The steaks here are genuinely excellent, rich, tender, and full of flavor. Each serving is generous and feel special from the start. The price point is definitely on the expensive side, but considering this is a Wagyu beef restaurant, it is completely expected and justified. You are paying for premium quality, and it shows in every bite. The service is also amazing: attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly without being intrusive. Waiting time is not the fastest, especially during peak hours, but it is reasonable and understandable. Overall, the experience feels luxurious, satisfying, and well worth visiting. read more

Been here quite a few times. I usually get the platter to try different kinds of meat. The quality has always been solid, but the portions are on the smaller side, so it can feel a little expensive if you have a big appetite. One of the grills wasn't working during this visit, they end up offered us a discount. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is generally not too busy, so the atmosphere is fairly quiet and great for catching up with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great service for our first time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is clean and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The server really took time to explain the menu and the cuts to us. The prices are expensive but the meat is actually very flavorful. We got the holy cow 5/5 for two people with a bowl of rice and we thought that it was a good amount of food as we are not huge eaters. We also got the A5 Wagu taster 5/5 which is incredibly marbled and super fatty delicious, literally melts in your mouth. Definitely save some rice for this piece. read more

We ordered a holy cow, veggie platter and a side order of scallops. Beef flavor is amazing, juicy and fresh. Service is very attentive, always checking in on you and refilling tea without being annoying.. It's such an enjoyable experience. They also have lockers for your bag and coat, plus a de-scent sanitization machine to make smell less BBQ-like before you leave, very thoughtful. read more

Alley 16 - Barbeque Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I had a dinner with a friend last Sunday. Alley 16th is tucked in the corner of Cambie and W16th which makes sense why it's called Alley 16. My friend booked a reso at 4:45PM and then we ordered Super Holy Cow ($235) and a salad. Super Holy Cow was good for 2- 3 people. Food was so much for me. The meat quality was excellent. A5 Wagyu was fantastic. Rib finger was slightly tough. Everything else were tasty and delicious. Loved the beef tongue it was good. I appreciated that staff took time explaining about cooking time and there was a cooking guideline at each seats. They also had a storage area on the left side of bar tables. I just to lock and pull out the key. The food is on the higher end, but it was totally worth it. read more

We had a great experience dining here - the service was impressive. Our server was attentive throughout the meal, making sure our cups were always topped off and walking us through how to cook the meats we ordered. They also checked up on us regularly. We went with the meat set for two and added two veggie dishes, one pork dish, and the beef tendon rice. There are also seafood and wagyu options on the menu. In hindsight, it was quite a bit of food for just the two of us. This place is definitely ideal for a larger group where you can sample more of what they offer. Some meat sets were for 2-4 people but looking at other tables that ordered it, it was definitely a large portion and too much for just the 2 of us. The quality of the meat was solid, though nothing particularly blew us away. If you're dining with people who enjoy seafood, there are a few more set options available. I personally can't eat some seafood, which limited what we could share as a duo. Dinner came to around $200 for two, which is fair considering the portions and interactive experience. I'd recommend checking this place out (especially with a group) so you can try a wider range of dishes. read more

Our party of 7 had 2 sets of "Holy Cow", a portion of pork belly, shiso chicken and extra beef tongues for around 50$ per person, and it was just enough to feel full. The meat is something you can find in most decent BBQ joints; not too fancy, but also not bad in quality. read more

I found this place by accident. We were looking for parking, driving around the Cambie Street area, and the restaurant caught our eye. We decided to have dinner at this restaurant This is a Japanese-style BBQ restaurant. I have seen this style of restaurant in Japan. They have their own BBQ grills in front of you, and you cook the meat yourself. It is fun and also very clean. What I ordered: Personal Set 松 - We enjoyed sample portion of each item Short Rib (Angus) Rib Finger (AAA), Pork Belly, Chicken Thigh , Chicken Cartilage , Seaweed Salad, Neritic Squid, Mushroom, Zucchini. There's not much to talk about regarding these items. I enjoyed the samples; however, some of the meats are a bit chewy. I hope they could be a bit more tender, especially the short rib. Holy Cow - Beef Tongue (Angus) I like it , very tender. B/L Short Rib (Angus) - just ok, Flank Steak (SRF) - one of the favorite, tender, Outside Skirt (SRF) Solid meat, ok Chuck Flap (SRF) - OK Rib Finger (AAA) - OK, New York Striploin (AAA) - hope it could be a bit more tender Ribeye Steak (AAA) - The best. Very good, tender. This item was ordered by many customers. I think it is very reasonable and nice to try each sample meats. Portion is very good, too. But, after I had this item, I decide that I will definitely order Wagyu menu next time. Wagyu oil rice - It's super delicious. I really love the flakes of Wagyu and the garlic-flavored oil. It definitely complements the BBQ beef.I asked the staff if they sell this item individually in a jar. Unfortunately, they don't sell it. Hopefully, they will offer this item in the future for the takeout menu! We have ORION Beer(from OKINAWA ) Tip: On the way out of this restaurant, near the door, they have a machine that takes all the smoke odor away from your clothing. It was an amazing machine. Overall, This place is a good choice for friends or family gatherings. If someone has never tried Japanese-style BBQ grill, I would recommend this place. read more

Great experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cozy enviroment, excellent service, delicious food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A little expensive,but worthy.

Very high quality Japanese BBQ! The only other place I can compare with is Gyu Kaku, but the ingredients at Alley 16 is much higher quality and its also pricier as well to reflect that. We were recommended the Super Holy Cow to try a bit of everything on the beef cuts. I would also recommend to fill up on their hot plate dishes to be full if your still hungry afterwards. All the rice dishes were very delicious and generous in portions, but my favourite was their Ginger Barbecue pork rice dish and the wagyu oil rice was great to have alongside with the beef cuts. Another stand out dish to me was their Uni- Scallop and Crab Paste scallop. Their scallops are huge and the quality of the uni was amazing! I was very pleased with all the dishes we were served. read more

We're from Los Angeles and we would love to try Yakiniku here. I'm happy to share that the quality of meat was very high quality. I've been in Japan and I would say they have the same quality.
