" Absolutely loved this place! I have not tasted such high-quality wagyu in a long time. The experience of grilling the meat at the table was both delicious and entertaining. The staff were friendly and helpful, constantly checking in to ensure we were satisfied. The atmosphere was casual yet upscale, making it a perfect setting for family or friends. Will definitely be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot rave enough about Yamaya! This place is fantastic for wagyu lovers. The quality of the beef is evident, and grilling it yourself makes the dining experience personal and fun. The staff were attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed without being intrusive. It's a great spot for both a casual outing and special occasions. Don't miss the chance to try their signature hot pot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a somewhat mixed experience at Yamaya. Although the meat quality was impressive, we faced issues with the grill temperature control, which led to some uneven cooking. This made the meal a bit less enjoyable than expected. Furthermore, we had a hard time getting the server's attention during busy hours. I hope this will improve on my potential next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Yamaya was decent but could use some improvement. The food was good and I enjoyed the unique dishes, but there was a significant wait for our food which was frustrating. I can tell the staff were trying their best, but it felt understaffed. Although it was not a terrible visit, I might consider other options before returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my visit to Yamaya was disappointing. The beef I received was overcooked, and I didn’t feel like they paid enough attention to my meal. There were a lot of patrons that night, which could have contributed to the service issues. While I appreciated the effort of the waitstaff, I felt it detracted from my overall experience. I wanted to love this place based on the reviews, but it fell short for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" Yamaya is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates authentic Japanese BBQ. The quality of the meats is unmatched. I particularly enjoyed the beef tongue, which was exceptional. The staff were knowledgeable and assisted us with cooking tips, enhancing our dining experience. The only downside was the pricing; it was on the higher side, making it more of a rare indulgence for me. However, the food definitely justified the cost! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had my first experience at Yamaya last week and I was very impressed! The location had a lovely atmosphere which made the meal even better. I ordered the washugyu pound plate combination and shared it with my partner. The beef was incredibly flavorful, especially when grilled to perfection at our table. Service was good, with the staff being friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
