01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Housed in a building just outside Ikebukuro Station's East Exit, tokuryu is an appealing hybrid dining spot where you can pair sizzling grilled meats with steaming Chinese specialties. Sitting at a table equipped with a built-in grill, you can cook cuts over the mesh while sharing authentic Chinese stir-fries and dim sum, tailoring your meal freely to suit your mood.
The yakiniku menu features mainstays like Wagyu kalbi, thick-cut beef tongue, and premium skirt steak, alongside rare cuts such as shin-shin (core rump), tomo-sankaku (tri-tip), and ichibo (top sirloin cap). Marinated jar-packed kalbi and skirt steak, as well as offal selections like shimacho (large intestine) and hachinosu (honeycomb tripe), round out the options. For group sharing, assorted platters like the beef tongue selection or family platters are especially handy.
Hearty Set Meals and Noodles Day and Night
Lunchtime brings generous yakiniku sets, such as the three-cut platter featuring skirt steak, Wagyu loin, and Wagyu kalbi, as well as standard kalbi sets. These come with rice, soup, kimchi, namul, and salad, with the option to add half-portions of meat to reach your desired volume. In addition, Chinese set meals featuring dishes like Chen Mapo Tofu or Sichuan-style stir-fried beef and vegetables include free rice refills. Noodle combinations pairing ramen or tantanmen with beef fried rice are also on hand when you want a genuinely filling meal.
Beer, wine, sours, and all-you-can-drink plans make the restaurant equally convenient for evening meals and casual drinking parties. Because it operates continuously without a break from 11:00 to 23:30, you can stop in whenever the craving strikes, whether for an early lunch or a late dinner.
