Hamura, Tokyo, Japan｜Yakiniku King

This place can be pricey but you get unlimited food for an hour. They offer an additional all you can drink alcohol menu if you want. The meat is very tasty, and the servers will gladly change out your grate if you ask for it. On the weekends and holidays, it can be very crowded and you’ll end up waiting a few hours before being seated. The atmosphere is great and even on very busy nights, it’s not too noisy.

I love this place. Have been here dozens of times. The variety is amazing and the meat is always perfect. It may be a chain but I prefer this over any of the mom and pop yakiniku restaurants. Try to Korean pancakes! They will not disappoint!

This is a great restaurant! It is all-you-can-eat with a 60-minute timer. Basically, you order raw meat (beef, pork, chicken, squid) and cook everything yourself on an open grill in the center of the table. There are also vegetables, sides, and drinks on the menu. If you don't eat meat, you can still enjoy the restaurant, but the options are limited. Even though there is a timer, it is a surprisingly long time. It is probably partly because the meat is cut in thin slices, so it only takes a minute or so to cook as much as you put on the grill. You order from a tablet and it only takes a minute or two for your order to get to your table. Aside from the wait staff, there are robots that bring out your food. The only downside to this place is that it can be difficult to get a seat. It is extremely popular, so you usually have to make a reservation a week or two in advance, especially for the weekends. Worth it, though!
