YAKINIKUMAFIA IKEBUKURO by WAGYUMAFIA

I was trying to look for an enjoyable atmosphere with top quality yakiniku kind of food I Tokyo. Stumbled upon Yakinikumafia Ikebukuro. Love the atmosphere, quality food and ESPECIALLY having the opportunity to meet Sena san. He has made our meal fun and enjoyable! Thank you so so much Sena san and team!

Great Meat and Endless Drinks at 牛の達 Private I had a really good dinner here. It started with a small dish of fresh seafood and soft wagyu jelly with crunchy pickles. On top there was a little uni that gave a nice ocean taste. Simple but very tasty. The beef was the best part. Each piece had beautiful fat and cooked quickly on the grill at the table. Every bite was soft and full of flavor. I also chose the drink plan. The staff kept bringing shochu and ginger highballs without stopping. The place felt calm but fun. You can take your time, cook the meat how you like, and enjoy drinks with friends. If you want good yakiniku and a night that feels easy and relaxed, this restaurant is a great choice

​Dining at this restaurant was a truly unforgettable experience. The quality of the meat was exceptional, especially the beautiful platter of Wagyu beef with its incredible marbling. Each cut, from the Top Blade to the Clod Heart, was tender and flavorful. The variety of cuts provided a fantastic journey through different textures and tastes. ​Beyond the star of the show, the other dishes were equally impressive. The beautifully presented appetizer, with its delicate layers of seafood and caviar, was a perfect start to the meal. The different cuts of beef tongue, served on a marble slab, were cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. This place is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates high-quality meat and an expertly crafted dining experience.

TOURIST SCAM!!! ok - first is first, this is a tourist scam, I don’t suggest anybody who travels with a budget to make the same mistake to eat here. If you don’t mind what you pay for what you eat and where you eat, if you like to eat like in a social media video, then you go and enjoy the atmosphere and dinner. I found this resto from google maps by relying on other comments. We are a family traveling with a budget (I don’t mean a tiny budget). We like to travel and enjoy things, but it doesn’t mean we have money to waste. My son was looking forward to try wagyu beef, so we aimed 1 night nice dinner during our holidays, which was this place. I didn’t have any idea about the cost of wagyu or anything, so I couldn’t wake up from the scam. For a sharing course, price was 80k Yen, which makes around 500 euros! She advised to share this course for 3 of us, per person menu was 25k Yen. Both are ridiculously expensive. I noticed that when we decided to order an additional set of meat (because at the end it was like a tasting experience not even a proper dinner with full size meat), which was 8500 Yen. It is the time I noticed the SCAM! For a Michelin restaurant experience in Europe, you don’t even pay this price! From the entrance, they treat you like you are in a TikTok show. Everything is exaggerated, they ask you to take videos while they do their show. I understand this is what some people want, but not regular people like us who want to enjoy a nice family dinner!!!! The days after this dinner, we checked the prices on the windows of other restaurants, and yes this is a SCAM which wasted half of our dinner budget for all holiday. If I knew how to make a complaint to tourism department or so, I would definitely do it. I will add picture of the menu and the bill so you can see the prices.

Our experience of trying Tokyo Wagyu Yakiniku was extra ordinaryly good specially with Bonica who served and explained the course meal well... Will definely come back again with friends next time. We will spread the really high quality of wagyu they have and serve. Thank you very much! The price is really worth the meal.

This is such an amazing experience. My 6 years old daughter and I arrived quite late at 10pm and we were the only table left as the restaurant closes at 11pm. Despite the long day, Sena, Bonica and Kyo are so professional and welcoming. Food is delicious and services are excellent. Will definitely come again!

We came here to celebrate a graduation. Everybody was so welcoming, the food was amazing, and it was an amazing experience overall. Our host Ryo was so friendly and very talkative with us. We will definitely visit again next time we are in Tokyo! Thank you for the experience!

Everything about this place was really special - it combines food you’d get in a fine dining place with the atmosphere of a fun dinner with some of your old friends 🤩 Bonica and the rest of the team were the most amazing hosts and the wagyu was excellent 🫶🏻
