Kogiro — Restaurant in Tokyo

The meat quality is good and the way they’re always looking around for empty plates was also good. Before we eat, they explained to us about not being able to order from the QR code menu when the time is at last 30 mins and we said we understand but they didn’t come inform us about the time or asked us what we want to order before the 30mins. They just come to us with the check and just closed the QR code menu. My friend couldn’t ask for water. When I asked the guy from the register about it when I was paying the bills, he’s like we already explained we won’t inform you at the start and the way he said it is like he’s not talking to a customer. I’m not trying to be a high horse or anything but he need to mind his tone. They only explained about the last 30 mins rule, they didn’t say anything about the fact that they will not be informing the time. Every buffet informed the customers about the last 30 mins or 15mins. That’s common courtesy for every buffet. The price is 4950¥ for each person so that services is a must. If you have time to bring the check, you have time to tell us about the last order. Don’t just bring the check and shut down the menu. That one guy from the register need to be careful with the way he speak to the customers. He might also be the one who takes my reservations, on the phone was also rude also but I let it slide at the time because he might not be able to speak clearly because of the noises inside the restaurant. The other waiters and chefs in the kitchen handled their duties...

Lunch on Saturday 2025/2/11

Paid ¥3300 total for all-you-can/eat KBBQ course and all-you-can-drink soft drink option.

Food quality was excellent and the variety of buffet options was more than I expected! ¥3300/person isn't cheap per se but felt very reasonable for all the options available, especially compared to similarly priced restaurants nearby.

My only complaint is that the 90-minute allotted time is actually quite short. You only get 60 minutes to order the nicer dishes (stews, pancakes, marinated crab, noodles, etc) from the QR code and they don't come out that fast. There's a ¥500 penalty charge for leftover uneaten food so my friend and I tried to be cautious with ordering, but since it took so long, we didn't feel as if we got to order as many options as we would've liked. In the final 30 minutes, you still have access to the grilled meat/kimchi/pickles fridge.

All in all would recommend, just...

I have been living in Japan for two years and have worked in several restaurants, but the service at this place was really bad. The foreign staff couldn’t speak Japanese at all. When bringing food to the table, they never said the name of the dish or anything. When I asked about my order, the staff member didn’t say a word. Then, 10 minutes later, he brought my dish and just threw it on the table. On top of that, the meat was way too tough, that korean foods actually not authentic even tho that place is forean town .This is the worst Korean restaurant I have...
