About this place
When choosing meat at Saikoen Honten, diners’ comments point to premium beef tongue and skirt steak. One guest praised the skirt steak, while another recommended choosing the premium tongue. You could build your barbecue order around the cuts you most want to try.
One diner said the lean meat stood out, while another described the offal as “quite tasty, nothing exceptional”. You might make lean cuts the focus, or mix in other favourites and decide together at the table. The same guest recalled that even the most expensive meat came in a generous portion and seemed to melt in the mouth. They were also pleased with the amount of kimchi, which could make a welcome accompaniment between bites of meat.
The menu includes assorted namul, as well as grilled items such as king oyster mushrooms, onions, corn and other vegetables. These offer a way to add variety to a meal centred on meat. For Korean dishes alongside the barbecue, one diner recommends the siraegi soup. You can also build your meal around meat with soup and namul on the side.
Drinks include draft beer in medium and small sizes, bottled beer, and chuhai with flavours such as lemon, lime, yuzu and tomato. There are options for diners who prefer beer with their meal, as well as those looking to try a different flavour.
The Momodani main branch serves dinner and is described as suitable for groups. Reservations are available, and one diner reported enjoying a set course in a private tatami room on the 2 floor. If you’re planning a group meal, it may be worth discussing how you’d like to use the space when booking.
