About this place
Diners have praised the charcoal-grilled yakiniku, and the chance to choose between different cuts is part of Nikuyakiya’s appeal. The menu includes a beef tongue tasting platter pairing thick-cut pork tongue with beef tongue, as well as a selection of 3 kinds of harami featuring pork, beef and premium harami. Some reviewers recommend the tongue or harami; if choosing between them is difficult, a platter makes a good starting point.
There is also a broad choice of Wagyu, from thin-sliced A5-grade kalbi and grilled sukiyaki-style kalbi to premium kalbi and kainomi. For a chance to sample different cuts, try the tongue tasting platter; if you would also like some lean Wagyu, the “just-right lean Wagyu” is another option. Reviewers have also recommended the harami, extra-large harami and signature red meat platter for a meal built around meat.
For something beyond meat, add jumbo mushrooms or a platter of grilled vegetables. One diner singled out the jumbo mushroom as a favourite, making it worth a look if you want a dish between rounds of meat. To finish, choose from cold noodles, stone-pot bibimbap or yukgaejang soup.
