Yakiniku (焼き肉 or 焼肉), meaning “grilled meat”, is a Japanese term that, in its broadest sense, refers to grilled meat cuisine. “Yakiniku” originally referred to western “barbecue” food; today, “yakiniku” commonly refers to a style of cooking bite-sized meat (usually Wagyu beef and offal) and vegetables on gridirons or griddles over a flame of wood charcoals carbonized by dry distillation (sumibi, 炭火) or a gas/electric grill. It is one of the most popular national dishes of Japan. In many parts of the world, yakiniku is also commonly referred to as “Japanese barbecue
The term “Wagyu”, which means Japanese (“wa”) and cow (“gyu”), essentially refers to the breed of Japanese cattle that have been domesticated from wild oxen. Wagyu beef has a rich, juicy, buttery, caramel taste sensation and a beefy flavour and aroma. The exceptional levels of oleic monosaturated fats – the healthy fats – are characteristic of Wagyu. It dissolves at lower melting temperatures – it literally melts in your mouth and with the flavour that never fails to satisfy.

Great food, service, and drinks. Restaurant was quiet and atmospheric. Catered to our dietary requirements. Only downside is it’s hidden from the main eateries. It’s around the corner from the pip theatre.mia a18 February 2025Loved this place! The restaurant itself is private and tucked away, the service is friendly and efficient. The food is absolutely amazing! After coming back from a trip from Japan, we were missing the food. This restaurant gave us an authentic Japanese Yakiniku experience.
