Buruzu Azabu Juban Yakiniku short review

Happy New Year!!! I ate this back in 2018... but I didn't have time to write about it... so here it is! 

the name of the place is: ブルズ焼き肉 (BULLS in English)

I had one of the best dining and also worse services at this restaurant. I was torn when I had to rate this place. The food was fantastic but the service was one of the worse.

This was the set menu... unfortunately, the ¥6000 set required us to tell the restaurant well in advance. Out of ¥8,000 and ¥10,000, we chose ¥10000. The reason was the UniNiku (雲丹肉 Sea Urchin with Beef)

 The 雲丹肉 was the deciding factor when we chose the restaurant as well as the set. (only the ¥10000 included this in their set... regular price is ¥800 / piece).

Pumpkin soup and beef tartar

in the dish next in front of the uniniku, you can see a sauce dish. Left is a strong yuzu sauce and right is salt.

the sauces from left to right: onion sauce, some sour sauce, lemon sauce

the salad was really good. I really liked the salad dressing... it was salt based.

the kimchi Korean platter

the meat platter... :9 (is your mouth watering yet?)

it deserves another picture

and another one

the stove was big making the meat look small... but they weren't... 

in the end they gave us pickles

this dish required us to cook on the stove 5 seconds each side.

the result (there was a piece of rice we had to wrap around

we had an assortment of ramen to choose from cold, spicy to mild. I chose the spicy one

a sherbert to finish the meal off

and finally... the candy basket. which contained a lot of random candy, breath mints, some mints to clean your stomach and gum.

the service:

it was terrible. First, the servers did not know what food was included and couldn't answer any of our questions. They were unprofessional and extremely rude.

the restaurant closes at 11:00. But they started kicking us out at 9:15... and then ushered us out by 10:00... (we gave them the benefit of the doubt thinking maybe we were the only ones left... BUT when we walked out of the booth, there were two more tables still eating... and there was no line).

During the moments they think they could charge us extra (for the ramen, if we chose a Spanish Paella, we had to pay ¥700 extra) they came acting nice and trying hard to convince us to upgrade when we declined they gave us a dirty look and left.

service score: 4.5/10
food score: 9.5/10
