Reviews of Yakiniku Yoshi (Restaurant)

Hoa V

Unreasonably Expensive! We all know Wagyu can cost a lot but talk about nickel and diming. For the amount they charge for their cuts of meat, I should not be charged $4 for a small bowl of rice. Or $6 for some side veggies. Will never come here again, and I recommend everyone stay away.

Good quality meat. Highly recommend. Introduced by my Japanese friends. Love it. For the qualioty, it is actually not expensive. Happy hour is excellent value.

Lilian Yamasaki

Lance Kuwana

Best Japanese steak you can find

Their wagyu beef is quite amazing but what sets them apart from other restaurants is their customer service. Must try for everyone!

以前の焼き肉ヒロシと同様、Japanese yakinikuとしてとても満足しました。和牛もおいしいですがホタテの味噌バター焼きは残った味噌を野菜や肉にかけても抜群！

Get the happy hour specials. BYOB on Sunday and Monday.

Ward Kawano

One of our favorite places to go and eat at. They have two happy hour specials from 5pm -6pm and again at 8:45pm - 10pm but last call is at 9:45. Ch cl out their Instagram page for specials. Beside some great selection of meats, they also have salads, a nice selection of appetizers, desserts and alcohol. It is best to make reservations as they can get crazy busy and full.

Yum!

Try "Wagyu Kalbi" then you will understand the Japanese food quality. I also recommend "Tantan Men" which is like Japanese Ramen. If you are a sushi lover, "Beef Nigiri Zukke" might be a discovery. True Wa(和Japanese) gyu (牛beef) is completely different from US or Korean beef. Yoshi and Gyukaku are two only Japanese BBQ restaurants in HI now. Besides, you can experience a Japanese style electric toilet in the bathroom, by the way.

Best food, awesome service.... Going again and again!

What Johnny Sees

Yakiniku Yoshi was a great restaurant! The food was amazing, the service was amazing too, and it definitely felt like I was in Hawaii. I would come back here because the food is truly high quality, and you can't get that everywhere.

Eric Muraoka

The wagyu is always on point. If you value your taste buds, order a side order of the wasabi sauce and dip your meat in there. It's glorious.

Carlyle Handley

Fantastic service and select meats! One of the best Yakiniku restaurants in Hawaii, definitely done here especially if celebrating a special occasion.

pricey for the selections and quality.

The food is very good, but expect to spend a lot of money if you eat here. I really liked the wagyu set menu. We were so full, we could not finish all the courses. We ended up taking home some of our food. I also really liked the dessert that came with the set menu; it was very refreshing.

Joshie Washie

Really great food and great service, bit pricy but you get a lot of food.

Yasuo Ogawa

Pricey. We were the last ones and it should have been open for 30 more minutes but they closed up and made us pretty uncomfortable. Service was OK but... Still lacking a little bit.

Excellent selection of premium meats. The wagyu nigiri was so melt-in-my-mouth good. Pork jowls were tender and tasty (I learned about them from a friend so I had them again). The rwo of us had our own tongs so we were able to get our meat cooked the way we liked. Servers appeared to check on us throughout our meal and answered our questions. Creme Brule for dessert was a perfect ending.

I loved the food and the service was great. If you go early for dinner, you can also get really good deals and save alot of money. I was very satisfied with my dining experience here.

Good Japonese, cook your own steak spot. Very expensive cuts of beef, so be prepared! Very attentive staff.

Sarah May

Amazing amazing meal! Fabulous service and the best food we've had in Hawaii

Josh Tennant

Wanted some wagyu and it was awesome! Was in the area for a long weekend and had been wanting to try Wagyu for a while. The waiter was very friendly and extremely patient. He explained all all the different cuts and types of beef to us. We had the wagyu sampler, bibimap, and cucumber kimchee. We loved it!

Peet Tran

Love the food and customer service. great atmosphere!

Damion Jefferson

Food was delicious. The service was definitely first class. Great place to go with family, date, business dinner and hangout with friends.

dave jol

Great kobe, kimchi perfect spot to enjoy with a big group

(Translated by Google) Not tasty meat, meat cut very thin, not electric oven charcoal, did not send appetizer, the focus is generally twice the price of Korean barbecue. (Seems to lie not eaten Advanced Day barbecue people shop) (Original) 肉沒入味，肉切的很薄，用電烤爐不是木炭，沒有送前菜，重點是一般韓式烤肉價格的兩倍。 （好像是騙沒吃過高級日式烤肉的人的店）

The wagyu menu is a must try! Only place where I've felt like I've had too much wagyu and thats saying a lot

Sophia Okada

Great food and service! The sampler plate gives you three different types of wagyu beef to try and it is absolutely delectable!

Chris Poison

Highly recommended!

Britney T-M

Clean grills and eating areas. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff that cared about answering questions about food and drink.

Willi Edwards

Expensive buy very good

Zac Roughley

If you're visiting O'ahu and want to try some of the best beef in the world, you have to try Yakiniku Yoshi! They get Wagyu beef flown in from Japan, and it is so incredibly tender and flavorful. You definitely get what you pay for. Be sure to try the sampler so you can try a variety of the different cuts. I'll definitely be returning on my next vacation to O'ahu.

Robert Jarrett

Waygu to die for. Great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. Great selection.

Mark Wo

Everything was amazing! From the impeccable meat quality of the wagyu to the well designed side dishes to the knowledgable service, the whole experience did not disappoint. The only negative reviews here are for the price, but it’s well worth it outside of Japan!

Diane Lau

We go here for special occasions for quality meat (I'm always for quality over quantity). I'm not a huge fan of fatty meat, but I'll make an exception for ones that melt in your mouth! Wagyu brought in from Japan! Some days are busier than others, we're not sure why, so we always come at near opening time to make sure to beat any rushes and do a walk in. Do not over cook your meat, if you aren't sure, don't be afraid to ask the best way to cook it, their servers are so nice and will gladly give you tips on the best way to cook the meat to perfection. Some say they're small portions, but it's perfect for us. Parking is out front with about 10-12 stalls. Follow them on IG @japanesebbqyoshi and you'll see good deals, make reservations so you won't miss out!

Traci Hamamoto

Best quality yakiniku beef on the island and reasonably priced! Also awesome service! Love coming here for special occasions, or date nights.

A friend recommended this place while I was visiting. Being that I just came back from Japan, my review may not be doing justice, however compared to LA places of similar caliber, I will have to say meat quality falls short. Particularly the prime kalbi. While raw, it looked nice and marbely and good, however after it's been cooked on the grill even at medium rare, the meat texture was kinda leathery and dry. The thick cut tongue was good, but at $36 for 9 pieces, it better. Oh and rice was $4 a bowl....a bit overpriced for rice. I'm kinda glad I didn't order the A5 Wagyu like a lot of the Yelp reviews suggested as I think I would likely be disappointed since I already had various cuts of A5 while I was in Japan recently. Overall, if you're in the mood for yakiniku, I'd suggest coming here for their happy hour deals as it's a descent deal.

Danny Wu

I am giving this place five stars because the food and service was excellent. My party and I came shortly after it opened and the staff were on top of everything from taking our orders to refilling our drinks. I was very impressed. We got the A4/A5 set combo and while the menu said it would serve 2 people it really could serve 3 people. There was salad, side dishes, meat, and even dessert at the end. The wagyu just melts in your mouth! For dessert, we got the bread pudding and yuzu jelly. Although the bread pudding was good, oh my goodness that yuzu jelly was so wonderful; nice and refreshing.
