[Ikebukuro] Grill Marunouchi-tei's Adult Child Lunch Grill Marunouchi-tei Seibu Ikebukuro Store 1-28-1 Minami Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo Visit Date: Holiday 12:10-12:50 Weather: Sunny Upon arrival, there were many empty seats, so I was able to enter the restaurant quickly. However, by the time I left, it was almost full. The customers varied from individuals to couples to families. The Adult Child Lunch is priced at 1,760 yen (excluding tax), and you can add a drink for an additional 230 yen. I chose the Ginger Ale. The set includes a Black Wagyu Hamburger Steak, Oirase Egg Omelette Rice, and Crab Cream Croquette, with a mini dessert at the end. Hmm, for this price, the quality seemed a bit lacking. I felt like I could have gotten a tastier and cheaper meal at a family restaurant.

I visited a Western-style restaurant at Seibu Department Store for dinner. I had a hamburger, crab cream croquette, and beer. I ordered and the beer arrived promptly, a bit early I thought, and then the hamburgers arrived shortly after. The hamburger made with black wagyu beef had a rich meaty flavor that spread in my mouth. The crab cream croquette had a simple, old-fashioned taste typical of a traditional Western-style restaurant. Overall, it was more of a standard taste than a special one. If you are in the area, be sure to give it a try!

I visited a restaurant in San Hamana and tried their special omelette rice. Unfortunately, the restaurant I originally planned to visit in Higashi-Ikebukuro was under renovation, so I ended up here. The restaurant follows the legacy of the former Toho Parlor from the mid-Showa era, offering Western dishes based on their recipe. I ordered the Tomato Sauce Omelette Rice for 930 yen. The interior of the restaurant was calm, clean, and had a sense of luxury. The music playing was a bit upbeat. The customers were mostly older, creating a comfortable atmosphere. The omelette rice arrived in 10 minutes, with a fluffy and creamy egg omelette on top of the rice. The rice had a rich flavor similar to bouillon, with a slightly tangy taste and a slightly uneven color. The tomato sauce on top was light with a fresh acidity. The dish also included chicken and onions, adding a moderate amount of flavor. The balance of flavors was well-maintained, and the portion size was just right. Despite some minor imperfections, the omelette rice was a solid and satisfying choice. The total bill came to 1023 yen. Overall, it was a good meal, and I left feeling full.

In 1964, a Western-style restaurant was born in Tokyo's Marunouchi Building called "Toho Parlor." The menu includes classic dishes like hamburg steak, beef stew, shrimp fry, crab cream croquette, and omurice. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a department store's Western-style restaurant, with white napkins and cutlery set on the table before the meal is served. I chose a limited-time menu item, the Omurice with seafood tomato sauce stew, which was delicious. The egg on top was fluffy and the tomato sauce was creamy and mild. The portion size was just right for me, but may be small for those with larger appetites. This nostalgic Western-style restaurant evokes a sense of luxury and charm, especially when located in a department store.

This is the first restaurant review of 2020. On New Year's Day, I will be enjoying traditional New Year's dishes, so my food adventures will start from the 2nd. During the first three days of the year, many small independent restaurants are still closed, so I decided to visit Seibu Department Store in Ikebukuro, where there are no closure risks. The target for this day was a Western-style restaurant in the dining park on the 8th floor of Seibu Department Store's Ikebukuro main store. The restaurant I chose was "Jasmine Thai Seibu Ikebukuro Store". This restaurant is the second one I have reviewed on Tabelog, but I have visited this dining park multiple times before starting my reviews. The restaurant has its roots in "Toho Parlor", which was established in 1964 in Tokyo's Maru Building. Toho Parlor was the first ice cream specialty cafe in Japan and was part of Toho Group's venture into the food and beverage industry. The restaurant I visited opened in April 2011 and is operated by Toho Retail Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Toho Co., Ltd. The restaurant is located on the 8th floor of Seibu Department Store's Ikebukuro main store, which is divided into three areas (north, central, south) from the 2nd basement floor to the 8th floor. The dining park spans the central and north areas. The restaurant is located in the central area. I arrived at the restaurant around 10:35 am, and there was only one other group of customers. The interior of the restaurant is small but stylish, giving off a high-end vibe typical of chic Western-style restaurants. The menu mainly consists of hamburger steaks and omelets, with variations based on these core items. I decided to order the Hamburger Combination Menu, which includes black wagyu hamburger steak, shrimp fry, and crab cream croquette with rice. The total cost was 2,024 yen, making it a slightly luxurious choice for my first meal out of the year. The food took about 17 minutes to be served, and when it arrived, the presentation was impressive with the hamburger steak, crab cream croquette, and shrimp fry arranged beautifully on the plate.

I went to a Western-style restaurant in the restaurant area of Seibu Ikebukuro during lunchtime on a weekday. It was a little early for lunch, around 11 o'clock, but the place was quite crowded. The menu featured dishes like hamburgers and omurice, priced around 1000 yen. This time, I ordered omurice with demi-glace sauce. The rich demi-glace sauce paired with the fluffy omelette on the omurice was delicious. The service was a bit dry. This restaurant is reliable, so if you're unsure where to have lunch, it's worth considering. Thank you for the meal.

I visited here in October 2019 after a long time. I had a draft beer in a medium-sized glass, shrimp fry, cheese hamburger, soup set, and salad set. Each set came with bread and rice. The shrimp fry had a crispy texture, and I liked the black demi-glace sauce on the hamburger. The slightly sweet bread was my favorite.

A Western-style restaurant located in Dining Park Ikebukuro on the 8th floor of Seibu Department Store Ikebukuro Main Store. The restaurant has a slightly nostalgic bistro-style exterior with displayed food samples. When entering around 7:30 pm on weekends, the restaurant is about 70% full. The cozy atmosphere inside the restaurant features burgundy-colored tables and sofa seating along the right side and back wall. The menu includes the following: Appetizers/Salads: - Scallop Carpaccio - Smoked Salmon - Tomato and Mozzarella Caprese - Prosciutto Caesar Salad - Seafood Salad Soups: - Corn Potage - Minestrone - Kids' Lunch Black Wagyu Hamburg Steak: - Demi-Glace Sauce - Grated Japanese-style Sauce - Hokkaido Cream Cheese Sauce Meat Grill: - Grilled Iwate Chicken with Lemon or Tomato Sauce - Iberico Pork with Ginger Sauce - Domestic Beef Sirloin Steak with Salt and Lemon or Original Steak Sauce Hamburg Combination: - Wagyu Hamburg Steak and Crab Cream Croquette - Wagyu Hamburg Steak, Shrimp Fry, and Crab Cream Croquette And more... I couldn't decide whether to just have the omelette rice, but I wanted to try a few other things, so I ordered the omelette rice and seafood in tomato sauce. The dishes arrived in about 10 minutes. The omelette rice was fluffy and creamy with ketchup-flavored rice inside. The egg was lightly seasoned, enhancing the natural flavor of the egg, with a rich and smooth finish. The ketchup rice contained chicken pieces that were cooked just right. The butter aroma was pleasant but not overpowering. The tomato sauce on top was flavorful but didn't overpower the taste of the omelette rice. The seafood in tomato sauce was smooth and thick with large prawns, sliced scallops, and small squid. The seafood had a good flavor, but the prawns were slightly overcooked, making them a bit tough. The side vegetables included glazed carrots, mashed potatoes, and green beans.

Ikebukuro Seibu's restaurant floor, Grill Marunouchi-tei, is a Western-style restaurant that I occasionally visit. In October 2019, I went there with a friend for dinner. We ordered the Black Wagyu hamburger with demi-glace sauce and shrimp fry with tartar sauce set (salad, bread, soup, and rice included). The hamburger is my favorite, but the shrimp fry was a bit lacking in shrimp. Despite that, I found myself enjoying it again. In January 2019, I went there with a friend for dinner. We opted for the night lunch set (1980 yen) which included a demi-glace hamburger. I really like the rich demi-glace sauce. It also comes with a small appetizer, making it a good beer snack. I also tried the shrimp fry (1540 yen) and the soup set (soup and bread) for 430 yen. The elegant shrimp fry with 3 pieces and tartar sauce was delightful. The bread was also elegant with a hint of sweetness, making it quite delicious.

Ikebukuro Seibu Marunouchi-tei is a favorite restaurant of mine, known for their Hamburg steak with rich demi-glace sauce. In March 2018, I visited with a friend for a night lunch. The night lunch set includes a starter plate, choice of main dish, and a glass of draft beer. For the main dish, you can choose from grilled chicken, Hamburg steak, or salmon meuniere. Since I love their Hamburg steak, I chose it with demi-glace sauce. You can also choose a Japanese-style grated radish sauce. Another dish we ordered was a plate with omurice and gratin. The gratin was a spring-colored dish made with red snapper and cabbage sprouts.

It's acceptable. It doesn't go beyond imagination, but it's delicious.

In terms of location, the cost performance is not bad, but the taste was clearly lacking.

The hamburger is delicious. The seafood gratin seemed a bit roughly prepared.

I suddenly felt like eating Western food. I'm glad I came to this restaurant. I had the adult child's lunch. It wasn't lunch, but it was delicious! Thank you for the meal ☘️
