About this place
Choose a substantial thick slice or opt for thin-cut beef tongue: at Negishi, the cut shapes the set meal. One visitor recommends the thick-cut tongue, while another diner notes that the grilled beef tongue arrived piping hot, even when served on a plate.
Set meals come with barley rice, grated yam, oxtail soup and pickles, and the barley rice is described as free to refill. With beef tongue at the centre of the meal, diners can also add grated yam to their rice and enjoy the components at their own pace.
For a little variety, consider the Wanpaku Set. It brings together five meats: beef loin, miso pork, spicy pork, thin-sliced white beef tongue and red beef tongue. One diner who ordered it said they enjoyed the distinct flavours of each.
For a dish beyond beef tongue, the Blacky is another option. One diner said its sweet-and-savoury sauce brought out the flavour of the beef short ribs and went well with rice and drinks. Dine-in is available, and the restaurant is described as suitable for solo meals. The choice of meats makes it easy to find an option for lunch or dinner.
