Makes USA BBQ look like TRASH HIGHLY Recommend Get the wagu it is godly and the cold noodles are a must have. -COKESO_YT

We made a reservation for Sunday for 5 people for 6:30. Surprisingly a lot of reservations were opened but around 7ish, the restaurant was completely full. So definitely make a reservation ! We got the Memorial Day Special Platter for $210 and also the special wagyu 200g for $115. We also ordered the bibimbap, salad, shishito peppers, mushrooms and beef tartare. Great service but it got busy so there was less attention from the staff to cook for us. We had to keep asking for water refills. Our waiter really knew the meats and was able to tell us which sauce would go well and if the meat were fatty/more tender. Great meal and nice atmosphere! A bit chilly so bring a sweater. On the bougie side so def a hefty bill!

Blown away. I have no other words to describe this experience. We came by train from DC and even though we had a 1:00pm reservation, we dropped by at noon to see if they could accommodate us. If not, did you see that bar?! So much sake!!! And the prices are relatively fair for it. Anyways, they were able to accommodate us and the servers were so sweet and kind. We got a bottle of sake to share (at first, our main male server was suggesting the carafe since he saw we were two women, BUT we can throw down) and then we got the dragon kalbi, yukhoe, treasure box, a5 assortment nigiri, and assorted kimchi. Dragon kalbi (4 stars): flavours were delicious with the marinade of being not too sweet, but had the right balance of salt, sweet, and umami. However, it's just like other kalbi, just a unique shape with the knife cuts. Wagyu assortment nigiri (4.5 stars): 3 pieces of nigiri with one piece topped with ikura; one with uni; and one plain. The meat is tender and flavourful and the toppings went so well with the meat. My only critique is that the uni was form Maine, so it didn't have as much depth of flavour as those from Hokkaido. Yukhoe (4 stars): this came with Bosch pear, but the marinade was a tad too sweet. We also wished they would give us some nori to make wraps. Meat quality was excellent though. Overall, if they had some nori and slightly tweak the marinade, it would be perfect. Yukhoe uni ikura spoon (4.5 stars): same yukhoe meat, but it also had salty and buttery uni with fresh ikura. The balance in this dish was better, so it was better blend of salt, umami, and sweet. Treasure box of rice, uni, and A5 wagyu (5 stars): divine, decadent, and sublime. The waiter mixes it for you table side and they added fresh wasabi for an added kick. You have a perfect blend of buttery fat from the wagyu; sweetness from the marinade; salt from the uni; and a bit of spice and freshness from the wasabi. I would definitely recommend this one for a bit of carb and meat. Bathroom-- a very strange thing to review, but it had heated toilets and they even had mouth wash. It had soft nature music and everything was cleaned to the smallest cracks. Very much appreciated. Everything from the service to the food was superb. This find was a gem for our trip and we are so excited to come back!

4.5 / 5.0 - I'd had Yakiniku Futago on my list for ages and finally came for lunch yesterday with a friend. I didn't even know they were open for lunch until recently and I'm guessing it's not widely known because it wasn't super busy. It is on the pricier side, but was so worth it. For lunch, they have Regular and 1/2 size. The Regular is double the price of the 1/2 size and comes with 8 slices of meat--the 1/2 size comes with 4. My friend and I decided to get one of each, so we could each have 6 slices. In addition to the BBQ, they had rice sets and other "add-on's" like soup and salad, as well as other appetizer dishes and "beef sushi." We ordered: - 1 Prime Short Rib (Kalbi) / Regular ($30+) - 1 Prime Short Rib (Kalbi) / 1/2 ($15+) - 2 Rice Sets ($5+ each) - 1 Japanese Style Cold Noodles ($8+) The regular size is served with salad, and the rice set included Japanese steamed rice, bone marrow egg soup and namul. Everything was so delicious and the meat just melted in our mouths. It is a spacious restaurant and the tables were spaced out, which was nice. And there is good ventilation right above the grill, so it didn't get smokey at all. $40+ is a bit expensive for lunch, especially for the amount of food you get, but it is high quality meat. If you love yakiniku and have never been, I highly recommend you give it a try!

Wow!! I came here randomly because I saw the lunch menu and my car was parked right in front. The service was phenomenal. The server was helpful, attentive and didn't rush me at all even when I walked in when the kitchen was almost closing. Truthfully, he was one of the greatest servers and the reason why I would be back. The kids do not like meat, but this was the first place they requested more meat and ate the food quickly. Their garlic fried rice was very flavorful, the kids started to fight over it. In general, a great spot to try and definitely a step up above the traditional AYCE BBQ. If you want to come out here to try something different, this is the place to go!

If you're looking to splurge your wallet on one of the best quality A5 Japanese wagyu in NYC, Yakiniku is the spot! This was highly recommended by a colleague of mine and I'm glad I took his word for it. For a party of 3, we went a little overboard I must say haha but no regrets because the first bite of wagyu will send you straight to heaven and back. The quality was superb and beef literally melts in your mouth like butter. My favorite was definitely the 10-sec beef where the server lightly grills the beef and coats it with egg wash *chefs kiss* TREASURE BOX IS A MUST. I'm not a wagyu enthusiast or anything because it does get pretty heavy after a while... but no worries just to chase it down with some matcha tiramisu :)

Came here during restaurant week this year with my boyfriend and we ordered the: - Egg soup - Option 1 (harami, pork kalbi) - Option 2 (short rib, jidori chicken) - Garlic rice - Dessert (matcha tiramisu) If you've never been to KBBQ or JBBQ, be prepared as you will be grilling your own meat at your table. One thing to note - strangely, we had to ask for the restaurant week menu when we came here (usually restaurants will give this to you alongside their regular menu). Other than that, everything was pretty tasty but the standout by far was their garlic rice. My boyfriend and I inhaled this as soon as it came to our table - would absolutely recommend adding this to your order. Portions for the meat are certainly on the lighter side (I think it was about 3 pieces per meat) but considering it was $30 per person, definitely worth it. Staff was pleasant and quick with our orders. Unsure if I would come here any time soon to try their regular menu considering their prices but would be open to it.
