Reviews of Japanese B.B.Q. Yoshi
"Very enjoyable experience we had. The servers were amazing they even educate us about what we were eating. A truly hidden gem in Honolulu."
"I don't write many reviews, but I had to review Japanese BBQ Yoshi because it was the best restaurant experience I've had in Hawai'i in quite a while. First off, the boring stuff. Do you need a reservation? We had a 5:00 reservation for our visit on NYE but the restaurant was only about half full. However, it's not a huge place so a reservation is probably recommended. Also, their parking lot only has 9 marked spaces, so plan accordingly. There were three of us, so we split the Wagyu Set Menu (which is intended for two people) and added on a Washugyu Sampler Plate. That was more than enough food for us. The starters included assorted kim chee, a green salad, nori, beef bao buns, soup, and a plate that included potato salad, seasoned broccoli fllorets, and pickled vegetables. Everything was light, fresh, tasty, and not too heavy (which is important, considering the amount of meat we had coming). We opted for the beef tongue over the pork belly and the miso scallops over the garlic shrimp. Both were excellent choices and the beef tongue was SUPER tender, while the scallops were flavorful with a perfect texture - not mushy or rubbery. Side note on the grill: you grill your own meat, so you have to carefully balance cooking and eating. Wagyu and Washugyu cook very quickly due to the high fat content, and the thinner cuts will cook extremely fast - the staff advised that thin cuts should be seared for only about 8-10 seconds per side. Tip: don't put too many pieces on the grill at once, otherwise you risk overcooking your beautiful Wagyu! Also, the grill is nonstick so it doesn't have to be replaced; the staff will occasionally wipe it down to keep it clean. The meat itself was amazing! Super tender and melts in your mouth like butter. The cuts arrived lightly seasoned and three dipping sauces were provided. My favorite was the sesame oil based sauce with salt and pepper. There was also a thin cut of Wagyu where, per staff instructions, you grill it, add green onions and garlic chips, then roll it up and pop it in your mouth. Soooo 'ono! There was so much food that we completely skipped the noodle course, which was cold soba. The staff packed it up for us to take home. The fact that they were prepared to pack up the soba tells you that they know how much food they give you! Finally... dessert. Two desserts are provided with the set menu so we went with sorbet and the S'mores cheesecake. The cheesecake was very heavy and very rich, but I can't resist chocolate and house-made desserts! Along with the food, what really made this an unforgettable experience was the staff. All the staff were friendly and super helpful. They were attentive, checking on us every so often and making sure that our water and tea were full. Plus they also provided clear explanations and instructions for cooking so that everything came out delicious! Japanese BBQ Yoshi is not cheap, but it is most definitely worth the money. While we were there, several of the other guests were greeted warmly and recognized as repeat customers - always a good sign about an establishment. I hope to become a repeat visitor myself!"
"No words can explain the feeling of eating wagyu meat and it melting in your mouth like butter. The meat selection here and service are both excellent. All of the sides were great as well. I highly recommend the yuzu jelly desert. And yes, it's pricy, but well worth then experience."
"Sean and Andy are so awesome! They make everyone feel like VIPs! They are so friendly, hospitable, and always on top of things! Our glasses were always full, our food was brought out in a timely manner and we never had to ask for anything! They helped us navigate the menu and everything was delicious!!!"
"Incredible Japanese Barbeque! We had here an incredible dinner. I definitely recommend this restaurant! High-quality service, the wide selection of of different cuts of meat and pleasant atmosphere will leave you satisfied! We ordered Wagyu Sampler, Pork Jowl with Wasabi and Washugyu Steak. The meat was tender, soft and juicy, and their homemade wasabi and all sauces really went well with meat. We also ordered Bibimbap, it was crispy, spicy and delicious. And their chocolate marshmallow cheesecake had an interesting texture, it was very chocolate and tasty!"
