    If you want a hot pot experience that is truly worth the price, Yumiyaki is the spot. We opted for the Diamond Menu at $88 per person, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Seeing our friends only a couple of times a year called for this kind of birthday celebration. The highlight of the meal is the sukiyaki option. Before they even pour the broth, the server grills the initial cuts of Japanese A5 Wagyu right in front of you to flavor the pot. It is a fantastic presentation, and the meat melts in your mouth! The brisket was my Hubby's favorite! It truly does melt in your mouth! For the all-you-can-eat rounds, the A5 chuck ribeye and brisket are incredible, offering a perfect level of richness. Beyond the hot pot, the Diamond tier gives you access to premium sushi and specialty items. The A5 nigiri with foie gras and the uni toro bowl were exceptional and tasted incredibly fresh! Those were my personal favorite! They also have a great self-serve bar stocked with high-quality sauces, hot pot sides, prawns, scallops, and wagyu curry. We finished our lunch with their ice cream dessert, but the green tea ice cream didn't taste anything like green tea so I may opt for another flavor next time. The customer service was attentive throughout the night, ensuring our meat plates were constantly replenished during our 90-minute limit. I was relieved we had a waitress that was knowledgeable and helped us a whole lot with the process and the menu. Reservations -Using the Yelp reservation helped secure our spot in the event there were a lot of people that day. However there wasn't a wait when we showed up on this particular Sun at 11:30 am.

    The best place high quality Wagyu Service friendly and care the customer high recommend For yumiyaki definitely come back again

    Brisket? 1 piece eaten

    Overall experience was great. Had reservations aat 830 but came at 755. Was told theyd text us if a spot opened up. Walked about 10 feet away and got a text and saw the host running to get us since someone cancelled. They have a sukiyaki only one that i sould get since they grill it then put the broth in which is interesting. I wanted to try both since it was the first time coming. The sukiyaki broth was rrally good. It wasnt overly sweet or salty like other places. The meat in sukiyaki and dipping it in the egg was amazingg. They have a self service area where you can get veggies, little sides like takowako, okra, tofu, etc. They also have hot tea, milk tea, yakult and soda that yoy can get. There also curry, sauces, and Ice cream. I enjoyed it here. I just wished they had deep fried buns with condensed milk. Parking is horrible tho

    Gold Menu

    overall: very good experience. I'd come back. food: we got the Gold package and everything was so good. we tried some of the nigiri and it was very fresh. They have a self serve section with veggies and other stuff to put in the broth. they even have curry and rice but I didn't get to they offer both milk tea and calpico. service: the staff were super attentive and nice. they would come pretty quickly to clear the empty meat plate. ambiance: we came on a tuesday night and had a reservation. but it actually wasn't too busy so even without reservation there probably wouldn't have been a wait. parking: parking for me wasn't bad, there was a lot of parking available. there is a parking lot but depending on how busy the yes plaza is it can sometimes be hard to find parking. bathroom: they have two bathrooms and it was pretty clean.

    Yumiyaki is absolutely worth the splurge. I loved it so much I decided to opt in for their membership. Their self service bar has vegetables, seafood, curry, soda, and milk tea! The sashimi and tartare is fresh and delicious! If you're a sukiyaki lover like me, theirs is simply delicious. Every cut of meat we tried was tender and top-notch. It's a treat-yourself kind of place, and it completely delivered.

    This place is still bomb! I love the quality and freshness of their ingredients! My server this time is Kaylen, she's delightful and pleasant to work with. The self-serve area ran out of tea and matcha ice cream; we informed Kaylen and she was on top of it right away. I joined their annual membership; you get $38 off for birthday discount (you can use it one day before, on, or one day after your birthday). Needless to say, I'm definitely revisiting!

    From start to finish, we enjoyed our lunch here. Service was attentive and friendly, staff kept filling & refilling drinks and broth, clearing dishes and quickly wiping down tables/chairs for the next customers. We did the Diamond $88 AYCE sukiyaki with some of the freshest meats and sashimi. We picked Otoro and A5 Wagyu tartare with caviar and it was deeelicious! Between the A5 ribeye and triple orders of Wagyu nigiri with foie gras and caviar plus several bluefin nigiris, we were truly satisfied and couldn't even think of having another meal for a couple of days.... we were so happy to satisfy our sukiyaki craving. They also have a section for unlimited veggies, noodles, side dishes, MILK tea, rice, ground Wagyu curry, every sauce imaginable and of course ice cream! It was quite a treat. We reserved on Yelp. We highly recommend 100% percent for a nice soupy, meaty, nigiri kind of date!

    Tuna sashimi platter it was so good

    Came back to Yumiyaki Sukiyaki House in Rowland Heights for a second visit, this time to celebrate Mother's Day with my parents (we went on Monday during lunch since I had to work Sunday). The ambiance was just as nice as I remembered, clean, modern, and comfortable without feeling too crowded. It has a relaxed but slightly upscale vibe that makes it feel like a good spot for special occasions, but still casual enough for a weekday lunch. Since we went during lunch on a Monday, it was quieter, which made it even more enjoyable and easy to have conversations. This visit honestly stood out even more than the first. Our server Nate was amazing. It was my parents' first time here and he really took the time to explain the menu, answer their questions, and make sure they felt comfortable the whole time. He checked in often and made the whole experience feel smooth and welcoming. Definitely one of those servers you remember. For the broth, they now offer a split pot option, so we went with both sukiyaki and shabu shabu, which was nice since we got to enjoy both styles in one meal. For meats, my parents' favorites were the A5 Wagyu shoulder cuts and the Australian full blood M9 shoulder cuts, and I actually agree with them. Those had a great balance and weren't overwhelming. The A5 ribeye, A5 brisket, and A5 chuck roll (now listed as A5 chuck ribeye) were a bit too fatty for my taste this time around. The sashimi platter was solid, but I was surprised they ran out of ginger, which was a bit of a letdown. We went with the Diamond again and pricing was the same as my last visit, which I appreciated. That said, I think next time I'd go with the Gold tier instead. The ribeye isn't really my thing anymore, and the specialty items don't feel as novel once you've tried them already. We made reservations just in case, but for a weekday lunch you could probably get away without one. Parking was also much easier compared to what I imagine it's like during busy nights or weekends. Also, I don't remember they have scallops and tiger shrimp from my first visit but these were great additions. Overall, still a really solid experience. Great food, standout service, and I'd definitely be back.

    Julian R.

    Great service, always high quality meat and they have the jams per usual on the aux to help fulfill the vibe... Only thing I'd enjoy more is that if A5 sushi is labeled as foigras or with caviar, I'd hope that it here could be more added for the actual flavor to compliment and not be an after thought. Also if you get the side raw egg, use the broth at the end to have a little egg drop soup to finish the meal before the ice cream.

    Came to Yumiyaki to eat for my birthday and was amazed at the quality of their meat and seafood. My friend and I ordered their diamond menu which is $88 per person or $78 if you are a member. Since it was my birthday I got an additional $38 off which is applicable on the day of or +/- a day. The only difference between the gold and diamond menu is that you get a speciality dish, 2 extra meats and some sushi options and the price difference is $10. Everything on my visit was delicious and fresh. We ordered the uni toro bowl and otoro bowl with caviar for our speciality item. Both of the dishes had a good amount of toro on top which was flavorful. The uni and caviar was more of a garnish in my opinion. The A5 ribeye was grilled at table side. Since we ordered sukiyaki for our broth they gave us egg to dip our meat. Our server grilled our meat and placed it in our egg. The meat was soft and literally melted in our mouths. I could eat 20 orders of that and be satisfied. Our server ordered 1 of each of the meats for us to start off. It went down the menu so make sure which one you like. My favorite was the A5 chuck ribeye and full blood M9 chuck roll. All these are unlimited so order as much as you want. Those two cuts were most tender and not too fatty. They have scallops at the self service bar which were gigantic. I basically ate the whole container there since they were that good. Make sure not to cook it for too long as it will get rubbery. About 1 min in the boiling water is good. The sashimi and nigiri were delicious as well. The fish was buttery and thick cut. It came with salmon, yellowtail and tuna. They have different carpaccios as well and hand rolls/nigiri. Their service was good. Our server came to check in on us frequently and the other servers as well. Parking is tough as they share the lot with multiple businesses.

    Karen L.

    Reservation was made through yelp and we were seated promptly. At the time I went, parking was okay but since it is shared with multiple businesses so it can possibly be packed. The restaurant was clean and decorated with a vibe. The restaurant offers AYCE shabu meats and sushi. You can choose from two different option tiers (fyi it is more on the pricier side). Their Wagyu was tender and very flavorful and you can choose from a wide selection of nigiri and sashimi. Furthermore, there is also a serve it yourself bar with veggie, side dishes, sauces, curry, and drinks. At the end there are a few ice cream selections you can choose from. I always definitely go for the matcha! Overall it was a nice experience. The staff members were friendly, very attentive, and made sure to check up on us to make sure if we needed anything.

    A5 Wagyu Nigiri w/ Foie Gras
    Isabelle N.

    Yumiyaki has been our go-to favorite restaurant ever since our first visit. Both the quality of the food and the service have not failed to impress even as the time passed. Both Elias and Jessica give us great service every time we come here, and are always friendly and attentive. Overall, every server is very kind and attentive, and the service here goes above and beyond. I, myself, mainly come here because their A5 Nigiri with Foie Gras is my favorite thing to eat, period. If you order sukiyaki, they cook the limited meat for you before starting the hotpot and it's delicious as well! I recommend getting the A5 Chuck Ribeye or brisket afterwards, the shoulder cuts are not my favorite. If you get the diamond menu, which I always recommend for the nigiris and A5 ribeye, you also get a specialty dish! Out of all of them, I'd have to say the uni toro bowl is the most enjoyable. The self serve bar is almost always full and you can select sauces, drinks, and hotpot sides there. They also have rice and wagyu curry, and if you want dessert, they have lots of ice cream flavors! I would definitely recommend here out of all the Chubby locations.

    A5 Wagyu
    Davit M.

    Food was exceptionally great, the texture and flavor from the meat especially the A5 Wagyu was amazing and the sukiyaki broth was excellent, not too strong or overpowering it was just right. Sashimi and nigiri were very fresh and the customer service experience was very good. Absolutely would come back again on special occasions as it is a bit high on the price but it is well justified given what you're getting on the menu. Also the self-service station had high quality prawns and scallops that were also delicious and the ice cream dessert at the end was the cherry on top. If you're into Japanese hotpot, this might be the spot for you.

    Yumiyaki Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Yumiyaki

    Do u guys serve alcohol?

    Yes, they do.

    Do they have rice or radish paper?

    Yes, they have rice. Don’t recall they had radish paper.

    If I have a chubby cattle membership is it also accepted in yumiyaki as well?

    It depends on which membership you have. The Chubby Club One membership ($28 per month) is only good for one restaurant. The Chubby Club Plus membership ($58 per year) will work at all locations, Chubby Cattle and Yumiyaki included.

    If I don't like the Sukiyaki, can I change back to Shabu Shabu?

    Im sure you cannot do that ..

    Do they offer a split pot for both broths?

    NEGATIVE

    Is there no reservations between 5pm and 9pm??? I don't see any time offered during that period?

    They only offer walk in during peak dining hours, unless you own their NFT.

    Does the chubby cattle membership work here? I have the membership for the chubby cattle in Rowland heights

    I've been to Yumiyaki about 4 times and my Gold NFT perks was honored every time. But if you had a local membership at a different Chubby Cattle location, then no, you don't have those discount benefits there. So the question is, what kind of Chubby… 

    Is this what place AYCE only or can you order a la carte?

    It's AYCE only. Two different price tiers (Gold and Diamond) and you choose the broth (house/shabu or sukiyaki)

    It looks like they take reservations ? Can anyone confirm?

    Yes, you can make a reservation on yelp or through google.

    Does a membership apply to the whole party when check out?

    Local Membership applies to the member + 1 guest. However, multiple members can be part of the party. For example, if you and your friend both have a local membership, then you can get the local membership pricing for up to 4 people total.

    How's the wait time in Saturday around 5pm?

    Honestly weekday and weekend nights gets very busy, so try to come early or better yet get into their NFT program that helps put you on their priority waitlist.

    Best time to join the wait list on a Saturday? Can I join the wait list if I am 20 minutes from my house? Please answer with weekends wait list , not week days wait-list.

    No, you can only join within 5 miles

    What is base for the broth (ie suitable for a vegetarian?

    The broth for the sukiyaki is made of soy sauce, sugar, mirin, and sake. For the Shabu Shabu, it is made of kombucha dashi, both soup base are suitable for vegetarian but they cook the meat in both sukiyaki and Shabu Shabu, so overall saying, this… 

    How long is the typical wait time on a weekend afternoon. Around 3~4pm?

    I went on a weekend (Sunday) afternoon around 4:30pm and waited 3 hours.

    Is there a kid's price?

    It's by height, under 100cm is free, 100-130cm is half price, 131cm+ is full price

    If I buy your membership on my birthday, could I apply the $38 discount on the same day that I join? And the member price for Gold level is $68 off $38?

    No, you have to purchase the membership on a previous day before redeeming your birthday perks. It cannot be the same day. And yes it would be discounted off the member price of whichever tier menu you choose.

    How many people for the largest table?

    Largest table fits 4. If you have a group of 6 you can get two tables next to each other if they are available, but there is a gap to get in and out between the tables (4 top + 2 top).

    Do they have ginger for sushi?

    If they do, it doesn't come default.

    Can solo diners eat there?

    Yes

    What time does the waitlist close? the restaurant seems to turn it off and on randomly and this makes it difficult to plan for the day?

    When you saw the waitlist close, means there is a long line and the waitlist already over booking.

If you can handle spice, I loved the regular spice level, otherwise mild is there next level down and was perfect for my friends.

The pork was a little bit more on the tougher side when compared to the chicken. But no matter which protein you go with, they were all delicious. A curry plate also comes with soup and salad. Both were served right away and very delicious. Despite how small the salad bowl was, they really stuffed it with salad. The server is nice and parking can get pretty crazy if you come during a rush.

Oookay. When they came back we all asked for water and we were told I had to get rid of my energy drink I had with me. I understand their policy is no outside drinks but it's not like the entire table had teas from another shop, it was one person with a small energy drink can. Really nitpicky and stupid to enforce but whatever. We ordered our meals and everything came out great, the food was really tasty and fresh. Zero complaints about anything we ate at all! The katsu were all fried perfectly, very juice and quality meat. The curry was just a touch spicy and very flavorful. I especially loved the fried tofu, the dashi was some of the best I've had. At the end of the meal we said we had a cake and were told if we wanted to eat it there (with our own plates, napkins and utensils that we brought) it would be a $20 charge. I've never been to a place, especially an Asian restaurant, that has such a crappy policy. We reluctantly paid it but won't be coming back. We celebrate every birthday in the family at restaurants and this is the first time we've ever had pushback over cake.

Of course by the time we got to this, we were way too full so I only got a few bites in before I had to call it and to-go the rest. Mentaiko Buttered Scallops - This was amazingly creamy. However I did make a mistake by adding this to the chef's recommendation. The Chef's Recommendation is curated where everything compliments each other. The mentaiko buttered scallops had their usual strong salty taste and super creamy due to the butter, but it was too strong when added to the Chef's Recommendation that I could barely eat it during the meal. Our next return, I will go with just the chef's recommendation to avoid messing up the balance. But the chef's recommendation was curated very well if you're not sure what to get! The bibimbap and sukiyaki were the chef's kiss
