Yonezawaya Review Summary

A hidden yakiniku restaurant.

Rather than grilling on the table, which is common, the staff will grill it for you on a charcoal grill.

Every part was delicious, and it was probably because he was particular about the way he grilled it, which I wouldn't have been able to do myself!

The curry was also excellent, and the noodles at the end were also great.
Everything was so delicious I felt like I was going to burst.

I'm so happy that they think about what I want to eat when I request it!

If you are looking for a hidden yakiniku restaurant, please check it out!
However, please note that access is a little difficult!

A famous restaurant in Fukasawa that serves the original lump yakiniku.

We recommend going by taxi or bus from Jiyugaoka.

A famous restaurant for original lump yakiniku.
Reservations are required.
The atmosphere is full of regulars.
I visited on a Sunday night, and it was almost full.

The staff seems to be busy, so I'm sorry but I usually bake! One word.
I like to bake so it didn't bother me,
It seems like there are times like that.

Each piece of meat comes out in chunks as shown in the photo.
It's very powerful.
Be careful not to order too much.

There is also a secret menu for regulars, and on the day I visited, I had the inner thigh meat.
Unfortunately, it is out of stock so I can't order it.

What you should eat is
Special loin, special salted tongue, and harami are must-orders!

This is a store I would like to visit on a free day.

Yonezawaya is located in Fukasawa, Setagaya Ward.
Fukasawa is a quiet residential area that is best reached by bus from Jiyugaoka Station.
A specialty store for Yonezawa beef.
This is a rare shop in the city, where all of the offal and other ingredients are made from Yonezawa beef.
The special feature is that half of the menu items come out as thick chunks of meat!
The meat being cut is over 1cm long, so scissors are required.
It is also a rare cut of beef tongue that can be eaten in one piece from core to tip.
It takes good grilling skills, but I'm thankful that I can eat a lot of Yonezawa beef at this price!
I carried over the meat that was marked super for next time (lol)

A famous yakiniku restaurant hidden away in a residential area.
There is also a yakiniku restaurant with the best value for money called Yakiniku Nobel just two doors down!
(It's a popular local restaurant that also sells game meat such as kangaroo meat and venison.)

Even though there were quite a few empty tables, I was guided to a counter seat. During my stay, no other customers were allowed to come in, so I was wondering why I was shown to the counter. When I told them that I would like to have the food grilled, they initially refused, even though the staff at other tables had grilled the food for them. In the end, I asked another staff member to grill it for me, but I felt a little uneasy about the fact that the quality of the service could vary depending on the customer at this restaurant.
Eating at the counter, with the waiter's hand constantly crossing in front of me as she prepared my food, became a chore, and I found it difficult to concentrate on my meal, and I lost my appetite.
The food is based on personal preference, but the quality of the meat, kimchi, salad, soup, curry, and other side dishes were mediocre and not to my liking.
I will not visit again after making a comprehensive judgment on the customer service and quality of the food.
I had high expectations for Yonezawaya in Fukazawa since it's in the neighborhood, so I'm very disappointed.

The customer service... If you're a lifer, you might be satisfied.
It may be a good restaurant if you become a regular, but even locals have mixed reviews.
