The hospitality at this restaurant is top-notch. They even served a cut of meat called "kainomi" that is not on the menu, and it was incredibly delicious. My recent favorite, black oolong tea highball, paired perfectly with the meat. The tongue salt here is truly one of a kind. Everything from start to finish was fantastic. The staff were also very polite.

My wife requested to have yakiniku, so we decided to try Kin-tan for the first time. As we entered the restaurant, our reservation was quickly confirmed and we were led to the second floor. The atmosphere on the second floor was lively, with groups of women and couples enjoying their meals. We were seated at a table for two and ordered non-alcoholic beer. The beer was served in cute glasses and was deliciously cold. We started with a comparison of Platinum Tan and Aged Tan. Both were flavorful, but I personally preferred the Aged Tan for its rich taste. The meat was juicy and tender, a real treat. Next, we tried the assorted kimchi, which was a perfect appetizer. The kimchi with cream cheese was a standout, balancing the creaminess of the cheese with the spiciness of the kimchi. We then had a platter of three different cuts of lean meat. I particularly enjoyed the lamp cut for its balance of fat and lean meat. You can choose between sweet and spicy sauces, but I preferred the spicy one. For our finale, we had Yukkejang Kuppa, which was beautifully presented and had a delicious, addictive flavor. The soup was so good that we finished every drop. If you're up for more, I recommend trying the Bibimbap as well, as it seemed popular among other diners. Overall, the food was delicious, the service was excellent, making it a great spot for a date night. I believe you can't go wrong with this place, so definitely give it a try! Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I made a reservation and visited. I had the autumn course, which included all-you-can-drink for 8500 yen. The food was delicious, but halfway through, it started to feel like I was eating a lot of fat, and I thought to myself, "Oh, I'm getting old." The beer served was bottled beer, but I felt like I wanted to gulp down a draft beer. The restaurant is very clean, especially the restroom, which is very clean and has a nice scent.

KINTAN seems to be located in various places. On this day, I visited the Kagurazaka branch for a private dining event, so I didn't feel like taking photos during the meal, but the interior was just sparkling. We enjoyed various delicious meats in the course menu. The course offered satisfying quantity, quality, and cost performance.

On a holiday, I arrived at the restaurant at 11:30 for a private room reservation, so the crowd situation was unclear, but by 12:00 it seemed busy on the 3rd floor. I checked in on the 1st floor and took the elevator to the 3rd floor, where a staff member was waiting to guide me to the private room. The service was just right, not too intrusive. The food was unique and delicious.

I always get lost at the entrance of the Kagurazaka restaurant. This time, I hesitated a bit and ended up being late for my reservation. The staff at the restaurant were very kind. We had a course menu, and everything was delicious. The dish in this photo was so tender and went perfectly with beer. I was alone and arrived almost 1.5 hours late due to work, but they were very understanding and didn't show any sign of annoyance.

The beef tongue set for lunch, along with freshly squeezed apple juice from Aomori, costs 2,730 yen. The quality of the beef tongue is satisfactory, and the unlimited refills for salad, soup, and rice add to the high level of satisfaction. The salad and soup are delicious. The location is convenient, right by Iidabashi Station. The atmosphere of the restaurant is also nice. It's a shame that on weekends and holidays, there is a one-drink minimum requirement.

I made a same-day reservation through Tabelog and visited for lunch. It's located near Starbucks, and I almost missed it... The entrance has a lot of greenery and looks stylish. I had reserved a seat, but I was guided to a private room. It's nice not to have to worry about the surroundings. When you order a lunch set, you can have unlimited rice, salad, and soup!!! You can choose between barley rice and white rice for the rice, which is a nice service. The comtan soup really warms your body... They asked for cooperation with the one drink per person rule, so I also ordered a beer. The hormone set includes two plates of offal in miso sauce and meat with leek salt flavor. You can enjoy them without getting tired of the taste. The yakiniku set offers a variety of meats - beef, chicken, and pork. The meats were like barbecue style. There were many families with children in the private rooms on Sundays.

The company took me out. We couldn't afford any additional options, but the course and all-you-can-drink were great. The food was delicious, especially the three kinds of tongue dishes. The red wine was also good. The atmosphere was fancy with a nice private room. The staff was good too. I don't remember the cost.

Whenever I go, the quality of the meat is always consistent and delicious! I have been here more than 10 times. While the meat is delicious, the must-try dishes are the foie gras bibimbap and the one-bite cold noodles. It has come to a point where I go for the bibimbap and end up getting the meat as well. They have trendy dishes like yukhoe and square-shaped tongue, but the Hida beef tongue is not too raw and very tasty! Also, the platinum tongue is a must-try! My recommended menu for two people includes: Hida beef tongue x2, platinum tongue x1, chewy one-bite cold noodles x1, and foie gras and truffle bibimbap.

I have been to Kintan restaurants a few times, but this time we chose the one in Kagurazaka as my friend wanted to eat yakiniku. It was located right by the B3 exit of Iidabashi Station. It's a bit hidden in a back alley. The restaurant is two stories high and was bustling with customers during lunchtime on the weekend. We ordered the yakiniku set. Each person had their own grill to cook the meat, so it was easy to enjoy at our own pace. The variety of meat such as tongue, kalbi, and pork was delicious. The barley rice paired perfectly with the meat. The meal also came with soup, salad, and dessert, making it a tasty lunch. I think it's a perfect lunch spot for a girls' get-together during the day.

I was treated to a feast at a company party. I enjoyed indulging in fatty meats prepared in a stylish way. It was a nice change from the usual family barbecue, and I was able to catch up on the latest trends! I had fun comparing different types of yukhoe (Korean beef tartare) and even enjoyed the rice dish at the end! So this is the kind of place you would take someone on a serious date, huh? lol

I used it for celebrating my child's birthday. We were deciding where to go for the birthday meal, and it came down to McDonald's or yakiniku. I thought celebrating with McDonald's might not be very special, so we chose yakiniku instead. I had been to the Yokohama branch before and had a good impression of the delicious food and nice atmosphere, so I found the one in Kagurazaka and made a reservation. We also requested a birthday plate in advance. The interior of this branch was a bit different from the Yokohama one, more like a cafe atmosphere. My husband and I had the limited-time Miyagi beef lunch, our older child had the beef tongue lunch, and our younger child had the beef tongue and yakiniku set. Everything was delicious - this restaurant never disappoints. Thank you for the meal!

I visited a girls' gathering to enjoy early summer. I made a reservation for the "terrace dinner set." The terrace seats (on the rooftop of a building) are dependent on the weather, and nights have been hot lately, so there are challenging factors, but if you are lucky, the incomparable feeling of openness is charming. What's more, the allure of these terrace seats is that there is a self-pouring server for beer, sparkling wine, highballs, and sours. The glasses are also chilled in a dedicated refrigerator. My excitement soared when the staff explained this to us as soon as we sat down. Regarding the yakiniku, each person is served various cuts of meat on individual plates at the beginning. There is no specific explanation, so you have to make your own judgment – the one with lettuce is for salt, and the one without lettuce is for sauce maybe. The course information on the website states that the salt plate includes a "comparison of three aged tongues" and "prime harami," while the sauce plate includes "kalbi," "shintama," "ranichi," and "katasankaku." The "prime harami" has a satisfying thickness and the umami of harami oozes out with every bite, making it delicious. The "three types of tongue" consist of tongue base, tongue tip, and tongue tendon. The tongue base and tongue tendon are also thick and have a delicious umami when chewed. The cuts of meat for the sauce plate are thinner and wider compared to the salt plate, and are grilled lightly. Although this is a well-known yakiniku restaurant, the "terrace dinner set" gives more of a beer garden vibe rather than a traditional yakiniku restaurant feel. However, it is still rated as an "exceptionally delicious barbecue restaurant." Since it is located on the rooftop with staircase access, you cannot expect meticulous service from the staff, but the refreshing breeze, the cityscape sinking into the evening darkness, the self-pouring server... This experience truly heightened the excitement for this summer and provided a wonderful time with friends.

I celebrated Father's Day and my mother's birthday together at a favorite restaurant in Kagurazaka. My father wanted to have yakiniku, so I chose a lunch course for 3900 yen (drinks not included). The course included salad, soup, and rice (choice of white rice or mixed grain rice). The meat was delicious, and the portion in the photo is for one person. The only downside was that the dressing for the salad was a bit salty. It might be better to ask for it on the side next time.

I was brought here for my birthday celebration! I left everything up to them so I don't know what course it was, but there was so much food that I couldn't finish it all ^ ^ It's a course that would make people who eat a lot very happy! The private room on the 3rd floor was elegant and we didn't have to see other people's faces, so it was a luxurious time ^ ^

I added the luxurious course with meat sushi and foie gras and truffle bowl for lunch, and it was delicious and filling! I have had the evening course at another branch before, and there are many different courses to enjoy. I recommend adding the meat sushi and foie gras truffle bowl if they are not included in the course. There was a coupon for meat sushi, but it could only be used in the evening.

Today, three of us made a reservation at KINTAN, a yakiniku restaurant in Kagurazaka, for the first time at 6:00 PM. We walked from Iidabashi Station through the B3 exit and up a little hill in Kagurazaka, turning left into a narrow alley where we could see the red neon sign of KINTAN. The restaurant has a stylish and atmospheric feel. As we entered, we were greeted by a sight of hanging cuts of meat in a refrigerator, which was quite impressive. We were escorted to a private room on the third floor, which had a calm atmosphere. Since we made an à la carte reservation, we enjoyed dishes such as the highly recommended Japan's number one sirloin yukhoe, 30-day aged KINTAN, Caesar salad, kimchi assortment, rare cuts assortment, and wagyu kalbi, accompanied by beer. Yakiniku and beer really go well together. The yukhoe was particularly delicious, with vegetables and sea bream adding a nice touch. It was so good that one person could easily finish a plate. The aged KINTAN had a similar taste to regular tongue, and overall, the yakiniku was decent. There were many sold-out items and drinks, so perhaps a course reservation would have been better. We ended our meal with some chewy cold noodles. Thank you for the feast.

There are multiple yakiniku restaurants in Tokyo. They may be a bit hard to find, but the restaurants are big, spacious, and clean. The second floor is open space, while the third floor has private rooms which are convenient. The meal starts with a comparison of tongue meat and then turns into a delicious meat festival. It's a wonderful restaurant where women can eat a lot without feeling guilty.

I have been using KINTAN for about 3 years, but when I went there recently, I was surprised to find that the taste and quality of service had declined. The pork and chicken were still delicious, but the beef had become tough compared to before, with tough and sinewy parts making it difficult to eat. Additionally, there were leftovers of salad and soup before finishing my rice, and a young female server brought dessert before clearing the table, placing it next to the plate with meat. She seemed flustered as the table was not cleared, and she even placed the dessert cake near the grill, which was disappointing. Despite calling out a few times, our orders were not delivered, and the server did not ask about the size of rice as usual, showing a lack of attentiveness. While such mistakes may be understandable in a regular fast food restaurant, this place has a slightly luxurious concept and is not cheap for lunch, so it was very disappointing. My companion, who always goes with me, mentioned that they had been served by the same server a few times months ago and encountered the same mistakes, noting a decline in the quality of service. As long as this young female server is there, I don't think I will visit this restaurant again. I believe it would be better to use other branches (such as Harajuku or Shibuya) within the same chain, as such incidents do not occur in those locations.

The meat was delicious, but the seating was cramped and the unfriendly female server inexplicably didn't replace the empty glass on the coaster when I ordered a new drink. It was really bad. Even though I understand that servers are human and may be tired, this was still early in the evening, around 7 pm.
