The secret taste that has lasted only because it is loved by customers

Ryu is a well-known Genghis Khan restaurant. It started 46 years ago in 1978. It opened as a Genghis Khan restaurant "Salmon Yuu" at that time. Since then, the restaurant has continued to carry on the secret flavors loved by the locals while changing the name of the restaurant. The current owner is Mr. Toi, who used to be a regular at Ron's.
In the back of the restaurant, there is a small seating area where you can feel the atmosphere of before the relocation.
He runs the third generation of Ron's with a deep "love for Ron" because he was a regular. Mr. Toi loves professional wrestling. You can see a bit of a pro-wrestling feel in the restaurant. He has such a warm personality that I wondered if he was a relative of mine. He has such a warm personality that you might wonder if they are related. The friendly and approachable atmosphere of the owner is one of the charms of Ron. Ron's Instagram story is updated frequently and always looks so fun and delicious that it makes me want to go there every time I see it.
The "Jingisukan Lunch" with the best costumers
Grilling on this baking table is so exciting and different from home!
The first lunch you should try is the most cost-effective lunch. There are two types of lunches: "Jingisukan Lunch" (935 yen) and "Tokkyo Horumon Lunch" (935 yen). It comes with rice, pickles, and miso soup, and is a very good value for the generous portion. And what's more, it is delicious! With such quality and volume, you can understand why it is so popular among the locals, as you only pay 1000 yen for change.
The beef cheeks are also excellent!
Wagyu beef cheek 880 yen
We recommend the "Genghis Khan" which is meaty but not peculiar, and the "Wagyu Beef Cheeks" which is rich in flavor and tender. Gyoja garlic, which is rare to be available year-round, is also delicious when grilled together with Jingisukan. On the side menu, "Yaki Udon" and "Potatoes" are also excellent. In conclusion, whatever you order is delicious, so please order as much as your stomach will allow.
Special Kalbi 1210yen
Mr. Toi's House Taisho make-in french fries 385 yen
