Tokyoen Otsuka Honten Review Summary

I’ll take quality over quantity
I think reputation is too high about this restaurant

創業46年を誇る老舗焼肉店「東京苑」の大塚店は、昭和レトロな雰囲気が魅力的。どこか懐かしい空間で焼肉を楽しめます。この店の名物は「元祖10秒ロース」。片面5秒ずつ焼くだけで柔らかくジューシーな味わいを堪能できます。また、「レバーのシャトーブリアン」はレバー好きに絶対試してほしい逸品です。

【料理・味】
牛タンや10秒ロース、レバーなど、どのメニューも文句なしの美味しさですが、特に印象に残ったのは「牛ハツとセンマイのあいもり刺し」。お酒が止まらないほどの美味しさでした。また、「ネギめし」はお肉のお供にぴったりで、〆にいただいた「冷し坦々冷麺」も絶品でした。

【アクセス】
JR大塚駅から徒歩約4分。駅近の商店街の一角に位置しています。飲食店が立ち並ぶ中、レトロな外観が目印。ただし、入口は少し分かりにくいので、ナビを頼りに地下1階へ進むと見つかります。

【店の雰囲気】
昭和レトロな内装が印象的な店内は広々としており、ソファーテーブル席やフローリングのテーブル席など、用途に応じた選択が可能です。訪れる客層は男性グループやカップル、子連れの家族が多め。落ち着いた雰囲気で、周りを気にせずゆっくり過ごせます。

【サービス】
来店時、お子様にチョコボールをプレゼントしてくれることも。こうした昔ながらの心遣いが感じられるサービスも魅力的です。

【価格・コスパ】
価格は一般的な焼肉店と同程度ですが、料理のクオリティやボリューム、ドリンクの提供スピードなどを考慮すると、十分に満足できる内容でした。

Yakiniku restaurant in Otsuka.
It is located 3-4 minutes from Otsuka Station.
A restaurant that won the 2018 Yakiniku 100 Famous Restaurants list.
It seems like it's slowing down lately.

I made a reservation by phone before going.
I didn't like his attitude on the phone,
I was looking at the reviews on the way there.
I realized that customer service has pros and cons.
I went to the store feeling a little anxious.

I went on a Saturday around 7:00pm and the place was about 80% full.
It's quite a fit.
What I just received is below.

✔︎Liver chateaubriand (2590 yen)
✔︎Jotan Shio (990 yen)
✔︎ Heart sashimi (790 yen)
✔︎Salt Heart (790 yen)
✔︎Tokyoen 10 seconds roast (1390 yen)
✔︎Stone grilled seafood bowl small (1200 yen)

Everything was delicious overall.
It is synonymous with Tokyo-en.
Liver Chateaubriand is
The color looks like spots and I wonder if this is okay...
I thought the texture of the crispy liver was good.
You can also feed it with salted sesame oil.
However, I think 2590 yen is expensive...
Because it looks too bad
Not photogenic lol

Others are highly satisfied.
There was also a category called high-grade great tongue salt,
Although the price is high, you can be satisfied with the high quality salt.
The loin comes with a raw egg, so you can enjoy it grilled.
Heart sashimi, salt heart
Chewy, elastic and delicious!
Hearts really like salt~(●´∀｀●)

Seafood soup is my favorite.
Ingredients include squid, scallops, clams, shiitake mushrooms, and eggs.
There's more seafood than I expected.
Do you saute seafood in butter before adding it?
A fusion of buttery and ocean scents
It was a new Bowser.

The quality of the food was good overall!
I didn't aim to look good with liver chatoburi (because the color is bad),
If you're looking for cheap and delicious meat,
I think I can achieve my goal at Tokyo-en.

The customer service at the store wasn't bad at all, so
It's a good store, so please answer the phone.
I think it's better to stop being disrespectful...(^◇^;)
I guess there's nothing we can do about it since we have a lot of foreign staff.

Thank you for the meal!

I tend to focus on liver and beef tongue.
No, it's delicious though

Hormones are so delicious!

They are very particular about the production, and it's interesting!

Tokyo Garden is finally here! The charm of exquisite liver and yakiniku!

This was my first visit to Tokyo-en in Otsuka.
I visited with high expectations as it was a highly rated Yakiniku restaurant, and I was able to enjoy a variety of delicious dishes that lived up to my expectations.

◎Good points
●Liver Chateaubriand
First, I ordered the highly acclaimed liver Chateaubriand.
When I took a bite of this, I was surprised by its softness and rich flavor.
The liver, simply seasoned with sesame oil and salt, was fresh, had no odor, and was so delicious that I could eat as many pieces as I wanted.
Liver Chateaubriand is a rare item that you don't often find at Yakiniku restaurants, so I thought it was a must-try item when visiting this restaurant.

●Deliciousness of 10 seconds roast
Next, I tried Tokyoen's famous 10-second roast.
Thinly sliced ​​loin is grilled for 5 seconds on each side and mixed with raw eggs.
This grilling process is exquisite and brings out the flavor of the loin to its fullest.
The tender and juicy loin had a melt-in-your-mouth texture and went perfectly with the raw egg.
This dish was simple yet full of flavor.

●Extensive menu and good value for money
One of the charms of Tokyoen is its rich menu and good value for money.
We have a wide range of menu items, from standard yakiniku dishes such as heart sashimi, senmai, and offal, to slightly unusual dishes.
Another good point is that the prices are reasonable, allowing you to enjoy high-quality meat at an affordable price.
In particular, the hot hormone sauce had just the right amount of spiciness, and I was very satisfied with the flavor that went well with the alcohol.

●In-store atmosphere and service
Although the inside of the store was small, it had a homely atmosphere and was comfortable.
The QR code ordering style was convenient and I was able to order smoothly.

☆Summary
``Tokyoen'' was a Yakiniku restaurant that was very satisfying with its delicious food and kind service.
In particular, the chateaubriand liver and 10 second roast are exquisite and worth revisiting.
The restaurant's atmosphere and value for money are appealing, and we highly recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy delicious yakiniku in the Otsuka area.
