Located a 3-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station, "Niku no Machi" is a popular yakiniku restaurant known for its high-quality, delicious meat as it is run by a butcher shop. The interior, predominantly black, exudes a calm atmosphere. The restaurant offers lively table seating for groups and cozy semi-private tables perfect for dates. The "Niku no Machi Course with 2-hour all-you-can-drink" (7000 yen) includes a meat platter and vegetables to start, followed by the option to order your favorite dishes. The all-you-can-eat menu includes top-grade kalbi, middle ribeye, top tongue with salt (once only), top loin, top harami, top mino, hormone, liver, black pork kalbi, pork belly kalbi, sausage kimchi platter, bean sprouts, salad, grilled vegetables, squid guts, chijimi rice, kookpa, stone bibimbap (1 per 2 people), and ice cream (once only). The all-you-can-drink menu includes beer, sours, cocktails, wine, makgeolli, soft drinks, and more. Most of the staff seem to be Korean, and the kimchi and namul are particularly delicious. Despite the slightly rushed atmosphere to vacate the table after exactly two hours, the quality of the meat and variety make it well worth the price. Recommended for meat lovers' gatherings and girls' nights out.

I was lured in by the cheap lunch prices and decided to dine in. I ordered the Yakiniku lunch set for 1,180 yen, which came with kimchi, chogogi salad, namul, and iced coffee. The price was indeed reasonable. The previous restaurant name was apparently "Half Price Yakiniku." Please note that they only accept cash for lunch payments.

I regretted entering the restaurant without prior information and seeing a meat menu that seemed sketchy starting at 380 yen. As a last resort, I ordered two items from the upper menu at 580 yen each. When the dishes arrived, my regret turned into despair. The harami had a slight smell, and the upper kalbi looked like cheap imported meat. The only carrot in the side dish looked like it had been cut ages ago. It was not just about being cheap; it was beyond that.

The 1,000 yen all-you-can-eat yakiniku deal was tempting, but since I have work today, I opted for the yakiniku kalbi set. Unfortunately, the all-you-can-eat menu did not include liver, although they did have hormone. For those who want to eat delicious meat, it's better to avoid this place.

Ice coffee is quite delicious and personally, I like it. You can also add on rice, soup, salads, and bean sprout namul for an additional charge. The system is such that you have to finish the generous amount of meat served at the beginning before you can place additional orders. I tried the 60-minute all-you-can-eat lunch barbecue.

Two friends and I went to a yakiniku restaurant after a long time. The course was a luxurious all-you-can-eat for about 5000 yen per person. The first assortment that came out was quite large, and we were able to eat that first before ordering something new. There was a mountain of pork loin with about two-thirds fat. The steak meat was delicious, so we ordered more, but the same meat didn't come out again. The additional meat we ordered all came out frozen. Since it was thinly sliced meat, it cooked quickly even though it was frozen, but it felt a bit off. The staff at the restaurant were not very friendly and there was no smile. I won't be going back.

I decided to try this place on a whim for some adventure. There was only one other group of customers. The lighting inside was dim and the air conditioning wasn't working well. The middle-cut kalbi provided had a decent texture, but the sauce was lacking. The accompanying carrots were good, but I'm not sure about the sausage. The side dishes were also mediocre. Even the kimchi was just spicy. I don't think I'll be coming back here in the future.

I visited for lunch on Christmas Eve. The restaurant was not very busy, probably because it was just after the usual lunch hour. However, we had to wait for about 4-5 minutes before a waiter came to our table, which was a bit of a downside. The Kalbi bowl was sweet in flavor and personally, I was satisfied with it. If you prefer spicy food, you might find it a bit lacking.

There is an all-you-can-eat option for 1,000 yen, but it only includes meat. You can add rice, kimchi, and other items for an additional fee, but the basic price for the all-you-can-eat includes only 5 or 6 types of meat. I don't need rice, vegetables, or soup, so this all-you-can-eat option is perfect for me. Most customers order additional sets, but I stick to just the meat-only all-you-can-eat option as listed on the menu.

I wanted to go to Sunshine City, so I decided to have lunch in the east exit area. They offered all-you-can-eat yakiniku for 1,000 yen, and for an additional 300 yen, you could get rice, bean sprout namul, kimchi, soup, and salad. The staff's attitude was not very good, and the atmosphere inside the restaurant was quiet and lacking energy. However, I was hoping the food would be good since it was cheap. When the meat arrived, it was all types except for hormone and liver. You had to order additional items after finishing what was served. I didn't feel like taking photos of the meat, and when I tried it, the quality was poor and not very appetizing. The kalbi and loin were not tasty, and the meat was dry. The chicken was okay, but the pork had a strong and unpleasant smell. I didn't dare to order hormone or liver with this quality. I should have gone to the ramen shop across the street. However, I enjoyed the lunch with my favorite person, and they treated me, even buying dessert at Seibu afterwards. I left the restaurant feeling happy. I don't think I will come back here again. Thank you for the meal.

An affordable yakiniku restaurant where you can enjoy course meals! It's also suitable for large groups.

I ordered a BBQ and all-you-can-drink course. Despite being all-you-can-eat, first came a vegetable salad followed by two big plates of meat including chicken, pork, and sausages. It was quite filling. When I tried to order beef tongue, I was told I couldn't because it was already on the big plates. Frustrated, I ordered premium cuts like ribeye and harami, but the quality and quantity were disappointing. It was nothing like the pictures on the wall. It was hard to find a server for drinks, and the pours were inconsistent. I tried to order ice cream for dessert, but it never came. If you're young and can eat a lot quickly, it might be worth it. But getting full on unwanted meat is not satisfying at all. A bit disappointing overall.

The meat was delicious! The prices were reasonable, but I felt that the customer service attitude of the staff was not very good.

For around 3000 yen, you can enjoy all-you-can-eat and drink for 2 hours. You can only get a refill of meat after finishing the initial serving. It doesn't seem like there is good ventilation as it can get a bit smoky inside.

I found the food a bit oily and ended up eating mainly rice and soup, but I was satisfied because I prioritized affordability.

The meat, kimchi, and soup did not suit my taste. The service was also not good, as the staff seemed to rush me with each order in a pushy and oppressive manner. I will not be going back.

I went to an all-you-can-eat restaurant, but the first course was so filling that I got full just from that. The grapefruit sour was delicious.

Not delicious! But very cheap!

I enjoyed a cheap and delicious all-you-can-eat meal!
