Yakiya

"It's been a while since I visited Yakiya, but the memories of that fantastic dining experience still linger. From the moment we arrived, we were promptly seated, a testament to their efficiency. I was particularly impressed with how quickly the staff ensured tables were cleaned between plates. The kitchen team deserves special mention too, as they kept the scrumptious dishes coming without any unnecessary delay. The star of the evening was, of course, the meat. Each cut was not only delicious but also richly flavored, a testament to their meticulous preparation. The presentation was nothing short of artistic, a feast for the eyes as much as for the palate. While the essence of the dishes was deeply rooted in Japanese culinary traditions, I was pleasantly surprised by the subtle touches of Korean fusion in some. It added an unexpected, yet delightful twist."

"This is a prix fixe Japanese restaurant, focused on high-quality beef. My husband and I came here for an anniversary dinner and it blew us away. The drinks, the service, the presentation, the flavors, all exceptional. I lost count of the courses, and all were served promptly. I loved all the food, but some special standouts were the steak tartare, bone marrow fried rice, and A5 wagyu (grilled at your table!) with poached egg dip. They also gave us for our anniversary: a free cocktail, a custom-stamped cookie with our sorbet, and a personalized menu to take home. So, I highly recommend this restaurant for a special occasion dinner! Overall, an unforgettable evening!"

"The meal and the experience was great. We been to other places with a set menu like Kato and Maude and those meals were 3-4 hours long. Yakiya we were done within 1.5 hours. The food was very good and the beef selections were amazing! Super soft and well seasoned. The one thing that I wish I did is asked for a fresh plate before they served the beef. We had the tomato dish before the beef and the sauce then was all over the beef. The residual sauce ruined the flavor of the beef. Other than that, it was a fantastic meal."

"This is the first time I came here recommended by a friend. Booking 3 days in advance is a joke because there are no seats at all when you arrive on time. There are many empty seats and the waitress just doesn’t arrange and finds 10,000 reasons to keep you waiting. The service is very poor. When the waitress introduced the dishes, she spoke very quickly and whether you understood it or not, it was like an endorsement in class. The dining environment is very noisy, and you can't hear you talking softly with friends. The beef is a bit dry, only the last Japanese wagyu beef in the set meal is delicious, the rest of the American beef is really mediocre."

"Excellent quality of meats. Full of flavors. Bone marrow fried rice was mouth watering. All dishes paired complimented each other. All servers we encountered were friendly and knowledgeable Worth the time and cost."
