Visited on May 20th 2026 on a Wednesday. Had the all you can eat wagyu at 7300 yen without alcohol. Ate here twice with friends with reservation on previous trips and enjoyed each visit. This trip I went alone at 11:55am right before they opened. I asked if I could dine alone with no reservations and they said yes, so I was able to be seated immediately after opening. You get 80 minutes to order food and 100 minutes for the entire meal. In my experience, this was more than enough time for a solo diner but you definitely need to watch your time when dining as a group. The main reason I like this restaurant is the open nature of many elements. Regular drinks are included in the meal with unlimited refills and they are self serve, meaning you won’t be waiting on serving staff to refill your drink. Second, after finishing the first round of predetermined meat which they bring to your table (small portion when dining solo), you can go up to the counter and order directly there, telling them the number label of the cut you want and how many slices. This is very useful and convenient for any customer as you easily have visual confirmation on the cut of meat you are getting without any disappointing surprises that one might get from a traditional kitchen order ayce place. The workers are very helpful as they understand English during the ordering process. Needless to say, both fatty and lean cuts were great for the price point. I like to start with fattier cuts then finish off with the leaner cuts. After you select your meats, they ask if you want to add sauce to it. I generally decline as there are more than enough condiments you can add yourself to adjust the individual saltiness and flavor of of each piece of meat. As for the side menu, I always enjoyed their beansprout and green vegetable Namul as a must needed palate cleanser from all the grease from the meat. The tomato salad is exquisite as well. One thing to note is that the kalbi soup is quite heavy and salty, so if you are watching salt content, don’t order it even though I personally liked the flavor. All in all, I’ve always visited this restaurant every time I return to Japan. And it’s a great lunch meal to have while you walk off the calories during your afternoon stroll through Akiba.
Meat tabesugi! Protein loaded place! I highly recommend this place if you want All You Can Eat Wagyu + softdrink. You won’t get disappoint for ¥7000ish course. It’s like a meatshop concept that you choose what cuts of wagyu you want in the meat glass counter, it was not that busy so getting refill of meat at the counter was easy! Kimchi ramen beef stew was good! Lots of good side dishes + hot and cold softdrinks. We’ll comeback again if I have friends coming over from overseas.
Wow! What a great experience AGAIN! Was back here after 3years, same high quality meets, including Kobe, Wagyu, regular beef, chicken, pork, misc. As far as I remember, it used to be just Wagyu and now it is 7 Wagyu, 3-5 regular beef, and 5 Kobe (if you choose Kobe option) A real all you can eat experience with high quality meat and side dishes. Oh, you can add ¥1000 to make it all you can drink alcoholic drinks too!! Regular AYCE has soft drinks included. Hope their business thrive more and more as this is a unique place to have Wagyu.
I visited this place for their 100-minute all you can eat and drink during lunch on a weekend. It wasn't too crowded, and booking through Google Maps was a breeze! The beef was good, but honestly, it didn't have that 'wow' for me. I really enjoyed the salads and side dishes, which were easy to order via QR code and served very quickly. One thing to note: you have to line up at the counter to select your cuts of beef. This was fine during lunch, but I imagine it could be quite time-consuming during the busy evening rush. The staff were very attentive and kind.
I had high expectations for this wagyu buffet, but the service and layout left a lot to be desired. Service & Seating: We booked our table via Google a day in advance, but the seating arrangement was disappointing. Even though we arrived right at opening and had several bags with us, the staff seated us at a cramped high table. Meanwhile, other groups of two without any bags were given spacious tables by the window. It felt very poorly managed. Atmosphere: The environment is quite stressful. Our table was located right next to the meat selection counter, meaning there was a constant line of people standing over us and watching us eat while they waited for their turn. It’s hard to enjoy a premium meal with that much foot traffic inches away. The Ordering Process: The current system of queuing up at the counter to select meat is highly inefficient. As other reviews have mentioned, during peak hours you spend a significant portion of your limited time just standing in line. By the time you queue, grill, and eat, your 90 or 120 minutes are nearly up. Recommendation to Management: Please move the meat ordering to the iPad system. The physical queue takes away from the 'all-you-can-eat' value because you spend more time waiting than actually dining. The quality of the wagyu is good, but the logistics and seating fairness need a major upgrade before I would consider returning.
