The place is small and only has high chairs making the seating not ideal for families with children. There is a take-out option which is convenient during this time of the coronavirus pandemic. The steak I ordered was a 20 day aged Japanese Sirloin steak 300g and my wife ordered the 300g Ribeye center cut. Both steaks were cooked medium rare and had about 100g worth of fat. It was served sizzling hot on a hot cast iron plate like most teppanyaki style restaurants, but the condiment/sauce options were more diverse. We ordered a hamburg steak for my son, the plate was a little too hot as it cooked the hamburg steak very causing it to be dry and hardened on the outside. My real issue, however, was the high chairs. It was too high for not only my son but also for my wife and me. I don't know if it's just me being an American and acting like spoiled baka-gaijin but I'm used to eating steaks sitting down comfortably without the struggle of sitting upright the whole time.

This is a small steak shop that seats about maybe 20 people and a popular lunch spot. The seats are pretty tight and you sit at a counter top, but worth the tight squeeze.

The lunch set comes with rice, salad, and soup. For the price I paid, I was full and it is well worth it. I got a combo which came with 150g hambagu and 100g steak and it was about ¥1300.
Will come again and worth checking out if you...
Read moreSuper busy ikinari steak place as usual (it is a chain restaurant). Considering it is on blue street it is pretty packed during the high traffic times. I rated three stars because they may have places to eat for a person but it is standing only.... I'm sure no one wants to stand awkwardly eating a steak. When it is not busy they want you go to the back and they want you to order your steak there which is kind of difficult when you don't speak much japanese so just bring a menu or something and try your best communicating. They have a unisex bathroom upstairs. During rush hour times there is a line outside. I do like the steaks and you can order wine here. I believe they...
