Fantastic yakiniku. I go every time I visit Tokyo. Enjoy!

I visited 五鉄, a yakiniku restaurant about 5 minutes on foot from the north exit of 西荻窪 Station! It has a really classic atmosphere, with only a コ-shaped counter! There's a retro feel, like a long-established yakiniku place with lots of regulars🥹 There were lots of solo diners too, so it's perfect for yakiniku alone! What I ordered ・上タン塩　1380円 ・カルビ　950円 ・ハラミ　950円 ・キムチチャーハン　650円 Once seated, a shichirin grill is placed in front of you, and you cook the meat yourself. Charcoal-grilled meat really does smell wonderful and get you excited🙌 The 上タン塩 was especially delicious! Just the right thickness with a satisfying bite, and charcoal grilling makes it fragrant and incredibly tasty😍 Simple, but with plenty of meaty savoriness. No wonder it's popular✨ The カルビ and ハラミ were reliably delicious too. The sweetness of the fat combined with the charcoal aroma makes you want rice✌️ The キムチチャーハン I ordered at the end had savory kimchi flavor and a spicy kick, making it just right to finish the meal! Overall, a place with a lovely classic atmosphere where you can casually enjoy yakiniku🥰 Apparently it often fills up on Saturdays and Sundays, so I'd recommend timing your visit! It's perfect for solo yakiniku in 西荻窪 too. Do give it a try! ■ Address 東京都杉並区西荻北3-14-4 ■ Access 5 minutes on foot from the north exit of 西荻窪 Station ■ Closed Tuesdays

Visited for a meal with a friend. Ordered カルビ、ロース、上タン、豚トロ. The カルビ was sinewy and very disappointing. The ロース was the quality you'd expect for the price, but it did have flavor. The 上タン was just the right thickness and satisfying. The 豚トロ is salty, so be careful. The seating is a counter with a shichirin grill placed in front of you. In summer, the air conditioning has no effect at all, so you'll need precautions against heatstroke. Sometimes your rice order doesn't arrive. Even if you check after 10 minutes, you're told “it's in order,” so plan ahead, including refills. The floor staff don't answer when called. But avoid calling repeatedly; apparently they can hear you. Recommended for anyone who finds other restaurants insufficiently stimulating. A 1-star rating with hopes for the future too. It was too stimulating for me, so one visit was enough.

I came in at 19:45 on Friday and it was almost empty, but shortly after 20 it filled up completely. There are only counter seats. The layout is just like 吉野屋. Its distinguishing feature is the wide selection of offal. The tongue was tender and delicious, and I felt every cut was carefully sourced. Accordingly, the prices certainly aren't cheap. Maybe around 5割 higher than 焼肉きんぐ. The kimchi is the authentic fermented kind, with strong acidity.

Dinner with my wife, part 2 Off to 五鉄 I'd been curious about this place too Counter yakiniku^_^ The heat from the shichirin charcoal is intense! That's part of the appeal Ordered just enough to nibble on The beer tastes great♪ The food is just normally tasty Value is average, I guess It's not cheap Lots of married couples Us too, I suppose ※Quick tip Order everything at once at the start It's old with an interesting atmosphere So it could be useful for some occasion
