    We had the $180/pp fixed menu. The meat was good but lacked the flavor of similar restaurants we visited in Japan. Staff is very friendly.

    I’ve been to many Japanese barbecue places, both in the US and Japan. Had really high expectations for this place because of the high ratings, but unfortunately we didn’t really enjoy the meal… Oddly, the appearance and texture of the meat were both as good as we expected, but the flavor of the meat just wasn’t that great. Overall, I thought the meal was very overpriced ($180 before tax and tip for appetizer and 9 pieces of meat, no rice/dessert/sides/drinks included).

    After spending $350 on food they approached our table and told us that our 90 minute time is up and that we had to move. We felt like a number. So impersonal. Using covid as an excuse to get a fast turnaround. Food was good but wont return because of that.

    Awesome experience. The waiter was very friendly and professional. He explained all the meat cuts clearly and cooked the meet for us. The meat was absolutely the best I’ve had in US. The ambiance in the restaurant was relaxing and welcoming. It was such an enjoyment dining at this restaurant.

    Took my brothers here for dinner to celebrate birthdays. One of my brothers is a chef and he said it's the best / highest quality meat he's ever had. We each got the Yazawa Omakase, which comes with a pretty price tag, but it was a healthy sized portion, excellent taste, and overall a really special treat. Service was also excellent and we appreciated our server's knowledge of ingredients and how to properly cook everything. Do not come here and ask for your meat to be cooked well done though - what is the point of paying this price point if you're going to overcook the taste away.... We will be back!

    Lovely Japanese food. The courses are brought one at a time, and there is a cooker in the center of the table so everyone can have their veggies and meat cooked to the level they want. The service has been excellent every time we have been there.

    Food was excellent, but for the price of the Omakase would have expected rice or other accompaniments to be included so that guests can leave feeling full. Vibe was not exciting, extremely quiet, dark, and clientele were not dressed chic.

    If you are going to spend $500 for a 2-person meal, I can recommend 20+ other restaurants that are going to give you a better experience. There is a great divide between the price and the value of this restaurant. The service was mediocre at best, the ambiance was indifferent, and the food was fine, thanks. Take it for what it’s worth, it’s not worth it.

    Do I even need to write a review about how great this place is? We came to celebrate my son's bday who is a BBQ aficionado. It may be expensive Japanese BBQ but service and quality is definitely top notch! We order ala carte and tried all A5 Japanese wagyu meats every piece of meat we tried literally melts in your mouth. Chateaubriand & Rib-Shin is our favorite, loved the garlic Japanese Wagyu Rice. All in all very impressed highly recommended.

    Our experience was spectacular from start to finish; our server, Jonathan, was friendly, fun and knowledgeable - it was our first visit to Yazawa, and he helped us custom-build a menu that was exquisite and oh so memorable. It was our son's birthday and Jonathan and Yazawa made it an evening we will always remember. Five stars, five thumbs up, 14/10 would recommend!

    Overall, the food was amazing. Our waiter was incredibly friendly and helpful. The restaurant had a broken heater the day that we came and it was absolutely freezing. Additionally, the other staff were less than accommodating. However, my wife managed to have a very nice birthday thanks to our waiter.
