Tonchan Shinjuku — Restaurant in Tokyo

사장님 너무 맛있게 잘먹었습니다. 된장찌개 얼큰하니 좋았습니다. 가격도 너무 착하고 오랜만에 한국간 느낌 이였습니다. 개인적으로 몇년전 한국 방문때 먹은 삼겹살보다 더 맛있게 먹었습니다. 감사합니다!

If you're craving authentic Korean BBQ in the heart of Shinjuku, look no further than Tonchan,a cozy gem run by a warm and friendly Korean lady with the help of two laid-back yet professional gentlemen. From the moment I stepped in, I felt right at home, and that feeling only grew stronger as the meal unfolded.

I ordered the pork belly (삼겹살), kimchi-jeon, and soybean paste soup (된장찌개). Each dish was impeccable, and I must say, the quality of the food here rivals—and perhaps even surpasses—what you'd find in Korea. It’s been a while since I last visited Korea, but Tonchan brought back the flavors I missed, with an extra touch of excellence.

The pork belly was perfectly cooked, juicy and tender. One of the highlights of the experience was how the staff expertly grilled the meat for us at the table. They clearly know their craft, ensuring each piece was cooked to perfection, allowing us to savor the authentic taste without any stress.

The kimchi-jeon was crispy yet soft in the middle, packed with just the right balance of tangy and savory flavors. And the soybean paste soup? A comforting bowl of rich, deep flavors that made me feel like I was dining in a homestyle kitchen in Korea.

I walked away fully satisfied, not only with the exceptional food but also with the warm, attentive service. I’m already looking forward to my next visit. If you’re in Shinjuku and want a taste of Korea, Tonchan should be at the top...

For 3 persons we spent 6000 plus yen due to additional table charge per person and above average price for the rice. There is also extra tax charged and the soup bowl is smaller than expected compared to the picture. Overall we under estimated the cost of dining here. Better to eat at main restos on the main roads if you will be...

The place is quite small but i did not feel restricted. The samgyeopsal set was amazing, large portions of meat and vegetables on the side. The drinks were great too, especially the apple sour and the pineapple mango yan. Only problem was the sitting charge that came out of nowhere, but at least the...
