Back years later for my birthday and prices haven't changed!!! Thank goodness. Got the $300 for 2 set again, sooooo fatty. Way too fatty. Casual but not busy. Not a lot of parking. Server said they'd take care of the scallops that were cooking and they were overcooked :( otherwise everything was good, definitely recommend getting the cheaper sets as the most expensive is almost like drinking fat haha. read more

Been a minute since I ate here... quite honestly was delightfully surprised when I got the wagyu set. Very pricey but totally worth it. Lots of vegetables and banchan. The egg miso soup was delicious. Lots of courses but the wagyu set was amazing! Highly recommend good beer and wine selection. Service was spot on and very attentive. Impressed. read more

Japanese BBQ Yoshi has been on my list of must tries for a few years. My bestie recommended it years ago and for some unknown reason I just didn't go. The restaurant is located off Young street and it's really set back from the street. The parking lot is small but we got the last stall. Inside is also small with a few tables. Our reservation was for 6:15p and we were greeted and seated immediately. Since it's known for Wagyu we ended up splurging on the Wagyu set. Totally worth it in my opinion. To start we had banchan, soup, salad, and Wagyu buns. It was decent but not noteworthy. They start you off with a choice of pork belly or tongue. We opted for the tongue and it was pretty tasty. Then the showstopper Wagyu comes out. There were so many different cuts I couldn't remember them all. But what I do know is that it was all superb! My friend said she forgot just how fantastic the meat quality was at this restaurant. With each cut of meat we cooked, it was tough to pick my favorite. It was all so yummy! We were too full to have the cold udon so they graciously packed it up with our leftovers. Yes, leftovers because we were so full of fatty delicious Wagyu. The dessert was a calamansi sorbet on yuzu jelly. Perfect ending to a fabulous meal! Service was friendly and efficient. Only two servers but they knew exactly what to do and we never felt ignored. This is by far the best meal I've had in Honolulu in quite some time. I'll definitely be back!

This has to be one of the best "bang for your buck" yakiniku spot for a Wagyu beef set in town. I came here for the Wagyu set for 2 (with my wife), and the sides, courses, and meat selections that came with this set were amazing. I was genuinely stuffed after eating the meal here. The meat quality was good and you notice the quality in every bite. The service is top tier -- attentive, helpful, and provided a great, seamless experience. Although this is a casual restaurant, the quality and service is anything but that. read more

Japanese BBQ Yoshi - Wagyu set - Barbeque Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I've been to BBQ Yoshi about 5-6 times now, and it's definitely one of those places I keep coming back to when I'm craving good yakiniku. One dish I always remember is the fat garlic fried rice super flavorful and rich, and it pairs perfectly with the grilled meats. Another standout is the butter scallop, which comes in a small pot that you let sit on the grill while the butter slowly melts into the scallop. Simple but so good. They also give you three different dipping sauces, which is nice because you can switch up the flavors depending on the cut of meat. The meat quality itself is 10/10 tender, juicy, and exactly what you want when you're going out for yakiniku. The only thing I didn't really care for was the bao, which didn't stand out compared to the rest of the set menu. Overall, still one of my go-to spots for Japanese bbq and a place I'll keep returning to. Only downside is parking is a little too tight or not much parking stall in their lot read more

The food was melt in your mouth amazing! We ordered the skirt steak, beef tongue, Wagyu short rib, Wagyu toro, Wagyu beef nigiri, cabbage kimchee, fried garlic and the sake sampler. We were the only people in the restaurant because we showed up as soon as they opened so we had excellent service. The restaurant was clean and tables were spaced well so if the restaurant was full it wouldn't feel cramped. read more

Decided to try this place on a whim. We were hungry and I heard of only good things about this place. We were surprised that we could get a reservation for 7:30 p.m. on a Saturday night minutes before arriving as we were driving around aimlessly looking for a place to eat. The ambiance was nice and inviting and it felt like a neighborhood eatery and bar. Service was outstanding as the servers were very helpful and friendly. As soon as we opened the menu, we were a little shocked at the prices, however, given the quality of the meats, we decided to bite the bullet and try the Wagyu dinner for 2 at $300. We did have our 12 year old son with us and the waiter assured us that the amount of food would be enough for all of us. He wasn't kidding, in fact we had some leftovers of the wagyu fried rice and the cold noodles were wrapped up for us since we couldn't finish it. The wagyu meat just melted in our mouths. Such a wonderful treat as it was a much better meal for my wife who earlier in the week was treated to someplace else for her Birthday dinner. This place far exceeded her Birthday dinner. A few parking spaces, however, we ended up parking on the street. Nice, cozy place to relax and enjoy a wonderful and tasty dinner as they also have some liquor or as I seen on another table, they bought their own to celebrate. Highly recommended if you are looking for a good, quality restaurant to eat some good, premium Wagyu meat. read more

This will always be one of my favorite restaurants to come to. Quality and service are always on point. We have been coming here for years and have always left full and satisfied.

While we miss their creme brulee bread pudding, their s'mores cheesecake comes in pretty clutch. read more

Happy Hour in Honolulu, Hawaii... My bestie, Irene M., and I had never been to Japanese BBQ Yoshi and decided to do something about it. We've driven past it on Young Street many times. This place has great reviews by people such as Rod U., Andy F., Lyn L., Ward K., Celina Q., Shay F., Brian M., Russel M., and Krysten I. They're our trusted Yelp friends! Our server/host, Andy, did everything! He said he mostly just talks with customers, but he seated us, took our orders, and served us! He made great suggestions and helped us navigate the menu! We got the Wagyu Truffle Fries, Beef Bao Buns, Yaki Udon; and the Thin Cut Washugyu Ribeye to grill. Everything was tasty and had beautiful presentation! The three dipping sauces for the ribeye made it fun - we were able to change up the flavor! We would return again! read more

Wow! Just wow. If you're looking for the real deal on top quality Wagyu and/or waguykushu come to Japanese BBQ Yoshi. Disclaimer: If you want the melt-in-your-mouth Wagyu you better be willing to pay. This is not the place to come if you're on a tight budget that's for sure. I mean that in the kindest way. We decided not mess around and got the #1 Wagyu set menu for 2 people which was $$$. It included an appetizer tray (potato salad, pickled daikon, and broccoli), soup, rice, choice of butter garlic shrimp or Hokkaido scallops, choice of beef tongue or pork belly, complete Wagyu sampler platter (3 different cuts), cold udon, and dessert. No lie, this was probably the best Wagyu we have ever had in Japan or Hawaii. It's most definitely worth the price. Small parking lot off Young St. read more

Japanese BBQ Yoshi is a spot that can be found a ways away from the Waikiki downtown area, that you will definitely need a car to get here. While. It that far away, it's more than 10 minutes driving there, so not nearby. As the name implies, it's a Japanese BBQ place at Yoshi's, so when you come here there are several BBQ set options to choose from with various cuts of meats, or you can order separate things a la carte. Of course the best value will be the set menu items. This is also a fairly local place, as it's located in an odd area compared to Waikiki metropolitan area itself. It does have its own parking lot that it shares with another business next door, but it's closed during the night. If you want a quieter, less crowded experience for Japanese BBQ, Yoshi's is the place. For the price, definitely want to be mindful of that because they are...very pricey, even for Hawaii. Obviously, the you can get some good quality meats here, and similar to Japan, they'll show you the certificates of the quality too to confirm your cuts. The food here overall was great. I didn't have any particular complaints about the food, though I do wish some of the cuts were thicker with the meat. They were so thing, that it was difficult to get any type of char on them without worrying about overcooking them. I've had some very high quality meats in Japan before, and even there they don't cut meats this thinly mainly because of this reason. It really took away from the actual flavors on the meat as a result. The meats were great, but with the recommended cooking times, it really left nothing for the imagination when cooking it, and it wasn't as good as it could have been with more char on it. But I digress. It's more of a minor gripe more than anything. If you have the time, interested in Japanese BBQ, and don't mind spending a bit more, Yoshi's is where you want to be. Staff were super friendly and helpful, so that certainly helped with the experience. Worth a visit for those craving some good meats. read more

It's certainly "Happy" Yoshi "Hour"... Japanese BBQ Yoshi is located on Young St and I've certainly passed here a few times always wonder what's cooking behind those doors and today I finally got to find out as Nadine suggested here and made reservations as well...oh what happy hour it was. Yoshi Happy Hour is literally that and is available daily from 5pm to 6pm with lots of sips and bites to choose from and as we walked in this cozy restaurant as it's much smaller than it seems but with each bbq tables spaced perfectly giving you that private separation our seating was already set ready for us to enjoy greeted by our server Andy. We said we came for the happy hour and he delightedly took our order once we decided and told us the portion size so that we don't over order is very much appreciated and started with Wagyu Truffle Fries, Yaki Udon and Beef Bao Buns each coming out very fast first was the fries as they were skinny and bursted with yummy truffle though not sure where the wagyu comes from, Yaki Udon had chunks of pork belly and was stir fried in tonkatsu type of sauce and topped with a single onsen tamago was my favorite and the bao buns came in a perfect pair loaded with yummy simmered beef, sprouts and pickled carrots and daikon. We then ordered the Thin Cut Washugyu Ribeye...why not! Presentation is stunning as these two thinly sliced of heavenly beef each already pre-cut into four pieces made it easy to grill as they suggested where on the grill and for how long along with describing the three sauces for dipping. Amazing service with great food made this visit happy and well worth the quality visit we received. Thank you! read more

Only ones here on a weekend night. Felt sort of weird like, what didn't we know others do? It was extremely expensive for the very thinly sliced portions of meat. Plus 2/3 had very large chunks of solid fat at the bottom nobody wanted to eat. Definitely should have been trimmed off for the price. Service was great but that's not surprising since we were the only table. Kind guys. Clean place. Lovely bathroom. Parking was tight but both found spaces no problem. read more

Absolutely excellent! If your standard for good Japanese bbq is Gyu-Kaku, you need to know that there's so much better out there. Where Gyu-Kaku is like Outback Steakhouse, BBQ Yoshi is like Hy's. There just isn't a comparison. They serve authentic Japanese BBQ and everything from the service to the food is superb. We celebrated my husband's birthday at BBQ Yoshi. They offer a happy hour from 5-6pm with great prices and we ordered both off the happy hour menu and from the regular menu. They have set courses, but we were wanting to mix and match meats and seafood. Yoshi Salad- huge portion big enough for three people, great dressing Garlic Fries- honestly, the biggest standout. I know they are a yakiniku place, but the fries were so good that they stole the show Kimchee- We got the platter with all three and they were so fresh and tasty! Wagyu Fat Fried Rice- Rich and large portion to share Ribeye- Delicious! Kalbi- Boneless, thin sliced meat, so tender Pork Belly- Thin slice was the way to go Scallops- This was all my mom and she loved every bite. They were tender and cooked so soft without getting chewy. They gave us a smores cheesecake to end the night that was so rich and tasty! It had a burnt, caramelized marshmallow on top that was to die for. The staff was personable and attentive and we had an excellent meal here! read more

I drove by this place many many times and finally we got to try it today. They have their own private parking lot, but there is only a few parkings, there are also street parkings in the area. The restaurant looks clean, they decorated it with a lot of wood, make it a very earthy feel in my opinion. We made a reservation on a Saturday evening right before Mother's Day. When we got there, there were only two other customers , not super busy. I heard about this place is pretty pricey so mentally I am already prepared for it. Yes, it is pretty pricy, 10 pieces of pork belly for $27. I just cannot see any difference between a cheaper pork belly compare to a more expensive pork belly. We also ordered cow tongue and Kalbi. I must say the meat (beef) quality is pretty good. It the portion is small. The presentation of the meat is very well as you can see in my photo. We also ordered the garlic kimchee fried rice and the chicken Karaage. The fried rice is pretty good size and we cannot finish. I must say the service is really really good. Everybody is smiling. They come to check on us several times during dinner. They also help us packed the left over rice to take home and put it in a paper bag with a chopstick and napkin inside. They also provide disposable apron for you to cover your clothes and I think the ventilation is pretty good because we don't smell like barbecue at the end. Overall, we feel even the meat (beef) is good and the service is very good, we can get more "Meats" for our $ in other restaurants, sorry, this should be a one time deal for us. BTW, we went to this restaurant because I saw IG said they give 20% off for their anniversary, but they did not take off 20% from my bill and I forgot to check and paid full price. Not honest. read more

This place is sooo good! Not as good as the AYCE place we went to Japan, but this is pretty much up there.

I will definitely come here again for a special occasion. read more

Hubby surprised me with this place for our 3rd wedding anniversary and I'm glad he did! How have we not tried this place yet is what I want to know LOL we're on the hunt for the best "yakiniku" spot & this place is HIGH up there. First of all, service was top notch! I wish we got our servers name because they were all amazing. It being our first time here, they were VERY informative and attentive to their guests. They even informed us our van lights were still on ‍ Restaurant was clean, they even have bidet's in their bathrooms We chose the $300 set (for 2) which I believe is the Miyazaki A5. So rich! A bit fatty for our liking but that's cause we're not used to fresh, AUTHENTIC wagyu. Nonetheless, everything was delicious! Even their bao bun appetizer was good, maybe even one of my favorites of the night. There was an assortment of banchan, my fav was the kimchi (of course).. Hubby cooked the meats perfectly & when I say they melt in your mouth, IT DOES!! You honestly don't have even have to dip it in the sauces they offer. But it was a nice touch! I didn't even dare to touch my rice because I wanted to eat enough where I could sample all the meats hahaha. With the set we chose, comes with 2 choices of sweet desserts that were amazing. I'm glad I went with the s'mores cheesecake! The toasted/burnt marshmallow was *chefs kiss*... Great way to end the night! read more

It's been a small bit since we've been here. Another birthday celebration, and we ordered a lot off the Happy Hour menu. I always have a great time, so I'm not scoring each individual dish as I usually do. This particular time, we ordered a meat cake for the birthday boy, and it was a nice assortment of our choice of meat cuts in a nice mold. Everyone got a nice kick out of it. Sorry, I do not have a closer picture... It consisted of the Wagyushu Kalbi, Strip Steak, and Thick Cut Pork Belly. We also ordered another set of Beef Tongue, more Kalbi, Strip Steak, and Pork Belly. I also forgot to take new pictures of the Wagyu Fat Fried Rice and the Wagyu Truffle Fries. I recommend anyone planning to come here to order off the Happy Hour Menu from 5-6 as most items are marked up to 40% off. I love this place and am always glad to come to another birthday celebration! read more

My son really wanted Japanese A5 wagyu steak in Hawaii, so wish granted, we came here for dinner. Our server, Ching, was super friendly, attentive and helpful. We got several orders of their special Hawaiian glazed pork belly, skirt steak, wagyu beef nigiri, wagyu fat fried rice as well as the Steak Set ($200), which consists of wagyu ribeye, washugyu ribeye and skirt steak. Everything was delicious, high-quality meats and flavorful, especially the pork belly and wagyu ribeye. However, I just felt that the portions were small for the price you pay. We ordered a lot too, but were only satisfied afterwards, not stuffed, which is fine bc the experience was great and it's definitely heaven for the wagyu & steak lovers like my son. He enjoyed it very much- worth it. read more

If you want quality, go here! On the pricier side but totally worth it. For some reason they didn't have the AC on and with all the bbq/smoke, it got really hot in there. Excellent service, refilled our waters and checked on us a few times. Would return next time I'm back in Oahu! read more

While the meats were delicious, I can't say this is worth the value. We created our own ala carte set and picked the steak set for $200. You can add salad or rice at additional cost. We added the wagyu fried rice which was utterly tiny and only one small bowl. For appetizers we got garlic fries and wagyu nigiri. The portion of fries was huge though. Overall we didn't leave hungry, but for what we spent, it didn't feel worth it. You are better off getting one of their combo sets for 2 people which range $250-$300 because you would be getting a lot more food than ordering separately. Can't say I would come back. read more

The world food duo stopped in at Japanese B.B.Q. Yoshi on Young St, across from the First Interstate Bank building (yes, it's not FIB anymore but I'm old). There is limited parking (16 stalls) but we were the first to arrive so I got the stall closest to the building and cheated over into the smoking area to distance myself from the next stall. We started with a bottle of 2019 Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon ($105), a steal as it's $85 from the winery. I was contemplating the Wagyu Set Menu ($300) but our server said it's a lot of food and one course has shellfish so he recommended the Build Your Own Set option. We opted for two half orders of Yoshi Salad, two bowls of Wagyu Fat Fried Rice and the Steak Set, a combination of Wagyu ribeye, Washugyu ribeye and U.S. Skirt Steak. We added an order of tongue. Alas, they only had the regular tongue. The wine was stellar as Chateau Montelena wines consistently are; full of fruit, complex flavors without much tannin, surprising for a young wine. The salad was fine, I'd expected something more from the Yuzu-based dressing. The meat was nicely arranged on a platter and the bowls of fried rice came at the same time. I didn't partake of the fried rice as I'm on a no carb diet. Yes, my 3 glasses of wine contributed 375 calories and 12 grams of carbs. Yours truly cannot forsake wine with a fine meal. I handled the cooking chores ... the pieces of meat were thinly cut so it didn't take very long as we prefer our meat medium rare. There were three sauces, one was sesame oil based (we didn't like it); the other two (I couldn't remember what they were but both) were delicious. I cooked the meats from least to most expensive. The U.S. skirt steak was tender and flavorful ... that was the surprise of the evening for me. The Washugyu ribeye was excellent and the Wagyu ribeye; what can we say ... It was "to die for". I prepare A5 at home using a sous vide then a torch; the meat from BBQ Yoshi was fabulous. The sole disappointment was the tongue; it was not very flavorful and it was chewy. I think tongue needs to be pre-cooked and cut slightly thicker so the diner can savor its unique flavor. We ended our meal by splitting the dessert, a coffee jelly (for me) and green tea ice cream (for my tablemate). Final thoughts? I think Japanese B.B.Q. Yoshi competes well with H* N* D* in Kaka'ako. They offer similar menus at about the same price point. We love both places ... recommended! 4.75 stars. read more

I should have left the moment I arrived at 6:30pm and not a single customer was there. From the time I sat down til I left, we were the only customer. I should've known this restaurant was terrible. The wagyu was overpriced. The quality doesn't align with the price. I had a stomachache and diarrhea immediately after the meal. I don't recommend at all. I would choose any fast food over this place. Stay away if you don't want to get sick. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. The food can melt in your mouth. We upgraded to the Wagyu grade meat and so happy we did. Everything was amazing. They no long have an happy hour only monthly specials. We got the Edame, garlic fries. The fries come in a huge bowl and they yummy yum yum! We got the set meal for two and it was enough food for 4 people with the added appetizers. We also got the wagyu fried rice. That was so yummy yum yum! The flavoring was the best I had. Better than any other fried rice I had in a long time! The service here is excellent, Ching was so nice. This is more of a local place to enjoy a meal. Not many tourist come here. Every piece of we had was yummy yum yum. The scallops were over cooked imo and that's all our fault! It is a pot of butter... They end the meal with udon and dessert!! I got the yuzo jello with a passion fruit sorbet that was so mouth cleansing. The chocolate cheesecake with the marshmallow topping was pretty yummy too. Our friend has a credit card that gives you deals at selected restaurants. They have come here numerous times. Enough that the guy recognized them. Great company with amazing dinner. read more

This was my first time here and I will definitely be back! We ordered the Wagyu beef set, which came with 3 grades of Wagyu. We started with the "lowest" one and worked our way to the best cut. The "lowest" was so good, and each just got exponentially better. The service was so great! They took time to talk with us and really help us choose what we wanted. This was so much food for two of us, so we took some home. We'll definitely be back because there's more I want to try! read more

Japanese BBQ Yoshi - Barbeque Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I don't write many Yelp reviews, but I had to review Japanese BBQ Yoshi because it was the best restaurant experience I've had in Hawai'i in quite a while. First off, the boring stuff. Do you need a reservation? We had a 5:00 reservation for our visit on NYE but the restaurant was only about half full. However, it's not a huge place so a reservation is probably recommended. Also, their parking lot only has 9 marked spaces, so plan accordingly. There were three of us, so we split the Wagyu Set Menu (which is intended for two people) and added on a Washugyu Sampler Plate. That was more than enough food for us. The starters included assorted kim chee, a green salad, nori, beef bao buns, soup, and a plate that included potato salad, seasoned broccoli fllorets, and pickled vegetables. Everything was light, fresh, tasty, and not too heavy (which is important, considering the amount of meat we had coming). We opted for the beef tongue over the pork belly and the miso scallops over the garlic shrimp. Both were excellent choices and the beef tongue was SUPER tender, while the scallops were flavorful with a perfect texture - not mushy or rubbery. Side note on the grill: you grill your own meat, so you have to carefully balance cooking and eating. Wagyu and Washugyu cook very quickly due to the high fat content, and the thinner cuts will cook extremely fast - the staff advised that thin cuts should be seared for only about 8-10 seconds per side. Tip: don't put too many pieces on the grill at once, otherwise you risk overcooking your beautiful Wagyu! Also, the grill is nonstick so it doesn't have to be replaced; the staff will occasionally wipe it down to keep it clean. The meat itself was amazing! Super tender and melts in your mouth like butter. The cuts arrived lightly seasoned and three dipping sauces were provided. My favorite was the sesame oil based sauce with salt and pepper. There was also a thin cut of Wagyu where, per staff instructions, you grill it, add green onions and garlic chips, then roll it up and pop it in your mouth. Soooo 'ono! There was so much food that we completely skipped the noodle course, which was cold soba. The staff packed it up for us to take home. The fact that they were prepared to pack up the soba tells you that they know how much food they give you! Finally... dessert. Two desserts are provided with the set menu so we went with sorbet and the S'mores cheesecake. The cheesecake was very heavy and very rich, but I can't resist chocolate and house-made desserts! Along with the food, what really made this an unforgettable experience was the staff. All the staff were friendly and super helpful. They were attentive, checking on us every so often and making sure that our water and tea were full. Plus they also provided clear explanations and instructions for cooking so that everything came out delicious! Japanese BBQ Yoshi is not cheap, but it is most definitely worth the money. While we were there, several of the other guests were greeted warmly and recognized as repeat customers - always a good sign about an establishment. I hope to become a repeat visitor myself! read more
