IKEBUKURO: Shikino Utage Chinese Restaurant... 3,480 yen hotpot course only 1,980 yen. LOVE GROUPON! (SONY RX100)

So where do you look when having dinner with a friend that is a heavy drinker?  I always turn to Groupon to help me to keep the tab within reason.  This night full course plus all you can drink "nomihoudai" for only 1,980 yen!



Mona Lisa faces this restaurant... nice. 

Salad arrived... thought this course will disappoint. 

Egg and a slice of duck perhaps?  Yeah still not too impressed with the food quality.

Stuck to beers and hi-balls for the nomihoudai menu.

A little bit of salmon, shrimp and squid.

The main dish was a chicken hot pot.

Here we go... steak sushi with wasabi.  Things are looking up!

The nomihoudai free flow drink menu... looooots of options.


We had a booth overlooking the main dining area.



Steak!  This course was definitely not too bad.

One more beer.

The waitress will ask if you want to add udon noodles or egg and rice to mix into the hot pot.

Lots of great pictures in the main menu... like this. 







Now add the egg and rice.


Always one of my favorites because the rice absorbs all the flavor from the hotpot.

Overall this was once again an amazing Groupon value!  When in Japan you gotta check out the app but because you need to made advanced reservations you may want to brush up on your Japanese.
