Yakiniku Dondon Shinjuku Kabukicho

Yakiniku over charcoal, you choose and cook your own meat here, Wide range of different meat and cuts while wagyu being most popular. Meat quality is good but cooking is down to yourselves. There are probably better ways to spend your money 💰 on your favourite cuts of 🥩 but it’s FUN and Fashionable in cold weather.Drinks weren’t served right, our highballs tasted like warm weak piss and service erratic at best.< Give a 👍if you find this useful 😀thanks!>

We were here on a short notice and couldent book any of the " real" wagyu restaurants, but this place worked just as well. Me and my wife went here at late night on an impulse and despite some waiting time there was no regrets. incredibly tender and flavourfull meat just melting in your mouth. You wont be dissapointed if you go here and eat their wagyu. Keep in mind this is a popular restaurant and you may have to wait 30-60 min for a seat.

We made our reservation using Google map "reserve a table" button. I got a confirmation email. When we arrived, a table at the back of the restaurant was reserved for us. The reservation works! We ordered the Wagyu assorted set, ox tongue, pork belly set. The Wagyu was good but not amazing. The ox tongue and pork belly were good. We wanted something better so we ordered chunk eye roll from the luxury meat page. This time the beef was excellent and we ordered another one. It was quite warm at our table as the aircon was not strong enough to combat the charcoal stoves. Service was okay. Servers can speak limited English. They have English menu. There was a 2 hour limit. We didn't stay very long as it was warm inside.

Has English menu. Serves beef that you grill on a charcoal grill. Protip: get the deluxe wagyu set for 2980 yen, you wont regret it.

My first try Sashimi horse meat, very delicious! Others dishes are very fresh though there is not enough fresh air

I'd attribute the high score on Google to the location. A lot of tourists are clearly dining here and haven't the experience with Yaki Niku to know that this place simply isn't up to scratch. The atmosphere is fairly hectic, loud music and as a result a lot of loud talking. The top quality expensive meat was about the same standard as most good Yaki Niku restaurant's normal meat. The cheaper plates were universally tough, chewy and stringy. Sadly lacking in flavor. It was also overpriced. There are much better, much cheaper options nearby. Just leave the main tourist strip and mediocre food behind.

So delicious! Great atmosphere and well priced. They took my allergy seriously (coeliac / gluten free) and I was able to eat wifely from the menu. Hot sake - so good! Highly recommend.

I went here twiceIt was packed but tasty

Great yakiniku experience the price is good and the all the cuts are delicious!! Recommended to order dondon salad along w the bbq you choose. The umesu selections are also great. Highly recommended. We came here twice during out trip hving supper yakiniku at10pm!

I really liked this place. Charcoal barbecue is placed in front of you. Your chosen meat comes along and you cook it to your liking. Not often that I talk about the vibe in a restaurant but the boys behind the counter were all energetic and fun to be around.

Best yakiniku restaurant. Taste good and price us reasonable. The place is a bit small and only have a couple of big tables and a long bench. Not recommended for big group. Group of 4 is fine. But expect a long wait as it is very popular even for locals. Not recommended for non-smokers or people with young children as this place allows people to smoke inside.

Good quality meats at a fair price. Quite a small place so arrive earlier or be prepared to wait in line.

Great young atmosphere. Excellent service despite the limited English the staff spoke. The wagyu selection was beautiful

Exceptional restaurant, really great food and friendly informal atmosphere. All at good price!

Very active staff, smile alway on their face, good and soft beef, high whisky ratio in “high ball” (good point), price is good compare to quality.
