I revisited the restaurant! It is located a few minutes' walk from Ikebukuro East Exit (center), towards the Don Quijote direction after crossing the signal. It is just before Ikebukuro Park. I visited on a Saturday at 4 pm. I aimed for a time when it would not be crowded, but it was almost full. Fortunately, I had made a reservation so I could easily get in. The restaurant opened in April, so the interior was clean and the staff were friendly! I was able to enjoy delicious meat. The thick-cut beef tongue, marinated harami, and top mino were delicious with a wonderful umami taste and tenderness. The premium kalbi was also amazing, with sweet but not overwhelming fat that just melts. The negi sauce that came with the beef tongue was so delicious that I asked for more, willing to pay extra, but they kindly gave it to me for free. I fell in love... The quality at this price is surprising. My only concern is whether they can continue at this price point. I wish I had encountered this place during my student days or when I was a new graduate.

I visited for lunch. I have been trying various all-you-can-eat yakiniku restaurants in Ikebukuro, but haven't found one that really stands out yet. However, this one was quite good! The photo is of the assorted meat that came out first. I forgot to take photos of the other meats (^◇^;) It happens all the time... Personally, I remember the tongue and salt being delicious. I would like to try the all-you-can-eat option at this restaurant again. Thank you for the meal.

I went for lunch. It was a self-cook style restaurant, and I thought it was hot inside when I entered, but it wasn't too bad during the meal. The prices were reasonable, and I thought it was just right for lunch. There were many lunch menu options, so I might have trouble deciding, but it was very delicious! I would like to use it again.

I used it for the all-you-can-eat option!! Every type of meat looked delicious and stimulated my appetite!! The raw egg over rice was so tasty that I had multiple helpings (*^^*) I think this restaurant is truly worth the price. It's a great place to come with close friends.

I went around the end of lunchtime. It was just during the changeover period and they kindly guided me to a four-person table even though I was dining alone. The restaurant doesn't take a break between lunch and dinner, but they efficiently rearrange the condiments at each table. They seemed busy with evening reservations starting around 5 pm, but they responded promptly and politely in proper Japanese, which was quite impressive. The Wagyu Kalbi was delicious as expected.

I visited the restaurant around 2pm on a regular day. It was full, so I had to wait for about 15 minutes. There were many foreign customers, as well as groups of young people. The restaurant had two floors, and the second floor had a more calm atmosphere. I ordered the "Soft Beef Kalbi Lunch Medium" (880 yen) and some beef hormone (150 yen). The total cost was around 1000 yen, which is quite reasonable! When I sat down, there was a grill on the table, and side dishes were placed while I went to the restroom. I was happy to see three small dishes (namul, kimchi, tofu) included. The meat arrived quickly, and the hormone was tender and juicy with a nice char on it, just like a regular yakiniku restaurant. The kalbi was thinly sliced and slightly frozen, but it cooked quickly and was delicious. Even without the additional hormone, the amount of meat in the "medium" set was sufficient, and I think women would be satisfied. Although not shown in the photos, you can also choose a complimentary soft drink. I left around 2:30pm, and there were still groups of women waiting to be seated. This restaurant is a rare find where you can enjoy a full yakiniku meal for under 1000 yen.

I ordered three kinds of yakiniku for 1680 yen (lunch) and as always, it was delicious. When you order lunch at this restaurant, they first bring out a salad and side dishes like bean sprouts and tofu along with the rice. Even though it's a casual dining place, especially during lunchtime, most places only give a small side dish as a bonus, but this restaurant is different. Even the bean sprout namul is tasty. Even if you go alone, they will seat you at a table for four and provide plenty of charcoal for grilling individually. I think this restaurant offers great value for money. I personally think the premium kalbi and premium tongue yakiniku are tastier for the same price.

It was a Saturday night when I made a reservation and visited the restaurant. There was a line of people waiting outside the restaurant...! It was definitely a good decision to make a reservation. I recommend making a reservation before going. We had the special all-you-can-eat course, and we ordered drinks separately! The starter meat platter at the beginning of the course (photo) was more than I expected, and most importantly, it was delicious! My personal recommendations are the Negi-tan salt, special Misuji, and garlic top Harami from the menu! The staff were very quick and the service was stress-free. The cost performance is just amazing!! Don't forget to wrap the Sangchu lettuce!!

"Ikebukuro branch vice president of the Association to Overthrow the Bad Custom of Starting with Tongue Salt at Yakiniku" (laughs) Well, if you went to a yakiniku restaurant because you wanted to eat tongue, that's fine. I'm not saying this to people who have a policy of enjoying a light taste like sushi. I'm also not saying anything to those who prefer to save their favorite items for later. Did you really want to eat Kalbi, Rosu, Harami, Zabuton, or Misuji? Then let's grill that. Let's eat it. That's all. (laughs) But it's meaningless to end the review like that, so I'll reluctantly continue. It's on the way from Ikebukuro East Exit Station to Minami-Ikebukuro Park. It's right before the park. I remember there used to be a store called "Ikebukuro Gyoza Factory, Gyoza is More Important than Three Meals" which was a different business type store of "Osaka Ohsho" at this location. I used it for lunch. "Stamina Teishoku (Large)" (1,680 yen) + "Additional Hormone" (150 yen) + "Black Oolong Tea" (330 yen) - as shown in the photo. *Due to the loss of the receipt, it is unclear whether it was tax-inclusive or exclusive. The price is from the tablet. The set meal includes rice, soup, salad, kimchi, and three side dishes. Rice, soup, kimchi are all-you-can-eat. The stamina plate includes three pieces each of beef kalbi, beef harami, beef tongue salt, and pork toro, with an appropriate amount of hormone. I added hormone because I was drawn to the store by the sight of the stamina plate. I started grilling my favorite hormone first. It takes some time. Hormone and kalbi were great. The tongue, harami, and pork toro were a bit tough, but delicious when grilled well. That's how it was. However, the responsibility of the restaurant is half of the evaluation because grilling yakiniku is based on the quality of the meat and one's own skills. It was delicious. Considering the price, I think it's good. Thank you for the meal. I want to keep the group in step. But I want you to stop unconsciously grilling from tongue salt. You can ask for a grill exchange. It's a waste to sacrifice the order you want to eat and think about the grill. There was a store in the past that clearly stated, "Grill exchange is not available for lunch." By the way, I am also the chairman of the "Ikebukuro branch of the Association to Overthrow the Bad Custom of Starting with Cabbage at Tonkatsu" (laughs). "Mom, why? So much cabbage... my tonkatsu will get cold (cries)" I still regret not being able to save that child. (Responsibility: Kyonatsu Shuusora, January 21, 2023) (23 reviews/3.11)

Lunchtime is until 5:00 PM, which is quite long. It's commonly known as a popular yakiniku restaurant. I didn't have high expectations because the all-you-can-eat dinner is only 2980 yen. I decided to try the premium beef kalbi and loin set for 1580 yen. It was delicious. It's not as tender as the meat from a high-end restaurant that costs 20,000 yen per person, but it's definitely tasty. It might have been slightly frozen, but it was still delicious. Even the kimchi that came with the set meal was tasty. The sauce was also delicious. The restaurant has a calm atmosphere with only six seats at four-person tables. Of course, even solo diners can sit at a table. They use binchotan charcoal for grilling. It's a good restaurant.

On Sports Day, 2022/10/10 (Monday, public holiday), I visited the restaurant around noon. There is parking available near the store. You can choose your meat and it comes with salad, kimchi, three side dishes (?), soup, and rice. You can have unlimited refills of kimchi and rice. The side dishes included something like radish kimchi, tofu with gochujang, and bean sprout namul. The meat options have different varieties and you can choose the portion size. While it may not compare to high-quality meat, I think the meat is relatively delicious for the price. There are also menu options that don't require grilling the meat. They offer lunch even on weekends and holidays, which is convenient and affordable. You can also change the rice and soup for an additional fee, such as changing the soup to kalbi kukbap or the rice to stone pot bibimbap or cold noodles, which is great.

Happy New Year! I had my first yakiniku lunch of the year at "Gyusando Ikebukuro Honten" in Ikebukuro. I chose the most hearty option on the lunch menu, the "Bakamori Yaki" for 1,000 yen. It came with 250g of meat, salad, namul, hiyayakko, kimchi, soup, rice, and a drink. You can get free refills of rice and soup. First, they brought out the rice, soup, salad, kimchi, etc. Then, each table was given a charcoal grill, and finally, the meat was served. The 250g of meat included beef kalbi, pork kalbi, and miso pork belly. There was plenty of meat to grill. I won't comment on whether it was delicious or not, but I enjoyed it and left feeling satisfied. Thank you for the delicious meal.

There are several all-you-can-eat courses available, but the differences are not very clear. I believe there are courses priced at 2000 yen, 3000 yen, 4000 yen for Wagyu beef, and 5000 yen for a special selection. When you enter the restaurant and look at the standard menu or ask the staff, it is still difficult to understand the differences between the courses. Each course comes with a set amount of meat that is served first. The 2000 yen course has a 90-minute time limit, while the others have a 120-minute time limit. A table next to us tried to order the 2000 yen course, but they were told they needed at least 3 people to order it. After ordering, you can add additional items from the menu for each course. The menu also includes a variety of items like kimchi and namul. In the end, the meat was delicious, especially the Wagyu beef which was tender and tasty. However, some additional items we ordered did not arrive, the charcoal grill was not very hot, and the place was a bit dirty. Perhaps it was because it was shortly after the state of emergency was lifted and the restaurant was not very busy. Hopefully, things will improve next time.

Recently opened yakiniku restaurant offering a lunch menu starting from the 800 yen range. The bright neon sign is hard to miss even during the day. The restaurant has a long layout with seating on the first floor and second floor. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with a mix of customers including many from other countries. The menu offers a variety of options from affordable set meals to higher-end cuts of beef. The staff are all from overseas. The lunch set I ordered included premium cuts of wagyu beef, which were tender and delicious. The kimchi served was also tasty, with a perfect balance of sweetness, spiciness, and acidity. Overall, it was a satisfying meal in a comfortable setting.

Located a 3-minute walk from the east exit of Ikebukuro Station, this yakiniku restaurant is situated near Minami-Ikebukuro Park. They offer all-you-can-eat options at various price points, with a variety of meat types available. The lunch menu is also extensive, with high-quality meats like "premium" cuts that are delicious. I had the lunch set with Wagyu beef kalbi and harami, which was satisfying. The restaurant is a good option for lunch, with customizable options and a welcoming atmosphere.

Delicious! Being able to eat wagyu beef at this price is just amazing.

The price is cheap and the all-you-can-eat meat is delicious. Overall, it was a high-class restaurant. I didn't notice the one-drink policy until I entered, so I wish it was written more prominently. There are 1st and 2nd floors, but I didn't go up to the 2nd floor. The 1st floor seemed a bit small and cramped.

On a regular day, I went for a morning health check-up at Sunshine City, so for lunch, I went to Ikebukuro for an all-you-can-eat meal. It was a great deal, the meat was delicious, and I really enjoyed it. Personally, I loved the Namul and Kimchi, they were delicious.

The all-you-can-eat buffet with a wide variety of options was priced at 3000 yen with a one drink limit, so in the end it came out to around 4000 yen per person.

I visited a course with all-you-can-drink for 2,980 yen. I arrived around 7:30 pm and the restaurant was almost full. I think it may be part of the Gyuudou group from the west exit. The menu was similar. They served a generous amount of meat as a starter, and there was a good variety of menu options. The quality of the meat was good for the price, so the cost-performance ratio was good. The only downside was that the drinks took a long time to come. There were multiple occasions where we had to wait around 10 minutes for our beer, which was a bit frustrating.

What I received was: Special selected thick-cut beef tongue, top skirt, pot pickled kalbi, scallops, liver, Caesar salad, grilled meat exclusive rice, seafood chijimi. The special selected thick-cut beef tongue was quite delicious, but the rest was just average. It's not that it's bad, but I didn't feel like it was a great value for the price, so I don't think I will repeat. Maybe using it as an all-you-can-eat option would result in higher satisfaction.
