This restaurant is definitely worth a visit! I was honored to have been featured in a previous review, but this time I visited for lunch after a long time. The atmosphere of the restaurant is reminiscent of a high-end lounge, which may make it a bit intimidating for families with children to enter... but don't worry, you can still enjoy your meal with kids in tow! The lunch menu offers a great deal on Kobe beef. The Kobe beef bowl (1,100 yen) is delicious when eaten like a beef bowl at first, and then even better when you pour dashi broth over the remaining beef. You can also enjoy two different flavors with the red meat duo (1,420 yen) or the sirloin duo (2,200 yen). For steak options, you can choose between a bento box or a set meal. I chose the premium red meat steak bento (1,540 yen) and the special red meat steak set meal (2,200 yen) this time. The bento style with meat on top of rice allows the meat juices to soak into the rice, creating a delicious combination. The set meal style allows you to enjoy the meat as the main dish, making the rice even more appetizing. This time, I focused on red meat dishes and thoroughly enjoyed the deliciousness of the meat. The lunch comes with a drink included, making it a good value for the price! I am looking forward to trying their yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) for dinner sometime in the future!

I chose the course with super premium sukiyaki for 8,000 yen. The 10,000 yen course requires reservations in advance. The meat was incredibly delicious and tender! You can try various cuts in small portions and it was very satisfying!

There are several yakiniku restaurants in Kitakyushu City, and this particular one has a very clean and luxurious interior. We started with a toast with draft beer and enjoyed a delicious kimchi assortment. Since there were two of us, we ordered half portions of thick-cut beef tongue, thick-cut top loin, top kalbi, harami maruchou, and mino, along with vegetables like sangchu. For the finale, we had countryside soup with rice added in. The soup had just the right amount of spiciness and went well with the flavorful meat. This restaurant is great for when you want to enjoy delicious meat rather than a hearty yakiniku meal. The pineapple dessert was a complimentary treat from the restaurant. Since the grilled shabu-shabu seems to be popular, I would like to try it next time.

I made a reservation online and went there. It's about a 10-minute walk from Kokura Station. The club-like thick door is unusual for a yakiniku restaurant, giving it a luxurious feel. I reserved a counter seat, but since it was available, I was led to a private room. The room had dim lighting. I ordered the "Jou Yakiniku Juu" for 1,480 yen, which was like a bibimbap style dish. The meat was finely sliced, with a good amount of fat and high quality taste. It was satisfying. You can enjoy it as is, or with condiments like meat miso or yuzu pepper. The rice portion is normal. The meal also came with salad, soup, and fruit. I chose ginger ale as the complimentary drink. The lunch menu offers good value.

I chose a restaurant near Kokura Station based on high ratings on Tabelog and ordered their signature dish, Kobe beef mabushi. I enjoyed the three different ways of eating it. The wasabi and nori topping on the second bowl was my favorite. The dish was delicious and reasonably priced. The restaurant's name, "Ondoru," means "underfloor heating" in Korean, symbolizing their desire for guests to enjoy a warm atmosphere while dining. Despite only spending about 30 minutes there, I felt warmly welcomed. The location is great and the popularity of the restaurant makes me want to come back for dinner to experience its charm at night.

Ondoru is one of my favorite yakiniku restaurants since a long time ago. I especially love the sukiyaki-style yakiniku that you eat by dipping it in beaten egg, and I can eat multiple pieces by myself. The other meats are also very satisfying, and even though I have been there many times, it is a place that I want to go back to again soon.

Before lunchtime, we had a visitor so we joined them. It's convenient that you can make reservations through Tabelog. I've only been here for lunch, but I ordered the hitsumabushi. I also used a dessert coupon from Tabelog for a post-meal drink, making it a delicious lunch. Our guest was also pleased, so it was great!

We used it for dinner on our trip to Fukuoka. We made a reservation for 3 people and entered, looking forward to the delicious food that seems to be popular. We ordered the Hana course for 6050 yen when making the reservation. The meat is delicious!!!! Especially the Sukishabu Super Select Kalbi - thinly sliced meat that is quickly swabbed and rolled up in the mouth, spreading the meat juice in the mouth and melting. The tongue, the mino, and the Sakurahime chicken are also delicious, the thickness of the tongue is irresistible. The Ondoru Super Select Kalbi is also delicious! The Sukishabu is delicious, but this slightly thicker one is also quite good. The thickly sliced extreme sirloin is also delicious, with a satisfying thickness and easy-to-eat cuts. Wrapping vegetables and premium beef wrapping are also important. The deliciousness of the meat reaches you directly. It was so delicious that we ended up adding more and more meat. Of course, we added Sukishabu as well. The hormone was also delicious. Definitely going back!

I went to dinner with a customer in Kokura. We decided to have yakiniku instead of seafood this time. We ordered a course with 12 different types of yakiniku and also tried meat sushi. We had a coupon that came with kalbi, which was Kobe beef. The restaurant had private rooms which was great for entertaining clients.

Grilling meat and dipping it in egg, like a sukiyaki style, was a surprising and exciting experience when I first tried it. Nowadays, this style has become common in many restaurants, but this place was my first time trying it and I always end up coming back for more! The meat here is really delicious, so no matter what you order, it's always tasty. They also have private rooms, so I highly recommend this restaurant!

I used it for work. I'm not sure about the price as my boss paid for it. The sushi rolls are recommended at 600 yen each. They are delicious. The premium tongue was surprisingly thick and delicious, even the lean meat was tender and tasty. Another recommendation is the assorted kimchi. It's not too spicy and easy to eat, very delicious. It would be great if they offered takeout. They have a wide selection of wine and alcohol. The restroom was also well-equipped with amenities.

It's nice to be able to eat at this price for lunch. It's Ondoru in the center of Kokura. It's not rare now, but it's delicious, so I want to go again at night. I think it's a delicious yakiniku restaurant in Kitakyushu, so I recommend it. ^_^

I don't usually eat yakiniku much, but my mother was feeling tired and needed some stamina, so for today's lunch, she said we should have some meat. I didn't know much about yakiniku restaurants, but I remembered my senpai taking me to Ondoru before and it was delicious. So, we decided to go there today. We ordered the lunch set menu "Sukishabu set meal" for 3300 yen. It felt a bit luxurious for lunch, but my mother and I both ordered the same thing. The course included sukishabu, 5 grilled items (beef tongue, pork belly, chicken thigh, Ondoru beef, upper skirt meat), rice (free refill), soup, salad, pickles, drink, and today's dessert. The famous sukishabu was delicious, and I liked that you could top it with pickles to make it like bibimbap. As for the grilled meat, hmmm... It was nice to enjoy a leisurely lunch in a private room, so that was a plus point! It's definitely better to go with someone who knows how to grill the meat properly! My mother was happy that we could eat delicious meat! Thank you for the meal!

I came here to enjoy yakiniku. There are many private rooms and the atmosphere is stylish, but it seems like it can also be used by families with children. The recommended dish here is sukiyaki, where thinly sliced meat is lightly grilled on one side, dipped in raw egg, and enjoyed. You can also order a course on the spot that day, so it might be nice to visit spontaneously.

End-of-year tradition, after the family's annual big cleaning, we went for yakiniku. This time we tried Ondoru, which has three locations in Uomachi. We ordered various items like Kalbi, Rosu, and seafood, all in a private room for a relaxing experience. The food was delicious, but it took a while for the meat to arrive, probably due to the year-end rush. The rice came early, but we had to wait until we finished everything to get the seafood, which was a bit disappointing.

It's been a while since I had yakiniku, so I decided to go to the nearby "Ondoru"! I didn't know this, but there are 3 "Ondoru" stores in Kokurakita Ward. Making good money, huh. Now, the interior of the Uomachi store looks quite nice. When you open the door and enter, you see beef on the left. Mooo~. As you proceed, there are counter seats, and I thought it might be unsettling as customers pass behind you, but we were led to a private room. Really? You can use a private room without a reservation? That's kind of nice (*´꒳`*​) They had a nice selection of soft drinks like blended tea and black oolong tea, and I was satisfied. I left the meat selection to my senior and checked out the dessert options. Once we placed our orders, the meats started arriving one by one... but it's not like they all arrived at once, more like shortly before we finished eating. Even if they all arrived at once, there was plenty of space on the table. The meats were all delicious in general, nothing particularly noteworthy. My senior always recommends the thick-cut tongue, but I prefer the non-thick-cut tongue. That unique crispy texture, the negi shio tan is the best. One thing I highly recommend is the "sukishabu". Dip the meat in the sauce, grill both sides like shabu-shabu, then dip it in beaten raw egg! It's a combination of sukiyaki, shabu-shabu, and yakiniku. The meat is incredibly tender. The richness of the sauce may vary depending on taste, but it's delicious with a standard richness for Kanto people. Sukishabu is great! Looking at it the other way, apart from that, there's not much difference in meat quality compared to other similar restaurants, so don't be fooled by the atmosphere! There are some points that are not worth getting your hopes up for, as the rating was over 3.5. If you don't have high expectations from the start, you can just end with "it was delicious", but if you read my review and went there, you might be disappointed with the score I give. Therefore, it's a 3.3. I've never been one to flatter. One thing that bothered me in terms of service was that they didn't come when I pressed the chime. The drinks we ordered also didn't arrive. We were kept waiting. Even after waiting for more than 5 minutes after calling, they didn't come, so we had to press the chime again to call them, or after waiting for 10 minutes for the drink we ordered, they still didn't come, and it seemed like they forgot. Probably, the number of staff doesn't match the level of business. The part-time staff looked busy to the point that it seemed pitiful. If the number of part-time staff is enough, then there are people who are not working well. Even if the taste is average, if the service is lacking, it will ultimately lower customer satisfaction, so if you're going to charge a decent price, it might be better to increase the number of staff.

I visited GOTO Lunch. The entrance had a club-like atmosphere. I arrived 10 minutes before opening, and the automatic door didn't respond when pushed, making me briefly anxious about it being a closed day, but they opened right at 11:30. Since I was alone, I was seated at the counter, which had a dimly lit and cozy atmosphere. Normally, I would go for the recommended cheapest lunch menu, but I was hungry from waking up early, so I ordered the Steak Meat? with a double portion of rice for 1280 yen. After 15 minutes, the food arrived, with thinly sliced meat and rare steak meat sitting in the bento box. I started eating normally, and the sweet sauce was impressive. Sprinkling some shichimi spice gave it a sweet and spicy Kyushu flavor! The steak meat had some chewy parts, but the richness of the meat flavor spread throughout my mouth. At this point, I was convinced that the extra 300 yen was worth it. For the second serving, I added wasabi for a different taste, which was surprisingly good even for non-wasabi lovers. For the third serving, I left some thinly sliced meat and made the usual ochazuke with dashi broth. The meat flavor and sauce paired well with the broth. The lunch included wakame soup, salad, kimchi, fruit, and a drink, all for this price. Considering the upscale atmosphere of the restaurant, it was definitely worth more than the price. Through a certain website, I also got a yuzu sherbet for a total of around 1400 yen. As someone who never orders anything other than beef bowls at places like Yoshinoya or Sukiya, I was very satisfied with this non-cheapest menu lunch.

Originating from Mizumaki-cho in Onga-gun, this restaurant chain offers carefully selected Kobe beef, authentic yakiniku, and sukiyaki dishes. With multiple locations in Kitakyushu, this particular branch is conveniently located near Kokura Station. Upon arrival, we were quickly seated at a table as the counter and private rooms were already occupied. We ordered the specialty "Sukishabu Night Set (4800 yen excluding tax)" which includes a choice of one drink. We opted for a draft beer. The table was set with various sauces, as well as kimchi, salad, and chapchae. We started by grilling the Sukishabu, a unique dish that combines the flavors of sukiyaki and yakiniku. The Kobe beef is quickly seared in a special broth, then dipped in raw egg before eating. The staff demonstrated the grilling process, which we then enjoyed doing ourselves. A variety of meats and vegetables were served, including top tongue, sweet potato pork, Sakura Princess chicken, ondoru beef wrap, thick-cut premium sirloin, selected kalbi, and selected sirloin. Additional meat orders were also available. We added a highball and an extra plate of kimchi. For dessert, we had Kobe beef rice bowl, one-bite rice, and a citrus sherbet. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience at this hidden gem of a yakiniku restaurant.

Just a 2-minute walk from Monorail Heiwadori Station, head towards the Dangoka direction from the crossroads at Osan Udon, and you'll find a glass-fronted building on your right (Cellv 3rd Building) on the 1st floor. The entrance is marked by a high-class door that resembles a members-only bar, giving off a luxurious and hidden gem vibe. As you enter the restaurant, you'll be greeted by stylish cow figurines saying "Welcome". There are counter seats on the left and several private rooms on the right. Since it was not crowded during lunchtime, we were guided to a private room - lucky us! Sitting down and looking at the menu, I noticed that jazz music was playing, creating a moody atmosphere that you wouldn't expect from a yakiniku restaurant. Now, let's get to the ordering... First, we ordered the following three items that are part of the routine when having yakiniku: - Kimchi (single item): We selected the cabbage option, which had a good freshness and a slightly intense flavor with mild spiciness. The set of three types costs 950 yen. - Namul 4 types assortment: It included bean sprouts, fiddleheads, radish, and spinach. While it was similar to other restaurants, the portion size was impressive. - White senmai sashimi: Even though I would have been fine with non-white senmai, this was the best white senmai I've had in recent years. The texture was firm and had a good bite, paired perfectly with the strong tangy gochujang sauce. For drinks, we ordered a draft beer, with a slight preference for Super Dry over Extra Cold due to the slightly larger quantity. Then, we noticed a standout item on the menu, the Platinum Roast with seared egg yolk - a must-try dish! Although it was on the pricier side, it's worth it for a unique dining experience. We also tried the Ondoru Meat Set (S) which included a selection of high-quality cuts that were satisfying one by one. The menu also caught our attention with dishes like the Special Rare Steak with wasabi soy sauce, although the portion size was a bit small for the price. Overall, while this may not be a place I can visit often as a commoner, it's a great spot to relax and unwind from the daily grind.

The meat was delicious! It had too much marbling, so I felt like I might get a stomachache after just a little bit (*_*) I finished with Kobe beef rice bowl with pickles, but now I'm curious about the Kobe beef rice bowl for lunch, so I might visit again for lunch next time^ ^

I went to Ondoru in Ogura Kitaku Uomachi for lunch♪♪ The taste is delicious! Just as expected (￣∀￣) However, the lunch I ordered never came out... I checked with the staff several times but it still didn't come out... What a shame. If the menu is that complicated, they should change it. The staff were nice though. I might go again (￣∀￣)
