Family barbecue at Gaya as usual. Today we had kimchi, Chorogi salad, premium tongue with salt, premium kalbi, premium harami, loin with wasabi, sanchu, and finished with wakame ramen and Morioka cold noodles. It cost around 9,000 yen per person, but it was delicious!

In front of the store, a bike was forcibly parked (^◇^;) I entered casually. The result was delicious. Thick-cut tongue - always want it, Level harami - satisfying taste, Chorogi salad - a happy dish (lol). The rice was too expensive at 450 yen for a large serving, but if I pass by again nearby, I will go back. The staff who frequently changed the grill grate left a strong impression. Thank you for the meal.

#FamilyYearEndParty#On the 29th, Dad suddenly wanted to eat yakiniku, so we headed here after my cram school. (Reservation required) My younger brother used to frequent this place when he lived in the neighborhood, so he knew the name, but it was my first time here. It's a typical local yakiniku restaurant, but the prices are a bit on the high side. The side dishes come in generous portions, like the assorted namul for 1,300 yen, and the kakuteki that only I ate, which had a lot of volume for 600 yen. I wish they had a half-sized option for half the price. The kalbi with bones was delicious, but the upper harami was even better than the kalbi. The upper tongue with salt was okay, but it can't beat the tongue at another place. The kalbi with bones and the upper harami were the best here. And the best part is that they serve craft beer! It was really delicious. I didn't eat much meat because of the large amount of side dishes, but overall, the price is decent. The upper tongue with salt was 2,500 yen, the upper harami was 2,400 yen, the kalbi with bones was 2,900 yen, and the kalbi was around 1,690 yen. #Yakiniku #BigIslandGourmet #YearEndParty Charcoal Yakiniku Gaku 03-5609-0304 5-34-16 Oshima, Koto-ku, Tokyo https://tabelog.com/tokyo/A1312/A131202/13066573/

I had been taken out to eat fresh fish for the past few days, so today I decided to have yakiniku. However, all my favorite yakiniku restaurants were fully booked. I finally managed to get a reservation at a slightly faraway restaurant called "Gassan", so I went there. The meat I ordered was all delicious and satisfying. I started with a lemon sour, which I have been drinking a lot lately, and then enjoyed my favorite sake, "nama makgeolli". There was a description saying that "nama makgeolli is like drinking a nutritional supplement if you remove the alcohol content," so I thought I needed some nutrients in this hot weather and ended up finishing two bottles by myself. For dessert, I ordered Morioka reimen (cold noodles) and left the restaurant feeling content. The prices are a bit high, but the restaurant offers consistently delicious food.

I had to drive back from Shinagawa to Inzai City, so I decided to stop for a meal on the way home. When I thought about a place where I don't go often but would like to visit occasionally, I remembered Gassan in Oshima Station. When my younger brother collapsed due to a brain hemorrhage in 2017, we went to Gassan with my family to clean up his apartment in Oshima. At that time, I didn't have high expectations, but the male staff at this restaurant provided excellent service, so I wanted to visit again. I parked my car at the nearby coin parking lot and entered the restaurant. I arrived around 8:00 PM, and there were 3-4 groups already seated, so I was able to get a table right away. I was undecided about what to order, but since the set menu was quite expensive, I decided to order a la carte. I ordered the top sirloin, special rib loin, beef cheek meat, honeycomb tripe, and for side dishes, seafood pancake and medium rice. For drinks, I ordered black oolong tea and emerald pine calpis soda. The head waiter was efficient in taking orders and did not need to confirm them twice. The food arrived promptly, and the service was smooth without any awkwardness. I started with the special rib loin and top sirloin. The top sirloin was tender with a good quality of meat and a refreshing taste despite the presence of fat. The special rib loin was juicy and paired well with the ponzu sauce. Next, I tried the honeycomb tripe, which I initially thought might be tough, but it was surprisingly tender without being chewy. The miso sauce complemented the dish well. Then, the beef cheek meat arrived, thinly sliced and seasoned with salt and pepper. It had a fibrous texture and was enjoyable with spices. Lastly, I savored the seafood pancake. I had chosen the seafood pancake over the cheese pancake this time, as I recalled being overwhelmed by the volume of cheese in the latter. The size of the seafood pancake was not as large, but it was satisfying. The head waiter efficiently moved around the restaurant, adjusting the heat at each table, changing the grill, clearing tables promptly, and taking orders. He did not waste any movements and always had a smile when taking orders or serving dishes. His attention to detail was remarkable, and his service deserves a 5-star rating. The food was delicious, but I felt like I was paying for the exceptional service provided by this head waiter. Although he was not treated differently, his service was outstanding. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

We celebrated my son's birthday with a family dinner at Yakiniku restaurant, always our favorite spot. We enjoyed top tongue salt, top sirloin, top kalbi, top loin, top harami, and finished with Tegutan ramen. Thank you for the delicious meal.

We had our first yakiniku meal at Gaya in December with family. It was fully booked. We enjoyed top tongue with salt, top sirloin (grated ponzu sauce, garlic), top kalbi, wasabi loin, top harami - consistently delicious.

Enjoyed a family barbecue with premium tongue salt, premium fillet, premium skirt, premium short rib, and wasabi loin, each tailored to our individual preferences!

My wife and I had dinner together. We had top skirt, top kalbi, and sirloin... we are already full. For dessert, we had sherbet and ice cream. We will definitely come back!

Family's go-to local yakiniku restaurant. Beef tongue with salt, premium loin, garlic-flavored fillet, wasabi-flavored loin, and Korean-style salad. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I may have ordered incorrectly, but thank you for handling the cancellation after making the shochu soda by itself. There is still half a bottle left, so I will visit again. The premium loin with wasabi is incredibly delicious! The staff's exquisite control of the heat and replenishing of charcoal really shows their desire for customers to enjoy the meat. It was a business dinner, so unfortunately, I couldn't take any photos on that day.

I always enjoy delicious meals here. I have been visiting this place every two months for about 7-8 years now. The food is outstandingly delicious and surprisingly affordable. The set meals are recommended as they are cheap, and I always order a set meal plus additional items until I am full. The owner is also very friendly. Lately, it has been getting crowded, but that's a good sign.

Delicious! It's nice that they pay attention to the heat level. A delicious restaurant that is hard to find around here.

The kalbi was delicious.

I had been recommended by a friend, but I was a bit hesitant because the appearance of the restaurant looked like a traditional old-fashioned yakiniku place. However, on a rainy day, I felt like having yakiniku, so I decided to give it a try. It was my first time, so I ordered the recommended special variety set which included rib loin, top loin, top kalbi, top skirt, kimchi, and salad for 7500 yen. The melt-in-your-mouth quality of the meats was truly surprising. The rib loin and top loin really did melt in your mouth as others have mentioned. The top kalbi was incredibly fatty, bursting with flavor the moment you bite into it. The top tongue salt was crispy, and the top skirt was like any other yakiniku place. I kept chewing on the top skirt for a long time, wondering when I should swallow it. But I may be biased because I really love top skirt. Nevertheless, the meats were really delicious, so I also ordered the ox tail soup and cold noodles, which were both delicious and filling. It was a wonderful experience enjoying delicious food and drinks like makgeolli after a long time. I was surprised to find such a delicious yakiniku restaurant in Oshima. The staff had a gentle way of speaking but were always bustling around, promptly changing the grill, allowing me to focus on enjoying my meal stress-free. It's no wonder the restaurant was full even on a rainy day. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I have been thinking this since my first visit, but the master is polite, cheerful, and has a good vibe. He moves quickly and efficiently, so I call him in my mind "Charcoal Fire Magistrate" (laughs). They have a variety of chicken, pork, and beef, so you can enjoy different things depending on your mood that day. From high-end cuts to offal, there are so many choices that it's hard to decide. For someone like me who wants to try a lot of different types of meat, it would be nice to have half-size or small-size portions of each meat. This restaurant gets crowded on weekends, especially with families. So, I often go on weekdays. It's relaxed and easy to find a seat. The table seating is spacious and designed to protect privacy, which is very comfortable. I visited again on a weekday this time. It's moderately empty, so it's easy to order and you can enjoy your meal in a calm atmosphere. The "Special Tongue Salt" melts in your mouth when you eat it rare. I finally made it here this year. Surprisingly, it was fully booked even from New Year's, and it's been very busy even on weekdays. I took a chance and visited at 6 pm on a weekday, and it was almost full, but I managed to get a seat (sweat). They had a new menu item, Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon, so I ordered it right away. It paired wonderfully with the liver in the sauce. Hmm, maybe I should make a reservation from now on... I want to report that there was a new menu item, "Black Wine for Meat Only," this time. It paired wonderfully with the sauce-based meat.

I finally got to visit Yakiniku Ga, a restaurant located just one minute from the station that I had been curious about for a long time! Although I don't often go to yakiniku restaurants, every time I passed by this place, it was always crowded and the delicious smell always tempted me (laughs). I was worried because I didn't make a reservation, but luckily I was able to get in just in time. It was a Saturday, so the restaurant quickly filled up! I ordered a beer first! When I looked at the menu, there were several options for individual items and sets, but I didn't know how much each portion would be, so I decided to go with the ¥5500 Kaoru set, a 3-item platter. The set came with kimchi, seaweed, and namul, and I toasted with my beer! The 3-item platter of meat arrived quickly - it had been a while since I had seen such beautifully glistening meat! And there was quite a lot of it. Even before I started eating, I felt like drooling (laughs). I lightly grilled the meat and as soon as I ate it, it seemed to disappear from my mouth because it was so tender and delicious! Just as rumored, I could see why it's always crowded. After the beer, I saw a tempting bottle of makgeolli, so I ordered that as well. Even though I was starting to feel quite full, I wanted to eat a bit more, so I ordered a recommended single piece of meat. It was also delicious, but I had eaten too much meat and my stomach was starting to feel heavy, so I recommend something lighter for the last dish. Maybe it's my age (laughs). I was extremely satisfied with this yakiniku experience after a long time! The manager's service was also very pleasant and wonderful. Yakiniku Ga has become my go-to place for yakiniku from now on!

Eating log: It's a yakiniku restaurant called "Gaya" near Ojima Station on the Toei Shinjuku Line. Last time, I ordered the top set and the meat was so amazing that this time I wanted to try ordering one level down. So, first things first, beer! This restaurant has a variety of meat sets, so I chose the "Gaya Set" which costs 5000 yen. The set includes: - 2 servings of Kalbi - 2 servings of loin - Namul - Kimchi - Sangchu. The main difference from the "special" set last time is that this one is not the "top" quality meat, but rather the "regular" quality. When the meat arrived, I was surprised. The marbling on this meat is quite impressive, but is this really just the regular quality? Upon closer inspection, there are some leaner parts, but a significant portion of the meat is marbled. I like my meat on the rare side, so I cooked it for about 10 seconds on each side until a slight char appeared. The first bite... delicious! The melt-in-your-mouth flavor lived up to my expectations. This meat could easily compete with the top quality meat at other restaurants! I enjoy rich flavors, but even so, I was very satisfied with this meat. The accompanying Namul was a generous portion, perfect for snacking. As I continued to drink, I ordered Makgeolli. The additional Komutan soup was light yet flavorful with a clear beef broth. Overall, I was extremely satisfied. This time, I tried the regular set and it was still more than enough. And it was cost-effective, which made me very happy. I highly recommend this yakiniku restaurant "Gaya". Next time, I want to try various other sets as well. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal. 10.08 Title: Easy to choose with set menus Located a few minutes' walk from Ojima Station on the Toei Shinjuku Line. I had been curious about the charcoal-grilled yakiniku restaurant, Gaya, for a while, so I visited for the first time. When I searched on Tabelog, I found that no one had written any reviews... I visited without any information. It was unexpectedly crowded at 8:00 p.m. on a Saturday. On the right side of the entrance, there were listed brands of Wagyu beef that they had purchased. My expectations went up! After ordering a beer, I was indecisive about what to order, but then I saw a special variety set. Priced at 7500 yen, it included top tongue salt, rib loin, top kalbi, top loin, top tripe, kimchi, and cholegi salad. All of which were top quality! There were also many other affordable sets, and the special set I ordered seemed to be the most expensive. The kimchi arrived. The taste I like with a spicy kick that comes later. Cholegi salad. It came out on a large plate, which was surprising because it was a set. Maybe it's too much for two people to eat? The meat arrived. It all came on one large plate! A lot of meat. Kalbi and loin, each with 5 pieces, and the rib was around 150-200g... It's definitely more than enough for two people...(laughs) All the meat was incredibly delicious! The marbling was so rich that I started to think maybe I didn't need the top quality... The second half became too fatty, so I ordered Komutan soup. A clear soup that reset my palate. If there was a little less meat, I would have wanted to order Komutan Cuppa. I finished everything, but next time I visit, I want to try ordering the regular kalbi and using the top quality meat sparingly. It's cheaper and more cost-effective. They also have a great selection of drinks, and I really liked it. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal. 09.04

I uploaded some photos on 3/28! The kalbi and loin are priced at 980 yen and have the best quality. My favorite place, and it never disappoints! This shop is nearby and I frequent it because the meat is incredibly delicious. The kalbi has just the right amount of marbling, almost like a premium cut. The large cow statue at the entrance, which seems to have won awards, reflects the owner's commitment to quality meat. Even after trying other shops, I can't find meat that surpasses the taste here, especially considering the cost performance. The regular kalbi is a great choice, but the premium cuts like the top kalbi and top loin offer a truly satisfying experience. I also enjoy the liver sashimi with a choice of 3 sauces, showcasing the quality of the beef. The side dishes like salad and yukgaejang soup are also delicious and filling. The variety of soft drinks, especially the Calpis range, is impressive. Couples and families will appreciate this place. The service is attentive and efficient, with the manager providing great service and the staff being well-trained. Even if it's not in your neighborhood, it's worth the visit. It's located near Oshima Station on Maru Hachi Street, making it easy to find. This is my go-to place, and I highly recommend it.
