“Tasty! Quick! Value!”
Yakiniku Like’s slogan — located directly under the restaurant’s name — is eye-catching and, as our less-than-one-hour-dining experience proved, spot on. Located on Keʻeaumoku Street, the Japanese barbecue eatery is celebrating its grand opening today.
The restaurant has locations across the world (including Japan, Hong Kong and Thailand), but this is its first Hawaiʻi location. The business is known for offering high-quality meats at affordable prices.
Yakiniku Like’s mobile ordering systems makes it easy and convenient to order and pay from your phone. Once you’re seated at your table, scan the QR code to view the menu and order.
The menu features sets — which includes rice, soup, salad and kimchi, along with your desired meat — as well as a la carte meat options.
Yakiniku Like is offering its two-meat combo set — kalbi short plate and harami — at a grand opening special price of $9.95 (regular price $20). The sets are available daily for the first 300 customers for the first couple weeks after the restaurant’s grand opening.
A la carte options include premium kalbi short rib ($7.50 for 50 grams, $15 for 100 grams), premium gyutan ($7.50 for 50 grams, $15 for 100 grams), pork belly ($5 for 50 grams, $10 for 100 grams) and chicken ($2.25 for 50 grams, $4.50 for 100 grams).
Three sauces are located at each table — house special (sweet soy garlic), lemon, and sweet and spicy. Of the three, the house special was our favorite.
When you’re finished eating, checkout and pay the bill using your phone.
The restaurant is currently accepting walk-ins only (no reservations for now).
