Satou Kichijoji Steak House

Great steak spot above a butcher shop. We had the 150g steak lunch set and it was very filling. The meat quality was excellent and cooked really well, and the salad served before the main was fresh and refreshing. The place is on the smaller side, but service is quick. It can get quite busy during peak hours.

Come here and try matsuzaka wagyu done teppanyaki style. Every course here is prepared well and is extremely delicious. Beef is so fresh because Satou owns a butchery just downstairs. Reservations a must. Beef of this quality is very pricey so I recommend coming at lunch where the menu prices are slightly cheaper.

The staircase is narrow, so be careful if you have mobility issues. You can watch the food being prepared, which is a nice touch. Tried the Wagyu set — truly excellent, very high quality.

Amazing and cozy steak place close to the Kichijoji station. A must try if you are in the area.

Good quality Japanese steak house. Fresh cooked and you can enjoy watching your food preparation. Seating area are small and located on second floor. You have to climb to the restaurant so if you cannot move well please be careful. Ventilation is not quite good so you may got some grilled smell after your meal. English menu and communication with staffs are ok. Credit card is ok.

I've been back several times over about 5 years. The food is consistently of good quality. The restaurant focuses very strongly on the steak quality and it shows. There are no fancy culinary innvoations, just a good quality fut of meat and is sensitively cooked in salt and pepper. There are two sauces to accompany it, but that's it. Typically Japanese style, the steak is served with white rice. Tasty and perfectly done.

The beef is so juicy and delicious. The spice is tend to be on the mild side, so.it taste light.

10/10 2nd time I came here and the steaks are just as good. The premium cuts are more fatty but regular Wagyu are pretty good too. 150g is enough for 1 for the lunch portion but definitely come a bit before they open as there'll be a line and you'll be waiting around 30minutes to an hour.

Beef is highly marbled and cooked to perfection, with a set of salad, miso soup, and all you can eat rice. Can go low end (3K yen for 150gr) to high end (160K yen for 200gr). We opted for a combo of low / mid / high. Definitely can tell the difference but all were great (especially with the exchange rates with USD). The highest quality one just melts in your mouth - some of the best beef out there. Great atmosphere, fast / friendly service. Only qualm is that there isn't any draft beer (bottle only). One of my favorites whenever i visit Tokyo!

Satou Kichijoji is located in the corner of cross street and you would see the store from faraway since the line is always long. We ordered their top 1 meatball made of Wagyu beef mixed with chopped onion and the wait wasn't bad about 10 minutes. Satou Kichijoji is also a butcher shop and they are proud of their high quality of meat. The meatball was juicy, the onion inside was sweet but overall it was kind of greasy. My husband and I prefer the fried meatball in Asakusa.

OMG that was the best croquette we ever had! We're still talking about how meaty and juicy it was! That was one of the best things we had on our last trip to Japan. It was so good, we devoured it on the street like the foreign savages that we are. Haha! We also ate in the restaurant upstairs. Note, this is not an ADA friendly place, but there are many in Japan. The stairway is steep and dark, with tall stairs so you almost feel like you're climbing a ladder more than a staircase. But the beefy, fatty goodness at the top is worth the effort! We chose to try the special steak of the day, a top of the line A5 steak, as well as a cheaper cut of steak. All steaks came with a small salad, miso soup, rice, and stir fried bean sprouts. Of course, we started off with the least to best cuts of meat. The cheapest steak was a little chewy (by which I mean you actually had to chew), but very tasty and still had a decent amount of marbling. But when you're comparing it to the super-marbled cut of Wagyu that melts in your mouth like BUTTAH, there's no comparison! Thank goodness we didn't have to climb the stairs on the way out, or I may have had a coronary! The best thing about visiting Japan is that you can indulge all of your foodie adventures and yet lose weight because you have to walk around so much! I can't wait to go back again!

Sigh the one downside of eating here is that I can never eat steak anywhere else. Matsusaka beef (competitor of Kobe but more popular amongst locals for good reason) is the creme de la creme and puts all other steak (especially anything we can get in the States) to shame. The meat is so beautifully marbled and when grilled to medium rare perfection, it melts in your mouth. Lightly seasoned with some salt and Japanese pepper, the taste will have you rocketing to the steak heavens. Also loved how the steak comes with local mushrooms, greens and bean sprouts- none of that creamed spinach and baked potato nonsense that you need to pay extra for in NYC. A few notes- they only take cash!! So come prepared with the JPY. Plenty of banks and ATMs nearby to withdraw cash though. This location is significantly cheaper than the Tokyo location and there are a lot of fun eats near Satou- so it's worth a trip out here. The JR trains are a little confusing (only the local train stops at this town) but once you're at the station, it's less than a 5 minute walk. You need to ascend a steep set of stairs to get to the restaurant, so those who are less mobile be prepared. Make reservations ahead of time- this location only seats about 12 ppl.

We did not eat at the restaurant upstairs (which is also super popular). We waited in line with a bunch of locals and tourists to get the fried beef croquettes which were amazing! These are the best beef croquettes I have ever had. They are super crispy but yet not oily and its sooooo juicy and flavorful. Recommend when in the area.

Omg. Let me say it again. Omg!!! This place is seriously the Mazerati of steak houses, it is the Michael Jordan Kone Bryant Lebron James of steak houses, it is the Hermes bag of steakhouses for the women that know that handbag. Ultimately it is the greatest steak house I've ever eaten at and I grew up in Las Vegas eating some of the best of the best food. This the Holy Grail of steaks. If your a bleeding heart Vegetarian/Vegan discontinue reading. This place will make you mad. Let me start by saying we got super lucky that it wasn't busy that day. There were barely any people up stairs and there was no wait. We were here on a non peak season. THE FOOD: My wife and I decided to share two meals since we didn't want to break the bank. She got the 10,000 Yen high end Filet steak. (About $85.00 usd). I got the 40,000 Yen Sirloin steak combo meal. Kinda odd since they both came out with the same sides haha. But it's the steak that makes all the difference. But you can definitely tell the difference between the two steaks. The filet is rated A5, the highest rating you can get to on a steak globally. The filet was SUPER BREATHTAKING AND AMAZINGLY GOOD. IT MAKES THE STEAK WHERE I WORK (Ruths Chris Steak House) TASTE LIKE OUTBACK LEVEL LOL. WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW TENDER, MOIST, FLAVORFUL AND JUST DOWNRIGHT PHENOMENAL HOW WELL THIS STEAK TASTES. IT'LL CHANGE YOUR LIFE! The Sirloin I had was also superb. Very high end and quality but a tad more fat. But still delicious and high quality. Can't go wrong with this one. The Beef they use here is Matsusaka Gyu. It is Kobe Beef's competition. Our Japanese host told us that Kobe is definitely more popular and known but Matsusaka is less known among foreigners but more known among locals and preferred among the locals. Kobe is more wide known globally like McDonald's and Nike to where Matsusaka is like your local amazing mom and pop shop that is local and limited and that only the locals will know about. Matsusaka Beef is grown in a small particular region and only in that region. They let the cows listen to classical music, massage the cows and feed them special food. That is what Wagyu is. ( I know the vegetarian/vegan community that abstains from meat because of concerns for the cows will hate this place.) Sorry. But we love it!!!!! THE SERVICE: Exceptional. Server was also on point. The toilet is even amazing! The toilet seat comes up as you open the door haha. You can drop some big money here very quick but we think it's so worth it, especially if you are on vacation. Might as well go for it. Believe me I know steaks and I say this particular steak house is top 3 in the world of the 50 plus countries I have traveled to.

Read a book called Is Kichijoji the Only Place to Live? The Shigeta twins complain about the changes the area is going through, but still believes that Kichijoji is the coolest place to live in Japan. Suburb of Tokyo, lower living cost but abundant in everything. Ghibli museum is close by, etc. Points all scored When you wander around this town, you will NOT miss this place because the locals line up to get fresh meat to bring home to cook for their fam. Upstairs is a teppanyaki restaurant. The stairway is SUPER steep. You afraid you may just close your eyes and climb. Order chef's special and you won't regret I will revisit if I go to Tokyo area

OMG. Best. Steak. EVER!!! You MUST come here when visiting Tokyo. A5 wagyu for 10,000yen (Approximately $85) for the softest, juiciest steak you'll ever have. It would cost $120 to eat that at Alexander's steakhouse, so definitely visit! It's even accessible through JR rail! Warning though, it is very difficult to find. The address does not match with the yelp address, you'll have to use your Japanese speaking skills to ask around. I wasn't even a steak person until I had this. Best meal in Japan.

Oh yes. To Do: Make sure you make time for this, even if you don't have time! hahah. Get here right before or right at opening, so you don't have such a long wait time. Or if you're waiting, get the beef balls downstairs while you're waiting :D Make sure you get the 10,000 yen meal. Eat. Don't use the dipping sauce. I'm not sure why it's there, but it seriously overpowers the taste of the meat. Maybe use it for the veggies and rice, but definitely not the meat. The beef is Matsusaka cows, which was featured on Steak Revolution (I believe #3 on their list). The cows are a black haired wagyu, with beautiful marbling and they show you the steak before they grill it, teppanyaki style. Service is prompt and courteous. They will explain the meal to you if you have any questions. I believe seating is for 20 people. Cash Only.

On our recent trip to Japan, our friends highly recommended us to try Matsusaka Beef and they also recommended Satou Kichijoji for the steak! We were in Kobe and we had two rounds of Kobe beef steak just a few days prior to our visit to Satou so it was still quite fresh in our mind the Kobe beef yumminess. Matsusaka beef is Kobe beef's competitor and some people might prefer Matsusaka than the more-famous-well-known Kobe beef. We went there on a Tuesday evening, the location was not really hard to find if you have internet and GPS!!!!! When you exit the station, goes towards the shopping arcades..yes, it's located in the "covered" shopping mall but not far from the Chuo line Kichijoji station. When we got there, there were a line of about 6 people, the waiter told us, the wait would be about 15 minutes. I'm giving 5 stars for service....I asked them to show me where the ATM was and one of the them actually WALKED me to 7Eleven and even waited until I finished getting money and walked me back to the restaurant!!!! omg, soooo nice!!! There were only enough seating for probably 6 people by the grill... the rest of the tables are just regular table, no grill. We got seated in the regular table.. no biggie but it just would have been nice if we could watch the chef cooked. This is NOT why I'm giving a 3 stars... The 3 stars is really merely the steak... sorry! There were two of us and we each ordered the famous 10,000 yen matsusaka beef steak dinner set. We also ordered (ala carte) the CHEAPEST steak they had on the menu so that we could compared the qualify of the meat. The cheap steak was not cheap.. it was about 2000 yen I think and it was chewy, not good. Even other steak that we had in Japan in which we paid less than 2000 yen for was a lot more tender than this one. They showed us the fame matsusaka beef steak before they went ahead and cooked them...the marbling looked a bit different than Kobe but the meat looked really good. Now, we tried the matsusaka steak without the sauce and we were dissapointed. It didn't taste any different than USDA prime beef that certainly would have cost us 1/5 to 1/3 of the price we paid. We also tried it with the dipping sauce that they provide..it was just ok.. it just helped with the flavor but it cannot save the taste of the meat itself. Keep in mind that a good steak, should not need any sauce.. salt and pepper should be enough. We purchased a few packs of the curry that they sold though (made with matsusaka beef), as souvenirs... we have not tried it yet. We were glad we went to eat here, just to experience it, the service was great, but the we certainly would eat Kobe beef instead the next time around. PS: the restaurant is tiny....

Recently my wife and I were in Japan in search of a really good steak restaurant that would highlight our vacation and we came across Steak House Sato during our research online and on yelp. We were lucky that we had a portable Wifi which helped us locate the restaurant using google maps as well as photos from yelp to help us identify the restaurant which is actually on the second floor up a steep and super narrow flight of stairs. The restaurant is tiny and looked like it could probably only accommodate less than 10-12 people. At first we were seated at a table but we requested to have it changed to the seats around the grill (4 seats) so that we could see all the action up close and personal. Since we were looking for the best steak available we opted for the Takumi recommended stock beef steak from the famed rival of Kobe, the Matsusaka beef steak. This beef is considered one of the highest grades of beef available in Japan and is supremely marbled as my picture will show. The beef is also known as Kuroge Washu or "Japanese Black," which comes from the Matsusaka region of Mie, Japan. The meal was 10,000 Yen or around $100 for 200 gram High Grade Kuroge Sirloin Wagyu steak, which was the most expensive thing on the menu. Since it was lunch time my wife opted for the 4,000 Yen Chef's special which came with 120 gram Kuroge, Wagyu so that we could try both steaks. Both meals came with a salad but the higher priced meal came with a salad that looked a little fancier visually. Both meals came with the usual rice and miso soup as well house special vegetable/fruit sauce for your steak if you feel necessary. The steaks are all cooked medium rare unless requested otherwise and simply seasoned with Himalayan pink salt and Kyoto "Hararyokaku," seven spice. The steak melts in your mouth and makes you question all the best steaks you have ever had in your life. By far the Matsusaka beef is quality fit for a king. Every bite was followed by an eruption of euphoric flavors flooding your body and soul. Even as I write this review I can remember the state of bliss that I was in during this meal. Even though the steak was only 200 grams the meal was worth every Yen. The service was superb and they have an English menu if you ask for it. Overall this was one of the best meals I have ever had in Japan. This beats the Kobe Steak I had in Kobe on my last trip. Don't forget to go downstairs after your meal to pick up a Matsusaka Menchi (beef ball). The Katsu comes out hot so be prepared for an explosion of flavor on an epic proportion. Make sure you bring cash and make sure you take some photos, so your friends can be jealous.

During my trip to Japan last year. It was breakfast time and I was craving a steak after a few days of grubbin mainly on ramen and sushi (day and night) My friend suggested I try this place located near the Shinjuku district. Here is the low down, for 10,000 yen ($85), you will get the best friggin steak you will ever eat!!! *mind blown* A5 Waygu that literally just melts in your mouth!! I've had Waygu here in the states, but it was usually a small portion and super pricey. You can't beat the price and the portion on quality of steaks they offer. This spot is crazy small, so get here early cuz the line will form within the hour once they open. Be careful as the resturant is located upstairs from their meat market downstairs. The stairway that takes you up is where the line forms and its literally steep as a latter. Service was excellent, but in Japan that's the norm based on my observation. No matter if you go to a steak house, fancy or hole in the wall sushi spot, or a yoshinoya, you will get type of customer service (honor and respect all around). For those who will be visiting Tokyo anytime soon, make sure you bookmark and give this place a try. You won't regret it....

I HAVE DIED AND GONE TO BEEF HEAVEN!!! This is the BEST STEAK OF MY LIFE!! It's located right above the shop selling Katsu and other yummy fried meat foods! The place selling those fried goodies has a pretty long line (I mistakenly got in that line thinking I was waiting for the steakhouse) The line for the steakhouse is right next to the katsu place with a steep staircase! There's even a small poster near the door of the restaurant naming it the 3rd best steakhouse in the world!!! We went right at 10:15AM and were the first in line on Sunday waiting for the doors to open at 11AM A line quickly formed the closer it got to 11AM The space inside is small so if you don't get in right away I could see how the wait would take a while. The chefs cook on a grill right in front of everyone! The servers also show you the cuts of meat before cooking to ensure you are satisfied with your meal! We ordered: SIRLOIN STEAK - DELICIOUS - perfectly juicy and it just melts in your mouth - NEVER HAVE I EVER HAD SUCH GREAT STEAK OIL TAKI - Beef brisket cooked on the grill - very good, a good dish to try if you don't want to order another whole steak plate but want some variety FILET STEAK - THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST - I wanted to cry the moment I took a bite but refrained so my tears wouldn't ruin this perfect steak All the meat dishes we got came with bean sprouts, green beans, carrots, and garlic chips as well as bowls of white rice I really like how this steak doesn't make you feel gross or oily after eating! You feel fresh because of the way the meat is cooked and the side dishes accompanying the meat! I WISH THIS WAS CLOSER TO ME But I'm glad I got to try this during my time in Tokyo! I strongly recommend coming here if you have the chance!

Ohmahgawd so good! We heard this place served Matsusaka steaks and we wanted to try it. My boyfriend and I wanted to try a premium steak while in Japan for the first time and this place came up as one of the top ten choices on Yelp. I noticed it was located near Kichijoji station which was perfect because we have plans to go to The Studio Ghibli museum 15 mins away walking distance. Now to the food - my boyfriend got the premium steak for 10000 yen and I got the lunch chef special for 4000 yen to compare (we usually share our meals). Both steaks were AMAZING! You can definitely tell the premium was fattier and richer in flavor. The pieces definitely melts in your mouth. The chef seasoned with just salt and pepper and it was sooooooo perfect! No dipping sauce needed which they provided to every guest. The sauces were tasty tho. The slices of fat crisps were also delish!!! The chef special was a great price for the quality. It was also delicious without any additional sauces. I believe the chef said both our steaks were Matsusaka beef. Meals come salad and miso soup as well. Service - Amazing and attentive! It's a small restaurant. They seat about 6 people at the bar and have two small tables for about 4 people each. We sat at the bar so we can watch our steaks be cooked in front of us. CASH ONLY!!! This surprised me since it's a steak restaurant with prices up to 12000 yen. They don't expect people to carry that much money around do they? We also got some menchi katsu balls before the restaurant opened since there's a deli underneath the restaurant (I think they're affiliated with each other). They were tasty for 220 yen and perfectly fried. I wouldn't go out of my way for them but there was a huge line. Since the restaurant didn't open till 11am I thought this was a great breakfast appetizer. Also there was no wait restaurant until closer to opening time and we were first. Great experience and great food. Highly recommend this place!!!

This place always has a line for the menchi katsu and other take home items on the ground floor. However, upstairs there is a tiny tree-house like restaurant cooking up some high quality Japanese beef. Go during lunch because the prices are way cheaper. You can get a nice set from anywhere between 1500 to 3500 yen. They cook the beef right there on the flat top and you get a great meal with some melt-in-your mouth beef!

Steak House Satou has been famed for its Matsuzaka beef. Tender and marblized meat. It wouldn't be uncommon to find it listed in a travel guide and written about in reviews. I've had the privilege to dine here three times, last month being my most recent return. Located in a cute bicycle town of Kichijoji-Honcho, there is a huge electronics store (cooler than the one in the vibrant town of Akihabara) and many inexpensive eats and shops. Kichijoji is one of my favorite towns in Tokyo and one not to miss! Considered one of the top steaks that you can have in the world. This fatty marbleized delight does not require for you to spend $300- $500 for 10oz. Satou has two floors, The small restaurant is up a narrow set of stairs and on the 2F, while the 1F is a butcher shop.As early as 8AM you will see a long line forming for the coveted and inexpensive Matsuzaka menchi katsu croquettes, limited to 100 per day. At 180Y a piece is worth the wait or after 10am you can get it for 200Y each. ( I went after eating at the steak house and was able to grab two within a ten minutes) - Taste is juicy with a heavy onion flavor Heading up the stairs, please keep in mind they do not take reservations and you may need to wait up those tiny narrow stairs so try not to wear a thick jacket. There are offerings of mini kobe lunch set sliced (limited in quantity, daily). Specials ranging from approximately 1000Y - 10,000Y. Meal sets are served with soup and salad. If you do decide to order the A5, the chef will personally grab your steak and show you before preparing it. Last summer, my Matsuzaka sirloin A5 grade beef 10 oz steak was US $80. I always order one premium 10,000 Y steak and the special of the day to share, this time for 2,500Y I received a delicious steak cut and free curry gift to eat later. What you need to know: The inexpensive sets are not matsuzaka. Only beef is served No seafood or vegetarian menu Come when they open and there is no line. The steps are very slim and narrow/ Not handicap friendly No English menu If you are sitting at the cooking area there will be a basket for you to drop your purse/bag Small and can house no more than 16 people with a tight squeeze Location: Steakhouse Satou 1-1-8 Kichijoji-Honcho, Musashino-shi, Tokyo. Meat Shop: 09:00 am - 08:00 pm Steakhouse Hours: Lunch: 11:00 am - 03:00 pm; Dinner: 05:00 pm - 09:00 pm How to get there? : From Central Exit of Kichijoji Station, walk across Heiwa-dori. Turn left onto Daiya-gai,located right before Sun Road's arcade. Satou is located at the block's corner on the left side. Make sure you stop by the 100Y store before heading back to town.

This was the highlight of my culinary experiences while in Japan. The steak I preserved was the 10,000 yen special during lunch. The steak was on a whole different level than what I've eaten before and I've had a lot in my life. I made sure to savor every single bite as it seemed to melt in my mouth. The sauces made the experience better. Never spent that much in my whole life for a meal, but loved every second of it. Miso soup was great as well as he salad before the main course.

We made reservations for dinner for what we thought was 8pm and turned up only to find out our actual reso time was 7pm, and instead, we had showed up at closing time like a TOTAL DINGUS. *facepalm* Despite our tardiness, the staff were super nice about it, and literally stayed open just for us. We apologized profusely, and quickly picked the 10,000 yen meal. No ragrets! We ate those tender, juicy steak cubes super quickly - and although it was over in the blink of an eye, it plays like a slow-motion romance scene in my head. Mmm...so good.

OMG! BEST STEAK EVER!! If you love steak, you must make the trek out to Kichijoji for Satou steakhouse! They serve the delicious Matsusaka steaks (which the locals prefer over Kobe beef). The beef is literally melt in your mouth. The lunch menu is different from the dinner menu. We went for lunch and ordered the 10,000 yen meal. You can choose between a 160g A4 Matsusaka ribeye or 120g A4 Matsusaka filet mignon. The ribeye has more fat marbling and gives a more fatty melt-in-your mouth taste and flavor. The filet has let fat marbling compared to the ribeye (but still pretty fatty when you look at it) and provides a more meat flavor when you eat it (it's still melt-in-your-mouth). You can choose depending on whether you like a heavier fat flavor or a heavier meat flavor. The lunch set includes a salad, soup, side veggie stir fry, rice, and of course some perfectly grilled meat! We got a seat at the counter and got to watch the chef cook our meal. The place is quite small, and located upstairs. Downstairs is their own butcher shop, which has a snaking line of locals buying meat to take home. (And visit the taiyaki place next door for some dessert afterwards! They have several different fillings, and they definitely don't skimp compared to other places.)

Delicious! Chef's special was amazing. Meat is pre cut you get a starter salad with amazing sauces. Rice and miso soup accompany your main dish.

Love their steak so much I'll always eat here when I come back to Japan! The juicy steak is so soft and it melts in your mouth. Love the simple taste of steak!

The best mince beef croquet I've ever had. So crispy on the outside but SOOO juicy and tender on the inside. Just get 5 and get the special price of 200¥ each!! A must, if you're on the way to studio ghibli!!

I came back two days in a row. Yes, it was that good. Day 1: We had the A5 wagyu filet (10,000 yen) and the sliced beef dish (1200 yen). The A5 was mindblowing and definitely worth it if you're not planning to come back to Japan frequently (it's worth it even if you are planning to come back frequently). The sliced beef dish was quite delectable and they have a sign that says there are only 10 servings available daily, so line up early if you want to be one of the 10 (I was first in line both days). Day 2: We had the ~2000 yen cut and the sliced beef dish again. The cut was delicious but a humongous difference from the A5 wagyu. Bottom line is: get the A5 wagyu, in case you didn't get the message before, it was amazing and I have never tasted meat that melts in your mouth so easily! TIP: come early because the line can get long after 12pm or so. Not always, but you'll be risking it not coming right when it opens.

After an afternoon of shopping, we found ourselves walking down a street when the delicious aroma of fried found filled the air (any fat person will know what I'm talking about). Just look for the line in the middle of the road and treat yourself to some freshly fried 'mench' katsu. Ground beef with sweet onions packed into a ball, covered in panko and fried to perfection. Crisp on the outside and juicy goodness on the inside. These things are crazy oishii! The short wait, whatever it is is well worth it. This area is filled with delicious foods and this one is most definitely ranking towards the top. They also fry other items but the mench katsu is all you need.

i've had cuts of beef all over the world, but the beef they serve up here is beyond insane. matsusaka beef is grade A5, meaning its top of the line...truly the Bentley of beef. when speaking with the owner of this tiny teppanyaki style steakhouse, he literally scoffed when i asked him how the matsusaka beef compared to Kobe beef...it doesnt compare apparently. the meal consisted of just one side salad, a bowl of miso soup, a bowl of rice, and one incredible piece of steak... cut thru it like a knife goes thru warm butter... melts in your mouth, but doesnt leave an oily sensation... sensational piece of steak. the cost of the meal is 10000 japanese yen, or rougly a 100 bucks in US dollars...well worth it for all 7 people that we had dinner with there. the place doesnt take reservations, and closes early at 830pm...usually they dont take parties more than 4...the entire place only seats 16 so if youre a tourist in town and are staying at a hotel, make sure yoh ask your concierge to call for u and ask them to accommodate your party and they will definitely do so... amazing steak!!!

OMG you can really get the best steak here for just 10K yen! We had a much smaller (1/5 of the size of the one we had here) piece and lower grade steak from Japan in the US before. And it cost us $70! My husband said we need to come here in every future visit to Japan.

My best meal in Japan. The kobe beef just melts in your mouth, no chewing require. Tiny restaurant, we got space on the counter with frontal view of the chef. Long line, so go early. Restaunt is upstairs downstairs is the butcher shop. Simply cooked but that's all you need for very good beef. Yummmm

We actually didn't get to eat at the restaurant. Got there a little late and ten line was all the way down the stairs. However, wait in the line for the menchi katsu. They are so so delicious. Best fried meatball. EVER. Love Japanese beef. The meatballs are fist size and fried with Panko. Had lots of juicy ground beef and onions. This was the only time my kids will eat onions. So good they are all of the ones I bought.

Very nice tender steak! Good flavor and cooked to perfection ! Very small restaurant but nice atmosphere and good service. The only bad point was that the steak servings were very small and it was a bit expensive for just a few hundred grams of steak. But the meat was good quality and delicious!

Originally going to try kobe but glad we didn't. The steak was phenomenal! Mouth watering and tender filet. Rich rich sirloin. Both great in their own means! Perfect seasoning and great portion. Make sure you get the 10,000 yen sirloin! Can't go wrong!

My aunt has me grab some menchi-katsu and corrokke every time I go to Kichijoji. There is always a line and during prime time, you can wait over an hour. I think it's worth it. Inexpensive and delicious. The menchi katsu is juicy and the corrokke has ground beef inside. They also have chasui and niku dango.
