Continuing from my last stop in Shibuya, I found myself wandering around Center Street around dinner time, trying to decide where to go next. Then suddenly, a familiar spot caught my eye.
Turns out, it was a place I’d seen before.
Located just past the bustling Center Street, near the Yoshimoto theater, this spot sits on the 4th floor of a building right across from Sushizanmai—one of those locations you might easily miss if you’re not looking up.
This place specializes in samgyeopsal and has a casual, street-stall-inspired vibe, giving it that laid-back, almost hidden-gem feel in the middle of Shibuya’s chaos.
Interestingly, it was surprisingly quiet when I walked in—probably because it overlapped with the WBC game featuring Japan. A rare moment of calm in an otherwise packed area.
Without missing a beat, I ordered a draft beer and ended up knocking back half of it in one go. So good.
There’s just something about having a grill right at your table—whether it’s BBQ or yakiniku—it instantly lifts the mood.
Naturally, I went straight for their signature dish and ordered the samgyeopsal.
I only realized after ordering—but yeah, this place actually comes with a bunch of small side dishes when you get the samgyeopsal.
Honestly, even just the samgyeopsal on its own is already pretty satisfying.
A mix of namul, kimchi, green onions—little bits of everything on the side.
Wrap it all up in fresh lettuce, add some garlic and kimchi, then dip it in sesame oil—simple, but so good.
To finish things off, they even serve a complimentary chige soup, which is a nice touch.
Honestly, it might be better to hold off on ordering too much at the start—see everything laid out first, then decide what else you need.
As always, it’s one of those easy, go-to spots that just works.
Good meal.
