Dark roadside Yakiniku Shop offering all you can eat Yakiniku plans... i don't have a great impression of all you can eat meats spots because once in a while the meat comes out rather frozen and like it was carved with an industrial saw.
But their huge 500yen Yakiniku Lunch banner made me U-turn from my walk and give this place a try.
Nope nope nope nope...
YES!! 500yen for the 100 grams of Yakiniku "Service" Lunch... thats all me! Or you can go for the 724yen 150 gram lunch but in that case why not go for two 500yen Lunches ;).
*** There are 3 lunch courses: Pork Kalbi, Family Ro-Su and Nakauchi Kalbi.
There are some Japanese style booths (no shoes)
This whole booth for 4 all for me. Interior wasn't pretty but he I'm just here for the meat.
Boom! This is really great great volume for only 500yen.
My Family Ro-Su kalbi recommended by the waitress as the most tender.
Kimchee was lightly tasty.
Big bowl of seaweed soup.
100 grams of Yakiniku.
Some white anin-dofu for dessert.
This Yakiniku was amazingly tender! I was simply couldn't believe how soft the Ro-Su was... wow... all Smiles!
Cool Metal Chopsticks just like Korea
All these things for free~. Fresh garlic, Kochijan, Spicy red oil...
Sauces: Lemon sauce, sweet yakiniku sauce, spicy sauce and Japanese style sauce.
Kids Menu!
Smoking and Non-Smoking sections!
Kitchen looked like something out of a school cafeteria... huge.
Customers place dots of where they live.
Free candy to return your breath back to normal.
Great thing about family restaurants located far from station is that they need to offer great deals to attract diners... lots of locals and cab drivers. I fully enjoyed myself in this spacious restaurant and will definitely take that long stroll to have another 500yen lunch! See you soon Anraku-Tei!
I can't remember the last time I had Yakiniku (Japanese grilled BBQ). When Mari was working in Ginza she would frequent this spot during lunch... she event mentioned she went 4 out of 5 days for their lunch specials (also serve korean dishes). There are normally 2 levels of beef that can range from 800yen for the lower quality to 2,000 yen for the same part of beef but higher softer quality. So eating Yakiniku for 2 can easily run +10,000 yen. Another option is to goto a regular Yakiniku Buffet restaurant that might run 3,000yen but the quality of beef is hit and miss. Anyways, this spot is actually run by a beef wholesaler/butcher so the quality and flavor was very oishiii~. We did the early bird 5-7pm dinner buffet with 500 yen off plus Stone bowl bibimbap, kalbi kuppa (spicy rice soup) and yukke (seasoned raw beef) was included for this time period. The Kalbi was so soft and mouth watering, Mari's favorite. I liked the ro-su (ロースwhats this in English?) and seasoned Yukke was amazing. I was all about eating and ordered just water... tempted with beer but needed that extra space for all the great meats. We ordered Kalbi/Ro-su/Harami x 3 dishes, Yukke x2, Tontori (pork), mixed vegetable plate, kimchee, daikon kimchee, Kalbi Kuppa, seaweed soup, cow tongue pork spare ribs, young chicken w/ miso seasoning x1 and some rice. Oh, if you show them this coupon you'll get 2 free deserts (http://r.gnavi.co.jp/g293422/map1.htm), we had the frozen Mango desert. If you want to add all you can drink its 2,100 yen for men and 1,575 yen for ladies. Great atmosphere, great service and the quality of meat was excellent...totally recommend this place...
