This spot is famous for its long lines, but I got lucky this time. Went right when the mall opened and managed to get a seat without waiting.
The setup is counter-style around the grill. You get a set with 3 hamburg steaks, rice, and onion soup (the soup was surprisingly good, sweet with onions). They also give you a few condiments: salt, pepper, soy sauce, salted lemon, green chili in olive oil… but my favorite was the yuzu sauce — super refreshing and perfect for cutting through the richness.
Here’s how the steaks are served:
1. First patty – plain, no seasoning. The chef recommends taking a big bite to enjoy the pure beef flavor.
2. Second patty – topped with grated daikon and their special ponzu. A bit tangy, helps balance the heaviness.
3. Third patty – comes with a raw Moritama egg. They even provide a strainer so you can use just the yolk. Dip it in yolk + yuzu sauce = amazing combo.
Overall: super fun experience, really tasty, and I get why people line up for it. Would I wait 2+ hours? Probably not. But if you time it right, definitely worth trying at least once.
