I arrived at the restaurant around 7:30 PM on July 2023. About 70% of the previous customers had left, and there were only two groups of customers left. I was craving for some yakiniku, so I decided to visit Pit Inn for the first time in a few years. I used to come here often for lunch in the past. I ordered: - Premium Kalbi - Special Salted Tongue - Pork Yakiniku Kalbi - Pork Samgyupsal - Sirloin Hormone - Miso and Green Pepper - Grilled Vegetable Assortment - Yakiniku Sauce Set - Yakiniku Shabu Shabu Sauce Set - Large Rice - Medium Rice The food was served by robots, which was interesting. The Special Salted Tongue was incredibly tender and delicious, ranking high among all the ones I've tried before. The Premium Kalbi was thin but very tender and tasty. The Miso and Green Pepper dish was a perfect balance of sweetness from the miso and bitterness from the green pepper. The Sirloin Hormone had a strong salt flavor and a nice texture, although it was slightly gamey. The Pork Yakiniku Kalbi was okay, but I wished I had ordered beef instead. The Coffee Jelly dessert was creamy and complemented the bitterness of the coffee jelly well. Overall, most of the dishes were delicious, and I was surprised by how good they were. I actually tried to make reservations at other yakiniku restaurants before coming here, but they were all fully booked. The fact that this place was not crowded inside made it a hidden gem. I will definitely come back here when I have another craving for yakiniku.

After finishing a long-term business trip in December 2022, my partner and I held a "well done" meeting and walked to Pit Inn. I wonder how many years it has been since we last came here. Looking at the last review on the food blog, it was 7 years ago. Time really flies. I don't eat yakiniku often, but I wanted to eat it this time. We tried a variety of dishes and they were all delicious and satisfying. It seems that prices have gone up, so the bill was a bit higher than expected. Maybe we should come back again in another 7 years. Thank you for the meal.

Visit date July 15, 2022. For dinner on this day, my companion and I revisited Pit Inn. We ordered: - Happy Platter 4,400 yen - Grilled Vegetable Assortment 600 yen - Hokkaido Cold Noodles (half size) 650 yen - Large Rice x2 420 yen each - Black Label Medium Jockey x2 580 yen each - Ginger Ale 350 yen - Oolong Tea 350 yen The sauce came in two types: soy sauce and miso sauce, as shown in the picture. Unfortunately, I didn't leave any notes so I can't remember the taste, but I thought it was easy to understand and kind of them to have it presented that way. Thank you for the meal.

The meat quality was good but the seasoning was too strong. The seasoning didn't suit my taste and made the meat less enjoyable. While the kalbi and sagari were okay even with the sauce, the horumon and special mino were too salty with the sauce and had a strange taste without it, masking the natural flavor of the meat. Additionally, the cuts were thin and small for the price, lacking in satisfaction. Overall, the cost performance was poor. I had high hopes but unfortunately, my taste buds were not satisfied. The only positive points were the "Frozen Orange" soft drink my wife ordered, which was quite tasty, and the efficient service from the staff at the restaurant.

Visit date August 29, 2020. For dinner on this day, my companion and I visited Pit Inn Shinbashi store. We arrived around 20:35 and there were many customers already there. Our order included: - Beef 3-piece assortment 1,100 yen - Kalbi 900 yen - Genghis Khan 480 yen - Hormone 3-piece assortment 680 yen - Grilled vegetable assortment 550 yen - Hokkaido cold noodles 680 yen - Kimchi 3-piece assortment 600 yen - Rice large x2 350 yen each - Sapporo Black Label (medium glass) 560 yen - Sapporo Mugi to Hop (medium glass) 480 yen - Ginger ale x2 300 yen each. The beef 3-piece assortment included Sagari, Mino, and Tan. The Mino was chewy and had a good texture. The Sagari was thin and didn't have a strong flavor. The Tan was thick and delicious. The Kalbi was not too thick, had the right amount of fat, and was tasty. The Genghis Khan was large, thick, and satisfying. The marinade was well-seasoned, although it could be a bit salty. The Hormone 3-piece assortment included salt, miso, and spicy flavors. The grilled vegetables assortment included leeks, green peppers, pumpkin, onions, shiitake mushrooms, and shimeji mushrooms. The Hokkaido cold noodles had a soup with almost no acidity, allowing you to adjust the flavor by adding vinegar. The spiciness was manageable with just the kimchi. The noodles were firm and had a great texture, slightly sweet. The kimchi 3-piece assortment included cabbage kimchi, cucumber kimchi, and radish kimchi. Overall, it was a bit salty. The atmosphere was nice with well-separated seating, allowing us to enjoy our meal without worrying about others. The service from the staff was also pleasant. Thank you for the meal.

The beef tongue and lamb meat were especially delicious! #Pit In #Yakiniku #Hokkaido #Hokkaido Gourmet #Hokkaido Dinner #Hokkaido Yakiniku #Kushiro #Kushiro Gourmet #Kushiro Dinner #Kushiro Yakiniku

After having a meal and still feeling a bit unsatisfied, I looked up a nearby yakiniku restaurant. It was on the second floor and quite crowded during lunchtime, with many locals ordering lunch sets. I really wanted to try lamb, so I ordered the lamb shoulder loin jingisukan and the jingisukan pot. The lamb shoulder loin was my favorite. I also ordered a wine from Australia, which was decent considering this area is not known for its wine selection. I've reached an age where I take responsibility for my choices, and the pot jingisukan wasn't to my liking. The regular jingisukan and lamb shoulder loin were of similar quality to lamb specialty shops in the Kanto region. The price of lamb meat seemed much cheaper here compared to Honshu. This is a family-friendly casual yakiniku restaurant, so it's best to consider the occasion when using it.

I really love this restaurant, it's been a long time since I last visited.

At lunchtime, we went to "Pit Inn" where we could enjoy a variety of set menus. We ordered the "Premium Salted Tongue Set" and the "Sagari Set (Special Size)". All set menus come with unlimited rice and miso soup refills. Unfortunately, they only had pork and not beef hormone which I prefer. We also ordered the "Shirokoro Hormone" as a side dish (forgot to take a photo). For dessert, we had the "Tanchou Soft Serve" as usual. Looking forward to visiting again soon!

I had been wanting to go for a while and missed the timing to eat, but today, I felt the craving for curry at lunch and decided to go for it. I arrived around 12:30, and as expected, it was busy during lunchtime. However, the restaurant was spacious, so there were plenty of seats available. I ordered the "beef tongue curry" right away and started eating. The spiciness was about medium, which is generally acceptable, and the curry was slightly milder, just the way I like it. There was nothing particularly special about it, but it had a taste that would appeal to everyone. The soft-boiled egg was a nice touch. I found out that the beef tongue curry is 300 yen off every Friday! After the meal, I couldn't resist having the dessert, a light cream dancho soft serve. A male staff member kindly offered to bring me some hot tea or water after the meal. I had some hot tea and left feeling satisfied. (Unfortunately, there were two heavy smokers sitting next to me, and the restaurant does not have a designated smoking area, which was a bit disappointing.)

I had always been curious about "Yakiniku Restaurant Pit Inn" as it had a reputation for being expensive. Normally, I would only visit chain restaurants in the city. However, this time, with some extra income, I decided to treat my family to a meal there. Lately, I've been having issues with my teeth and can't eat hard foods, but the meat here was no problem at all. We started with the beef tongue, although it was disappointing that the top tongue was already sold out. The sagari, kalbi, and sirloin were all delicious. I definitely want to come back to this restaurant again.

On a weekday afternoon, I decided to head to Kushiro. I was looking for a new lunch spot and stumbled upon this place. It is located on the 2nd floor of Leaf Town Shinbashi, a mysterious building with a variety of shops, along Shinbashi Street off Route 53, across from IY Kushiro store. The shared parking lot can accommodate around 20-30 cars, but it feels unusually narrow due to its unique shape. It was just before 2 PM when I arrived, with about 6 groups of customers totaling around 16 people, and a few more groups arriving later. Despite it being a late lunch hour, the restaurant was bustling with mostly female customers. The spacious interior with 28 sunken kotatsu seats, 12 private rooms, and 48 chair seats exuded cleanliness, making it a valuable lunch spot for office ladies in the area. I came here because I heard they have a wide selection of lunch menu items and on Fridays, they offer beef tongue curry for 540 yen, which was the day I visited. The staff, although all young, provided attentive service unlike some national chain restaurants. Looking at the menu, I learned that the restaurant originally opened in Tsurui Village before expanding to Kushiro. They offer 18 choices of yakiniku set meals during lunch and 8 choices during dinner, which is quite appealing. Originally a Western-style restaurant, they also have a variety of Western dishes like hamburger steak and beef stew. They also serve Tanchou soft serve ice cream, an original product from Tsurui Village's dairy factory, adding to the variety of options. Despite the many temptations, I decided to go with the beef tongue curry since it was Friday. It arrived in about 5 minutes, with a simple-looking curry topped with a half-cooked egg. While it did contain beef tongue, the curry itself was not particularly distinctive, but considering the price, it was acceptable. The atmosphere of this place is really nice. Looking at their Facebook page, you can see that the staff seem to enjoy working there. They also host events regularly and have unique point cards to increase customer motivation and frequency, which may be why they have been loved by many for a long time. I would like to come back next time for the yakiniku. Thank you for the meal.

It's a shop on the second floor of Leaf Town across from Ito Yokado. I usually only go to the horumon-yaki shop, so I decided to try a yakiniku restaurant for a change. They have a wide variety of meat menu options, including set meals which are a good deal. The taste is delicious, with two types of sauce - soy sauce and sweet miso. They also have sauce for yakiniku and raw egg. This time, I ordered Genghis Khan, sagari, and medium Kalbi, sizzling them while enjoying a beer. I also ordered stone bibimbap, which can be served in a half-size portion. I savored the bibimbap while sipping on beer, feeling happy. Lastly, my wife ordered mocha soft serve, and even though I only had a taste, it was really delicious. I'll definitely go back again.

On November 7, 2013 (Thursday), it was cloudy with occasional light rain. I went to Obihiro and ate quite a lot during the day. When I arrived in Kushiro, I thought about what to eat and decided to go for a casual yakiniku place. The restaurant was quite busy during the day, but today there were only a few customers. I ordered a refreshing grapefruit sour, which I could enjoy since I wasn't driving. I squeezed the grapefruit myself, so it was really fresh. For my second drink, I had a sunset highball inspired by the Kushiro sunset, with a beautiful color. I tried various cuts of meat like sagari, tan, and horumon. It was a delicious meal. Thank you.

The other day, I felt like eating yakiniku, so I went to a yakiniku restaurant called "Pit Inn" near my house. The price was a bit on the higher side, but I guess that's normal for yakiniku. The meat was delicious, especially the beef tongue. However, I'm not a fan of the taste of shirokoro and horumon. I recently started to appreciate horumon, so maybe my expectations were too high. Also, after eating beef so much, I realized how comforting chicken meat can be. The restaurant has a spacious parking lot and a clean and spacious interior, making it a casual and easy-to-visit place. They also offer lunch, so I would like to go again sometime!

I revisited the restaurant in July. This time, I ordered a different set menu, the family-friendly one priced at 3,980 yen. The tail soup had a spicy kick to it, with chunks of meat in it. It was a bit too much for me. My child doesn't eat much beef, preferring chicken or pork. The sauce on the meat was delicious on its own. The meat was tender and not too fatty. The skirt steak was sizzling on the grill, and it made me crave for more even the next day. Of course, we also ordered the chuck flap, which looked cute and delicious. The Japanese-style parfait was a hit, and the cold noodles were great too, with customizable sourness. Overall, a great experience. Two months ago, I visited the restaurant for my child's birthday. It was quite empty when we went, and we got a private seating area. The chuck flap was a new experience for me, with its round shape and sweet fat. It was rich, so I couldn't eat too much, but it was delicious. The 1,980 yen set menu was family-friendly, with chicken, pork, and offal. The gas grill allowed us to adjust the cooking to our liking. The sizzling sound of the meat cooking was appetizing. The chuck steak was affordable and tasty. The kimchi platter was a must-have, not too spicy and with a strong seafood flavor. Perfect for families. I recommend this place for a fun and lively barbecue experience.
