About

Located just a 2-minute walk from Nakano Station's North Exit, this Korean BBQ restaurant serves grilled meat using A4-grade or higher Wagyu beef and authentic Korean cuisine. A long-established Nakano restaurant since 1987, it makes its own special BBQ sauces and dressings in-house, without using any unnecessary additives. The wood-paneled interior is perfect for everything from a drink after work to family meals and large banquets.

— Korean hot pot and stew are just as popular as Korean yakiniku (grilled meat).

Alongside yakiniku (Japanese BBQ), another pillar of the restaurant is Korean cuisine, prepared by a chef who has dedicated himself to mastering the art of Korean cooking, using many authentic ingredients. The menu includes Sundubu Jjigae, a spicy tofu stew; Samgyetang, a whole chicken stew; and Gejang, marinated crab in soy sauce. Hot pot dishes include Horubul Nabe, a combination of offal, Gopchang (small intestine), and bulgogi; Budae Jjigae, which includes ramen noodles and sausages; and Gopchang Jeongol, a combination of Marucho (small intestine) and Gopchang (small intestine). To finish off the yakiniku meal, they offer Lee Won's special cold noodles, which combine a chewy texture with savory flavor, sourness, and a touch of spiciness. Although it is a yakiniku restaurant, it is a place you can visit specifically for the Korean cuisine.

Yakiniku Lee-en in Nakano offers a great Muslim-friendly wagyu experience in Tokyo. While not halal-certified, the restaurant uses halal ingredients for its Muslim-friendly menu, separate utensils, and does not serve pork. The wagyu quality was excellent, with beautiful marbling, rich flavor, and melt-in-your-mouth texture. The cozy atmosphere, private grilling space, and friendly staff made the dining experience even more enjoyable. For Muslim travelers looking to try authentic Japanese yakiniku with greater peace of mind, Yakiniku Lee-en is definitely worth a visit
