I absolutely love how Japan embraces the solo dining experience! It seems odd to go to a K/JBBQ place alone or any restaurant for that matter but with places like this, Ichiran, or Ikinari, it seems perfectly normal to just enjoy a nice meal and drink by yourself. Ultimate self-care/love

For someone who dines solo most of the time, I so need this in my life.

I LOVE resturants where you can do everything on your own, and don't have to talk to people ❤. This makes me (who is an introvert and a loner) very VERY happy 😁😁😁😁🤗. This needs to be a common thing, worldwide.

You guys always find such neat little places. Love it and keep it up!

This seems kind of fun, I love that they are jamming out to the classics in there as well!

What an interesting idea for a restaurant. I really like how the table has a perfect cut out for the tray to fit in instead of just putting the tray on top of the table!

Your friendship with Satoshi is amazing. Most people would feel uncomfortable when there is too much silence, but it seems like you guys are able to hang out without even saying anything to each other. A relationship where you guys can feel comfortable in silence is very rare, respect!!!

I really enjoy how you present the experience. Most KZfaq content seems to feel the need to fill the air with useless prattle. I like the simple text and being able to hear the ambient noise of the space. It feels much more personal.

tokyo is such a gorgeous city, those shots at the end of the video were amazing, beautiful sunset overall

This is so clean and efficient. I love everything about Japan.

I truly appreciate all of the details, tips, and explanations that you provide. So helpful vs muddling through it completely lost or confused. I’ve saved so many of your videos as future reference for when I travel to Japan and need to figure out how to order/eat/sleep/drink/shower/pay/etc.

Food is always elevated to the next top notch level when you hear Stevie wonder music playing in the background!

Gotta love the 70s/80s rock in the background. The food looks good too! When I lived in Japan "strawberry shortcake" was a completely different concept than what I grew up with in the USA. Here, we literally use "shortcake" sponge (usually it's just the bottom half of a biscuit) for the bottom layer (about a half inch thick), pile in a bunch of chopped and sugared strawberries, and then top it with whipped cream (fresh or from a can) and the other half of the biscuit and add more strawberries and cream on top. In Japan, it's an entire cake - which to me is not "shortcake" but just a "strawberry cake." lol...

You guys are always so much fun! Makes me want to come back soon to see these places!😊

Love the concept of an individual grilling station. The meats looked delicious...... As for dessert, I usually choose something chocolate..... I love dense desserts like fudge, peanut butter pie with a thick layer of fudge or ganache, ice cream, and chocolate chip cookies. Sometimes I want something fresh and fruity, like a key lime pie or chocolate dipped strawberries. Yummy.

I love solo dining. I wish I had done it more often, as I have a kid now and that makes it harder, but it’s still possible. It’s just nice to just eat and have time to yourself.

Woahh. If I ever visit Japan I'll definitely try this place out. Thanks for the recommendation 👍👍

I just love how Japan just completely min-maxed everything to suit the needs of a single person. From single portions in the konbini, to solo dining. That's one thing I hate about living here in NA where everything in store has to be in large sizes and portions

Love this!! Always looking forward to your videos. Watching this makes me happy.

I love that they have Van Halen blasting in the background!

Oh wow , self serve and ordering . This is my style of dining 🍽 cooking great food just the way I like . Delicious 😋

We don’t have anything like this where I live, I wish we did, I love the idea of being able to cook my own food like that as well as being able to sit alone and relax and enjoy my meal without feeling self conscious.

The food you ate today in this video, they all looked delicious, but my favorite of them all is the Strawberry Short Cake. That cake looked so good, I wanted to be there with you and eat some myself. I love deserts, I can't choose a favorite because I love them all. Actually I love all food in general. I'm a girl that I will try something at least once, if I don't like it, at least I can say that I've tried it once. Lol. Great video. ❤❤❤

While in Tokyo years ago, I ordered a strawberry shortcake. As a matter of fact I ordered 2 for my after dinner snack plus a coke. I enjoyed them immensely because real heavy whipped cream was use. I was in seventh heaven.

This was a fantastic video. It's like I could taste the beef tongue, though I've never had it. My son and I can't wait to visit Japan one day. I hope we can eat here! I subscribed to your channel and I'm excited to see where you go next.

Always such a great pleasure to be able to travel with you! I love your journeys! Thank so much!

Everything looks amazing! Loved this solo experience! Egg yolk, beef and rice are the perfect combination! Thanks so much for sharing, Shinichi-san. Please take care, sweetie. Love u ❤️

Solo dining is one of my most favorite activities. Love this.

I love yakiniku when I visit Japan (love all the food actually!), but my absolute favorite is fresh ramen after a night of beer, before going back to the hotel. Can't wait to visit Japan again...hopefully soon.

No fast food, but feast food :)) love how polite Japanese are.... hope to come back soon!!

Thank you for taking us along, ooh everything looks so yummy! Looking forward to our next lunch together hehe! 😁

Oh man.... now that brings me back! Glad to see Nakano Broadway. Hopefully I can give that place a try once Jp opens back up for travel!

Barbecue. Cheap beer. The Stones, Stevie Wonder, and ZZ Top playing overhead. Man, that's heaven.

The food looks so good and the value is incredible!

Love the music in the background also!

And in the background plays Panama from Van Halen. Great ^^

Acdc and Stevie wonder?! This restaurant and Japan as a whole still know what it is with real music!!!

Great video! This is such a neat idea for a restaurant. Allows you to get a decent meal without needing to be with a group of people. Wish we had more places like this in the US. It’s annoying when I want to go to a place to eat because I am craving their food but I am not with a group. Don’t know why but I feel weird being by myself. Like other diners are silently judging me, lol.

Dessert looks fabulous..strawberry cream cake is my favorite!

Thank you for posting this. I hope that this place still exists when I will finally be able to return to Japan without a quarantine. Whenever that will be.

I love the way you cook it right there. That all looked so yummy 👍

I love the Japanese style of pub food and Bbq it holds a nice class and a calm vibe and sometimes it feels okay to eat solo and just enjoy life the way you want with no consideration for others :)

solo japanese bbq and nightrain of the gn'r in the background, best lunch ever.

Cheesecake is my ABSOLUTE favorite dessert. I love watching you guys videos and your TABIEATS videos as well

I love the idea of solo Yakiniku. The food looked delicious/oishii ☺️ Watching this video close to 12am midnight was not so smart bc now I'm hungry 😭

Oh, THIS place! They have an outlet or two in Singapore as well. It was great. Worth the rather long queue.

I enjoy these kinds of videos

i've been following tabi eats for a few years now and didn't know you guys had this channel! excited to find it since i love this kind of content

Oh! beef tongue is so good.😋 I wish more restaurants served it. You guys have such amazing choices when it comes to dinning out. Wish there was something like this here I'd eat there all the time. Take care and stay safe.😊

Food looks great. Meat looks so juicy and cooked to perfection. Beer looks ice cold. Cant go wrong with beef and beer!!🥩🍺😩😋

Van Halen jammin' in the back ground!!!! Nice!🤘

What an interesting eating place concept. It’s good to go for solo eating when you need your comfort food and have 1 person portion only. The strawberry cake looks so yummy.

Everything looked so yummy! Especially the strawberry shortcake, which is my favorite cake. My parents knew I was super bummed about not being able to visit Japan for Christmas/New year again this year and looked online for a recipe and surprised me with a Japanese strawberry shortcake. 🥰 It was delicious!

Pretty cool place to eat and seems that is close to schools, I remember wanting to finish high school in Japan.

Im happy for you being able to have these amazing experiences. Thank you for filming it so that i can sit here and dream myself away for a moment. Helps with the fact that i havent been able to visit japan in far too long due to covid.

i've tried it once because they opened a branch near my home, it's a really good experience for someone like me who loves eating alone, definitely will try it again sometimes later

It's so thoughtful and respectful to create restaurants with areas specifically designed for solo diners. The whole process you showed us really streamlines and normalizes eating alone. The food, all cooked to your taste, looked yummy. Does Yakiniku Like offer vegan or vegetarian sets? Thank you for the interesting video. ❤️❤️

I freaking love Japan. Never been but would really love to go. Would LOVE to try all of this and especially Kobe beef & local whiskey.

I love that you showed us a restaurant where you are able to cook your different meats, as done or as rare as you want. With very tasty sides like rice, (and the 80’s music I heard in the background like Van Halen, Stray Cats, Journey, The Rolling Stones, ZZ Top, Stevie Wonder and etc. I heard playing in the background, of the restaurant) onions and more. If I every back towards Japan, again, I will have to do that place and the desert shop you guys went to. I absolutely adore strawberry shortcake (when done right) and not too sweet, with a great cuppa unsweetened hot tea… especially at Strawberry festival time, here the Tampa Bay Area. The festival is around Late February or early March (they have a big line up of musical acts for the two weeks it is open). I love living near the strawberry and blueberry capital of the southern United States. Again thank you for sharing your time and side of the world with all of us. Damn… now I am hungry for strawberries and blueberries: I wonder if I have some still in my freezer? 🥰

Great video, Like the concept of solo dining and just cooking by yourself, sometimes it’s nice just to eat alone. Good value for money as well. Looked relaxing sitting outside watching the world go by with the strawberry shortcake at the end of video. My kind of day out . 😀👍🙏

This is wonderful. I am a huge introvert and I would love to have something like that in my own country.

Japan is so friggin cool such unique experiences in dining if they had this here it would be a smash hit!!!

Wow, nice! I like this restaurant! thanks for sharing

What a cool, yet unexpected place to be hearing Panama play in the background!

I honestly love it so much seeing this videos, i hope someday i can go to japan and eat as much as i can from everything they have. A big hug from Mexico! Merry christmas yall and happy new year! (not yet, but pretty soon :P)

That was amazing. I love Japan's implementation of solo dining. So cool

Thank you for this nice impression. If I ever visit Japan, I will definitely try this :)

I love the Van Halen music in the background, the restaurant and food also look delicious!

I would love to try Yakiniku 😋

美味そうです。いや絶対美味いやつですね。 まさに孤独のグルメ!

NICE. I loved the street it's on so much, and this place is soooo cool!! And look at you.....cooking!! Very reasonable and so fun! The kalbi looked so good. That dessert looked sooo good, the blood orange juice looked beautiful.

The beautifully charred meat looks so tasty! Great video as usual!

That's incredibly healthy food for that price! That would get an A&W meal here in Canada lol. Someone take me to Japan!!!!!😄

great vid! made me so hungry and wished i was there with you! keep up the good work!

Great video! Thanks a lot for it! I like to watch how ordinary people are living on the other side of the world i'll probaly never visit, thank You.

This looks like a nice experience, but honestly I don't want to cook my food when I go out. I do enough of that at home. Looks delicious though and fun to do every once in awhile.

Love this idea! Solo dinners 👍

I love watching your videos! This is my excitement for a Saturday night lol

Van Halen - Panama blasting in the background. Bonus points!

Ahh, I've never done yakiniku, but I have done shabu-shabu and miss it terribly (no restaurant offers it, where I live now). This looks so good! (Except the raw egg, still not comfortable with that) There's something amusing about you two going together to show us a solo dining restaurant. 😄 I guess Satoshi didn't have any room for dessert, lol.

i would like to visit Japan.Thank from Rome Italy

Hehe you are going to a solo barbeque restaurant as a pair :-) Love this! I like going solo to Japan (did this in 2018 and 2019 and can't wait to be back). Also nearly at the entrance of Nakano Broadway. Perfect.

It's wild to hear Journey playing in a barbeque in Tokyo. Yakiniku to classic rock with friends sounds like a great time.

My name's Marcela from Brasil I love yours vídeos 👋

That strawberry shortcake looks amazing. Personally i prefer anything mango but that cake is a close second.

That looks so good. The added touch of egg was the finishing touch

Strawberry shortcake....love it when I was younger living in Tampa Florida, we used to have a strawberry festival. Shortcake everywhere.

Япония - потрясающая страна. Хотел бы я там жить ))

The food always looks amazing and it’s so reasonably priced.

These videos always manage to make me hungry! 🤤

Some great songs in the background! Kanpei!

These places are brilliant and I wish America would adopt places like this but unfortunately I don't see that ever happening 😕 😢 😞 😔

Some of you might be glad to know there’s an all-you-can-eat version of this as well, plus conveyor belts plus ordering on the phone. Total solo experience.

It's nice to see a solo dining thing start up in earnest. That's one of the reasons I don't go out to eat much in the first place! Great idea that's sure to get more popular with time.

Love this kind of restaurant. As a foodie who enjoys dining solo this is must place to visit

There should be more solo restaurants all over the world~!

they open here in Jakarta as well, around the same time it first opened there (it has been operating about a year or so) so it kinda surprised me to know they are in Japan too (I thought it was a local yakiniku store 🤣). They are good if you want to eat beef but cannot handle all you can eat style (like me) so i do go there often 🥰

I am very hungry now watching your video make me more hungry nice video Japanese food are really delicious

Such a great value for not only the food, but the experience as well. If only we had these types of establishments in NYC!!

The surprising part to me is how cheap the beer is, even the worst of the worst would be like $7 or 8 where I'm at for that amount.
