2735855180096864855EASwsg_fs4725yen set with sukiyaki beef, vegetables, rice, miso soup and a small dessert. Expensive but good quality Japanese beef restaurant which is very famous and has many branches. I have never been to the original restaurant in Ningyocho but this branch, located between Yoyogi and Shinjuku stations, is spacious and has comfortable private rooms. And if you ask, the pretty lady in kimono will cook and serve you every slice of beef while you eat - very important service as I have wasted very good beef due to my crappy cooking before….Last time I came(see tag), I had the full course cos I wasn’t the one paying, while this time I had the more modest set which I found satisfying enough. There are also cheaper sets only available at lunch time, but if you make reservations in advance, there is a minimum charge of 2500yen per person.

Tried the shabu-shabu too. Too bad I didn’t take pics of the shabu hotpot.

The appetizer and the beef sushi are okay but nothing special. Better to just order shabu-shabu, sukiyaki, or steak, which are the most satisfying.

0707090006Lunch A, 1575yen. Thai-style beef salad(too sour), Thai green curry with aubergine and beef(very watery curry…), Tom Yum Kung soup(very sour again), stir-fry cabbage and something else I forgot, rice, and fried banana with coconut milk. Pretty expensive for the mediocre quality. This restaurant is under the same group as this restaurant and they are right next to each other. Gosh my complaints were exactly the same! ^^;;;
Lunch menu: 1, 2.

Half fried rice and half ramen set. The ramen is nice but the chashu pork and the fried rice are way too salty~. This place seems famous and they only have ramen and fried rice on the menu. Everyone ordered the half fried rice and half ramen set. I usually avoid double carbs(in Japan, udon+rice, ramen+rice kind of set meals are very common) but oh what the heck. I went early so there was no queue, but when I left half an hour later the queue was just crazy. I don’t think there is an air-conditioner inside…I wonder what it will be like in summer….
