Japanese BBQ [Yakiniku] Restaurants in Riyadh

Because we like paying to cook our food (pahirapan natin ang ating mga sarili, go! Haha!), here is the list of restaurants in Riyadh that offers Japanese BBQ or yakiniku where we grill our meat in smokeless grillers. (Tatlo lang naman sila so mainly lang ang listahan.) Yes, very much like the Korean samgyupsal but most Japanese BBQ are NOT UNLIMITED. These restaurants offer premium and high quality meats though, so that’s one thing to consider. These Japanese grill restaurants in Riyadh are also upscale and luxe. 

We’ve tried Bonzai years ago and only recently, we tried Kintan, the newest one of the three. We’re dying to try Yakinikumafia. I mean, if their meat is anything like its sister Wagyumafia, well, our expectations are set! Wait lang sa budget for it though. 

The concept of yakiniku is to order the meats: beef, chicken or seafood (mostly shrimps) and veggies, and grill them on a smokeless griller in the middle of the table. There are usually instructions on how many minutes you have to cook the meat. Side dishes can also be ordered to match with the main courses.
