I recently visited this barbecue spot where you cook the meat yourself at the table, very similar to a Korean barbecue experience, and overall it was a really enjoyable visit. The quality of the meat is excellent—fresh, flavorful, and presented beautifully. I ordered a variety of cuts including one portion of Wagyu, which was good, though not the standout I expected. Still, everything else was genuinely impressive, and you can definitely taste the quality in every bite.

The place is on the pricier side. For me as a single person, my total came out to around $100, which is definitely not cheap. But considering the experience, the freshness of the ingredients, and the type of meats offered, it’s understandable. This is not an everyday spot, but more of a “treat yourself” type of place or somewhere you go when you want a quality dining experience.

The atmosphere is nice and modern, and the service is attentive and helpful. When the restaurant gets busy, it can get a bit loud, but that’s pretty normal for this style of barbecue where everyone is cooking, talking, and enjoying the vibe. It still feels fun and energetic rather than overwhelming.

Overall, I’d say this restaurant is worth a visit, especially if you enjoy the interactive experience of grilling your own meat. It’s a great place to try at least once, or to come back occasionally when you’re in the mood for high-quality barbecue and a unique dining experience. Positive vibes, good food, and a memorable night out.

Yamaya Japanese Wagyu & Grill is a Japanese yakiniku specialist in the Torrance area. Ventilation is not bad, but expect to get smelly. The dimly lit dining room is clean and tidy. Servers are friendly, professional and accommodating. Corkage is US$ 25/btl. Food is fresh and of great quality. While side dishes such as Moyashi Namui (US$4.8) and Green Salad ($5.8) are refreshing, the different cuts of wagyu are simply delicious! Highly recommend the crunchy Chef’s Cut Tongue (US$42.8), the juicy Premium Short Ribs (US$ 34.8) and Outside Skirt (US$ 29.8).

The best meats of any Japanese BBQ I’ve ever been to. Real wygu meats, and the others are still very top notch. I’m so happy to have found this place nearby! The best meats without a stuffy atomophere.

Really liked the food. The happy hour menu was priced so you can enjoy many items. The meats were marinated well, and you get the experience of grilling your own food. The atmosphere is typical. The location is convenient if you live in the local area. The only reason this is a 4/5 is because the ventilation didn’t seem all that well (perhaps just our table?). It was smokier than what I’ve typically experienced. I’d still recommend this place to a fellow patron because the food was tasty.

Yamaya is an outstanding place to try Japanese style beef. I had lunch here, we tried the washu beef combo and one of the specials (a rib eye called “supersteak”). Everything was super fresh. The service were helpful and attentive. The best part, was lunch wasn’t too expensive (although I saw dinner could be much more).

Walked in without reservation on a Saturday. Thankfully they sat me.

Good meat.
Good price.

Ventilation needs to be better.

They may be slightly understaffed but was a good overall experience.
