Comments of Yakiniku Yokocho
i.
Loved visiting! They have amazing marinated meats especially the MUST TRY boneless beef short ribs which we ordered twice. It's delicious either accomodating staff, lovely atmosphere and delicious food. The only downside is the price but it's worth it for celebrations and with larger groups! Also be sure to arrive early or book as it can get quite busy. (The pork ribs are also pretty good! )
A. I. W.
Booking in advance is essential to avoid long waiting time although this food was definitely worth the ~20 mins waiting time. My favorite is the yukke and I always feel like one bowl is never enough 🤤 the beef finger rib and ox tongue are also recommended!
M. S.
An incredible atmosphere and wonderful place for Japanese bbq! The meat was high quality and so soft. The staff were mostly Japanese too which I appreciate. There is no buffet option so is good for groups who don’t want to eat too much!
Make sure you book as it can be very busy.
C.
One of my favourite bbq places in Sydney. The meat is always of top quality and so fresh. The side dishes really compliment the bbq well and the staff are always so helpful and friendly. Will continue coming here for years to come!
H. C.
I tried ox tongue, outskirts, short ribs, rib fingers with wasabi and cold noodles. I highly recommend the ox tongue, that was best of all, and I don't recommend to try the wasabi one and cold noodles. I don't see any good of that wasabi thing, and cold noodles' taste was bit weak compared to the cold noodles that I had from Korean BBQ restaurants. Overall pretty good.
A. K.
This is my favorite Japanese restaurant.The food is always fantastic and reasonable price!
No matter what I order I am always happy with my meal!
We just went after lockdown finished and it was busy but service was great too. Highly recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat Japanese barbecue:)!
A. L.
Great Japanese BBQ! They have a good selection of meat and also Japanese sakes. It is better to come when they just open to avoid a long wait.
J. L.
High quality meats that melt in your mouth. Ox tongue was cut inconsistently so some pieces were thin and others were too thick to chew. Side dishes are good but not much variety. Service is fast and waiters/waitresses are polite and manage the reservations and walk-ins extremely well. Affordable Japanese bbq compared to others in the area.
B. d. G.
Good value, great tasting food, convenient location and friendly service - absolute winner in my books, can’t wait to go back for more
D. L.
Me and my partner went there and wait quite a while to get a table for two.
Not the charcoal fire Japanese bbq, lil bit disappointed, price is bit high for two people we paid 75$ to get two plates of beef and 5 of side dishes, over all it’s still a pretty nice bbq restaurant! Full of Japanese elements near this place! The sushi cross this restaurant r also very good , they r under the elevator , near the Daiso shop.
P. A.
Food always great but mocktail drinks was just so so except their Japanese beers. Been there plenty of time because it just right in the centre of the cbd. Price is reasonable.
m. p.
Great food and drinks! Recommend the short rib and rib finger . Wish they didn't seat a large group next to us with no proper division though , especially during COVID.
Reply: Yes unfortunately it did occur, there was actually no seat gap the other patron was immediately next to me.
N. L.
Love the food here, the bbq meat are very juicy and tender.
A bit overpriced but it's located in the centre of the city so.... I guess acceptable
E. J.
An authentic dining experience. My Japanese partner gave it a seal of approval, stating that this restaurant would be successful in Japan. This is just about the highest praise a Japanese person can give an eating establishment outside of their home country.
C. H.
Amazing restaurant. Nice menu, easy ordering from the provided iPad. Food was served quickly. Food was prepared well and cooked perfectly. Everything we ordered tasted delicious. Customer service was fantastic with friendly and welcoming staff. Nice decor and dining atmosphere. Would come back for more.
D. M.
Loved it here! Clean tables, efficient service, friendly staff, delicious food! What else could you ask for? High quality beef. There was quite a large wait, but we knew there would be so we planned ahead and it wasn't an issue for us. Had an incredible experience and we will be visiting again soon.
J. D.
Nice barbecue with a variety range of meat to choose from. We booked a table a day before so didn’t spend any time on the queue. Meat were juicy and fresh, side dishes were great too. Customer services could be more friendly.
E. C.
I love the food there I’ve been going there for years, they have unfortunately upped the prices recently. And cut down on the portion sizes. Wish there was more selection of seafood. Service 8/10
B. L.
Similar to a Korean BBQ, this is a great place where you can put your cooking skills to the test. If you are lazy or simply no good at cooking, you can just order a set where the meat is already cooked for you. I have tried both ways and the food was excellent here.
What stood out for me about this restaurant is that they have good quality meat as well as a good range of offals like intestine, liver, tongue that are great for BBQ and go well with alcohol.
TIP: There is a very unique matcha-flavoured beer from Kyoto that is a must-try.
K. C. D. (.
A bit overrated. I have heard a lot of positive reviews of this place. Decided to try out myself. Made a booking, requested for a time and the staff was nice to confirm the booking. They called on the day to confirm the booking.
The service wasn't great. You can order on an iPad with multilingual menus and the waiter/waitress would come and dump the dishes on the table.
Very crowded with limited space. Strict 90mins dining time. They start the timer the moment you enter the restaurant. Watching the timer ticking definitely made the experience worse.
Great food but tiny portions. Menu items were not expensive, but you would need to order more dishes due to smaller portion size.
Quite authentic Japanese. They have a wide variety of specialised dishes. Something more interesting than other not so authentic "Japanese" restaurants.
Worth trying once. I probably won't visit again.
M. L.
Really nice. Fresh meat, fast service. Will definitely visit again
Y. L.
Good Japanese BBQ. The meat is really good, juicy and tasty. Order four side dishes and get one free. Staff are friendly. We had five people spent around $170around. Recommend to everyone.
H. D. D. N.
My to-go venue for BBQ!!!!! Always take my friends here for BBQ and all of them love it: from the meat options, reasonable price to quick service and friendly staffs
even the side dishes are yummy as well - my favourite are seafood salad and lobster (or crab??) salad.
will definitely come back here many more time <3
X. C.
I have been to this restaurant three times. The quality of BBQ meat is the best! MUST TRY! However the lunch bento’s boneless beef short rib is different. They are much much tougher, so if you want to have good one don’t order bento.
The waiter/waitress made my jacket a mess without mentioning that. I just noticed the stain(looks like oil)when I left. Very Disappointed
O. v.
This Japanese restaurant is one of my favourites in Sydney CBD. It’s good for both big meal BBQ beef self-cook sets and fast lunch sets. The staff are friendly and very quick in providing customer services.
W. N.
Definitely a quality Japanese Barbecue place! Looks authentic and taste authentic. I like the shop design, which has drawn fair amount of crowd here.
The premium beef (tendon loin) are great but the normal grade ones (ox tongue) are impressive enough too!
You get the 5th side dishes free when you order the first 4. Portions are just fine.
Customer services are good and drinks are
pricewise: Not cheap but it’s well worth it!
e. h.
Some of the best Wagyu you can get, Soo good !!! The sides are quite pricey but the meat is pretty well priced so it evens out. Staff are friendly, book in advance to get a table cause the lines can get pretty long.
G. K.
Had an enjoyable meal at Yakiniku Yokocho. The meat was very tasty and delicious. We ordered 3 small portions of meats and one side + large rice to share between 2 people. With beer $65 in total. It was perfect for us. Highly recommend the Boneless Beef Rib and Pork Neck. Not so much the outskirt which was in comparison more chewy.
It’s a cozy little place and staff was very attentive and fast with service. If you go rush hour might need to wait. It is very popular.
The place does get a bit smokey when it’s full, the ventilation tubes weren’t as effective as it should be.
We will surely return, this looks to be a keeper and an awesome regular spot to eat.
Note that the BBQ is with gas not charcoal. And 90 mins meal time limit, which was more than enough for us.
S. c. (.
Yakiniku Yokocho is a great little bbq place on the bottom level of regent place shopping centre. You may have to wait a little while for your table but you can browse the shops whilst you wait. It’s a touch screen order menu and you can order your selection of meat and sides to cook yourself on the bbq grill in front of you. You receive an array of sauces to flavour your meat, though with such good quality meat, it isn’t really needed. We ordered a few sides and enjoyed the salad as well as some sashimi. You can order highball cocktails and also beers. A great little dinner location.
P. M.
The Japanese efficiency shines through. Very prompt service and really delicious meals! Side dishes fish cake, karaage and edamame is really nice and freshly made. Quality of beef and the way their grills are setup means that you don't have to come out smelling like barbeque. They have chicken, beef and pork which is really good for people who doesn't eat meat. They also have different kinds of drinks alcohol and non-alcoholic which are very refreshing. Good venue to catch up with big crowds.
Y. Y. ..
Good meat, was a little pricy. But overall a great place to have dinner, will come back. Always busy, better book in advance. Staff good, could improve.
M. C.
Finally reviewing after countless visits. Product offerings are what you would expect at a yakiniku restaurant. The price is quite affordable and I would suggest booking in advance to secure a table on weekends. There’s a 90 minute time limit and the dining area can be pretty cramped when at capacity.
a. z.
Don't (do) be trapped by the touch screen menu. Easy to carried away ordering delicious dish after dish. In saying that, the edamame with garlic and chilli was outstanding. Agadashi tofu was excellent. Enoki with beef tongue is worth a try. Scallops very creamy but very tasty. Shiitake with meat (entré) also great. Overall..... we kept ordering more and overall was very satisfied. Oh yeah...... the sake trolley came by and we couldn’t resist. Just saying!
C. (.
Only had lunch special there but quality and portion was good. Steak sirloin were tender and tasty. Really loved the boiled Motsuni dish (boiled beef innards). Great flavor and cooked to perfection. Will definitely come back to try the Yakiniku.
C. M.
My second time visited this place. What a great bvq in town. Ordered through iPad. All meats are delicious.
F.
Don’t be scared by the big queue as it’s huge inside. Lovely decor, easily fixes one’s cravings for JBBQ. Very quality meat and great service. Perfect to eat for single meat lover.
C. m. D.
Authentic, touch screen ordering, fast service and Amazing meat!
Booking on the weekends is a must if you dont want a long wait.
B. K.
An excellent and authentic Japanese BBQ experience with a vibrant atmosphere. We booked for a group of 6 and visited on a Monday night at 8pm. The tables are elongated, and this means you may have to share part of your table, but that was ok with us. The drinks menu had a variety of imported drinks at reasonable prices. For us, we ordered a couple rounds of Sapporo and tried the strawberry ice cream sour (was this alcoholic? Didn’t taste like it, was very easy drinking and enjoyable nonetheless). The main highlights of dinner were the beef boneless short rib, beef tongue, and the beef finger. These were amazingly tender and fatty. The pork belly and chicken thigh were mediocre, and probably would have been good had they not been overshadowed by the holy cow. For sides we opted for the buy 4 have 1 free, and had 2 salmon sashimi, 2 chicken karaage and 1 octopus karaage. These were alright. We will visit again and most likely stick to the beef items on the menu.
A. A.
Tasty food and fast service. Although the meat portions are a bit small. The cold noodle was very good
M. K.
One of my favourite Japanese bbq place. I've been there more than 5 times and the food tastes always fantastic. Service is nice and their ordering system is intuitive. They do often close earlier than google opening hour and don't explain it to the customer until they need us to leave. Their tap beer quality is average tho.
Q. V.
MUST TRY AT HERE!!!!! the japanese bbq tastes fabulous amongst with that is the friendly n helpful staff n the advance technology provided for u to order MUST TRY HEREEEE PLEASEEE!!!!
K.
Excellent Japanese BBQ restaurant!
I ate 5 times here for dinner and lunch, and their quality of food and service are always very good!
Actually their quality of meat is even better than average of Japanese BBQ restaurants in Japan.
I recommend this place to people would like to enjoy real Japanese BBQ.
Q.
Get quality when it comes to JBBQ
The highlights of this place was the speed of service and food quality. Their Ox Tongue isn't the usual thin slices that cooks in 1 second, and as such it holds a bit more flavour. The price is about $50pp, and although it is not a BBQ buffet place, I would dare say it is competitive to Suminoya that offers JBBQ buffet for $50-60pp. The interior is nice and friendly towards groups, but may not be the vibe you want for a private date. Cool note was that they chill their glasses so your drink doesn't warm too quick. Overall a nice place that is convenient to get to in the heart of the city.
B. M.
Very fine japanese restaurant.
Beef was soft and delicious.
Side dishes were perfect too!
Specially cold noodle.
C. P.
Surprised by how delicious the bbq here was. A very clean restaurant with fast paced service. We do recommend the boneless short ribs and the ox tongue for meat dishes! For side dishes, the sashimi was nice and fresh, however we don't recommend the deep fried ox tongue was kind of strange in texture.
정.
Lunch box was good. I think I’ll come back to here again. Don’t forget that lunch menu is until 3pm. We arrived there five to Three. But the customer service was good . If I get more rice , it ‘s gonna be very nice😊
S. T.
Restaurant outfit was amazing. I really felt like I was dining in a restaurant in a subway station somewhere in Tokyo. However, some of the serving sizes of the dishes we ordered were much less than pictured in the menu and the food lacked in flavour compared to other Japanese restaurants I have dined at in the same area. Disappointing experience.
V. H.
Beef short ribs taste good, wasabi beef a little chewy, ox tongue size irregular. Lunch set are valuable and serve are generous.
P. T.
I especially like the half open style which makes you feel you’re eating on a street restaurant. However, I have to say the food did not satisfy me very much. Some of them are way too salty and others are in lack of flavour. Beef tongue slices are not even which makes it hard to cook evenly. Pork tongues are fine.
E. L.
Authentic Japanese yakiniku. Nice place. People queue up before it’s opening. Lunch special is good value.
R. Y.
Best wagyu bbq restaurant is Aussie. We had amazing piece of A5 wagyu which is similar to Japan. From price point,his piece of ultra premium meat is also similar to Japan! How amazing is that!! Super recommended!
T. L.
Very enjoyable dinner. Good quality of meat, all the cuts were very soft, service was so prompt and quick. Ordering off a touch screen was simple and easy. Not cheap but worth the try. I would easily return
S. T.
One of the best Japanese yakiniku in town,very delicious and juicy meat,love it.
D. J.
Been there many times. Consistently fresh and authentic wagyu beef. FYI, tomato side dish is a must try.
E. S.
This is my 4th time here. Haven't disappointed me. The foods and service are good. Always try something different each time.
J. C.
Quick service during lunch. We had the lunch sets with soup and sashimi and salad and meat for $15-$20 each.:Food is a bit fast food like but for the price range it's good.
B. L.
Great yakiniku. Excellent service. Place order on tablet. Must try special premium beef cuts.
W. T.
Great Japanese barbecue place. Good quality beef and decently priced. Would be more perfect if they used charcoal.
A. L.
Food was incredibly delicious! Would go again!
N.
The quality of meat was stunning and tasted so good after the lockdown eased. Maybe also socialising made it different from just BBQ wagyu meat at home. It just good to be back!
w. c.
Nice variety of yakiniku dishes, also good range of side dishes to go with the yakiniku. Loved the okra tempura!
林.
Really nice food very fresh sashimi
Definitely come back again
K. L.
Price increased, but food quality same as before!
Still good!
D. T.
Been here a couple times and it's always been a good experience!! :D The food tasted great, customer service was good and the meat came out quickly! The downsides would be a long wait if you're coming in during busy hours, and perhaps the price is also a bit steep for the meat :/ However, the food is great so whatever :P Definitely a great spot for jbbq in the cbd!
K. W.
a very nice yakiniku place, good location
service is efficient and food in decent portion
a surprise in city
J. Y.
Great lunch menu with quite the variety, the side menu is also quite diverse but can be a little pricey considering ordering a little salad and scallop sashimi is the same price. But if you're there for the meat, taste wise you will not be disappointed.. portion wise, subjective is what i'll say.
One of the better japanese bbq in the sydney cbd area for sure. Would highly recommend after a long day of work.
J. A.
This is a fun little underground Japanese BBQ dining experience.
Easy to use menu ordering system with a large selection of meats and sides. This place has a great atmosphere with an authentic feeling to it.
b.
Tasty and beyond amazing.
D. L.
Everything was yum! Tender beef and fresh salad. Quick service too! Definitely coming back😊
P. C.
If you’re a meat lover, you must to try this place.
No smoke BBQ, awesome meat quality, unique Japanese sauce
W. S.
Nice service and clean , food was very delicious. Is best Japanese BBQ in Sydney
G. C.
One of my favourite restaurant in the city. Easy to order as they have the iPad on each table, also their restaurant is always clean. Friendly and easy to approach staff. Food is great, high quality beef indeed.
K.
Exquisite cuts of meat but generally a waiting time of 30 mins on weekends. Prices are a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Staff are nice and offer discounts for cash payments.
Y. G.
The quality of the meat is good
C. (.
Had a good time. Service was quick. Ordering was easy.
Food is delicious. Tho in small portions, it is a japanese place where each meat selection is delicate portioning with delicious meats to grill to your own liking.
M. C.
OMG!!! It’s way beyond DELICIOUS!!! I don’t know what to say. LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! You got a new regular customer !!!
S.
Nice ambience.
Price is good but portion not that big.
Love the wasabi marinated beef, special and tasty. Ordered pork intestine as well but a bit hard to chew, maybe need to cook longer?
An iPad on every table makes the order very easy, and the serving is fast.
It will be great if the staffs can be more hospitable.
H. L.
Food is really good and I love matcha beer a lot!! But bit pricey. Will come back for a special event. You may need to book before because this restaurant is always busy
D. H.
One of the best yakiniku I’ve ever tried in Sydney. Loved the pork neck and the premium ox tongue. Definitely a must try for all meat lovers out there! Combined that with some good Japanese liquors to make your day
R. T.
Decent. My favourite is the pork neck. Best to book beforehand as they are busy even at lunchtime.
R. G.
The good stuff: Their BBQ meats are mostly good quality, especially the premium wagyu short-rib though a bit expensive but worth the price. The ox-tongues are good also. The dipping sauces are great, I love them all. The tablet ordering system is efficient and easy to navigate the extensive menu. Services and ambience are reasonable.
Not so good stuff: Long queue, should try to make a reservation to avoid this problem. Pork neck meat is a bit tough and dry. The place is a bit tight due to seating arrangement and hard to eat in such small space especially with limited seating time of 90 minutes in the weekend. They use gas fuel for BBQ while I prefer other Japanese / Korean BBQ which uses charcoal for better BBQ aroma.
J. G.
One of the best Japanese bbq restaurant near the Town Hall area, meats are fresh and good quality and with a wide range of options to choose from, service is fast and efficient, the restaurant takes reservation which saves waiting time during peak lunch hours!
H. N.
Meat was great! Love the ox tongue!!!
But alcohol beverage (we ordered plum sour and high ball) was so disappointing😭 tasted so weird like plastic, not sweet or sour at all😭
Side dishes were ok
S. H.
Food is really good. High quality meat, would be nicer if the meat is more well marinated. I enjoy the siDe dish selections, kani yukke was cool! Price is reasonable too, and comfy sitting. Will be back again to try the lunch :)
H. W.
One of the best Japanese restaurant outside of Japan! Very impressed with the food and service, they even managed not to screw up the rice which seems to be the theme in Auckland no matter where you go. The food tastes great too with pretty authentic flavours.
Prepare to Q for this!
S. K.
Had dinner here last night with my 3 brothers and a great feed and experience. Food was tasty, service nice, quick and friendly and love the iPad self ordering idea ... makes it really easy to add more dishes / drinks as you require without having to call a waiter.
Will definitely be back.
Q. L.
The fair price of such good quality wagyu is worth to having dinner at the place. I really like the vibe of drinking and eating Japanese style grill meal.
H. L.
Amazing food and drinks. This yakiniku restaurant reminds me of dining in Japan. their meat is highly quality and fresh, and the side dishes are delicious. can tell that the owner is running the business with passion. will definitely go there again !
M. P.
Great japanese restaurant with variety of dishes on the menu. Staff are attentive enough. The space is quite cramped though and the serving size a bit small, but tasted awesome.
J.
A lovely Japanese bbq to have gathering service was Swift, relaxed ambiance, price is reasonable, but the food is in small quantities. In all is good 🌟.
J. H.
Love love love it, addictive to the BBQ here. Reasonable price for good amount of meat. I find it better than Korean BBQ. Terribly miss it because I have moved to Canberra, how I wish they open one in Canberra.
K. L.
Bbq meat is very reasonably priced, quality is fine. Staff is fine
S. W. Z.
The food is amazing. The sashimi we ordered was quite fresh. The service we received was excellent. Our female waitress was very friendly and attentive. Price was reasonable and good value too. Quite convenient as only few minutes walk from Town Hall station. Will definitely come here again.
Y. M.
Lunch was reasonable and tasty!!!
Rice was nice and soft!
C. C.
Love the food!! Amazing price with good quantity and range of food. I recommend the lunch sets as they are affordable and delicious. Would come here again!!!
J. W.
Our first time here.
The boneless short rib set lunch is delicious, the meat is cooked just right, medium rare. Try their Motsuni, the texture and the spiciness is spot on. The salmon and tuna sashimi is reasonable.
A five star rating if water is provided in bottle/jug instead of just one small cup per person.
We'll be back to try other choices.
L. L. (. L.
Set lunch is worth it. The boneless beef short ribs is decent. The rice was not well cooked but the ribs go well with the rice. Soup is too salty though.
The set up of the restaurant is great
G. 1.
You know a yakiniku place is good when 9/10 times we have come, Japanese-speaking customers are seated next to us! Great selection of beers, amazingly juicy meats, a good range of of melt-in-your-mouth wagyu, freshening sashimi salads and the best atmosphere/decor of any yakiniku restaurant in all of Sydney! This is my new go-to place for Japanese BBQ!
V. A.
As the name said, a hidden gem. Nice place to have a decent barbecue. The meat quality does not disappoint. A place worth to visit.
D. K.
Food is great here. Price is quite reasonable as well especially considering prime location, considering yakiniku places around Sydney can get quite costly. Definitely recommend the intestine/offal platter, I can get full over just eating that.
Place can get quite busy so expect to wait for a bit during peak times, though.
I. L.
Tucked in the basement level of Regents place, nice little Japanese BBQ, or yakiniku as it is known in Japanese. The meat cuts are nicely marinated and very tender and juicy on bbq. Attentive service. And we came out without any traces or smell of smoke! Amazing!
C. K.
Very nice, reminds me of places I visited in Tokyo. Had the boneless beef short ribs and pork cheek.
T.
Food
Good quality meat, generous serving, rice again good quality but a bit dry, soup and salad tasty but perhaps too salty for some. Salad seemed to have been dressed using one of the meat sauces. We’ve noticed that each cut of meat was rather inconsistent in thickness, making it difficult to cook evenly. Rengaya/Suminoya/Koh-ya does best at cutting their meats at an even thickness by partly freezing them first. Sauce consisted of processed lemon juice which ruined the taste of the ox tongue, giving it an artificial, detergent-like aftertaste. The other two sauces were spicy? Sweet? In other words, not so memorable.
Soy-based marinade sweet but not much flavour otherwise, Miso marinade so sweet/strong that made my blood-sugar level go through the roof. I personally prefer the sauces/marinades of Kashiwa Yakiniku in Crows Nest and the tasty salt marinade of Nikaido Neutral bay.
Service
Friendly and polite although it was very hard to catch the attention of the waitress as we were sitting on the far end of the restaurant, even though the place was relatively quiet during lunchtime. Perhaps invest in a calling buzzer? Waitresses should double check their order to minimise errors.
Ambience
Lovely decor and clean interior. However, the music was a never-ending loop of a koto-arranged Ghibli soundtrack which irritated me a bit. Would’ve liked a bit more repertoire outside ghibli. There is more to like about traditional Japanese music.
Conclusion
A satisfying lunch with a generous serving of excellent quality meat but I’d rather BYO my own Ebara yakiniku sauce.
A. G.
Absolutely loved everything. The staff was really nice :))
F. D.
Remember that last time you stepped back on the plane leaving japan, hoping you’ll be back as soon as possible. Then look no further, Yakiniku Yokocho bring a little bit of japan to YOU right here in Sydney! With imported decoration and an vending machines with Japanese drinks it doesn’t get any better than that! Make sure you try out their matcha beer 🤣
The BBQ has a HUGE selection of meats and side dishes with plenty for seating with a big group or an intimate BBQ with your partner. Our favourites were the boneless beef short rib, beef outside skirt, beef rib marinated in wasabi, pork neck, pork rib, beef flap.. we could honestly eat everything on the menu! Everything we had was amazing quality and a perfect cut with reasonable serving sizes.
🆕🆕Don’t forgot to check out the Lunch menu that has now launched, with amazing sets starting from $15.80, it will have you very satisfied with the variety of options that each set comes with. All lunch sets come with rice, suimono soup, salad, sashimi and a free soft drink!
G. K. (.
Great food, beautiful sitting arrangements and awesome ambience.
T. T. S.
Really nice meat (good quality). Unfortunately had to pay for side dishes (unlike KBBQ) so didn’t get any, but the meat is worth it. Doesn’t get your clothes too smelly either
A. M.
A stunning and beautiful Japanese restaurant that showcases the yakiniku yokocho Japanese style of grilled cuisine. A well setup restaurant, with an impressive atmosphere as if you're entering a Japanese alleyway. Very polite and friendly staff, fast service with an impressive menu serving everything from sushi, sashimi to grilled meat. They also serve sake and umeshu. Bustling and jovial atmosphere with delicious food and very affordable.
S. C. (.
One of the best BBQ in Sydney. The pricing is fair and the service was excellent even though place was mad busy!
M. K.
A decent lunch place in Regent place. A group of three enjoyed 3 lunch set menu items plus extra two plates of meat for under $90.
Service was good, trendy atmosphere and the meat was good.
N. S.
One of the favourite Japanese BBQ places. Great atmosphere and really nice food. And always take advantage of ordering 4 sides to get the 5th free to enjoy the sashimi.
D. C.
The meat is pretty good and tasty,and staff is very friendly 😊
S. Y.
Great place for JBBQ. Customer service is not amazing as staff are usually too busy doing whatever but nonetheless the lunch deals are great

A fun place to eat bbq, u order it through ipad. Just curious why we have to pay for new griller rack. Normally it changed when it need to. But anyway, the meat are really nice and perfect portion i believe (well for me)
I. H.
Japanese bbq. Good food and great value. Only complaint is they don’t replace the grill plate unless you’re willing to pay $2.
I. L.
Very authentic Japanese BBQ restaurant. Great vibe, awesome for groups, huge selection of meats and sides and a premium range of cuts worthy to be called "Wagyu". Great place to catch up with mates over a Japanese draught beer on-tap.
L. Y.
Nice vibes, food is okay, not the best for its price

Boneless beef short ribs and ox tongue is 10/10 I love the yakiniku. Tried chicken karage but not really nice but everything else bbq recommended
A. F.
Fantastic meal, good service, just weird children music and need more soft drinks options. Everything is pretty much calpis water with something else.
MEAT QUALITY IS GOOD AND CHEAP.
L. D.
Loved the authentic japanese bbq experience with premium quality cuts of meat. Service was swift and staff were friendly. Would definitely return for more !

A great place for family dinner, my kids very enjoy cooking their own food. Must try boneless short rib and outside skirt. Side dish I love takowasabi and shiodare cucumber. Also scallop sashimi and shellfish sashimi. Will definitely come back.
V. C.
I’m a regular visitor here and have a great experience each time. Staff are kind and courteous, meat quality is great and the sides are fair in size. Will keep coming back!!

Good place for yakiniku and meat is pretty tasty. Service is alright but only refills water when you specifically ask them to. Otherwise good place.

Good selection of meats.
Recommend booking early as the waiting times can be long

A nice change from all the Japanese all you can eat BBQ. Good selection of meats and side dishes without the feeling of needing to stuff yourself for your moneys worth.

Nice decor and ambiance but the food was a letdown. Too small in quantity with such a high price. Not worth the price. Good for a first time experience.

Really nice JBBQ restaurant which isn't AYCE unfortunately. I really like the decor and vibe of the place. There are even Japanese vending machines outside which take Aus coins!

Serving is too small, price is too high but it tastes pretty good. BBQ meat has a lot of fat.

It's great to have a large intestine to choose from! Although it will cook the whole thing🔥The meat is not expensive and the quality is good, but there are few types of seafood and less seafood. The fried chicken skin with grapefruit sauce tastes like bean skin 🙁 The service staff has a very good attitude

有大腸可以選很棒!雖然會整個發爐🔥肉不貴品質也不錯但總類很少海鮮更少,炸物柚汁雞皮吃起來像豆皮🙁服務人員態度很好

(Translated) it's delicious. I ordered a lunch menu, but it cost $ 20 more than I thought. Including drinks. The meat is really soft and the sauce is delicious and well seasoned. It's a little expensive.
I will add some more meat here and I can go to Japanese Yakiniku buffet.
It is not a complete Japanese sensibility but a Korean owner.
Most Japanese restaurants have lots of roots run by Koreans. It is not wrong, but Korean people rather than Japanese invest more in taste of food and seek profit. I like to eat a lot of rice. If you want to eat alone, it seems to be here. The taste of meat is all the same.
I prefer this kind of service and clean place
(Original)
맛있어요. 점심메뉴를 시켰는데 생각보다 비쌈 20불. 음료포함. 고기 진짜 부드럽고 소스도 맛있게 잘 양념되어있네요. 약간비싼게 흠.
여기서 고기 먹을바엔 조금더 보태서 일본식 야키니쿠 고기뷔페 갈수 있겠네요.
완전한 일본 감성은 아니고 한국오너인듯.
대부분의 일본 레스토랑이 한국인이 운영하는롯이 많아요. 잘못된건 아닌데 일본사람보다는 한국 사람이 조금더 음식맛에 투자하지 않고 이익을 추구하는편. 혼밥먹기 좋아요 대부분 혼밥이고 세트구성이 좋아요. 혼자라도 잘 먹고 싶으신분 여기서 드심될듯. 고기맛은 뭐 다 비슷하니깐.
이렇게 서비스 좋고 깨끗한 곳을 전 선호함

(Translated) The service is good, the quality of roasted meat is high (but there are few options and no seafood), and the serving speed is fast!

服務不錯,燒肉品質高(但是選項少也沒什麼海鮮),上菜速度很快!

(Translated) The barbecue is delicious
But ordered CHICKEN KARAAGE.
It's overkill. Charred overcooked
Respond to the service staff. The kitchen uses the meat that was originally burnt to re-wrap the flour and return to the fryer.

烤肉很好吃
但是點了CHICKEN KARAAGE。
炸過頭了。燒焦了overcooked
跟服務人員反應. 廚房用原本焦掉的肉重新裹粉回炸出單.

(Translated) It’s delicious, the waiter’s smile is very kind.
Two people eat 70 yuan is not full but very satisfied
Beef tongue, cow's five flowers, pig's neck, cow's cross-cut
One person eats OK too
The biggest problem is really not spending $2 on the net.

好吃😋服務員的笑容很親切
兩個人吃70元不飽卻很滿足
牛舌、牛五花、豬頸、牛橫隔👍🏻
一個人吃也OK

(Translated) As there are many types of meat, it was good to eat a lot. I want to use it again.
It is a harami that feels sweet sweet fat moderately
Best beef bowl.

お肉の種類が豊富なので、たくさん食べられて良かったです。また利用したいと思います。
ほどよい甘み脂を感じるハラミです
牛横膈膜最好吃。

(Translated) I did not know whether the criteria for meat was raised because I went to a meat processing company in Korea. The water quality was not good. Or can not you ...? The price is too expensive, I would rather go to the IGA in front of the house with this money and buy a beef and eat the steak.
(Original)
한국에서 육가공회사를 다녀서 내가 고기에 대한 평가기준이 높아진 건지는 모르겠는데. 고기질이 좋지않았음. 아니면 못구운건가..? 가격도 너무 비싸고 차라리 이 돈으로 집앞에 IGA가서 소고기 한덩이사서 스테이크 먹는게 훨씬 만족도 높을듯.

(Translated) Back when things were normal we walked by and heard people speaking Italian inside. This is obviously a good sign and I made a note for next time I was craving pizza. The time has come and DOC Pizza did not disappoint. This type of pie is not as suited for takeout but it was still fantastic. Looking forward to when we can sit down and eat it fresh out of the oven. Che bella!

It was time and DOC Pizza did not disappoint. This cake is not suitable to take away but it is still great. Looking forward when we can sit down and eat it fresh out of the oven. Che bella!

Quay lại khi mọi thứ bình thường, chúng tôi đi ngang qua và nghe thấy mọi người nói tiếng Ý bên trong. Đây rõ ràng là một dấu hiệu tốt và tôi đã ghi chú cho lần tiếp theo tôi thèm pizza. Đã đến lúc và DOC Pizza đã không làm mọi người thất vọng. Loại bánh này không phù hợp để mang đi nhưng nó vẫn tuyệt vời. Nhìn về phía trước khi chúng ta có thể ngồi xuống và ăn nó mới ra khỏi lò. Che bella!

(Translated) The quality of the meat is very good
Especially recommend beef tongue👍🏾
It is recommended to order thinly sliced meat here
The slightly thicker meat is really grilled for too long
The pig intestines are also roasted for a long time
But it still has a slightly heavy smell and it doesn’t bite too badly
Actually they taste pretty good
But the price is a bit expensive
ㄧPlate of meat over $10 is really a small plate
But the attitude of the waiter is also very good
Ordering is also convenient
The taste is good and the service is good, which is a plus point for this store
It is recommended to reserve seats during popular times
Otherwise, like when we first came, we would have to wait for almost an hour
(Original)
肉的品質非常好
尤其推薦牛舌👍🏾
建議到這裡點薄片的肉
稍微厚一點的肉真的烤太久了
豬大腸也是烤很久很久
但是還是有略重的腥味 而且咬不太爛
其實味道都蠻好的
只是價格有點小貴
ㄧ盤肉$10以上 真的就是小小一盤
不過服務生的態度也非常好
點餐也方便 每桌桌上都有平板可以自行點餐 而且很快就送到了
味道好 服務好 是這間店很加分的地方
熱門時段建議要訂位
不然像我們第一次來那時候就將近要等待1小時
