A satisfying Korean BBQ meal with quality meats and variety
👍
Time of visit: January 2023
Not just the usual cuts
Majangdong 新大久保焼肉 マジャンドン is a Korean BBQ restaurant in Shin Okubo (Shinjuku), Tokyo, which offers a range of meats and organ cuts. The staff explained that Korean cuisine has a wider variety of organ meats than Japanese cuisine. That context helped.
The meat quality came through clearly. Everything we tried was flavorful and satisfying.
They served cinnamon tea at the end. It was simple but very memorable. We loved it.
A more private and straightforward experience
Each table had a partition. It gave a sense of privacy. The space felt more relaxed than open BBQ spots.
The service was efficient but not particularly warm. The staff explained the menu and served the food properly. The interaction felt a bit impersonal. Still, everything ran smoothly.
We enjoyed the experience and would come back again.
