    One of the best Hamburg I've ever eaten in Japan. The meat tastes great and it's so juicy inside. If you cut it in half from the middle, you can see the meat juice coming out beautifully. You'll probably have to wait for this one, but it's totally worth it🔥

    Best Hamburg Steak in My Life. Food is excellent. There's a large number of different Hamburg steaks to choose from. My wife and I tried two out of the lot - one being their signature menu. Each dish is served with generous portion of Hamburg steak with a little bit of rice and salad. Temperature of the meat is excellent also. - the Hamburg steak is so juicy that you'll see the meat juice ooze out as soon as your knife hits the meat. Service is great. The waiters were very kind and welcoming. Whilst there are people in line, you don't feel forced to dine quickly. We got to the restaurant as soon as they opened but surprisingly had to wait for a little while. So I suggest that you get there early if you don't want to wait for too long! They do have menus in different languages also.

    Loved the food here🐷 How can they make hamburg steak so juicy? I was contemplating whether I should order one more piece or not lol It was so good. If you go during the lunch, there is a set menu which comes with soup, rice and salad which is a good deal! Recommended to visit! 👍🏻

    There was a line out the door with locals so we thought we'd try this place. I was not too familiar with the Japanese hamburger steak prior to this visit so it was fascinating to see how popular it was. We waited for about 30 minutes, during which time they took our orders, and once we got seated, the dishes came out fairly soon. The steak had a lot of fat. So much so that when you poked it, it oozed with enough rendered fat to cover the entire plate. I get that this creates a very tender bite but I personally thought it was unbalanced. It was just too heavy with fat for me to enjoy. The American side of me expected (and wanted) something similar to the regular burger patties. The fried shrimp were overcooked and that didn't help.

    Despite the initial cut into hamburg steak makes it appear to be an overly juicy piece of meat. The texture/flavor did not excel compared to other hamburg steak. The visuals does make it very attractive on instagram/social media. Service was excellent. I do recommend ordering rice to pair with the meat as it is a bit on the saltier side.

    Juicy and delicious hamburger steak. The corn soup was very good and creamy. It gets busy during lunch, so expect a line. They offer menus in several languages. The staff are very nice.

    Hidden gem around the Nishiki Market. There is usually a line so you will need to make sure you leave enough time before they close after lunch and reopen for dinner. The food is juicy and succulent and worth it if you're in the area. It's a must try!

    Walk passed and saw line of people, so we go back the next day on the opening time. BUT the line was there already! 😳 Spent 40 minutes waiting. Nothing wrong with the hamburg, all are nicely cooked and there are soup coming out when you cut it. But it's just not our type of hamburg, we prefer more rich and tense taste of beef 🙂

    This place has amazing burger patties, soft as clouds and so very tasty , its truly special . You dont get it as a burger with buns but you can get a set manu with milk buns which were good and also comes with nice corn soup . Go there.

    It was very juicy hamburg steak! We came around 5:20 on Friday. Luckily, didn’t have to wait. When we were done eating, there was a line to be seated.

    A really solid hamburg steak, the smaller portion is adequate and worth the price. Not mind blowingly fantastic, hence the 4 stars, but really good and juicy still

    I saw this place had a long queue months ago, and finally happened to pass by when the queue was short (it was raining). I also got to skip ahead as I was eating alone, so they gave me one of the free counter seats. I chose the cheese hamburger lunch set, which came with rice, miso soup and salad. The juices really do gush from the patty when you poke it with your chopsticks, and the flavor went very well with the sauce. I would like to visit again, and hopefully try some of the other types.

👍👍 I went there for the children section and it was very nice. They have a good soft playground for babies/toddlers and my son had a nice time there. In the parents room you can give food, clean and take care of your child, but also weith and measure him. This so convenient.
