串家物語 LABI1池袋店

Selection of skewered food for vegetarians a little too few, warm food buffet not vegetarian friendly, soft serve not worth your calorie intake. Staff a bit indifferent. Good desserts and salad, tempura making experience fun but have to be careful.

We thought this was a unique place where you could deep fry your own food. We had 90 minutes to cook and eat as much as we liked. There many items to choose from (including meat and vegetables) and you are provided with batter and breadcrumbs to coat them yourself before you put your sticks into the... deep fat fryer. Frying times for each item are available on the table. There's also soup and rice available and a matcha chocolate fountain with a selection of matcha flavoured desserts. You can't eat too quickly as you are waiting for things to cook and after a while the fat becomes so hot it starts to make it unpleasant to sit in front of it. It's not the best way to enjoy kushiage and when we visited it wasn't busy. It's ok for a different experience.

My sister visiting from out of town wanted to try an all you can eat fry your own tempura (kushiage) place. Not expecting much, I was pleasantly surprised with the experience. When you arrive at the restaurant, if there are a bunch of people sitting outside, go to entrance and put your name on the l...ist and wait in line as you and your party are called. You will be asked if you want just the food or do you want the all you can drink option, there are 3 (soda only, soda and alcohol, soda and better alcohol). Once seated you will notice a table side fryer and a lid. The lid is used for one side of the fryer to keep it at a higher temperature for food items that take longer to cook. There are meat, seafood and vegetable options. There is also noodles, rice and curry. You can also choose from a small selection of salad to take a break from all the fried food. On the same table you can find the dessert selection, from fruit to cake to a chocolate fountain. As with all establishment where food is cooked at table side, you WILL smell like food/oil. But they do offer a spray to help remove/lessen the spray at the register. Overall, this was a pleasant experience.

Here is a bad restaurant. Cooking oil isn't fresh, so it comes strong odor. Almost all ingredients was still frozen. I felt depressed I wasted my time & my money. 油の質悪すぎて、油の強烈な匂いが 一応席の下に衣類バックを収納できますが、それでも匂いはこびり付きます また串うちの状態悪すぎて、提供しているバットの中で既に串から外れている状態 系列店の中で比較しても状態最悪かと

While the food wasn't bad, the reason to eat here is for the experience of preparing and frying your food right at your table. The process involves selecting your skewers from a range of beef, pork, chicken, seafood, vegetables, and french bread (a bit different) and bringing them back to your tabl...e before sticking them in batter and breadcrumbs and frying them in the 170 C oil deep fryer embedded in the table. Again, not haute cuisine, but very fun the first 2 - 3 times. You have 90 minutes to eat your fill and can also select some salads, pickled items, soups, and desserts, including ice cream and a chocolate fountain. All and all it is a bit pricey for what you get, but mostly worth it for the experience that would result in law suits in most Western countries due to deep fry burn injuries.
