Around 4:00 PM on August 29, 2023 (Tuesday), I was in the mood for yakiniku (Japanese BBQ), but my previous plans ran late, so it was already this time. All the restaurants start serving dinner from 5:00 PM and were not available. However, this place has been open all along! And you can even have yakiniku set meals in the evening! The pricing defies the common sense that "yakiniku is expensive at night." Probably run by Chinese staff, the service is at Chinese quality. They were chatting and watching YouTube in their native language at the back. Still, they promptly refilled my water and responded quickly when I called. Most importantly, I am grateful that they are open at this odd hour. Xie xie (thank you in Chinese). [Yakiniku Upper Harami Set + Negi Tan Shio] ¥990 (¥880 + ¥110) - Meat, soup, rice, kimchi, salad. It's cheap. In Hiroo, it would cost around 3000 yen. The additional menu items are also only 110 yen, which is unbelievably cheap. The meat may not be perfect, but it has a good amount of fat, better than the all-you-can-eat chain meat. [Korean Cold Noodles] ¥880 - It looks bright red, and as a sweet tooth, I was surprised. But it's not too spicy, and I enjoyed it. The texture of cucumber and wakame goes well with the noodles. The wooden tableware is easy to eat with. If you ever crave yakiniku set meals at night, be sure to visit this place! Also, don't miss the staff's super stylish Crocs with high heels.

I visited for lunch at 13:30 on a weekday. The restaurant was about half empty, located a little away from the center of the station, so it seemed relatively easy to get a seat. [Food] - Upper Harami Lunch (medium) ¥880 The lunch set had a generous amount of food and the portion was good, with 6 slices of Harami at this price! The rice set allows for free refills, so it's quite a deal for those who can eat rice with kimchi or soup...! The upper Harami was tender like a cheek, but lacked the richness of meat, reminding me that Harami is a type of hormone. The dipping sauce also seemed to have a strong taste of cooking sake...? However, overall, considering the price, I think the quality of meat and portion size are worth the price! [Service, Atmosphere] The interior of the restaurant is bright, clean, and you can have a calm lunch without smoke filling the air! The staff were not Japanese, but they were fluent in Japanese, so communication shouldn't be a problem. I had visited a few years ago when they first opened and had a delicious high-priced course for dinner (I remember it was less than 5,000 yen for all-you-can-eat and drink), so I decided to revisit for lunch. However, I left thinking that my memory may have been too idealized, or perhaps I should have come for dinner instead. Nevertheless, I think the cost performance is good, so I recommend it when you want to have yakiniku while keeping costs down!

I visited for the first time. The price of the meat is cheap, and there are various types available! The staff at the restaurant were quick and the drinks came out right away! I got the impression that there were more all-you-can-eat options, but I ordered a la carte! The meat has a frozen feel to it, so if you want to eat cheap yakiniku, I think it's good!

I was in Ikebukuro and decided to have yakiniku for lunch. The restaurant was quite crowded and seemed popular. There were acrylic dividers between tables for infection prevention. They offered lunch sets and all-you-can-eat options. I opted for the all-you-can-eat which was 1980 yen plus a one drink order, which cost 330 yen for a soft drink. They recommended getting the all-you-can-drink option for 600 yen if you plan to have two or more drinks. Since it was hot outside, I decided to go for the all-you-can-drink option. The all-you-can-eat started with Negi-tan shio and tsubo kalbi, and you could order more dishes after finishing them. The tsubo kalbi was quite filling, making it hard to finish. The Negi-tan was thin but okay in taste. They didn't serve soup or cabbage like other all-you-can-eat places, so it's suitable for meat lovers who can finish the meat quickly. After finishing the Negi-tan and tsubo kalbi, I ordered the recommended nakaochi kalbi and gyu kalbi. The nakaochi kalbi was delicious. I also ordered the komtan kuppaku, which was very tasty and came in a perfect portion size. My companion ordered the kalbi kuppaku, which was also delicious. It seems like the side dishes are better than the meat here. They had ice cream for dessert. There was only one person in the dining area and one in the kitchen that day, but the food came out quickly. The waitress, who was a foreigner, explained the all-you-can-eat rules calmly but also gave a few smiles. The all-you-can-eat lasted for 60 minutes, and at the 40-minute mark, the waitress would come and inform you that it's the last order. The 60 minutes passed by quickly. The price was average, but having to order a drink each time and considering the many yakiniku restaurants in Ikebukuro, I probably won't revisit. It's a casual and accessible place though.

After visiting the kindergarten, my wife and I went to this restaurant for lunch. The cost performance was amazing! They recommended the all-you-can-eat option, but we decided to order set meals instead. We ordered the Wagyu beef kalbi and harami set (medium) and the Wagyu beef kalbi and tongue salt set (medium), both priced at 1280 yen. Feeling like it might not be enough, we also ordered the marinated kalbi and misuji. This was a mistake... we should have ordered them after receiving our set meals. The set meals were actually more than enough, and we ended up changing one of them to a stone bibimbap (half) for an additional 200 yen. The cost performance was so good that we thought the price and quality of the meat didn't match up! We managed to finish everything, but we were satisfied with just the set meals. If there had been one more person, we could have considered ordering more. The salad, soup, and kimchi were all free refills, and for just a little over 1000 yen, we were able to enjoy delicious yakiniku. Highly recommended! Thank you for the meal!

I had the harami set lunch (with around 110g of meat) which comes with unlimited servings of negi-tan salt salad, small side dish (tofu), soup, and rice for 880 yen including tax. Additionally, you can get 3 extra pieces of negi-tan for 100 yen. The small side dish, kimchi, and main dish were all very delicious. The harami was surprisingly tender and flavorful. The kimchi was spicy but also had a hint of sweetness that went well with the rice. The staff, likely Korean, spoke Japanese fluently and provided satisfactory service. Overall, it was a satisfying lunch experience.

I made a reservation for the cheapest plan, which includes all-you-can-eat meat. The options were not stingy and very delicious! The kimchi, Korean seaweed, namul, salad, rice, and wakame soup all had generous portions. The all-you-can-eat system starts with set meats, samgyupsal and galbi, which have large portions that you must finish before ordering more meat. The tansal was cut in a unique way, not in slices but vertically long. The taste was satisfying for an all-you-can-eat option. The lemon sauce was provided at the table. The sesame harami was simply delicious! The service was efficient and the staff were friendly. It was clear that the restaurant was popular.

Lunch with my wife!! We couldn't decide what to do, but she seemed to be in the mood for grilling, so we went to a yakiniku restaurant!! I've been to the main branch a few times, but this was my first time at the west gate store!! The lunch menu was available, which was great. Yakiniku for lunch is quite reasonable!! My wife had premium wagyu kalbi and harami, while I had premium wagyu kalbi and tongue. It was nice that we could get rice, soup, tofu, and kimchi refilled. The prices weren't too high, and the meat was quite delicious, so we were satisfied!! It felt like a little celebration, and we felt like we could eat more!! We added some seseri and tongue. I even had extra white rice, which I don't usually do. It's fun to be able to grill a few slices at a time slowly during lunch. It was enjoyable, delicious, and satisfying. The harami wasn't the best this time, but the tongue was delicious, and the kalbi was good without being too fatty. If we have the chance, we'd like to come back. Thank you for the meal.

The lunch menu includes rice, soup, salad, kimchi, and namul with free refills. You can also add another dish for an extra 100 yen. The lunch buffet is a great deal with a 90-minute time limit and last order at 60 minutes. There are a variety of meats available for grilling, as well as soups, salads, and desserts. The staff are attentive and the service is speedy. Overall, it's a good value for a satisfying meal.

I think it's cheap! The medium serving of Harami is 880 yen. The meat is thick and delicious. There are two types of Harami, and I chose the cheaper one, but it had no unpleasant smell. The side dishes are all-you-can-eat! You can eat to your heart's content. The kimchi side dish is homemade and the spiciness hits you straight away, making it perfect with rice or alcohol. For this volume and quality of meat at 880 yen, it's a great deal! They also offer all-you-can-eat options in the evening, where you can eat and drink for less than 4000 yen, and I think it's better than the big barbecue chains or other all-you-can-eat places you see around town.

I love yakiniku lunch sets. They usually cost less than 1,000 yen, and you get to grill the meat yourself and enjoy a hearty meal. This kind of lunch never gets old. So, on this day off, feeling a bit tired from visiting the hospital, I passed by this restaurant. When I looked at the menu, the kalbi set was only 880 yen... Great deal! I went inside and ordered right away. After a short wait, the set arrived... The meat looked thick! As a person who likes to take their time, I grilled it slowly and when it was just right, dipped it in sauce and took a bite... Delicious! I finished it in no time. The cost-performance ratio was high and it was delicious!

An 8-minute walk from Ikebukuro North Exit is a yakiniku restaurant. I ordered the Upper Salted Tongue Lunch for 880 yen. It comes with 6 slices of tongue, which is a good deal for the price. The set also includes salad, kimchi, tofu, and rice, all of which are refillable. I had seconds of kimchi, tofu, and rice. The tongue slices are thick and large, and they taste delicious. It's a great place to have a satisfying and affordable lunch! The only issue is that smoking is allowed. I hope the smoking ban will be implemented soon.

New restaurant specializing in yakiniku (grilled meat) and horumon (offal) located on Tokiwa Street next to Yū Tairiku. Despite being a new establishment, it already has a well-detailed page on Tabelog. The restaurant, previously named "Gyūichi," changed its name to "Gyūdō" shortly after opening. Situated on the ground floor of a building near the Ikebukuro West Exit, the restaurant features around 7-8 four-person tables. The staff appeared to be Korean. The menu includes dishes like chijimi (Korean pancake) and drinks such as chamisul (Korean soju) and makgeolli (Korean rice wine). Lunch specials are also available, with options like kalbi (short rib), harami (skirt steak), samgyeopsal (pork belly), and bibimbap (mixed rice) ranging from 880 to 1180 yen. The lunch menu also offers all-you-can-eat yakiniku for 1980 yen per person. The reviewer tried the "Horumon 5-Item Lunch (Large)" for 1190 yen, which included various types of horumon, salad, kimchi, rice, and seaweed soup. The portion size was generous, with approximately 500-600g of meat. The reviewer enjoyed grilling the meat and savoring the flavors of the special sauce and lemon juice. The meal was satisfying, and the service was attentive. The reviewer looks forward to returning for a nighttime dining experience.

I ordered the half portion of the Samgyupsal set meal. The menu includes rice, side dishes, kimchi, and salad with free refills. The set meal is only 880 yen and even the half portion has plenty of meat. I used to think Samgyupsal was meant for a large group, but it's nice that you can easily dine alone. The kimchi is sweet and delicious. Definitely worth getting seconds!

High level! Delicious meat. The interior of the restaurant is very clean. I will definitely come back.

After finishing work today, I found a newly opened yakiniku restaurant on Tokiwa Street called Yakiniku Sakaba Ushikazu. They use A5 rank black wagyu beef and it was very delicious. I would love to go back again.

It was really, really delicious. Just looking at the photos makes my mouth water. The staff are also very friendly.

Hello everyone! Today I want to introduce you to Yakiniku Sakaba Ushiichi. The meat here is incredibly large and delicious, I really enjoyed it. Have any of you been there before? Please give it a try if you haven't yet!

I went there the other day. The amount of money I spent was a bit high, but considering the lunch set + additional dishes I ordered + the fact that I drank quite a lot from noon onwards (lol), I think it's worth it when you think about the price of the meat. Many places serve tough meat for lunch, but the meat here was delicious. The horumon (offal) was also delicious. I would like to come here at night and enjoy delicious meat slowly while drinking.
