Came here with a big group of friends after seeing good reviews online, and it did not disappoint! The meat was incredibly flavorful and fresh, and I absolutely loved their rice cakes (tteokbokki)—so delicious! **The staff were very welcoming and genuinely friendly to foreign customers, which made us feel super comfortable.** Since we were a large group, we might have been a bit loud, but the atmosphere was very lively and local customers were having fun too, so we didn't feel out of place at all. The only minor downside is that they close a bit early at 23:00, but overall we had an amazing experience. Highly recommend this place!

I was very satisfied with my meal at Tonchan Samgyeopsal! The restaurant was spacious and comfortable. The service from the staff was excellent, smiling and friendly, and they grilled the meat with great care. I didn't have to grill it myself and it was easy and delicious. I especially recommend the samgyeopsal (three slices of pork), which was crispy and savory on the outside and juicy on the inside. I would definitely like to come back to this restaurant!

The food was good and tasty. They provide some small side dishes along with the meal. Rice isn't included with the soup and is extra. The size of the soup is a bit small, but satisfying flavour and ingredients.

the latest project from the Tonchang Group. This location takes the Tonchang formula (the originators of Korean pork belly in Tokyo) and deliver with a modern twist; one that definitely does not disappoint. Many Korean restaurants in the area spread themselves very thin, trying to serve everything and anything that can be considered Korean food. This location of Tonchang decides to take a very different direction from other Tonchang’s locations and other restaurants in the area. Focusing on a limited menu with very high quality ingredients with everything cooked table side; this is easily my favorite restaurant in Korea town hands down. The owner is also fluent in English making it easy for tourists to enjoy. 10/10. Highly recommend. Stand out Items were: cheese chijimi & the garlic friend rice.

Super fun, cool vibe, pork belly, kimchi, potato cheese chijimi .. everything was excellent.. English friendly.. a fabulous find in Shin-Okubo.
