Not your usual yakiniku. The course menu lets you taste wagyu in different forms, like a stew and a beef tail soup, plus different cuts such as tongue. The meat quality was great, every course was delicious, and the staff were very friendly. It is right next to Omotesando Station (Exit B3), so it is very easy to find.

Incredible food. It was slightly difficult to find in basement of building and it’s an extremely…extremely busy area. We aimed to arrive 15 minutes early and drive that was supposed to be 20 minutes took 45. They were very kind and still allowed us to enjoy meal. Chef and team were incredible and each course prepared to perfection. Highly recommend Ajuta.

This was our second visit with Nishiazabu Kamikura. It was a superb dining experience with a star sushi chef and staff! We will definitely return on our next visit to Tokyo.

Our experience at YAKINIKUMAFIA IKEBURO was fantastic, and the highlight was definitely the meat. The wagyu was incredibly tender and flavorful, and each cut had its own texture and taste. The show when they cut the meat was also very entertaining and fun!
I especially enjoyed experiencing the wagyu in different ways throughout the meal. The richness of the meat paired well with the other dishes, and every course felt carefully thought out.
The ramen at the end was a nice touch. The broth had a deep, rich flavor and was a satisfying way to finish the meal.
The staff were incredibly kind and energetic. Their enthusiasm made the atmosphere lively and fun while still feeling professional.
Overall, the high-quality wagyu, variety of flavors and textures, and great service made this a memorable experience. I would happily recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy Japanese wagyu in a fun and welcoming atmosphere.

Had dinner at Yakiniku Mafia Ikebukuro and really enjoyed it.
The meat was fantastic. I go to yakiniku places pretty often and like trying different grades of meat, and the quality here was definitely up there. Everything tasted great on its own, to the point where you really didn’t need any extra seasoning. Usually a good sign when the meat is that good.
I also really liked the seating. They have this huge counter that seats around 25 people, which is pretty unusual compared to the smaller 8-seat counters you often see in omakase places. It gives the whole place a lively, open atmosphere. There are also regular tables in the back if you’re coming with a group.
Next, the staff. Super high energy, very respectful, and they took the time to explain everything properly. You could tell they actually cared about how the food was presented and served.
We were a group of four, and if I had one small improvement, I probably would’ve liked just a little more meat. But with the veggies and the final “ramen” they cook using all the flavor from the meat, we all still left satisfied.
Easy 5 stars from me. Would definitely go back, which I don’t say quite often! Arigato!

"1: the food tasted great and the quality was amazing. Every ounce of care that could be put into the meal was there, and we really enjoyed our time.
2: the staff was great and I’m so surprised they could keep that energy throughout the whole time. On top of that, they were unbelievably kind, and I felt like they could have been my friends.
3: the restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was lively. Simply a fantastic balance of entertainment and professionalism."

I thought the presentation of the food was a bit basic, for the price. And meat of such good quality should be presented in a nicer way.
The meat was delicious, a good portion and very soft. We had various cuts (although it wasn’t explained what each cut was) the variety was good I felt.
The flavour was good, a good amount of fattiness, very soft and melt in the mouth.
I thought the meat was fresh and it wasn’t chewy at all. Just very soft and easy to eat.
I was not particular surprised by anything.
Probably some of the cuts of meat were really good, the melt in the mouth texture was excellent (can’t say exactly which cut as we didn’t know)
The presentation was far too basic, the silver plates felt a little cheap. But the box with the chopsticks was a nice touch.
The meat accompanied by vegetables was good, I think the vegetables refreshed the taste between bites of meat. The ramen was a surprise and the soup was salty without being too rich. Probably the best thing about the restaurant is the service. It was above many other places with a very lively atmosphere and the staff were very enthusiastic about their jobs which was great to see. They were attentive and the service was quick.

The restaurant has a beautiful, quiet entrance without being intimidating. When you think of omakase, it can feel quite strict and severe, but I felt comfortable to talk and interact with both the staff and my seatmates.
The staff fluently speaks Japanese and English, making the experience easy for both local and international customers. It was great to hear both the English and Japanese names and origins for the fish.
The sushi was incredibly tender, melt in your mouth, with subtle flavors and perfectly seasoned. It's difficult to choose an outstanding dish, as the quality was high. The chutoro and uni were my favorites. That said, the anago was a surprise hit! There were a lot of servings but it was just the right amount, so you won't feel too full to move after.
The post-meal tea ceremony in the special room was a great ender to the meal.

I had such a wonderful experience at Sushi Tanji!
Everything was delicious, but as a huge matcha lover, I especially loved that the experience ended with a traditional tea ceremony. It was such a beautiful and unexpected way to finish the omakase.
Even though I live in Tokyo, as a foreigner, I’m always happy to discover and experience more of Japanese culture, and this was such a special way to do so.
I also loved sharing the omakase experience with my friends. I think it would be such a lovely choice for a birthday, a girls’ night, a date night, or any special occasion.
The chef was incredibly kind and explained everything to us in both English and Japanese, which made the experience feel very welcoming and easy to enjoy.
Special mention to the anago (eel?) that was melting in our mouth, first time I eat something like that, it was exquisite!

Frequently Asked QuestionsHow can I reserve restaurants in Tokyo?
You can always reserve a seat at a restaurant in Tokyo by making a direct phone call to the restaurant itself. However, as not all staff speak English, this can often be very difficult due to the language barrier. In some cases, certain restaurants will allow reservations in English via their website. Although, when this is not the case, you can make a reservation via an online platform. There are many sites which are designed to help foreigners make restaurant reservations in Tokyo and greater Japan. ByFood is one such platform where you can go to book experiences and make reservations at restaurants in Japan. The platform allows you to filter restaurants in Japan by area, food, and other preferences, making it easy to choose a restaurant and make a reservation. All you have to do is select the restaurant in Tokyo where you’d like to place a reservation and add your reservation details. ByFood will make the reservation on your behalf and send you a confirmation email. In the event that the reservation fails, you will receive a failed reservation email.
Is a reservation required for all restaurants in Tokyo?
This depends on the restaurant. Casual restaurants and chain restaurants in Tokyo generally do not require a reservation, however if you are in a big group, it can be a good idea to place a reservation ahead. Premium and high-end restaurants tend to require reservations, especially those which are popular and are all booked 2 or 3 months in advance. It is not possible to reserve at some casual restaurants like diners or some izakayas.
What is the average cost of a meal at restaurants in Tokyo?
A meal at a regular restaurant in Tokyo will generally cost somewhere between ¥1,000 and ¥3,000 for a meal, depending on the restaurant. If you’re on a budget, keep in mind that options tend to be cheaper during lunchtime. Fine dining restaurants can start at around ¥4,000 per person and even cost more than ¥20,000 per meal.
