    If you're on the fence of whether to try Yakiniku or not, you will not regret taking the plunge. This restuarant has amazingly helpful staff that did not waiver at my crazy guests demanding requests and did not make us feel unwelcome when we clearly stayed past their ordinary closing time. The food was amazing and my gosh Matcha Flavoured Tiramisu?!? Outterworldly good!

    We booked our table very early at 11:45 and we're the first ones in so could see the interiors and how they are laid out. Service was excellent, we had the festive tasting menu for 2, there was so much food, we struggled to get through it and left some. We took our puddings away in a box. Be prepared excludig alcohol to pay £75 - £100 per head for an epic experience. Would definitely go back. I took my daughter for her birthday as she wanted to go and it was fantastic.
