Given that the place is a Japanese restaurant, it’s already an open secret that they uphold a culture of excellence and it prides itself in their food and service.
Yakiniku is the Japanese word for grilled meat. The Japanese way of grilling meat with minimum seasoning allows the natural flavor of beef or pork to come out. Most of the time, it only consists of a pinch of salt, squeeze by lemon, and a splash of “tare” (dipping sauce) after the meat has been grilled.

They also shared that their ingredients are purchased every day to ensure the quality and freshness of their food, especially the meat and fish.
Yakiniku Seoul’s sashimi is an exquisite experience in every bite. Leveraging the freshness of the fish, you’ll immediately savor the superiority of their offerings. You can choose from their crowd favorites such as tuna and salmon or you can go with their classics such as ika and tako.
