About this place
A hamburg steak arrives sizzling on a hot plate, coated in a fragrant sauce. Near the Sumida River in Saga, Koto City, MR.OLDMAN DINER is a reassuring choice when you want a satisfying meat-focused meal. The popular lunch hamburg steak grill comes with a choice of sauces, including demi-glace, grated daikon with Japanese-style seasoning, and tomato. It is served as a filling set with soup, salad and rice. The savoury, well-seared patty and its sauce pair nicely with rice. Around lunchtime, nearby diners fill the counter and tables one after another.
Lunch choices can also include a daily meat dish, hamburg steak curry or skirt steak, offering hearty options to suit the mood of the day. The diner’s burgers also make a strong showing, from a generously sized cheeseburger to a charcoal-grilled Japanese black wagyu burger served as part of a course.
Charcoal grilling and ajillo for dinner
Dinner brings main dishes such as charcoal-grilled beef rōsu (loin) steak and grilled chicken with basil sauce.

The drinks list includes beer, wine by the glass, various sours and whisky, making the diner a comfortable fit for an informal dinner or a drink with friends.
Inside, there is counter seating as well as tables and a loft-like mezzanine, making the space practical for anything from a solo lunch to a dinner gathering.
