Explore the Nikuya Yakiniku menu for Japanese BBQ at the table in Berlin. Choose from Japanese A5 Wagyu, selected beef cuts, seafood, vegetables, Japanese dishes, drinks, and sharing sets, then grill each bite fresh at your table.
Yakiniku means Japanese table grilling. It is designed for sharing: choose a few cuts, add vegetables or seafood, and enjoy each piece as it comes off the grill. Our current menu changes with availability, so the live items, cuts, portions, and prices shown below are the best guide for your visit.
Preheat the table grill well, then cook only a few pieces at a time. Thin Wagyu slices generally need a quick sear on each side; leaving them too long on the grill can render too much fat and reduce their tenderness. Start with a lightly seasoned cut, taste it without a heavy sauce first, then add a small amount of sauce or seasoning if you wish. For thicker cuts or a specific cut on the menu, ask the Nikuya team for the recommended grilling time.
Let the grill become properly hot before cooking. Place only a few slices at a time, so each piece sears evenly instead of steaming.
For thinly sliced Wagyu, sear briefly until the surface caramelises, then turn once to finish. Richer cuts need only a short grill time to keep their buttery texture and natural juices.
Let the meat rest for a few seconds, then dip lightly in tare sauce or enjoy with a touch of salt. Eat each piece while it is hot for the best flavour and softness.
For guests looking for Wagyu in Berlin, Nikuya offers Japanese A5 Wagyu alongside selected premium beef cuts for Yakiniku. Wagyu is known for fine marbling, a soft texture, and a rich, savoury finish. Thin slices are best grilled briefly, allowing the marbling to melt while the centre stays tender.
The exact Wagyu origin and cuts may vary by availability. When choosing a Wagyu cut, look for the cut name, portion, current origin, and the team’s grilling recommendation. Our staff can help you compare a richer, highly marbled cut with a leaner, more beef-forward option.
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.
Japanese BBQ is more than beef. Add seafood and vegetables to the table grill for variety, contrast, and a lighter balance alongside rich Wagyu cuts. Grilled vegetables, seafood, sauces, rice, and soup turn a selection of meat into a complete shared meal.
