Good self cooked BBQ. Meat quality is good. The cold noodle as recommended on the menu were disappointing, very fatty beef, could see solidified beef fat floating on the soup, not very appealing. 5% discount if paid by cash.

Extensive choices with good quality meat. Went with the sirloin and prime short rib and they were both worth it. Chicken skin was also a fave side

This place is as close as it gets to real Japanese yakiniku in Sydney I’d say 99% identical. If you’re coming here, skip the marinated beef tongue and go straight for the premium beef tongue. It’s on a completely different level. incredibly tender, rich, and full of flavour. it’s on the pricier side, but every bite was worth it. An extremely satisfying meal and an experience I’d happily repeat.

Yakiniku Yokocho is easily one of the best Japanese BBQ spots in Sydney!!! The wagyu really fresh and great dipping sauces too! Drinks menu is great too Overall, a fun dining experience with amazing food and great service. Highly recommend if you’re craving quality Japanese BBQ.

Had an amazing time here. The meats were incredibly tasty. The marination was spot on and full of flavour. Honestly, much better than typical K-BBQ meats. Service was super fast; the food came out almost immediately after ordering. Highly recommend for anyone craving quality Japanese BBQ!

Really good atmosphere and a popular place that you often need to wait to be seated for! In terms of food options, I actually felt like there were limited types of meats but a lot of different veges available. The meat did seem to be relatively high quality but I do feel like it was missing something. Overall, good atmosphere, decent food and pretty good service. The prices are a bit higher than other places but it is probably higher quality??

It was like walking into an izakaya in Japan. I loved the vibe of the place! Great selection of meats and seafood. Our favourite was the premium wagyu short rib. Fatty, tender and melt in your mouth goodness! We arrived at 12.30 on a Saturday and it wasn't so busy if you plan to come without a reservation this time would be best. It gets busy around 1pm. We made a reservation as there is 6 of us. The dinner reservation options at the time I booked was only limited to 5.30pm and 8.30. So if you want to do dinner on a Saturday make sure you book in advance. Great place to enjoy with kids too! Looking forward to our next visit.

Best asian bbq in sydney. We went each day for the 4 days we had spent in Sydney. Very friendly staff and fast service. Food was delicious and we‘ve had plenty of it without it being too expensive. The atmosphere was great and the place is air conditioned.
