I had work in Hamamatsucho on August 17, 2016, and afterwards I begged my colleagues to go eat some delicious yakiniku. We decided to visit a restaurant that I had been curious about after seeing their sign outside. Tokyo is known for its trendy yakiniku places (with wine pairings), but personally, I just wanted to dig into some tasty meat with rice. We arrived at around 6:30 pm and there were already two other groups of customers. We ordered and the staff's smiles and attentiveness were wonderful. The kimchi platter was homemade and delicious, as were the namul side dishes. The sirloin steak was the star of the show, juicy and flavorful. We also tried the recommended dishes, kainomi and shinsin, which were excellent. The food was simple yet packed with flavor, and paired perfectly with rice. The prices were reasonable, especially considering they use Hitachi beef. I found my ideal yakiniku spot in Tokyo. The staff's kindness and attention to detail made the experience even better. I will definitely be returning. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

As I passed by, I found Ushiga, a rare yakiniku restaurant located underground. The quality of the meat is good, the prices are reasonable, and I think it's a conscientious place. However, having a solo lunch may be a bit awkward as you may have to share a table with others. It's unavoidable because the grill is attached to the table.

Everyone hates Mondays, but my junior colleague and I were suffering from a severe case of "Sazae-san syndrome" since last night. However, on such days, the only way to get through is to focus solely on lunch from the morning onwards. Today, at the request of my hyper Monday-blues-stricken junior colleague, we decided to go for yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) for lunch. I wasn't expecting much from yakiniku restaurants around Hamamatsucho area for lunch, but we ended up going to Ushiga, which offers additional meat options during lunchtime (which is very important for me as I have a big appetite). Ushiga is located in a building basement next to the Claire Tower. When we entered, it was just after another customer left, so we had the place to ourselves. My junior colleague ordered the Harami lunch set for 1,100 yen, while I ordered the Stamina Yaki lunch set for 1,100 yen and, feeling that it wouldn't be enough, I instinctively added an additional Kalbi for 700 yen and an additional Harami for 700 yen. Ushiga uses delicious Akita Komachi rice, and they offer free extra rice, so we both opted for extra rice. By the way, at this point, my junior colleague was already giving me a look of disbelief haha. - The salad in the lunch set: It was a salad with a hint of spicy chili, just the right amount for us meat lovers, and it was delicious. - The bean sprout namul in the lunch set: Again, just the right amount for us meat lovers, and it was delicious. It's always nice to have a side dish. - The Kimchi and Wakame soup in the lunch set: Who doesn't want Kimchi with white rice! It's great to eat it alternately with the yakiniku! The Wakame soup had a strong broth but a gentle taste, which was good. - The Stamina Yaki lunch: It came with a three kinds of hormone (offal) platter, today it was heart, rumen, and gizzard. I thought it would come on a small plate, but it was a huge dish, which was a pleasant surprise. Even without the additional meat, a normal person would be more than full with the amount served. And most importantly, the taste and freshness were top-notch! It was so delicious and great value for money that I highly recommend it to fellow offal lovers like me. - The additional Kalbi: For 700 yen, you get four large pieces of Kalbi. It's a great deal, and the Kalbi is so tender and delicious. - The additional Harami: Similarly, for 700 yen, you get four large pieces of Harami. It's tender and has a rich meaty flavor that fills your heart. By the way, the green onion on the additional Harami in the photo was given to me by my green onion-hating junior colleague, so it didn't come with the dish haha. Both of us were eating enthusiastically, and my junior colleague couldn't help but be amazed by my eating speed, going beyond disbelief to being impressed. I was worried if the Harami lunch alone would be enough for my junior colleague, but it turned out to be more than enough for him. Cost performance is not just about being cheap (of course, but sometimes people misunderstand that, including myself), but Ushiga, where quantity, taste, and price all come together, is truly the epitome of great cost performance. I will definitely revisit Ushiga for lunch with my junior colleague soon. Thank you for the meal.

This time, I ordered the most popular course at the restaurant, which is full of volume! The highlight is the impressive amount of galbi, sirloin, and skirt steak served on a large plate!! Personally, the sirloin is tender and the most delicious. Lunch can be enjoyed for around 1000 yen, so I highly recommend it! Definitely give it a try‍♀️ <Ume Course> - Namul, Kimchi assortment - Salad - Negi Shio Tan (green onion salted beef tongue) - Assorted grilled vegetables - Galbi, sirloin, skirt steak - Special sirloin - Hormone assortment - Mini cuppa Ume Course ¥5500 All-you-can-drink ¥2000

For a regular lunch visit, the location is a 2-3 minute walk from Daimon Subway Station, above ground in a building on the basement floor. Upon entering at 11:50, all table seats were full. There were two 4-person tables in the tatami area, with one table available. When I mentioned I was alone, they offered to share the table in the tatami area. I hesitated to share the grill with strangers, so I looked for a menu item that didn't require grilling. I ordered the "Black Wagyu Beef Cutlet Set" for 980 yen, which was already cooked. The beef was delicious, and the sweet sauce was tasty. Looking at the menu again, it said "Black Wagyu: Even the cutlet is A5 quality!" I was surprised that such high-quality beef was available for under 1,000 yen. The onions cooked with the beef were also sweet and delicious. Rice refills are free, even for a large portion. Interestingly, the women I shared the table with also avoided using the grill and ordered the "Stone Bibimbap." It can be tough sharing a grill with strangers, right? Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

I had the Kalbi & BBQ Pork Crunch. The pork was very tender and delicious. The seasoning was not too sweet and had a great taste. There was a good amount of meat. The kimchi, salad, bean sprout namul, and soup were also delicious. You can expect a wait around 12 o'clock.

It is a small yakiniku restaurant underground. I visited for lunch. I entered around the opening time. The restaurant was almost full. I ordered the greedy lunch set for 1500 yen. I was served with various namul and kimchi. The soup, rice, and meat came quickly. It was very delicious, and I thought it was a good value for the price. By the time I left, there were about 5 people waiting. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I always rely on Ushiga for great food. If you're in the mood for meat at lunch, the cutlet set for 980 yen is the way to go! You can get a free extra helping of rice, making it a great deal. Even though it's called cutlet, it's actually A5 rank meat, so it's incredibly delicious.

This is not a restaurant with a lot of seats. The atmosphere is like a normal yakiniku restaurant. The meat here is delicious. The kalbi was tasty, but the liver was especially delicious. I cooked it properly and there was no unpleasant smell, it was very tasty. While the hormone was recommended, the meat was also delicious, so it was good.

Located in Minato-ku, Hamamatsucho 2-chome, Yakiniku Ushiga is a popular spot just a 5-minute walk from JR Hamamatsucho Station North Exit. We used it for a celebration after our victory, and it was packed, so we were lucky to get a table. We started with the tongue, ordering the Negi Shio Tongue and the Ue Shio Tongue, both fresh and tender with just the right amount of chewiness, absolutely delicious. The Kalbi and Harami were also satisfyingly thick and delicious. The Ue Kalbi melts in your mouth. The staff frequently changed the grill for us, providing excellent service. While there are other popular yakiniku restaurants nearby, Ushiga definitely holds its own. Thank you for the feast!

I added an extra 700 yen for the 1,300 yen Kalbi lunch before the price change (now 1,500 yen). This restaurant offers A-rank Wagyu beef for lunch, so the Kalbi in the barbecue lunch is incredibly delicious and satisfying. I love the feeling of happiness when I grill the Kalbi myself, put it on rice, wrap the meat around the rice, and savor it. Although the lunch price has increased, the restaurant has also upgraded the quality of the meat. I will continue to visit this place! Another popular item is the stir-fried meat and vegetable lunch, which tends to sell out quickly. I am curious to try that as well.

I used my first trip to Tokyo in a while to meet up with a friend who loves yakiniku. We chose the course with sirloin for 6,500 yen per person. We should have added the all-you-can-drink option because we ended up drinking quite a lot of highballs, making it a bit more expensive. The taste of the meat was excellent. It would have been even better if the interior of the restaurant was a bit cleaner.

I went out for lunch and was lucky to get in smoothly. I had the black wagyu beef cutlet set meal (980 yen), and the salad, namul, kimchi, and wakame soup all had flavors that went well with the rice and were delicious! Considering the prices of other nearby restaurants, this place offers good value for money. They also have other lunch options like yakiniku.

It was popular and there was a line, but it was worth it as the food was delicious. The rare cuts had a perfect balance of lean meat and marbling, showing the high quality of the meat. It's a bit pricey, but worth it. I recommend it and will definitely go back.

Located a 3-minute walk from JR Hamamatsucho Station North Exit and a 2-minute walk from Exit B4 of Toei Oedo Line Daimon Station, this yakiniku restaurant is a favorite spot for lunch. This time, I visited on a weekday evening. The Hormone Mori is a must-have, along with the loin, negi-tan salt, salad, kimchi, and yukkejang soup. All the dishes were delicious, but the meat was especially good value for money. The hormone was incredibly tasty, with a crispy exterior and a flavorful fatty interior. They serve Hitachi beef, and every cut was delicious. The attentive service from the staff is also a highlight of this restaurant.

- Located between Hamamatsucho and Daimon, a yakiniku restaurant - Around 80% crowded around 12:00 on weekdays - Accepts paypay and Minato Ward premium vouchers [Food] - Harami lunch set for 1100 yen - Yakiniku lunch set with kimchi, salad, namul, wakame soup, and rice - The rice is made with Akita Komachi rice and is quite generous even in a regular size - The harami (skirt steak) was tender and came with about 7 slices - The grilling was quick due to strong heat.

I randomly chose this restaurant thinking it was a meat place. I tried the 1100 yen harami (skirt steak). The most popular item seems to be the 1300 yen kalbi (short rib). It comes with raw vegetables, bean sprout namul, and soup. The meat was delicious, but there were only 5 slices so it was gone in an instant. I wish there was more meat, that would have been perfect.

Arrived at 1:05 PM and had to wait because it was full. Sat at the table at 1:14 PM. The yakiniku lunch costs 1300 yen, and the kalbi costs 700 yen. It comes with 6 slices of black wagyu kalbi, salad, namul, kimchi, chige soup, and rice. The meat is a bit tough but has marbling. It is a bit fatty but still quite tasty. It's enjoyable to grill and eat. A little charring is also nice. Ordered an additional kalbi, which came with 4 slices of meat. Overall, the yakiniku lunch was decent and satisfying. On the way back, visited Zojoji Temple and saw the huge Tokyo Tower.

I decided to visit a new restaurant, "Ushi Masu," for my second round of restaurant hopping. I originally planned to go for the higher-priced "yakiniku lunch," but ended up changing my mind to the slightly cheaper "harami lunch," which is my favorite. Although the portion was small, I could feel the high-quality meat. However, it didn't leave a strong impression on me, and I don't feel the need to revisit the restaurant.

In the morning, I had a work meeting at the main gate, and after finishing that, it was lunchtime. There were about three restaurants around here that I was considering, but they were closed for regular holidays or unexpectedly closed when I arrived. I really hope that the COVID-19 pandemic ends soon. I don't have much time to spare as I have another appointment coming up. So, when I happened to pass by a restaurant called "Yakiniku Ushiga" that was open, I decided to go in. The restaurant is located on the basement floor of a building along a street just east of the Tokyo Metro Daimon Station on the first Keihin street. When I entered and went down the stairs, I saw tables with grills set up right away, and there were also private rooms in the back. I chose to sit at a table in the back. There were acrylic boards placed between the tables for infection prevention. Now, onto the order. There were five lunch menu options: "Yakiniku Lunch," "Stamina Yaki Lunch," "Black Wagyu Cutlet Set," "Yakiniku Restaurant's Tan Stew," and "Yakiniku Restaurant's Miso Pork Set." Since it was my first time, I went with the "Yakiniku Lunch." Soon, a set of salad, namul, kimchi, and wakame soup was served, and the grill on the table was lit. Then, the galbi arrived when the grill was hot. It had a good amount of fat and was marinated in sauce. I lightly grilled it and enjoyed it. The meat in this restaurant is only A5-ranked "Hitachi beef," but it wasn't overly fatty, and I thought it was delicious. The sauce was a bit sweet, but within an acceptable range. The portion size was good considering the price. The salad and soup were average, but it was nice to have namul included. The rice was made with Akita Komachi rice, and refills were free. As I got more rice, I found that I needed more meat, so I ordered an additional serving of galbi. It was a bit less than the initial set, but still came with five pieces. I grilled and ate it right away, finishing everything including the rice. If there was a complaint, it would be that the space between the tables was narrow. Especially with the acrylic boards now, it felt even tighter. When I received a phone call and tried to leave my seat, it was a bit of a struggle to pass through. It's understandable in a high-rent area, but the tables were a bit too close together. Overall, I was satisfied with the lunch. The bill came to 2,000 yen for the "Yakiniku Lunch" at 1,300 yen and the "additional galbi" at 700 yen. Thank you for the meal!

I made a reservation in advance for my business trip to Tokyo. There were many salarymen in the area. I was looking forward to trying Hitachi beef, and I had the sirloin which was delicious with a sweet taste of fat. The beef tongue was decent. I had a few drinks and mainly ate meat, but the prices were not too high, so I think it's a good value restaurant!
