An awesome restaurant to eat grilled cow's tongue -- I understand that in most cultures people don't usually eat any animal's tongue, but we Japanese people do eat it and in fact like it a lot. It actually is very tasteful and got a nice, …

Photos: Tabelog It's a casual restaurant for quality pork hamburger (meat ball) and "bio wine" made from biodynamic agriculture. I'm not into wine so not sure how bio wine appeals to wine people, but their pork meat balls are very good. Th…

An awesome Yakiniku restaurant I like just as much as Yoroniku -- but this one is much easier to make a reservation for and its location is more convenient. Not sure why it's not yet so popular and I hope it stays that way so that I can ju…

Source: facebook page A good Yakiniku option in this area. Well balanced, reasonably priced. Quality beef. The portion feels a bit small for me for the pricing and I'd appreciate more sauce on each dish (you'd need to ask for it). Pretty l…

Source: ほねつきかるべ (Tabelog) Located deep in the red-light district in Shibuya, it's a small, shabby Yakiniku restaurant that serves good quality beef at the affordable pricing. Not best for date dinner as you can see, but good for a g…

You might have noticed, I'm a huge fan of Tonkatsu and I'd say Tonkatsu is probably the best wayt to cook and eat pork. Here's the list of my best Tonkatsu ever. #1 Tonkatsu Daimon Aoki (in Daimon & Kamata) tokyodiningout.hatenablog.jp Not…

Amazing "Menchi-Katsu" place located in the Ginza area. They also have Menchi-Katsu burger, exclusively sold in this Ginza branch, which turned out to be great! And everything here is pretty affordable. Note that you can't eat in here so i…

Well known, traditional Tonkatsu restaurant that has a long history. Interestingly, its Tonkatsu sandwich (to go) is more popular/recognized than its Tonkatsu to eat in there. I also never sat in and had Tonkatsu there, but rather called t…

Quality Tonkatsu (pork cutlet), well-known in this area, usually crowded. They take a long time to deep-fry their pork and you should expect to wait for a good 30 minutes after ordering it. It's very moist, tender, flavorful. Definitely wo…

Photos by sakura007 New Zealand's beef & lamb restaurant located right by Tokyo Tower. Nice tower view at night, even from the balcony seats. Awesome to be out there during the spring and summer. Casual lunch menu is available while dinner…

Photos above from ヒトサラ One of the best options to eat beef in the Ebisu area. Became very popular, need to make a reservation at least 2-3 weeks prior (unless you go there 5pm or after 10:30pm). Quality beef, carefully grilled, reasona…

Run by the same company that runs Yoroniku. The course dishes are pretty much the same as Yoroniku but are arranged with slightly less quality beef thus priced more reasonably. Definitely a great option for beef in this area. Good for a ca…

Photo: Facebook Photo: https://tabelog.com/tokyo/A1310/A131003/13185240/ Named after "Love me tender", sort of funny if you think about it. Great lamb is served here (beef & pork too). Lunch is exceptionally reasonable considering its qual…

Photos: http://www.tendan.co.jp/ Yakiniku restaurant from Kyoto. Only 2 branches available in Tokyo as of 2016. They do a very good job making private spaces in the restaurants so that you can relax and enjoy your meal without caring about…

Photo from Tabelog Awesome place to eat beef (and pork) at exceptionally reasonable pricing. The portion's huge too. You'll be stunned how much meat you can get with what you pay. Make sure to bring a few people with you so that you can en…

Fantastic Tonkatsu dishes and yet reasonably priced. What a restaurant. A bit far from central Tokyo but it's absolutely worth the train ride. Period. My rating: 5.0 Tonkatsu KuroganeTabelog | More photos | 03-6459-6416 Address: 6-19-16 Mi…

Unbelievably tender, flavorful Tonkatsu. I place this restaurant in Top 3 for Tonkatsu in my life and will probably be so for the rest of my life. Not much else to say. You just have to give it a try and will understand what I'm saying. Aw…

They seem quite serious about beef, seeing how they handle a chunk of beef at the special grill in the kitchen. The meat gets meticulously done according to your liking. Quality guaranteed. Nice counter seats and a private room. Can be a g…

Used to be well known as "SumibiyakiShichirin", pretty famous for Yakiniku lovers in this domain. The quality of their beef is surely good but a bit pricy for its quality. You might still not get full by spending 10,000 JPY so should expec…

Popular Katsudon restaurant in the Shibuya area, and it's pretty much Katsudon only to eat. So, come for lunch if interested. A bit of a walk from Shibuya station so you'll nicely be hungy when you get there. More salty/sweeter than averag…

Well known high quality Tonkatsu restaurant in the area. LIke it a lot. The only downside is that it literally takes 30-40 minutes to be served after your order gets placed. So you need to be patient inside the restaurant as well as outsid…

Love BBQ Ribs here. THE best ribs dish I've ever had in Japan in terms of being pretty close to authentic American-style smoky BBQ ribs. I'm not a fan of mac & cheese so make no comments about it, but their corn bread is great too. The rib…

Placed in my top 2 Tonkatsu in my life. Absolutely great. It's deep-fried just right and tastes like heaven. They use the brand pork called "Hayashi SPF" and this pork just goes beyond pork.....oh man, you just have to give it a shot to un…

Very popular "Gyukatsu" (beef cutlet) restaurant that now runs 6 branches in Tokyo (as of October 2016). Note that Shibuya branches are always very crowded and you should expect to wait for an hour or so, I'd suggest you get there 30-60 mi…

Used to be "Pepper Lunch" but the company replaced most of the PL branches with "IkinariSteak" in Japan, which is now much better quality at a higher pricing. Over 100 branches in Japan as of September 2016. You should be able to find one …
