Hey everyone, just a restaurant post for you all today!
On Dec 11 I went with a few people to Gut's Soul ガッツ・ソウル, a Korean BBQ restaurant.
At this restaurant there are three different all-you-can-eat courses to choose from:
Bikkuri course
Bikkuri course
Ultra course
Chotto ii course
Chotto ii course
The Bikkuri course was the cheapest course at ¥1,300 or ¥2,400 to add the unlimited drinks option and the Chotto ii course was the most expensive at ¥2,080 (¥3,100 unlimited drinks). The different courses vary on the number of dishes available.
The bikkuri course only has chicken, pork and seafood dishes whereas the other two courses also have beef (with the most expensive course, of course, offering more varieties). All of the courses had a range of side dishes to order from such as rice and toppoki (with a few differences between the 3 courses).

We went for the Bikkuri course, although it was the cheapest course there was still a wide range of choices of meat and side dishes so it was definitely sufficient!
When you go in you choose the course you want and then the time limit. The usual limit is 90 minutes but for you can pay more to have 2 hours.
When you are seated you are given the all-you-can-eat menu corresponding to your course. You can eat as much as you like from the menu as long as you can actually finish it all!
You order the meals through a little electronic device on the table. It was a little difficult to use but we managed somehow!

In the middle of the table was a square grill to cook the meat and vegetables on. It was definitely hands-on dining so it's your own fault if the food is overcooked!!
There were also condiments on the table to use as desired.

Overall the BBQ meats were really tasty and it was fun cooking the food ourselves. The only warning is that unlike some other restaurants there aren't plastic bags to put your coats and bags in so be prepared to come out smelling like smoke and food!
We decided that 90 minutes would be sufficient. However, although we weren't left wanting for more food, we ended up rushing at the end to finish what was left over so if you are a slow eater or prefer to eat at a particularly leisurely pace or just want more time to chat at the end of the meal, then it may be worth adding the extra 30 minutes.

The bad points that we came across were that we found that the waiters that time were slightly less than welcoming which was a shame. Not to say that the service was terrible but it definitely could have been better. The other thing was that the side dishes were not as nice as the BBQ dishes but for an all-you-can-eat you cannot exactly expect Michelin-star food! It wasn't the most beautiful restaurant either, but as long as it isn't a particularly special occasion then it shouldn't matter too much.
Overall it was a good evening, we ate lots of tasty food and the fact that we could use the grill ourselves was pretty fun!
I would recommend this restaurant to people who like Korean barbecue. There are a lot of options, even on the cheaper menu. It is a bit more expensive than the usual meal at a restaurant but this is usually the case with Korean food and it was also a tabehoudai (all-you-can-eat). I think this restaurant is suitable for dinner out with friends but probably wouldn't be good for a date (if only for the smell! And the not-so-romantic atmosphere). If your looking for lots of tasty food, it is a good bet, but probably not advisable if you are looking for something more fancy!
