Ebisu Yakiniku Kintan

Kintan group has several Yakiniku restaurants in it and they are all very good. I like this one in Ebisu best for its menu, service and interior. Lunch menu is pretty reasonably priced. Good for business meals, a date dinner, friends getti…

Red Rock

Photos by bottan Popular roasted beef bowl restaurant that has 2 branches in Tokyo: this one in Harajuku and the other in Takadanobaba. The Harajuku branch seems less crowded and you sometimes don't even need to wait in a line. Pretty good…

Nishimura

Amazing quality for the prices! Super impressed when I came here for the first time. Have been here 30+ times since then. There are Tonkatsu restaurants that are better quality, but not at this pricing. Such a bummer that it's not open on …

Meat Yazawa

Photos from website Such a beefy place. Nothing but beef. Don't even think about coming unless you love beef. You eat either beef steak or groud beef steak. The quality of beef is certainly guaranteed. One thing to be careful of is that th…

Shunjukusei

Photo from Tabelog Come here for aged beef and wine to go with. Impressive and yet reasonably priced. Nice atmosphere. Fairly casual but stylish enough for a date dinner too. Azabu Juban is the station closest to this restaurant but you ca…

GINZA BAIRIN

Traditional style Tonkatsu restaurant in the center of Ginza. Easy access, safe option for lunch. A bit pricy but guess it comes from its long history. Katsudon may be a good choice for your first visit and it's as cheap as 1,000 JPY. Give…

Misuji

Yoroniku

So far, THE best Yakiniku restaurant in central Tokyo, considering what you can be served for the 10,000 JPY price range. Super impressive how good each of the course dishes are and you never get tired of having them. They cook beef for yo…

USHIGORO

Photo from Tabelog A typical quality beef place in the Roppongi area. Can be expensive but comes with the food and service appropriate for the price. Recommend it if you are fine spending 10,000 JPY (or more) for an experience, and in fact…

Yakiniku Jumbo

A great option for eating Yakiniku in Tokyo. Pick any of the branches that is close to where you are. You won't regret. Not just Yakiniku but the side dishes are pretty good too. Not cheap and yet worth the cost. Try once and see how you l…

Beef Kitchen

Photo: http://oya-food.com/beef-kitchen-nakameguro/ Good option as a beef BBQ place in the Nakameguro area. Stylish place, spacious seats, quality but reasonable beef. Can do lunch too. Thier noodles are also good. Recommend it. My rating:…

Onzoushi Matsurokuya

Photo from ヒトサラ Awesome beef-bowl lunch dish! You'd be impressed with the quality of their beef served at this pricing! I know it's a bit pricy for lunch but you should definitely give it a shot if you like beef. Just so good! I don't …

Butabumi

Photo: http://www.butagumi.com/nishiazabu/ Makes you feel like you are ivited to a traditional Japanse household for a meal. Get a sense of what the traditinoal Japanese houses were like. Pretty cozy place though not spacious. Serves good …

Shonzui

Photos from TOKYO CALENDAR Place for great aged beef. Even the French fries that come with it are good. Small place but comfortable to come for a date or a good meal with friends/colleagues. Pricing is the only reservation. Wines here are …
