Located about a 9-10 minute walk from Omotesando towards Hiroo, this yakiniku restaurant is situated just before the Takiguchicho intersection.I opted for the smallest course, but I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portions and high quality, leaving me very satisfied.◼️ Appetizers: Assorted Kimchi, Assorted Namul ◼️ Cold Dishes: Two Types of Today's Beef Sashimi, Yukhoe ◼️ Salad: Today's Salad ◼️ Grilled with Salt: Heart, Premium Tongue, Premium Outside Skirt ◼️ Grilled...

I visited Yoroniku for the first time as a birthday gift from my wife.It was a restaurant I had wanted to try for a long time, and I requested to go there. True to its reputation for "changing the concept of yakiniku and creating a new trend," everything was of outstanding quality, and the staff's hospitality was exceptional.The innovative style of having staff grill the meat, which many restaurants have adopted now, and the prompt serving of popular cuts like the silk loin, truly deserve high praise...

I visited the renowned yakiniku restaurant "Yoroniku" located in Minami-Aoyama. The elegant and tranquil atmosphere makes it perfect for special occasions or dates.The meat is cooked to perfection for each cut, allowing you to leave everything to the chef, which is a delightful aspect. Each piece is tender, and you can truly savor the sweetness of the fat and the richness of the lean meat.

I made a reservation for a course and visited on Saturday at 5 PM. I arrived right on time, but there was a long line of reservation guests. The staff grilled the meat for us, allowing us to focus on our meal and conversation, which was wonderful. The flavors were outstanding, especially the yukhoe, silk loin, and truffle sukiyaki. I’d love to come back, but I can’t visit too often! Haha.

The Yakiniku restaurant "Yoroniku" in Omotesando is known for being fully booked. By August 2026, it seemed the hype had calmed down a bit, as they mentioned, "We have availability in private rooms even on Fridays."This time, I was hosting guests from overseas (Vietnam). Since Vietnam is a country with a strong food culture, simply serving sushi or Japanese cuisine wouldn’t impress them as much, and they wouldn’t be as thrilled about the cost performance.So, I inquired about their preferences...

A yakiniku restaurant that grills everything for you. Starting with the kimchi, the fresh meat, yukhoe, tongue, and harami—all felt top-notch. The service was also exceptional, and considering the location and quality, I believe it offers great value for money. I highly recommend it for dates or business dinners.

I made a reservation for the "Omakase Course with Truffle Sukiyaki and Katsu Sandwich!" I was surprised to be able to eat sashimi-grade beef, but what really overwhelmed me was the quantity! In the end, a gigantic bowl of shaved ice arrived, leaving me completely full. The Katsu Sandwich was absolutely delicious!

I hadn't visited in a while because it's hard to get a reservation for just two people. However, on the 29th, I was lucky enough to secure a reservation and came here. I always know what to expect, but once again, we were served a wonderful selection of meat, and to top it off, we enjoyed truffle egg over rice at the end. It was fantastic!

This is the best yakiniku restaurant I've ever tasted. The staff carefully grills each piece of meat to perfection. We enjoyed delicious meat sashimi, salt, and sauce, followed by Chateaubriand, silk loin, and truffle sukiyaki. I can't choose a favorite! However, the truffle sukiyaki is incredibly luxurious, as they generously shave a lot of truffle on top!

I visited a Yakiniku restaurant in Omotesando that I had been curious about.At the end of the course, I was served "Awa Hand-Stretched Somen."The beautiful, clear broth in a perfectly sized bowl left a strong impression.The broth had a gentle flavor with a hint of dashi, and the noodles were slightly soft. Both elements were subtle, providing a pleasant reset for my palate after indulging in such exquisite meat dishes.Adding the accompanying wasabi and tsukudani enhanced the refreshing flavor and...

I prefer pork over beef, and chicken over pork at this age.That said, the restaurant I visited tonight is a renowned yakiniku place that I crave at least once a year, even as a pork lover.This is about my 20th visit. It’s one of my favorite yakiniku spots located underground in Minami Aoyama.The luxurious entrance immediately elevates my mood.This time, I ordered the "Basic yet Satisfying Course (18 dishes)" for JPY 13,300 per person.This popular restaurant has received various awards, including...

I visited Yoroniku for a full-course meal.To be honest, there wasn't anything particularly striking, but I was truly impressed by the staff's training and attentiveness.The part-time employees grilled each piece of meat with care, and their responses were well-prepared, complemented by their lovely smiles.It was a great meal.

I visited after 10 years!I came for the course meal!We started with the meat sashimi, and everything was delicious, making for a truly happy time!At the end of the meat course, I decided to add the Filet Mignon since I had never tried it before.I was pleased to learn that if one plate is too much, we could order one slice per person instead.I was full, but I still enjoyed the final dessert of shaved ice, which was very satisfying!I was also happy to find that drinks were just under JPY 1000!

On a weekend night, I visited with my partner. We were seated at a table. The restaurant has a calm atmosphere, making it suitable for a date even at a table. We ordered the truffle sukiyaki and katsu sandwich course. The staff typically prepares the dishes at the table. Everything was delicious, but the yukhoe was particularly outstanding, so we ordered more. It’s served bruschetta-style on French bread. So tasty! At the end, we had a choice of dessert: hojicha or shirokuma kakigori (shaved ice).... More

If you love Yakiniku, this is a must-visit restaurant. I usually go to the Ebisu location since it's closer, but I decided to revisit the Aoyama branch as a way to return to my roots and restart my journey.This place is known as a game-changer in the history of Yakiniku, often referred to as "Yoroniku Before" and "Yoroniku After."They offer a meticulously crafted course featuring rare cuts of meat served in small portions at the perfect timing.

This restaurant is perfect for savoring delicious meat served one plate at a time while enjoying a leisurely chat. The course includes various dishes such as meat sushi, yakiniku, and fluffy egg sukiyaki, allowing you to enjoy a range of flavors. For dessert, you can choose from two types of shaved ice. The hojicha (roasted green tea) shaved ice is fantastic!

This place is tucked away, making it perfect for a discreet date! (laughs)I chose the most popular course, and it was definitely the right choice!!Every piece of meat was delicious, and since it mainly featured lean cuts, it wasn't greasy and was gentle on the stomach.With plenty of raw meat options, it's a paradise for yukhoe lovers! (laughs)The shaved ice dessert at the end was also amazing! ♡I definitely want to come back for a special occasion. ( *´꒳`* )

I have been here many times, and each visit makes me think, "I want to come back again." It holds a special place in my heart.【Reservation】This restaurant operates on a reservation-only basis and is extremely popular. It fills up quickly, so I recommend making a reservation about a month in advance.... More

The meat was amazing! Every cut was tender and juicy. ✨ The staff's hospitality was also outstanding.However, the air conditioning was a bit too strong, making it cold, and the signal reception was poor, which were drawbacks. But even with those issues, I definitely want to visit this place again!

The meat sushi looked a bit cheap, haha.However, the overall quality was high. There wasn't a single dish that I found unappetizing. The full attention from the staff was reassuring. A friend who prefers well-done meat had some complaints, but personally, I thought it was delicious, and I believe... More

I made a reservation for the truffle sukiyaki course through Tabelog. The meat served raw in the first half was delicious, but personally, I really liked the bruschetta. The tongue was so tender that I wished there was more than just one slice. Also, I usually don’t order it, but the Tsuchinoko sauce was surprisingly tasty. As we moved into the second half, the flavors became richer, and I found myself eating with wasabi to change things up. I started craving rice! The dishes were served at a fast... More

The Omotesando exclusive course features Chateaubriand Sukiyaki.The course is packed with a variety of dishes, and the staff grilled each item at just the right timing.They provided pleasant service without interrupting our conversation, which made it enjoyable. Normally, I prefer to grill myself, but I appreciated their service here.The course offers a wide selection, and I think those who enjoy less common cuts and richer flavors will really like it.The dessert was a delicious shaved ice.

During my business trip to Tokyo, I reunited with my family of three for a long-awaited visit to Yoroniku.We made a reservation for Saturday at 5 PM, but the restaurant was already fully booked. The excitement was palpable, given its continued popularity. Since it had been a while since my last visit, my anticipation was at its peak the moment we sat down. ✨We started with a toast over bottled beer and a tea highball! The ice-cold beer was delightful.Soon after, the kimchi and namul (seasoned vegetables)... More

I finally made it back to the main branch of Yoroniku! I could only get a reservation for 10 PM, so I had already eaten a bit before arriving. Even though the food was incredibly delicious, I was too full to enjoy it fully, so I’ll come back earlier next time. The truffle sukiyaki was absolutely amazing and definitely my favorite! ^_^ Even though I was full, I managed to finish the somen and shaved ice because they were so light and refreshing. ^_^

One of the most sought-after reservations in the Omotesando and Minami-Aoyama area is "Yoroniku." This time, I enjoyed the limited quantity course priced at JPY 14,900. We started with beautifully marbled meat sashimi and yukhoe. The yukhoe, mixed with a rich egg yolk, had a melt-in-your-mouth texture, raising my expectations right from the first dish. For the grilled items, we had premium tongue, outside skirt, and lean cuts, along with rare parts like Chateaubriand and silk loin. The thick-cut... More

Everything was delicious from start to finish. Since all the meat is grilled for you, it felt like a different experience than typical yakiniku, and I was excited while waiting for the next meat to be grilled. The shaved ice served at the end was also tasty, but it would have been even better if each person had their own individual dessert instead of sharing two types among four people. Dividing the shaved ice among four people made the table messy and sticky, which was a bit unpleasant. I prefer... More

This is the best yakiniku restaurant. The food is incredibly delicious, and I feel that the cost performance is excellent for a top-level yakiniku place. Since it was my wife's birthday, I really wanted to come here, but it was difficult to make a reservation at a convenient time. So, I checked Tabelog every day to see if there were any cancellations. Fortunately, a spot opened up a week in advance, and I was able to secure a reservation. I was lucky!

I visited this restaurant to celebrate my mother's birthday. I was surprised to see that most of the customers were from overseas due to the influx of international visitors.

Following the inconspicuous sign down a hidden alley, I descended into a narrow hallway that stretched deep inside. Although it wasn't a private room, the late hour and the empty seat next to me made it feel like one.

A friend wanted to eat yakiniku, so we made a reservation and visited this restaurant! It's a stylish yakiniku place located underground, just a bit off the main road. We were guided to a private room in the back, allowing us to enjoy our meal in a quiet atmosphere. This is a great restaurant that can definitely be used for business meetings as well. The dishes feature high-quality meat, which I think is perfect for younger diners.
