato cold noodles was especially impressive. The staff served drinks promptly and their service was excellent. I would love to visit this restaurant again in the future.

Visited with 4 friends at night around 7:30 pm. The restaurant was about 80% full and lively. We ordered a 6,600 yen course and enjoyed all the dishes. The tomato cold noodles that came out last were my favorite.

I used the restaurant on Course 66 on Saturday at 5:00 PM. Despite its compact size, the restaurant was full. The Yukke, thick-cut Kalbi, and tongue that came out at the beginning were delicious. The speed of alcohol service for the all-you-can-drink option was satisfyingly fast. The location was a bit lively, but the restaurant itself was good!

I made a reservation for a course with all-you-can-drink for 6000 yen and visited the restaurant. If you enter at 5:00 pm, you can get a discount from 6600 to 6000 yen. The restaurant is located on the second floor along the street, but it is not very noticeable, so I passed by it at first. You can enjoy various cuts of meat little by little, so you can eat deliciously without getting tired until the end. The drinks for the all-you-can-drink were served promptly, which left a good impression! I would like to visit again when I feel like eating meat.

If you want to drink decently priced alcohol and eat delicious meat in Shinjuku, this is the place to go. The only downside is having to walk through a slightly unsafe area, but I always end up choosing this restaurant because it's worth it. The meat is delicious and the tomato cold noodles are also tasty! The course menu with drinks included is probably the best value.

It's been a while since I visited No Meat No Life. Located right in the heart of Kabukicho, this yakiniku restaurant offers high-quality meat. It's my favorite place among several yakiniku restaurants. The meat is highly recommended. Once you learn how to grill it yourself, it turns out really delicious. They also do various things for celebrations, and the staff is amazing. Thank you as always. It was delicious!

Shinjuku Kabukicho is a highly competitive area for yakiniku restaurants. The shops are small, so they quickly fill up. It's best to make a reservation. The cost performance is excellent. To be able to eat such delicious meat at this price is amazing. I will continue to visit occasionally. It's located on the same street where the Robot Restaurant used to be.

Went to No Meat No Life for yakiniku. It was a hot day so I ordered a pint of beer. It's rare to see a pint size at a yakiniku restaurant. The appetizer was chili con carne, which was an interesting concept. I tried the yukhoe, which was okay. It lacked a bit of flavor in the meat. The best dish was the thick-cut beef tongue. It was very satisfying with a great texture. Despite being in Kabukicho, this place did not disappoint. It's no wonder they have multiple locations.

I went to this restaurant with a friend I hadn't seen in years. The inside of the restaurant is not very spacious, but there is enough space for two people at each table. The course with all-you-can-drink for 8,800 yen is quite cost-effective. The meat is delicious, and you can try various cuts in small portions, which is satisfying.

First visit in a while. Started with sparkling wine as an aperitif, light and delicious. Then had yukhoe, assorted beef tongue, ichibo, and shabu-shabu beef. The shabu-shabu beef was fatty, tender, and flavorful. Eating the leftover egg with rice like a mini TKG was also enjoyable. The view from the window in the first floor was nice. Definitely want to come back again.

Today, my family visited this restaurant. We happened to be in the Shinjuku area and decided to come here after researching. The children wanted to come here, and we were not disappointed. The namul was delicious, and the meat was tender. Personally, I thought the ribeye was exceptional. Thank you for the meal. We will come again!

I really wanted to go to this yakiniku restaurant in Shinjuku that I had been curious about. The outside of the shop is right in the middle of Kabukicho, and honestly the atmosphere is not great, but inside the shop is calm and suitable for a date. Now, the meat. Hmm, hmm. It's no surprise that this place is part of a chain in Shinjuku. All of the meats are delicious. I mainly ordered red meats, but they were all tasty. There are also three types of sauces, so you can enjoy the flavors without getting bored. And the yukhoe that I was looking forward to. Mmm, delicious. It's been a while since I've had it, but yukhoe is still tasty. Finally, the most impressive meat of the day was the shabu-shabu beef! A large piece with plenty of volume! After the staff cooked it, I dipped it in sauce and egg. Yum! I could easily eat a bowl of rice with this! Next time, I'll order three pieces of this. Personally, I have no complaints about the taste, atmosphere, or service, and I definitely want to visit again.

Overall, it was delicious. We had a course meal with many small but tasty dishes. The service was great. The staff cooked the shabu-shabu beef for us. The all-you-can-drink option was also good. The course included salad, yukhoe (Korean beef tartare), thick-cut tan-tan kalbi, thick-cut hatsu, a selection of 6 types of black wagyu beef, black wagyu beef nigiri shabu-roast, special tomato cold noodles, and 2 hours of drinks.

This time, I visited their 1st location in the middle of Kabukicho. They have a total of 5 branches in Shinjuku, so check their official website for more details! Even after 9 pm, customers kept coming in, showing how popular the place is. The appetizer was beef tongue stew. Wait, an appetizer...? And it came with a baguette. Isn't this more like a snack for alcohol...? Don't underestimate the beef tongue stew from a yakiniku restaurant. "Black Wagyu Yukke" is the signature dish here. It might not be available at 1st, but I heard they serve it for lunch at other branches like 5go. The sweet sauce, the luscious egg yolk, and the finely sliced raw beef create a perfect harmony in your mouth. "Black Wagyu Carpaccio" is a refreshing raw meat dish with green onions and lemon as the perfect accents. It's a delightful appetizer that tingles your senses with joy. "Thick Cut Tongue" is a luxurious cut of tongue. Try it without any sauce or lemon first. "Uni Wrapped in Meat" - raw sea urchin, raw meat, raw egg!!! Although the egg is missing, the combination is brilliant. It's a dish that makes you think the person who came up with it is a genius, as you savor the shiso leaf. Overall, it's like high-end sushi without the rice. "Special Harami" and "Filet" - even the classic cuts are delicious. The color and sweetness of the overflowing meat juices tell the story of their freshness. "Rice" - it came with an egg for some reason! A rice for yakiniku...? (I vaguely remember) It's a bit smaller than a regular serving, making it a good option when you want a little more to fill your stomach. With this and a soup or some other small dish, the total bill was a little over 6,000 yen! If you enjoy drinking a lot, I think the 2-hour all-you-can-drink course is a good choice.

I made a reservation for 6 pm on Saturday and was seated at a counter seat facing the window. I had informed them of my course selection when making the reservation, so we started with ordering drinks. I had requested an anniversary celebration, providing my birthday and name in advance, and they had prepared a special plate for me. The staff took a photo for us, and at the end, they handed a message card along with the birthday plate to the birthday person.

I have visited this sister restaurant a few times and the quality of the meat is really good. Unlike sushi, where the quality of the ingredients is crucial, I think that 90% of the quality of yakiniku depends on the meat. If the meat is good, then it's all good. This time, I tried the course menu for the first time. Of course, in terms of cost performance, it's excellent compared to ordering a la carte, but well, that depends on the situation. I enjoyed it very much.

I visited NO MEAT, NO LIFE.1st in Kabukicho, Shinjuku. I had a course with 2-hour all-you-can-drink option. The A5 rank meat was delicious. The alcohol goes down smoothly. Everything I ate was tasty, making me want to come back again. Thank you for the meal.
