Looking for Yakiniku in Berlin? Nikuya Yakiniku is a Japanese BBQ restaurant where guests grill selected meat, seafood, and vegetables fresh at the table. Choose the cuts you want to try, cook each piece to your preference, and enjoy a relaxed meal designed for sharing.
Yakiniku is the Japanese style of table grilling. The word means `grilled meat`, but the experience is about more than the grill. Thinly sliced meat, seafood, vegetables, rice, sauces, and Japanese side dishes are shared around the table so every guest can enjoy food straight from the heat.
At Nikuya, every table has a nearly smokeless electric grill. This lets you enjoy Japanese BBQ in Berlin without the heavy smoke often associated with traditional grilling. The experience suits a date night, a dinner with friends, a family meal, or a celebration where the food becomes part of the occasion.
Nikuya serves Japanese A5 Wagyu alongside selected beef cuts for Yakiniku. Wagyu is known for its fine marbling, tender texture, and deep, rich flavour. Thin Wagyu cuts are usually best with a quick sear so the marbling melts without overcooking the meat. Our team can help you choose a cut and explain how to grill it at the table.
The current selection may include Japanese A5 Wagyu, Australian Wagyu F1/Angus beef, and sharing sets. Please view the current menu or ask the team about today’s available cuts and recommended preparation.
Yakiniku is not only about beef. Add seafood and vegetables to your table grill, then round out the meal with Japanese starters, warm dishes, rice, soup, and sauces. Nikuya also serves Japanese dishes such as Karaage, Yakitori, Tempura, grilled fish, sashimi, and Kansai-style Sukiyaki, giving guests more than one way to explore Japanese flavours.
1. Choose a few different cuts so you can compare texture and marbling.
2. Start with lightly seasoned cuts to taste the beef clearly.
3. Grill thin slices quickly and enjoy them while they are hot.
4. Add vegetables, seafood, rice, and side dishes to balance the richness of Wagyu.
