The restaurant offers a specialty dish called "Ultimate" thick-sliced beef tongue grilled with a side of pot-cooked rice for 2900 yen. The photo shows a large portion of rice. Although the price is not cheap, the deliciousness is worth it! It is a must-visit for beef tongue lovers. The beef tongue is thickly sliced and cooked medium rare (you can choose the cooking style). It is delicious when eaten with the table salt and grated yam provided. You can choose between "Beef Tongue Curry" or "Beef Tongue Stew" for the small dish on the upper left. The curry rice is even available for seconds. I also ordered the Shiitake Mushroom Gorgonzola which was cheesy and delicious! However, I might have been a bit too greedy in terms of the cost.

I was recommended a menu, but I was asked to leave before 30 minutes had passed since the dish arrived. I stayed for about 50 minutes. They mentioned that the set meal has a 1-hour limit, but I think it would be better to wait for 1 hour after the meal is served. It's uncomfortable to be approached while eating. I won't be going back, which is a shame.

I arrived at the restaurant at 11:25, but there was already a line. I had to wait for about 30 minutes before entering. The beef tongue is thick and delicious, but I don't think it's extremely special. Compared to other beef tongue grills, the prices are on the higher side. If you plan to go, it's better to make a reservation in advance.

I didn't make a reservation, just walked in. Ordered mostly beef tongue dishes as recommended. The beef tongue tataki was soft and delicious. The charcoal-grilled shiitake mushrooms with gorgonzola were juicy and tasty. The teppanyaki with a mix of hormone and kalbi in miso sauce with cabbage was great with drinks or even with white rice. Reminded me of a dish similar to sweet and sour pork. I can't remember the beef tongue kimchi kalbi dish, maybe I didn't eat it because I was drinking. The Chateaubriand steak was expensive but worth it, I'll order it again next time. The garlic rice was also good. Overall, I was very satisfied with the food, the prices were reasonable, and the staff were friendly. They also offer set meals for dinner, and I noticed some customers just came in for that. It seems like they have a good turnover.

I used it for lunch! I made a reservation in advance. I went on a Sunday and there was a line, so I think it's better to make a reservation. The beef tongue was tender and very delicious! The lunch came with curry, salad, and macaroni salad, and I was satisfied and full.

I visited this restaurant for the first time and the staff were very kind and explained everything in detail, which was great. I ordered the thick-cut beef tongue grilled set meal, and the curry that came with it was deliciously spicy. They also mentioned that for those who don't like spicy food, they can switch it for beef stew. The curry and soup both had thick slices of meat in them, making it a very satisfying lunch! I look forward to going back to try their specialty next time.

I had been curious about this place for a while, and despite it being a popular spot with long lines, I was able to make a reservation through Tabelog and go. There were about 10 people waiting in line around noon, but I was able to enter right away because I had a reservation. My first impression of the beef tongue was that it was smaller than I had expected, but once I tasted it, the texture was excellent and the flavor filled my mouth. It was one of the most delicious beef tongues I have ever had. The rice cooked in a pot was just the right firmness and paired very well with the beef tongue, making it very delicious. The beef tongue curry, to be honest, was just average and not really necessary. It's much tastier to eat the beef tongue and rice without the curry. I went there feeling very hungry, but the portion size was sufficient.

I finally got to visit the popular restaurant that everyone has been talking about! There were a lot of foreign customers and it was crowded. I arrived before opening time and managed to get in on the first round. The service was very polite and welcoming. The specialty is thick-cut beef tongue! They cook the rare tongue meat to perfection, making it soft and chewy with amazing flavor. The rice cooked in a feather pot is fluffy and delicious. The set meal comes with salad, oxtail soup, and curry. If you don't like spicy food, you can switch the curry for tongue stew. The curry is spicy and has chunks of beef tongue, which was so good that I couldn't stop eating it. Despite the wait, it's definitely worth visiting this popular restaurant at least once. ▶︎ Menu: Ultimate Thick-Cut Beef Tongue Grilled Set Meal ¥2,640 -----------Crowd Information / Customer Base----------- ▶︎ Arrived on a weekday at 11:28 AM, approximately 20 people waiting ▶︎ Entered the restaurant at 11:35 AM ▶︎ Started eating at 11:45 AM ▶︎ Female:Male ratio = 6:4

The meat was incredibly tender and I was impressed! But the portions are quite large, so it's best to go when you're hungry. We lined up around 11:15 and got in around 12:00 without a reservation. When we left, there was a huge line, so reservations are a must!

In the midst of summer, I had been losing my appetite, but suddenly felt a craving for meat after a long time. I decided to go to a restaurant to satisfy my appetite, and chose "Shinjuku Yakiniku Gyutan no Lemon" that I had been curious about. It's about a 15-minute walk from Shinjuku and a 10-minute walk from Okubo, so the access might not be the best. I arrived around 1 pm and there was already a line formed, so it was quite crowded. I waited with about 4 people in front of me, and in about 5 minutes, I was seated inside. The restaurant was fully packed, mostly with female customers. I ordered the popular "Gokumi" thick-sliced beef tongue set that I often see on social media. The set costs 2900 yen and features thick-cut beef tongue cooked over charcoal. You can choose between extra rice for free, beef tongue curry, or beef tongue stew. I waited for about 7 minutes, which was faster than I expected. First, I tried the beef tongue, which had a firm and chewy texture. Then, I tasted the beef tongue curry, which was said to be spicy, but even though I'm not good with spicy food, I could still eat it. The price of beef tongue has been rising, so the price might be understandable. However, I was satisfied as I could enjoy the meal until the end. This restaurant is perfect for a casual date or as a little treat for yourself when you're feeling tired!

You should make a reservation and go! I heard it was popular, but there was a line all the way to the outside stairs!! I think it would be tough in hot weather... I ordered the classic beef tongue only set meal that I had seen online! Since they said the curry was spicy, I asked to change it to beef tongue stew ^^ The price is a bit high for lunch, but the thick slices were so tender that you could bite through them easily, and it came with salad and soup, plus you can have unlimited refills of white rice, so I think it's worth it!! I want to go back to this restaurant again~!

I ordered the premium thick-cut beef tongue and A5-ranked kalbi grilled meat set. I had decided to order the premium thick-cut beef tongue from the moment I saw the picture, so when it arrived at my table, I was already impressed. It was incredibly thick and delicious, and the grated yam and tongue curry were also amazing.

Second visit. The cost performance is still great! Two women visited and we were satisfied with the generous portions - the Chateaubriand of tongue, the seared beef tongue, and the negi-tan. Everything was delicious, but it would be nice to have some light dishes for a change. The staff are mostly foreigners, but they are all very friendly and lively. The system where you can give tips to your favorite staff is wonderful. I even thought about whether it affects their motivation. Let's find our favorite staff member!

The staff were very friendly. I ordered the specialty "Gokumi" thick-cut beef tongue grilled set for 2900 yen (tax included) and the specialty "Gokumi" thick-cut beef tongue & A5 rank Wagyu short rib grilled set for 3900 yen (tax included). Although I had high expectations, the portions seemed a bit small when they arrived. However, the meat was satisfying and I left feeling full. The curry was spicy. For those who don't like spicy food, you can change it to stew. Rice is free for refills. I visited during lunch on a weekday and it was quite crowded, so I recommend making a reservation through Tabelog.

I arrived a few minutes late for my 6:30 reservation and found a long line already formed. I was relieved to have made a reservation. Inside, there were a lot of foreign customers, perhaps because the restaurant was featured in a guide for tourists. The staff were also mostly foreigners. The meat was not too expensive, so it was okay.

The staircase was narrow and led underground, giving it a hidden gem feel, but the staff were very energetic and lively. It seemed like there would be quite a wait without a reservation! The tongue was very thick and delicious! The curry was quite spicy!

I came to the Shinjuku Nishiguchi store for weekend lunch. Although three stores are operating simultaneously, there was a line at the Shinjuku Nishiguchi store from the opening. I ordered three types of lunch sets. It's clear that the thickness of the beef tongue in the 3000 yen set is different. The recommended way to cook the beef tongue was medium, and the tenderness was excellent. There is also a lunch set using A5 black beef ribs. The beef ingredients are top quality. Highly recommended. There were many foreign customers, so it is recommended to make a reservation before going.

The restaurant focuses on the popular "thick-cut beef tongue grilled with ha-gama cooked rice" that has been buzzing on social media. While it may not be the most cost-effective option, I highly recommend this place when you want to treat yourself to a delicious lunch!【Review】☆Specialty "Ultimate" thick-cut beef tongue grilled set meal for 2,640 yenI tried the most popular set meal! The main dish, the thick-cut beef tongue, is carefully grilled over charcoal after selecting the most flavorful part from the tongue base. The hot and fluffy rice is cooked in a ha-gama using special grade A rice. Today, they used "Kinumusume" rice from Shimane Prefecture, which paired exceptionally well with the thick-cut beef tongue. In addition, the set meal includes tail soup, beef tongue curry, grated yam, side dishes, and salad. You can also get free extra rice and refills. It was a perfect and satisfying lunch experience! Thank you for the delicious meal!

When I entered the store, it was already full of customers, but despite being busy, the atmosphere, the staff's service, and the cleanliness of the kitchen were all excellent. I enjoyed freshly grilled beef tongue at the counter. The thick slices were very delicious, and even dining alone, I felt very comfortable.

The staff were all bright and friendly. However, there was one issue... the place was so popular that customers waiting made it hard to enter or exit. The stairs were narrow, and I started to worry if there were other evacuation routes in case of emergency.

For a beginner like me at a beef tongue specialty store, the thick-cut beef tongue texture was a bit surprising. It felt a little complex to have the sensation of a cow's tongue scraping against my own, but I decided to just enjoy the beef tongue dishes. I think it's a good place for beef tongue lovers to simply savor the chewy texture of beef tongue.
