Kimitsu, Chiba, Japan｜焼肉じゅうじゅうカルビ 君津大和田店

A Foreigner's Paradise! Thanks to a lovely Japanese family, I visited this restaurant during my stay in Japan in March 2021. There were proper measures of providing good hygiene and preventing anyone from getting sick during the COVID pandemic. The only issue is that the social distance was a little tricky due to the format of the restaurant where the booths are seated very closely to one another. I don't recall any English translations being provided on the menu, but I suppose it makes sense given that this place is not in a highly touristic area. It's rare for people like myself to attend local places like this, but I wanted to point it out regardless. That being said, if you have a Japanese translator by your side then navigating the menu will be easy and you won't regret eating there! This place is considered a "Teppanyaki" which is a place where you cook your food on a stove. So, you have an electronic menu at the table and you choose whatever you want by clicking on the photo and confirming your order. Shortly after, your server will bring what you ordered and (depending on what you ordered) you heat it up on the stove at your table. The family I was with had a meal plan where we could get whatever we wanted within an hour and a half time frame which made dinner very fun. We ordered all types of meat to grill. Some meals I got for myself include: chicken salad, fried karaage, and spiral potatoes. The restaurant also had a curry & rice and soup station, with an ice cream station for dessert and even a cotton candy machine. It's perfect for people with all types of palettes, from the culturally diverse to the extremely picky. I've since been home from Japan, but I crave the food I had there nearly everyday. The employees were kind and quick with our meals, the restaurant was efficient, and the food left me completely satisfied. This is a gem of a restaurant in this small rural town, and if you happen to be in the area I recommend you try it out!

Enjoying the weekend lunch menu~✩ The meat was delicious, and I had been really interested in this curry for a while, so it was very delicious. Of course the meat was delicious too~ Satisfied✩ And, all of the staff were polite and kind. When I finished my meal (and enjoyed the ice cream~☺), the male staff member said, ``I'll bring you some hot tea and a towel,'' and I felt very satisfied. Despite being a reasonably priced restaurant, I was able to fill my heart and mind and feel good!!! The parking space is quite large, but if you're going around lunchtime, be sure to arrive early~☺

I went with my two children during lunch time. I made a reservation so I was able to get in without waiting. It was crowded, so I think it's better to make a reservation if possible. We had a lunch menu of ribs, skirt steak, pork toro and chicken for about 1600 yen. The meat was tender and the sauce was delicious and went well with rice. Rice and soup were free to replace and I was satisfied enough. Desserts were also substantial, and the children seemed to enjoy baking marshmallows.
