    Great yakiniku The restaurant offers a good selection of wet cured meat for guests to enjoy grilling at their tables. The menus were easily understandable for non-Japanese speakers and staffs are very supportive even though not all of them speak English. The meat was great, although at times a bit chewy, depending on what type you chose.

    🥵 -The private room did not have air conditioner 📷 -the light was quite dim that it’s really hard for taking pictures. 🥩 🧂 -The Rin set’s meat was too salty. Even though we tried to drink lots of water to compensate it, the saltiness of the food did not get any better. It’s the worst Yakiniku restaurant I’ve ever ate in Japan!

    Came here on a Monday around noon for their yakiniku lunch sets. There were many other people eating but we were a party of 5 and were able to get a small private room. We ordered 3 yakiniku lunch sets (2 regular, 1 special with the beef tongue). They were very reasonably priced. Around 1600-2000 JPY. Each set came with rice, salad and soup. You can get unlimited refills of rice and soup (serve yourself in the open dining area - need to wear the plastic gloves during Covid times). We also ordered 2 bibimbap sets, who included a bibimbap, 1 plate of meat, salad and soup. We ordered 1 extra plate of kalbi (600 JPY?), and everything was delicious. Great value for money. I am fairly certain it would cost more for me to buy this amount and quality of food and beef to make by myself. I will definitely be back for more yakiniku lunch.

    The food here was delicious! We all got the Rin set which came with like 8 different kinds of meat to be eaten in a certain order. But my favourite was the sukiyaki quick they mixed with raw egg & rice! Loved it. Aside from the meat, the salad, chawan mushi, & soup were all delicious! My only issue was that everybody at the table had to get the same set meal, which meant we couldn’t try anything else from the sets.

    A very fashionable deco yakiniku restaurant in Roppongi area. We ordered a set called homura. One of us doesn’t eat beef so the stuff kindly helped us change some to pork. The beef and tongues are so tender and delicious. The side dishes are kimchi, veggies and salads which are great too. After grilled the meat, it came with the Korean style snow soup cold noodles. But the most amazing one is the dessert- black sugar shaved ice. Overall it’s a delicious restaurant with good price.

    Roppongi is a strange place, where you have to gamble every time you try a new place. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Today we tried this Yakiniku restaurant and it was a definite win. As soon as we came in, we realized we came inside a cool trendy place. It was bigger than it looked from the outside. They can easily accommodate big groups. The next thing we liked was the service. The staff members were friendly and they even accommodated us when we requested a bigger table. Finally, the best part was the food. The beef was really good and the lunch portions were enough for us to get full. And to top it off, the prices were very reasonable, especially since this restaurant is conveniently located in front of Roppongi Hills. We will definitely go back whenever we are in Roppongi and feel like eating good Yakiniku at a reasonable price.

    We were starving and walking to the mall when we saw the giant red circle for yakiniku. We couldn’t find it on here at first but I could after typing in yakiniku near me. It’s a giant restaurant, they sat us down quickly, and they were very polite. We got drinks and all kinds of meat the wagyu was soft and delicious.

    Nice atmosphere. Reasonable price. Beef tongue is so soft and delicious🤤if you wanna have a quick lunch and continue the museum visits, it is a perfect place.

    This place is not smoky like most yakinuku. The smoke exhaust is really good. The must try is the sukiyaki beef with egg yolk over rice ball.

  • 3/5 Jesse C. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is literally 1/2 full and we had to ask the server 3-4 times to bring rice and Kim chi, service is definitely slacking for japanese standards. The seems to be in la la land somewhere else. There is also no chicken or pork or anything else for that matter other then beef. Limited menu Good for a one time visit but I'll honestly pass for a 2nd visit . Many other options in Roppongi.

    Have been here several times before the pandemic and since the renovation that has made the place more versatile for supporting parties of various sizes. The lunch options are good and dinner is great. We like that they can accommodate the occasonal large party, even without reservation. There can be a small extra charge for the large reserved rooms at the back. Everyone guest (work or friend) we have brought there has enjoyed the experience. The dosot bibimbap (hot stone rice bowl) lunch is tasty but the rice doesn't get crispy enough for my tastes. The naengmyeon/Morioka reimen (chewy cold noodles in broth) is good. I wonder if they will bring back the citrus version they used to have for the summer? The manager speaks excellent English if needed.

    Excellent grilled beef yakiniku, wonderful setting though expensive.

    Cook your own meat style place. I think it’s a chain and it’s pretty big inside. Good meat and service.

    Great value, great atmosphere, great service, great food quality. Can't believe I haven't been here before. It's made the list.

    Amazing food for a very reasonable price! The atmosphere is very nice and there is a great choice of good wine. This is a perfect alternative to experience wagyu courses, yet delicious. Dinner for 2 was about $100 including a bottle of Australian Shiraz

    I’m not sure if we just ordered the wrong menu item as all the reviews raved about this place. The decor and ambiance of the restaurant is great but the meat is really mediocre at best and was quite expensive for what you get. We got the 2nd to most expensive set and the meat wasn’t tender, instead it was very chewy and just didn’t taste good. They also don’t give any sauce or salt for the meat. Service is also quite slow. I think this is quite possibly the worst meal we had during our time in Japan and definitely regret choosing to eat here. The rice in the roasted beef & bento box was probably what tasted the best of everything in the set. You are better off going somewhere else for yakiniku
