English menu? ✓ English-speaking staff? ✓✓ English lunch menu? ✓✓✓ All of that would be pretty rare in a Japanese restaurant but in a high-quality yakiniku restaurant? And one that takes solo diners? All of that is surely exceptional. ✓✓✓✓
The Ushigoro group operates a number of high-end yakiniku restaurants in Tokyo, including the 'super' high-end Ushigoro S. (which doesn't take bookings for one person). All Ushigoro branches have the same basic menu but each branch has a number of exclusive items. Dinner courses are from JPY 5,500 - JPY 13,000 or you can order a-la-carte. If you order a course above JPY 10,000 the staff will cook the yakiniku for you. The dinner menu is available at lunch as well but as of 1st December 2020, two branches offer a weekday lunch menu (three since the opening of the Shinjuku branch in June 2021) with three courses available from JPY 2,900 to JPY 4,900. On my visit I had the most expensive weekday lunch option. I've pictured the menu and meat that was included in my meal below. The dinner, a-la-carte and seasonal menus are on the Ushigoro website.
I previously reviewed the upper mid-market yakiniku chain Kintan. You get less meat for your money at Ushigoro than at Kintan but it's much higher quality.
For lunch, the lone diner or a non-Japanese speaker, Ushigoro is probably the best place to go for yakiniku in Tokyo right now.
