All the dishes are tasty with competitive price! Open till 7am and a nice place to have late meal (only 2min walk from hotel). Staff BABU is super helpful to foreigners😊😊 There are Chinese and English menu available.

If you’re looking for authentic Korean cuisine (BBQ), you should look for something else, I’m sure you will have a better option. The restaurant offers very small portions but charge for high price, this makes it even more expensive. They don’t follow Korean traditions because they don’t give you silver/metal chopsticks and spoons, they don’t give you side dishes for your BBQ either,instead they 550 yen for kimchi and the flavor is not good. They also don’t follow Japanese tradition because they don’t offer you free iced water, instead they kind of force you to order a drink.
We spent 7700 yen for 2 persons, it’s just barely enough because I ate rice to fill my stomach otherwise I will still be hungry!!! The flavor is average, you can find the same flavor food in the Korean supermarket only for a quarter of the price.
The service is very cold, they saw you’re burning your meat but they don’t give you advice how to grill the meat better, so I had burned and bitter meat!!!

Really nice Korean BBQ with good service and tasty meat.
Inside the restaurant, you can put your jacket in plastic bags so they do not smell too much. After, you can decide between a large variety of meat, typical Korean dishes like Bibimbap, and drinks. The meat platter for two was perfect to get an impression of the meat, and we ordered our favorites in a separate request after. After dinner, you will be sprayed by staff to avoid the smell of smoke. Simply sensational!
Caution: this place can get crowded, and waiting lines outside are almost normal. Bring time!

Had dinner with my partner there on 24 June 2023 while on vacation in Japan. Food was incredible, all the meats were extremely fresh and delicious after being cooked over the charcoal grill. Highly recommend the special karubi (特選カルビ) which was so good that we ordered a second serving. Love the different cuts of beef tongue as well. Also suggest trying the Yukhoe (ユッケ) here if you are up for raw beef, this was easily the best Yukhoe I have had outside of South Korea. Service was excellent, with all the staff being very attentive and kept making sure that our drinks were filled and helping us when the fire got too intense. Will definitely come here again in the future when I am in Tokyo.
