Reviews Summary
Yashang Ajibo is a highly recommended spot, especially for its exceptional lamb dishes that blend Chinese and French influences. Diners praise the flavorful food, lively local atmosphere, and unique self-serve wine option. While some note the portions can be small for the price, the overall consensus is that it's a must-visit for lamb enthusiasts and those seeking a vibrant dining experience.
"For us, this is the go-to place for delicious lamb dishes. It’s basically Chinese lamb cuisine but a part of menu features some French inspired dishes as well. They all tasted fantastic, bringing out full flavor of lamb. Appetizers were also great, and daily menu (on the blackboard) were awesome. The place has nice local feel but kept clean and comfortable. Lots of young people dining when we were there. Service was quick and nice.
If you are even faintly fond of lamb, you’ll definitely love this place, even if you don’t like lamb, i guess you may as well get converted. Worth a try.
Highly recommended!"

Great place for first or second restaurant.

Having been a long time fan of the original Ajibo in Kanda, I was a bit disappointed to see that the menu was significantly cut down from the Kanda restaurant. One particular item that should have been kept is the spare rib cutlet. If you really want the Ajibo experience, I would recommend going to the Kanda restaurant instead, as it's not that far from Okachimachi anyway.
That aside, I still love what was served here including the get your own bottle of wine from the wine fridge style service. But man, I missed that spare rib cutlet. 😅"

"My second visit here. First time I come here, all the seats were taken, this is used to reservation must spot. I do care and worry about hospitality business but same time I know nothing important than our lives. Even good food and lots of laughs are essential for life. The COVID19 is getting another hit. Stay safe everyone!
