Manmaruya Japanese BBQ Restaurant 497 King Georges Road, Beverly Hills, New South Wales 2209

"Good food and great service, but just know the portions are small- the meat is super tender and well marinated, but there's not a lot- photos are an example only! Expect to order a little more =)"

"Do not bother going here. The Korean bbq meat is incredibly overpriced for the portions you get. I spent over $100 as the hotpot and bbq set was so small that I ended up needing to order a sushi platter in order to be full. Really overpriced and the hygiene of the restaurant is also very suspect. The menu you receive is not only sticky by incredibly smelly. It has that typical old wet mop smell you will recognise if you have done any cleaning work before in the past. I have no idea how this place has an average rating of over 3 stars yet alone 4 stars. Maybe when this restaurant was new and had a better owner/staff? Either ways, avoid this place and save yourself the disappointment. For $50/pp, there are a lot of better alternatives nearby."

"This is a well-priced Japanese BBQ restaurant where you can put your cooking skills to the test. There is no all-you-can-eat option here, you basically order as you go. My recommendation would be to go with a set meal as the foundation, then order individual items. If you don't feel like BBQ, you can just order readily made meals like sushi, sashimi and other hot food. Overall, the kids really enjoyed the cooking experience and the meat was decent for its price. Service-wise, the only issue was that the meat platter took a good 30 minutes to show up without much communication from the staff."

"I came here a few times and I have noticed that they've made significant changes with their ordering system - QR code to order online. Very quick and easy system, and you can order whenever you want. It's honestly great. The prices are on the expensive side but the portions are generous. I love their bento combos which includes sushi, sashimi, salad with seaweed, kimichi radish, vegetables for the BBQ, miso soup and rice. Their meat selections is quite vast and marinated. The wagyu meats are expensive but definitely worth a try. We also ordered their beef bibimbap which was good but wasn't expectional - I wouldn't order it again. Side note: they have very limited parking which can be a pain when it's busy."

"When we hungry folks were scouting out a good place for dinner along the streets of Beverley Hills, we decided to try out barbecue and we left with not a drop left of meat or disappointment. We were assigned to a table near the open window which we were unsure at first, but as the night went on, the seating placement was absolutely perfect for us. The smoke from the barbecue filters out the window and allows breathing room, my gratitude to the architect there. I also give my thanks to the delicious food at Manmaruya. While service can be hot and cold, it doesn't distract from the ingredients being the centre of attention. We ordered a Manmaruya Yakiniku plate and a Short Rib bento which both came relatively quickly. I can definitely say that the high price points for the banquets are justified, considering the bountiful amount of food that comes with each. All three of us were satisfied and beaming with glee at the end of the meal. The bento possesses a great variety of both barbecue and ready-to-eat foods to pass the time while waiting for the meat to cook. Their marinated short ribs are immaculate with the divine mixture of sweet and pepper that permeates throughout the juicy meat. All the ingredients are fresh with top-notch quality, each bite being a flavourful intermission between lively conversations. I would recommend bookings for dinner as the restaurant becomes very popular once the sun sets. So bring your friends along to the feast or if you're on your lonesome, treat yourself to Manmaruya's cure for sadness: Barbecue."
