The evening opening hours are around 6pm, but it's best to line up at least 30 minutes before. About an hour before, there were 3 people waiting, and by 30 minutes before, there was a line of about 20 people. Those towards the end will have to wait for a second seating. The popular hamburg steak sells out quickly, so it's recommended to line up early. While waiting in line, we were able to decide on our order and have it taken. Today, the number of people in line reached the full capacity, so the opening time was moved up. We were seated at the counter. Since our order was taken in advance, there was no wait time for our food to be served, making the process smooth. The items we ordered were "Black Wagyu Hamburg Steak and Seafood Cream Croquette" for 1720 yen. The Seafood Cream Croquette was served first. It had a crispy coating with a creamy sauce filled with large shrimp and scallops. The seasoning was strong, and I enjoyed it with just tartar sauce. It was delicious and hot. Personally, I thought it could have been a bit less seasoned. The Hamburg Steak had a balance of 3 parts Wagyu beef to 1 part pork, and the flavor was excellent and easy to eat. The demi-glace sauce was not too rich but had a solid flavor that paired well with the Hamburg Steak. Watching the chef's cooking process from the counter added to the experience. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was cozy with a nostalgic feel of a typical Western-style eatery in town. I would like to visit again next time to try the omurice made with 4 eggs!

Uchoten is a popular spot in Ikebukuro known for their delicious hamburg steaks. I decided to try it out for lunch around 1:15 PM and was surprised to find no line at all. I ordered the black wagyu hamburg steak for 1200 yen. The meal came with miso soup, rice, cabbage, macaroni, and a sunny-side-up egg. The hamburg steak was juicy and flavorful, with a good amount of spices and a rich demi-glace sauce. It paired perfectly with the rice and miso soup. Overall, it was a satisfying and hearty meal. I was lucky to have avoided the usual long lines, and I would definitely recommend Uchoten for those craving a delicious and filling hamburg steak.

The thick hamburger with plenty of meat juice was amazing! The volume for 1200 yen was also great in terms of cost performance. Adding a half-cooked sunny-side-up egg as a side dish allows for a change in taste, making it delicious twice! I'm also curious about the menchi-katsu, so I would like to visit again!

The atmosphere was stylish and calm. I arrived around 6:30 pm on a holiday and there were about 4 people waiting. I waited for about 30 minutes, entered the restaurant, and ordered a large serving of rice. It was bigger than I expected, so I recommend it for those with a big appetite! The hamburger, minced cutlet, and croquette were all delicious, and I was very satisfied. I will definitely come back!

This is my third visit to Uchoten and I keep coming back for their delicious hamburg steak. The hamburger itself has a sweet and tender meat, which is really tasty. When you cut into it and the juices overflow, it's just so exciting! And the demi-glace sauce on the hamburger is irresistibly delicious. Just the sauce alone makes you want to eat more rice! I also want to try their omurice, but I always end up sticking to the reliable hamburger. Next time I visit, I'll try to resist the hamburger and go for the omurice instead. We arrived at the restaurant right at 6:00 PM on Saturday. There were four of us and we were able to get a table in about 15 minutes since it wasn't too crowded yet. It's a good idea to arrive a bit early as even 10 minutes before opening, you can definitely get a table. If you want to eat here, arriving a little early is recommended.

When I was living in Bunkyo Ward, I always wanted to go to this popular restaurant, but I could only go once due to its popularity. After moving, it became even more difficult to go. However, while working in Ikebukuro and having some time before lunch, I decided to finally visit the restaurant. I arrived around 11:10 AM, before the 11:30 opening time, and was able to get in on the first round. I ordered the hamburger and seafood cream croquette. The flavors of the meat and seafood were both rich and satisfying. I may not have many chances to go again, but I would love to visit this restaurant again in the future.

Arrived around 11:40 AM and waited outside for about 15 minutes before entering. The turnover rate of the restaurant is good. The staff were friendly and efficient, creating a pleasant atmosphere. I ordered a set meal with hamburger and mini cream croquette for 1490 yen. The hamburger was perfectly grilled on the outside and juicy on the inside, making it delicious. The cream croquette was also tasty, but I personally feel that next time I would just go for the hamburger alone for 1200 yen. It was that good. Overall, the prices are reasonable and it's a very good restaurant.

Around 11:30 on a regular day, I visited a Western-style restaurant where there were 3 people waiting outside. I ordered the "Black Wagyu Hamburg Steak" for 1200 yen and was quickly seated at the counter. The restaurant had a nostalgic atmosphere. After a while, the Hamburg Steak lunch arrived. It was accompanied by a demi-glace sauce, a half-cooked egg, cabbage, and macaroni salad. I split the Hamburg Steak with my chopsticks and the meat juice mixed beautifully with the demi-glace sauce. The Hamburg Steak alone was delicious, with a meaty yet tender texture and a mild demi-glace sauce. I then tried it with the half-cooked egg on top, and it was also very tasty. Although it was advertised as Black Wagyu Hamburg Steak, the tenderness and sweetness of the Hamburg Steak made me think it might not be 100% beef. Regardless, it was delicious. As I continued eating, the delicious impression never changed. The Hamburg Steak and sauce were just too good. It felt like I found my "ideal Hamburg Steak." I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal!

Uchoten in Ikebukuro. This is the restaurant where I went on my first date. There were 6 people in line and we were seated after 15 minutes. I ordered the Black Wagyu Hamburger and Mini Menchi Katsu for 1,490 yen. The Mini Menchi Katsu was ready in 1 minute. It was a compact and delicious dish with a little meat juice, enjoyed with sauce. It was hot and tasty. The hamburger was juicy and delicious! The combination of meat juice and cabbage was excellent. Mixing the cabbage with the meat juice of the Mini Menchi Katsu and eating it was amazing! Definitely order the hamburger. The slightly crispy surface was also irresistible! The Mini Menchi Katsu and hamburger were both meat dishes, so I should have ordered the Seafood Cream Croquette instead! I want to try it next time. The miso soup was simple and tasty, and surprisingly, the macaroni side dish was oily and delicious!

A famous hamburger steak restaurant in Ikebukuro. It's about a 10-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station. There is always a line, but when I visited around 2 p.m., I only had to wait for 5 people. It has a retro atmosphere. I ordered a set of hamburger steak and minced cutlet. The cream croquette was sold out. The hamburger steak arrived with a good smell of demi-glace. When I cut into it, the meat juices overflowed. When I took a bite, I could feel the meatiness. Breaking the fried egg and mixing it with the hamburger steak was delicious. The minced cutlet was a bit dry, maybe because the hamburger steak was so juicy. The miso soup was on the smaller side. The rice portion was average. Thanks to the hamburger steak, the rice went down easily. I also want to try the cream croquette.

Before going to the restaurant, I saw a feature on Ikebukuro hamburgers on a TV show, so I was worried it would be even more crowded. So, I decided to go at night. At night, they don't serve soup dishes. However, the experts on hamburgers who appear on TV shows like "Ad Street" or "Matsuko's Unknown World" really set the bar high. It's hard to say it's the best hamburger in Tokyo. Well, if you have complaints, just don't watch it. I arrived right after the opening at around 6:00 p.m. There were already several customers, but luckily the counter seats for about four people were available. Oh! The owner has a smooth bald head, just like Kotoge. It's a scary world where even high school baseball players are growing their hair long. It's like a sushi restaurant. I directly ordered the black wagyu hamburger and mini-menchi katsu for 1800 yen from the owner. The staff didn't come to take the order, which made me feel like the owner might scold them later. After a while, the rice was brought, then the mini-menchi katsu, and finally the hamburger. The hamburger came with carrots, broccoli, and potato gratin as side dishes. As mentioned earlier, there was no soup. Even though I wanted to slurp at night, they seem to have a pride in not wanting to be a typical impression restaurant. The hamburger was said to be with demi-glace sauce, but it was more like a sweet teriyaki sauce that most people would like. The mini-menchi katsu surprisingly came with soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. I enjoyed the shredded cabbage with Worcestershire sauce on the mini-menchi katsu. The meat was packed tightly, and the meat juice seeped out. On the other hand, the hamburger was juicy, but not heavy, more like a light hamburger. It was delicious, but didn't seem like the best. It was just delicious. Personally, I found the mini-menchi katsu more delicious.

This was the best hamburger I have ever had in my life. The side dish was simple but excellent, but the deliciousness of the hamburger... I couldn't stop eating it. It was meaty and satisfying, a hamburger that you can't get enough of. The sauce was also amazing, of course. It was introduced on a TV show just before I went, so they were sold out of hamburgers by 6 p.m. It was delicious! I will definitely go again. Thank you for the meal.

It seems that there is a restaurant in Ikebukuro known as the "Four Heavenly Kings of Hamburg." Among them, the director of the Hamburg Association recommends this restaurant. It offers a standard, straightforward hamburger. When you stick your chopsticks in, the juices overflow. Delicious... but it felt like something was missing for me. Perhaps this kind of "The Standard" is where experts in the field come back to in the end. Simple, solid dishes without any pretense. In the world of hamburgers, I am far from reaching that level. The exploration of wonderous food continues.

Black wagyu hamburger and mini menchi katsu for 1450 yen. Arrived on Saturday at 10:55. There were 3 people in line. While waiting in line, they came to take our order. They opened at 11:15. The hamburger was juicy when you cut into it. The menchi katsu was also delicious.

This shop in Ikebukuro boasts enduring popularity. Their specialty is a juicy hamburger with plenty of meat juice, made with tender but coarse ground beef for a satisfying bite. It has a strong meaty flavor with plenty of umami from the Japanese black beef. The richness of the demi-glace sauce complements it perfectly. The set also comes with a seafood cream croquette that is crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, filled with chunks of seafood that bring happiness.

Today I had some errands at Sunshine City, so I decided to finally visit this restaurant that I've been curious about. It's a popular spot that has been featured on TV multiple times. They open at 11:30, but when I arrived 10 minutes early, there was already a line forming, despite the rain. The menu options are hamburger, minced cutlet, or Kagoshima-produced Nansei pork. Since it was my first time, I ordered the classic hamburger, minced cutlet, and the intriguing seafood cream croquette. I was able to get inside the restaurant relatively quickly, as they took orders outside, so the wait time was minimal. The minced cutlet was juicy and packed with meat juices, incredibly delicious. The crispy coating paired perfectly with the rich demiglace sauce, making it addictive. The hamburger had a similar seasoning to the minced cutlet, also juicy and flavorful. Both had a spicy kick from the spices, providing a unique and delicious taste. They went well with the fried egg. The seafood cream croquette was surprisingly rich in flavor, which complemented the rice well. Overall, the dishes were hearty and flavorful. Perfect for me. I wonder where I'll go for my next meal. Buuko buuko buuko~ (＾・∞・＾)

I went for dinner. I ordered a hamburger steak and seafood cream croquette. The hamburger steak was very delicious with plenty of meat juice. The seafood cream croquette was a bit salty, but the scallops inside were a high point. Compared to trendy hamburger restaurants, I think the taste and cost performance are in a different league, so I would like to go again.

I visited Uchouten in Minami Ikebukuro. I arrived at the restaurant around 11:40 and there were already about 8-9 groups waiting in line. The staff took our order while we were waiting, so we were seated quickly and our hamburgers arrived soon after. We ordered the black wagyu hamburger and seafood cream croquette. For family members who don't like cream croquettes, they had the minced cutlet set instead. The cream croquette had scallops and small shrimp inside. The hamburger was a bit firm on the outside but juicy on the inside, with meat juices flowing. The salt and pepper seasoning was strong, and the demi-glace sauce was delicious. The thin cabbage side dish didn't come with dressing, so we enjoyed it with the sauce and the half-cooked scrambled egg. There was also a small portion of macaroni salad. The miso soup contained tofu, carrots, daikon radish, and fried tofu. The rice portion was generous and satisfying, leaving us feeling full. Thank you for the meal.
