Meigetsukan

For lunch at Meigetsukan, you can build your meal around soup or noodles: pair grilled meat with galbi soup, or choose cold noodles. One diner recalled that the galbi soup, a lunchtime favourite, was less spicy than it looked, with a hint of sweetness. They also described generous chunks of galbi that were thick yet meltingly tender—a good choice when you want soup to take centre stage. Other lunch options include oxtail soup and siraegi soup. The Meigetsukan A Lunch comes with galbi soup and is listed at 1,800 yen.

If you’d like grilled meat as well, you can add à la carte items to a lunch set. One diner enjoyed thinly sliced pork belly marinated in sauce with rice, and added thick-cut premium tongue, which they found tender yet springy, and juicy premium skirt steak. Others have reported enjoying lunch with its small side dishes and rice, adding short loin as well. It’s easy to put together a more substantial grilled-meat meal.

For a lighter finish, consider the Korean hand-kneaded cold noodles. The set is served with kimchi and either beef rice bowl or a small bibimbap. The noodles are kneaded to order, so preparation takes time; they’re best when you can take your meal at an unhurried pace. The restaurant recommends booking for lunch, so consider making a reservation if you have a particular dish in mind, whether soup or noodles.
