Customer Reviews
Our server was delightful and spoke English, which made communication very easy. The food was freshly prepared and absolutely amazing. We chose the non-wagyu option and I replaced the rice with a broccoli base, and it was under ¥2,000. Roast beef was very tender and the onion sauce was an excellent pairing. Lots of protein and a good amount of rice too. The horseradish gave it the extra kick to elevate the donburi to the next layer of flavour. Oxtail soup was light but would come back for the beef bowl alone. Afforadable for the amount of beef served too! The ambience is classic and clean, and they even provide warm water if you ask.
This is a pretty popular spot in Tokyo so I had decent expectations. It was also my first time trying Wagyu beef (although I know this place doesn’t serve the most premium cut). However, I was left quite disappointed as it tastes just like regular beef slices, wasn’t very tender and was rather bland. The best part of the meal was the rice and the cream cheese + horseradish sauce, but I felt that it wasn’t sufficient. I would skip this place and eat something else.
Our server was delightful. They speak English, so very easy to communicate. Food, although brand new to me, was amazing. Definitely something you can try, got the non/wagyu option and was less than 2000¥. Will definitely eat it again if I’m in the area.
