It had been a while and it felt nostalgic. While eating yakiniku, there are various menu items such as sushi, fried foods, noodles, etc., but you can't eat all of them. One thing I always eat is the soft serve ice cream. It's fun to make. There are also cotton candy and other treats, so young children will be delighted as well.

☆LP☆ On a weekday lunch, as I rarely have weekdays off, I wanted to experience a place where I could feel like I'm getting a good deal on a weekday. I had been curious about the long-standing restaurant called "Sumitomo Tarou", which seemed to have been around for a long time. The lunch buffet is only 1300 yen on weekdays excluding tax! By becoming a member on the official website, you get a free drink bar. I quickly registered and headed to the restaurant. At the entrance, there was a staff member who took care of the pre-payment, and then I was seated at a table by the window. Each table had a gas stove for grilling, and when you opt for the drink bar, you are provided with plastic cups for it. I immediately went to explore the buffet corner. Since the main focus is on grilled meat, the side dishes were a bit limited, but there were octopus balls, potato fries, yakisoba, curry, ramen, soba, and other dishes that everyone would enjoy. The building seemed a bit old, which made me a bit concerned about hygiene, but they had measures in place such as disposable gloves and alcohol disinfection. There was a variety of meat available, but they seemed to be in the mid-range price category. There were about 6 different sauces available at the meat corner, including grated radish, garlic, and gochujang. Sushi, including battleship rolls, with a variety of popular toppings, lined up next to it. There was also a vending machine for alcohol next to it. Now, it's time to grill at the table. Well, for this price, it was okay. The sushi was better than I expected, so I enjoyed a few pieces. For dessert, there were waffles, cotton candy machine, soft-serve ice cream, and old-fashioned scooped ice cream with about 8 flavors. It was a lineup that children would love. However, for some reason, I wasn't feeling well, and although my companion ate a lot and enjoyed it, the next morning, my stomach didn't feel right. I want to believe it was just from overeating, but it might be a good idea to be careful about overeating for various reasons. Considering the season, this buffet restaurant is quite valuable. If they renovate and make it cleaner, I think it could become even more popular. Thank you for the meal!

One weekday, I decided to try out a buffet restaurant in Kita-ku, Shinro. The parking lot had enough space for parking. The restaurant was spacious, like a family restaurant with additional seating on the left side. Despite the current situation, many elderly customers were enjoying their meals, with some going for seconds. The background music was calm with no vocals, just soft music playing. I opted for the weekday buffet (1430 yen) with an additional drink (260 yen) at the entrance. For the first round, the meat dishes were thin and cooked quickly, especially the kalbi which was quite tasty. The sushi selection was decent with small pieces, suitable for those who like variety. The carb corner had fried chicken, fried rice, takoyaki, spaghetti, and yakisoba, filling up the stomach unnecessarily. The salad selection was typical of a family restaurant. Among the three soup options, the miso soup with offal was interesting. After feeling a bit discouraged from the first round, I pushed myself for a second round. The curry was thick and homey, while the corn soup was a bit thin. For dessert, I had yellow peach, agar jelly, and jelly to refresh my palate after the oily meat. The pudding, bittersweet chocolate jelly, and carbonated water for drinks were satisfying. I ended the meal with soft-serve ice cream and coffee, feeling like I almost got my money's worth. As I was leaving, a group of six college students seemed to be enjoying the buffet. I wondered if dining in a group of six was a good idea. Thank you for the meal.

I entered the restaurant around 1:30 pm and enjoyed chatting until the lunchtime ended at 4:30 pm. They had various kinds of sushi like squid, salmon, egg, inari sushi, and mayo mixed sushi, along with about three other types. The sushi was small in size, perfect for children and women. For meat, they had about 10 options including beef kalbi, loin, lamb, pork hormone, and pork tongue, as well as sausages and mini hamburgers. They also had takoyaki, fried chicken, and potato fries. My friend said the mini hamburgers were surprisingly delicious. The vegetables included onions, cabbage, corn, and a couple more, although I wished there were a bit more. However, with the unlimited lunchtime offer (limited to weekdays), the price of 1,272 yen (my friend had a 5% off coupon) was very reasonable! In the latter half, we tried making parfaits and cream sodas using the ingredients available. My friend conquered about 6-7 different desserts from the dessert corner. Although we didn't get to try it, they also had a variety of main dishes like ramen, udon, and curry rice.

I visited the restaurant called Sutamina Tarou in Taiping. On weekdays, you can stay for up to 5 hours for only 1240 yen + tax! You pay in advance, then you can freely choose dishes from the menu, which includes main dishes like yakiniku, as well as salad, spaghetti, yakisoba, takoyaki, croquettes, fried chicken, sushi, curry, ramen, and more. For dessert, there are fruits, yogurt, almond jelly, pudding, cotton candy, various types of ice cream, soft serve, and cake. The drink bar is available for an additional fee of 231 yen + tax, but there are often free coupons online. The quality of the food may not be exceptional, but for this price, the unlimited time and variety of dishes make it a great deal.

All-you-can-eat with friends ===========

On regular days, the cost performance is even better.

After finishing my night shift, I came here with no particular craving, just wanting something to drink. It seemed like there was a gathering for a club or children's group, but I was just looking to drink. It was a weekday, so the prices were high and I couldn't eat much. My husband also seemed uninterested in eating. I got bored after about 30 minutes. I had a minor oral surgery two days ago, so I couldn't open my mouth properly. I was grateful to find kitchen scissors in the cutlery case. I chopped up sushi, meat, broccoli, and okra. I couldn't drink alcohol easily. Chewing was difficult, so I ended up going for something sweet, which was unusual for me.

I came here once before and it was really good, so I came back again! The prices are very reasonable. You get to cook the meat yourself. While the meat is cooking, you can enjoy the side dishes like fried takoyaki and squid. The cooked meat is delicious! They bring more meat for you to cook. I quench my thirst with a cup of mate tea. It's great for eating a lot of meat! For dessert, I had a chocolate cake. Thank you for the meal!

This time, my husband, who had a day off after a night shift on a weekday, picked me up and we went to Sutamina Tarou. We arrived right at opening time, but there was already a line outside! It seemed that the wait was due to the need to pay in advance. Perhaps because it was payday, even though it was a weekday, there were many families and groups of women. By presenting a stamp card, we got the drink bar for free. I opted for the 90-minute all-you-can-drink option. Kuma-chan is open at night on weekdays, so having the all-you-can-drink option here is really convenient! I was determined to eat a lot today, but they just wouldn't cook the meat properly! And they kept bringing more and more meat (#･∀･) The thin meat was okay, but the thick kalbi was really delicious. I was looking forward to the Staro Napoli, which is my favorite, but the sauce was too bland, which was disappointing. Personally, I don't enjoy cold food, so I think it would be better if they had a microwave. Anything tastes good when it's piping hot, right? I love takoyaki, but they skimped on the mayonnaise and sauce... I guess it's understandable since it's cheap. In the end, the cream croquette was the most delicious, and my husband and I completely agreed on that (I'm saying the same thing as last time).

After finishing a night shift, on a weekday my husband and I went to Sutamina Tarou for the first time. They have unlimited lunch hours on weekdays and starting from February, they have reduced the price for all-you-can-drink alcohol (Kirin beer). We were surprised by the prepayment system - it cost 1124 yen per adult, and we paid for two people. The all-you-can-drink alcohol was 980 yen per person, so the total came to 3486 yen including tax. We requested a smoking area as it is partially separated. The all-you-can-drink alcohol was for 90 minutes, and you have to take a paper with the time written on it to the drink corner connected to the kitchen for glass refills. If you don't opt for the all-you-can-drink option, you can purchase drinks from the ticket vending machine. We had salad and motsunabe (offal hot pot), and even though the salad was frozen and commercial, it was a treat for us as we don't usually eat a lot of salad at home. We skipped the sushi and meat as they weren't that great, but my husband brought some meat which we enjoyed - pork, pork tongue, and top loin. The texture was great and made us feel full. We also tried the baked spaghetti, but it was just okay. My husband loved the creamy croquettes the most, while I enjoyed the motsunabe the most. We only brought food once at the beginning, and then we focused on drinks. Looking back, we didn't eat much, but we both mostly drank. As middle-aged folks, we couldn't eat as much as we thought, and after 60 minutes, we gave up. I only had three glasses of Kirin beer, which is unusual for me. In conclusion, I still like it! Kuma-chan!

I felt like eating sushi and yakiniku at the same time. So, I visited the Sutamina Tarou Daihira branch for the first time. It has been three years since I visited the Ishiyama branch. I arrived around 11:30 on a weekday for lunch. I thought it would be empty, but it was surprisingly busy. I used a Hot Pepper drink all-you-can-drink coupon. Weekday lunches have unlimited time for 1,214 yen, so it's a nice service not to worry about time. I ignored the standard side dishes like takoyaki, pasta, zangi, and potatoes and focused on eating sushi and yakiniku. The sushi was small in size and all without wasabi. Salmon, mackerel, squid, boiled shrimp, bincho, egg, crab stick, tuna, inari, and others. It was a bit disappointing that there was no tuna. The squid ink or mayonnaise-flavored battleship sushi was delicious. There are about 20 types of yakiniku, including super kalbi with sesame flavor and pork marinated in grated pineapple. The sauces include table yakiniku sauce, ponzu, miso sauce, lemon sauce, and salt sauce. The quality of the meat and sushi is honestly low, but that's okay! When you're in the mood for quantity over quality, these kinds of restaurants are appreciated. In the soup corner, there was miso soup, kalbi soup, corn soup, and curry. The kalbi soup had plenty of daikon and kalbi, was slightly spicy, and delicious. After two rounds of sushi and yakiniku, I started on dessert. Pudding, almond tofu, coffee jelly, self-serve soft-serve ice cream, grape jelly, fruit punch, water manju, mont blanc, donuts, cream puffs, ice cream, and more. The cotton candy machine will definitely get the kids excited! It seems that dinner includes self-made crepes. I turned the coffee jelly in a cup upside down into a bowl, poured soft-serve ice cream on top, and topped it with corn flakes, which was incredibly delicious! I'm not sure if this is available at all Sutamina Tarou branches, but being able to use the coffee machine for Italian blend and espresso for free is a great service. Next time, I want to try the pasta and other side dishes that I didn't eat this time. Thank you for the meal.

I have used this place several times. The main focus here is yakiniku (Japanese BBQ), but they also offer sushi, salads, fruits, sweets, yakisoba, curry, and more. It's recommended for people who want to eat until they drop. The prices are reasonable, so I won't comment on the quality of the meat. The sushi is like the deli section at a discount supermarket. However, the lunch buffet on weekdays has no time limit, so it's great for leisurely eating from opening until after 3 pm. I ate a lot this time, so I got really thirsty afterwards and ended up drinking lots of bottled tea.

On a Sunday afternoon in September 27, 2015, I visited a sushi and yakiniku restaurant with my friends Menko and Chiiko. We checked out several buffet restaurants based on reviews and found that two of them were fully booked. When we called another restaurant, they said they had seats available, so we decided to go there. Here are some key points from the reviews: - Compared to competitors, the prices are lower but the quality of the food is not as good. - The meat for yakiniku is average, as the restaurant is more focused on sushi. - It is fun for children. Upon entering, we were asked to confirm the number of people and their ages, and we had to pay in advance. We ordered for two adults, one child, and three drink bars, which cost a little over 5,000 yen. The sushi selection was disappointing, so we opted for other items like inari and salmon. The yakiniku meat had too much fat, and the highlight was the motsunabe (offal hot pot) which was the most delicious. We also enjoyed making cotton candy and ice cream at the dessert corner. Overall, the restaurant had some interesting options, especially for families with children, but the quality of the food was average. It might be worth a revisit for a family outing, but not for serious dining.

I went to the yakiniku buffets Ton Ton Tei in Konoe two days ago, Roin Tei Shiraishi Branch in Nango four days ago, and Yakiniku Buffet Sutamina Taro Taihei Branch. All of these places are cheap, so I wanted to confirm which one has the most delicious yakiniku. Starting with the cheapest prices, Ton Ton Tei, Sutamina Taro, Roin Tei Shiraishi Branch. The number of dishes and desserts is highest at Sutamina Taro, Roin Tei Shiraishi Branch, Ton Ton Tei. The number of yakiniku and other grilled items is highest at Sutamina Taro, Roin Tei Shiraishi Branch, Ton Ton Tei. As for the taste of the yakiniku, it's a matter of personal preference. Ton Ton Tei, Roin Tei Shiraishi Branch, Sutamina Taro. Lamb and beef kalbi are best at Ton Ton Tei. Overall, Roin Tei Shiraishi Branch is the best. Sutamina Taro is the most fun. Desserts are the best by far! I especially love the hormone hot pot, so I go there. Not sure if it's a regular item or seasonal? The curry has a nostalgic taste, like something I had in school lunch. It had a lot of meat in it. Sushi... side dishes include fried chicken, yakisoba, croquettes, and items for children. There are quite a variety of desserts, so I think kids will be happy.

I visit this restaurant for lunch on weekdays once a month, but it's so familiar that I haven't written a review before. The lunch buffet has an unlimited time setting, which is quite special. The regular meats are decent, but the limited-time meats that come out are really good. This time, it was "pineapple marinated pork." The pork, cut slightly thick, marinated in pineapple, turned out very tender and delicious. There are also various side dishes and even a bit of sushi. When going with family, everyone can select their favorite dishes, and I, who lack vegetables, end up eating only salad. On days with school events, it can get quite crowded during lunchtime, but usually, it's relaxed and easy. The only problem is... I end up eating too much!

Family outing, wanted to save money compared to the izakaya's all-you-can-eat, so we went to a restaurant on Sunday for dinner at 6 pm. It was super crowded, but luckily we had made a reservation. They had a collaboration menu with the Japan Electric Theatre Association, which was amusing. The shabu-shabu with white pork and oden were delicious. The limited-time menu items like garlic butter potatoes and meat tofu were tasty. They had a variety of meat options. We had fun making parfaits with coffee jelly, soft serve ice cream, whipped cream, colorful chocolate, and bananas. I think in these kinds of restaurants, the taste is not the most important thing, it's all about having a good time.

I went to eat meat again because I was craving it. The yakiniku sauce here is my favorite, it's delicious. It's a shame that there are few types of sushi. I always enjoy the mixed rice dish. There are plenty of fruit options, and I ate a lot of grapefruit. The lunch on weekdays is affordable and recommended. I was disappointed that I couldn't try the limited edition meat mentioned in the poster. I went to eat heartily again. I first paid at the counter and used a coupon for the drink bar. Then, I started eating. I had salmon sushi because there weren't many other options that I wanted to eat. The meat was tender and delicious. The "big meat campaign" was over, so I couldn't try it. The chicken was delicious when marinated in lemon juice before grilling. I also had mixed rice and miso soup. I had three bowls of miso soup. It was a great meal. My darling went to this restaurant with friends recently, so I went too. The lunch buffet was around 1100 yen. Normally it's a 90-minute all-you-can-eat, but during the winter it was unlimited time. They had a "big meat campaign" with delicious meat. The meat was cooked perfectly by my darling. The sushi options were limited, but I'm fine as long as there's salmon. They had a variety of side dishes, salads, and desserts. I finished with mixed rice and miso soup. I will definitely come back when I feel like eating heartily. Thank you for the meal.
