About Yaki Jin Kew East

Bottomless yakiniku hits Kew East with sizzling tabletop burners and an all-you-can-eat feast for $50 a head. The draw here is marbling and speed—thinly sliced wagyu beef ready for a rapid sear on your personal grill, flanked by rounds of panko-crusted gyukatsu and yakitori skewers. Between cuts of beef, balance the heat with glazed miso eggplant, beetroot-cured salmon, or crisp tempura delivered straight to the booth. Service moves at a swift clip, keeping the table replenished with fresh sushi platters before things wrap up with earthy black sesame ice cream.

  • $50 Bottomless Wagyu: A flat $50 all-you-can-eat spread covering unlimited sliced wagyu beef, yakitori skewers, and fresh sushi made to order.
  • Tabletop Grilling: Personal tabletop burners let you sear thin ribbons of wagyu and gyukatsu to your exact liking right in the booth.
  • Made-to-Order Sides: Offset the richer cuts with sweet miso eggplant, crisp tempura, and scoops of black sesame ice cream.

  • Sizzling Wagyu at the Table

    Marbled wagyu beef slices hit the tabletop grill hot and sizzle quickly, delivering tender texture and rich flavour across multiple rounds.

    The meat is beautifully marbled, tender, and packed with flavour. Once it hits the grill, it’s hard to stop at just a few pieces.

    The Wagyu beef was yummy and melted in my mouth, a little thin though and the salmon platter was super fresh.

    Another must-order is the miso eggplant. It’s rich, slightly sweet, and perfectly cooked, offering a great balance to the grilled meats.

Before you head over

Practical tips on reservations, tabletop grilling, and menu ordering for your all-you-can-eat visit

  • Book a Table in Advance

    Make a table reservation in advance, as busy peak services can fill up quickly and lead to truncated dining times.

  • Grill Thinly Sliced Wagyu Quickly

    Wagyu is thinly sliced for tabletop grilling, meaning it cooks in seconds on the tabletop burner—watch it closely to prevent overcooking.

  • Order Dessert Before Finishing

    Save room and remember to ask staff for dessert before your meal finishes, as cups of black sesame or matcha ice cream are included in the all-you-can-eat spread.
