This place in Shin-Okubo serves grilled meat wrapped in a surprising volume of fresh vegetables. We chose the Healthy BBQ Course for 2,380 yen each, with premium pork belly and garlic pork belly. We also ordered the fluffy Kalanchim for 980 yen and the half-size Tears of Garlic Chive Pancake for 980 yen. The amount of vegetables and the portion of pork belly were both astonishing. We even wondered if we could finish it all. However, the excess fat dripped down the slanted grill, making it easier to enjoy the meat. The staff took care of everything from grilling to cutting, so all we had to do was eat. We had a great time enjoying the meat while wrapping it in vegetables. We had lunch here last time, and this time we had dinner. Although there is a significant price difference between the two, it's still worth it to get such a generous amount of food for the price. The leftover vegetables were made into a smoothie for a refreshing finish. Thank you for the meal.

I visited during lunchtime on a regular day. We lined up around 11:30 and got our turn after about 40 minutes. The waiting area was shaded and could accommodate about 3 groups, so chatting with friends made the time pass quickly. The staff wasn't very friendly, but they were efficient. The best part was being able to eat lots of vegetables. The honey mustard sauce was especially delicious!

I went to a Korean restaurant in Shin-Okubo. They offer a set meal with Samgyupsal, salad, and another Korean dish for under 3000 yen, which is very reasonable. The Samgyupsal was delicious, and the large amount of vegetables served in a planter-like dish was impressive. If you can't finish the vegetables, you can ask the staff to turn them into a smoothie for you. This service allows you to consume a large amount of vegetables without feeling guilty, so you can enjoy the Samgyupsal guilt-free.

I went to "Kurumu," a Korean restaurant located about a 6-minute walk from Shin-Okubo Station on the JR Yamanote Line. I was craving samgyupsal, so I decided to visit Kurumu where you can enjoy 15 types of fresh vegetables. You can choose from various types of samgyupsal, and I ordered the regular two servings and the spicy Korean-style one serving. They carefully grilled the meat for us. Wrapping the cooked meat and vegetables was delicious! The vegetables were tasty, and since we kept layering them, it felt like the main dish was the vegetables. The half order of leek pancake with dipping sauce was also delicious and complemented the pancake well. By ordering the samgyupsal for the number of people in your group, you can get refills of vegetables. Please note that if you don't order enough for everyone, you won't be able to get refills. Lastly, we turned the leftover vegetables into smoothies, which were also delicious! It was my first time trying a smoothie, and I will definitely go back!

We met at Okubo Station at 11 o'clock and headed to the restaurant. There was already a line of about 30 people, so we signed up on the waiting board and waited. Even though there were available seats, we had to wait for about 30 minutes to enter because they cook and serve all the meat. The restaurant has a total of 60 seats. Once we were seated, we were able to enjoy our meal while experiencing a lively atmosphere until around 1 pm. We chose two types of meat and two side dishes for two people. We selected the recommended premium samgyeopsal and beef usamgyeopsal (+200 yen), along with cheese tteokbokki (+100 yen) and kimbap. Despite the rise in vegetable prices, we were able to enjoy a variety of vegetables, and the restaurant was clean and spacious, allowing us to eat leisurely. They even made a smoothie with the leftover vegetables, leaving our mouths feeling refreshed. It was a great value for money, the atmosphere was nice, and we were able to enjoy a satisfying lunch.

I visited the restaurant around 11 am on a regular day and was surprised to find that there was already a wait for 8 groups. However, we were able to get in after waiting for about an hour. While waiting in line, the staff kindly served barley tea. We were a group of three and ordered the regular samgyeopsal, basil samgyeopsal, and gochujang samgyeopsal. The staff cooked the meat for us, so we were able to chat while waiting for it to cook. For side dishes, we ordered kaelanchim, sundubu jjigae, and stone pot bibimbap. The kaelanchim was lightly seasoned, and for the stone pot bibimbap, I recommend adding gochujang for more flavor. The leftover vegetables like lettuce were made into a smoothie, which I felt was a great environmentally friendly practice. The smoothie was easy to drink and slightly sweet. I will definitely visit again for lunch.

I visited for the fourth time around 3:30 pm, but it was still crowded, probably because it was a Sunday. We were guided to the underground store. Do they rent it out only during the day? I had the samgyupsal, which my foreign friend also enjoyed. I will visit again.

The interior of the restaurant was very clean! They put bags for your belongings, but there might be some smell transfer (which I don't mind since I'm going to eat samgyeopsal). The vegetables were plentiful, so you can enjoy eating pork without feeling guilty. It was very delicious!! Personally, I liked the taste of sesame oil and salt. If you choose the lunch set for around 2300 yen, you can also choose options like chijimi and pure tofu, which I thought was very cost-effective. I was thinking it would be a waste to leave leftover vegetables, but they made a smoothie out of them, which was great. I will definitely go back!

The staff were very polite and the food was delicious, I was very satisfied. I arrived 10 minutes before opening but had to wait about 20 minutes due to the line. If you plan to go, it's better to go early. Overall, the food was delicious, but the Cheese Kimchi Jeon was especially delicious! I was impressed that they offered to make a smoothie with the leftover vegetables from the Samgyeopsal. It made me feel healthier! Thank you very much!

I always thought that the restaurants in Shin-Okubo are always crowded and probably not worth trying, but luckily I found one that wasn't busy so I decided to give it a try. And wow, everything was delicious! The vegetables were so fresh and there was a lot of them. If you can't finish them all, they will even make a green smoothie for you. I think they also add apple juice to it, so it's not too grassy and tastes really good. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I went in the early afternoon and had to wait for one group to be seated. I finally got to try Kurumu, which was packed with vegetables and delicious. I enjoyed the one-dish set lunch course without leaving a single bite. Of course, the vegetable smoothie at the end was reliably delicious. If you go in the early afternoon, you can be seated without waiting, so I want to aim for that time again next time.

Samgyeopsal costs 2,508 yen per person, tax included. You can choose your favorite type of pork belly and enjoy it with 17 different types of vegetables. The portion of meat per person is quite generous, making it very satisfying. You can have unlimited refills of vegetables, and various toppings are complimentary, which is appreciated. Although the price of 2,500 yen per person may seem expensive, considering the complimentary items, it seems reasonable. If you want to fully enjoy the taste of the pork, you may want to go easy on the vegetables. The staff will grill the meat for you, so it requires little effort on your part. However, the meat may cool down towards the end of the meal, so it's best to eat it before it gets cold. Any leftover vegetables can be made into a smoothie or juice. I opted for the juice, which had a strong apple flavor and was delicious. I also ordered cold noodles and sundubu as extras, both of which were tasty. Considering the total cost of around 4,000 yen per person, it was a satisfying meal. The impact of the wrapped vegetables was strong, and I didn't fully savor the taste of the meat, but I'm sure it was delicious. ===========

I wanted to eat samgyeopsal in the rain, so I visited the restaurant just before 5 pm. Despite being the second group, the restaurant was empty so we were seated right away. By 5:30, the restaurant was almost full. Truly a popular place! First of all, the amount of lettuce was amazing! All fresh and delicious. The staff frequently checked on the meat grilling and paid attention to the splattering oil, very polite. They also cut the meat into small, easy-to-eat pieces at the end. The beer was Super Dry, and the barley tea had an almond milk-like flavor, very fragrant and unique. The meat was consistently delicious. They even turned the leftover lettuce into an apple-flavored smoothie.

I thought it would be crowded, but around 1 pm on a weekday, we were able to get in without waiting. You can eat all the vegetables you want, and for the meat, you can choose one type per person. The staff at the restaurant grill the meat for you, so it tastes great and I was satisfied! They serve a lot of vegetables, more than you can eat, but they will make the leftovers into a green smoothie for you!

I had some business to attend to in Shin-Okubo, so I decided to stop by this restaurant that I had been curious about for a while! I'm not a fan of greasy food, but when wrapped in leaves, I could eat it forever...!! The remaining vegetables were turned into a smoothie, and the Bibimbap was also very satisfying in taste! The quality for this price is excellent.

I ordered two servings of Samgyeopsal. It came with a generous serving of assorted vegetables, and you can have seconds of one type for free. Any leftover vegetables can be made into juice. Garlic and green chili peppers are provided for free if you ask. You can also get free refills of green onions, pickled radish, and sauce. You can enjoy eating plenty of vegetables without hesitation and leave fully satisfied!

Once again, I went to have lunch with a friend in Shin-Okubo, and this time we chose a Korean restaurant that had caught my eye before, called "Kurumu". It's about a 5-minute walk from Shin-Okubo Station, and it's almost directly across the street from "Pungm" which I visited recently. The restaurant is on the second floor, with a cosmetics store on the first floor, and there is also a related store in the basement. Lunch cannot be reserved, and I had heard that it is a very popular place, so we decided to go around 10:30 am when they open at 11 am, and we were already 12th in line. More customers arrived later, and by opening time, there were nearly 30 groups waiting in line. Looking at the people waiting in line, there were overwhelmingly more women, and it felt a bit out of place. At 11 am, the staff started guiding the first group of 8 to enter. Similar to Pungm, the staff take care of serving the dishes, so it seemed like they couldn't accommodate too many customers at once. After a while, another group of about 8 was guided in as the second group, and that's when we were able to enter. Even after entering, we were asked to wait a bit before ordering, but we were able to take our time looking at the menu inside and since it was still before 11 am, being 12th in line turned out to be fine. As for the lunch menu, it's a set menu consisting of a main dish + staple food + vegetable dish, priced at \2,508 (tax included) and up. The biggest attraction is the vegetable dish, which comes with a large serving of fresh vegetables that you can have refills of. You can also order the main dish separately, so we chose Samgyeopsal and Bossam (+\330), the staple food was Cheese Kimchi Jeon (+\110), and we went with cold noodles. There were kimchi, green onions, radish, and onions on the table from the start, and we enjoyed them while waiting for our dishes. First, the vegetable dish arrived, and it was indeed huge, with a mountain of lettuce, Sunny lettuce, perilla leaves, watercress, sprouts, tomatoes, pumpkins, and more. It was a challenging amount for two people to finish, and even though they said refills were allowed, it seemed like hardly anyone would go for seconds. The Samgyeopsal was grilled on a special iron plate with holes, allowing the excess fat to drain off. It came with kimchi, and the pork fat made it fragrant. The Bossam was steamed pork belly, which wasn't as fragrant but was easy to eat. The grilled or steamed meat is placed on a leaf, rolled with green onions and kimchi, and eaten. With the large amount of vegetables, you don't really notice the fat content. The Jeon was filled with kimchi and topped with a lot of cheese, making it undeniably delicious. I forgot to take a picture of the cold noodles, but they were refreshing and perfect for changing the taste. Even after finishing the meal, we had about 1/4 of the vegetables left, but the staff made a smoothie out of them for us. They must have added pear because it had a sweet taste and was easy to drink. The price is on the higher side, but considering the large amount of vegetables, it's not a bad deal, and all the dishes tasted great. The staff's service was just right and created a pleasant atmosphere, so I could understand why it's so popular. Next time, I want to go with someone who enjoys eating a lot of vegetables and challenge the refills of the vegetable dish.

A famous restaurant known for its all-you-can-eat mountain of vegetables and samgyeopsal. You can have unlimited refills of vegetables and side dishes! The pickled radish in the panchan was delicious, I went back for seconds three times. The quality of the meat is decent. When you wrap the meat in vegetables and dip it in sauce, you can't really taste the meat that much, so you don't have to worry about it.

I heard it was delicious from a friend, so I went for lunch on Sunday around 12:30. There was a line all the way down the stairs! However, it was a sign-up system, so I wrote my name and went to the cafe. I had a coffee for about 20 minutes and it was perfect timing! When the food arrived, there was a huge amount of vegetables just like in the photos, and not only that, the menu was reasonably priced, which made me understand why it's so popular! And above all, the smoothie at the end was amazing. I wish they would sell it in the store.

I had the Samgyeopsal for two people (including one portion of Bossam). This restaurant prides itself on serving 15 types of vegetables, which make for a beautiful green display. It definitely looks great for photos on social media. However, when it comes to the taste of each vegetable, they are just average as they are just "leaves" after all. The pork is more like being fried with oil rather than being grilled. It's similar to Gindako. The Bossam is usually an add-on for 300 yen in the Samgyeopsal set and is a limited quantity item. I personally love boiled pork in Korean cuisine, and this one was definitely better than what I had at a chain restaurant in Seoul. If available, I would recommend it. If you know restaurants like "we are the farm" that focus on the deliciousness of root vegetables, you might find the vegetable taste here a bit disappointing considering the price range. However, I don't always search for restaurants solely based on taste, and this restaurant has a nice interior and would be a good choice for a date. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait.

Kurumu in Shin-Okubo is a popular restaurant where we had to wait for 2 groups ahead of us, but it was worth it. The highlight was the generous serving of fresh lettuce, making the dishes healthy and delicious. We enjoyed wrapping the samgyupsal in the lettuce, but ended up with a lot of leftovers. When we mentioned it, the staff offered to make a smoothie for us. To our surprise, they turned the leftover lettuce into a fruity dessert smoothie, which was incredibly tasty. It was a satisfying lunch experience. Highly recommended!
