There's no need to book a flight to try Japan's no. 1 barbecue restaurant. In August, the first branch of Yakiniku King opened in the Philippines, bringing the authentic grill-at-your-table experience to hungry diners and food lovers alike.
This all-you-can-eat restaurant offers three yakiniku sets, which can include up to 110 items ranging from grilled skewers, wagyu beef, sukiyaki-style kalbi, salads, ramen, tempura, and more. Each course promises high-quality meats, flavorful marinades, and fresh sides, providing a true taste of Japan right at your table. Perfect for introverts, orders at Yakiniku King are placed via a tablet located at each table.
Apart from Japanese flavors, Yakiniku King in Manila—the first one outside Japan—serves local fare such as taho in different flavors.
Beyond the food, the restaurant’s warm, wood-accented interiors and spacious booth seating create the perfect setting for family gatherings, friendly get-togethers, or casual celebrations. It’s an experience that blends comfort, authenticity, and value—truly bang for your buck.
Yakiniku King is located at Level 1, North Entertainment Mall, SM Mall of Asia, Pasay City.
Price range: P1,099 - P1,599 per person
