Its least expensive dinner course is ¥23,500 (on Tabelog), about the same as the ¥21,780 median of the 21 steakhouses in Tokyo ranked nearest to it. It takes bookings online only in Japanese, on Ikyu Restaurant; 70 of the 205 steakhouses in Tokyo can be booked online in English. Good for a seat at the counter, a late dinner (open until 23:00), a meal with children (its Tabelog listing says they are welcome), and an anniversary (it prepares a celebration if asked when booking). Course prices that sources agree on: ¥23,500 on both Tabelog and Ikyu; ¥40,000 on both Tabelog and Ikyu.
