This place is clearly well established, interior needs a bit of a refresh to keep up with the quality of the food. The flavour of the harami, kalbi, and rosu were amazing but the beef tongue was the show stopper - I still don’t understand how they’re able to retain soft buttery texture in such a thick cut of meat. Beef tongue is typically sliced thin to compensate for chewy texture, but we got a one inch thick cut that was unreal in both flavour and tenderness. Another grand slam was the green onion ponzu kalbi, solid 10/10.

Wagyu Yakiniku Shimizu serves high-quality beef with excellent marbling and clean cuts. The meat quality is undeniably top-tier, and the service is friendly and efficient. However, the overall experience felt a bit straightforward—lacking the extra flair or surprise that would push it to 5 stars. Still, a solid choice for serious wagyu lovers.

Don’t think too much and just come to get good dinner. Good quality of meat, nice service, clean atmosphere. Everything worth the price.

One of the best yakiniku experience. The lady at the shop is very nice. High quality beef and umami hormone. Reservation for table and thick tongue is required. A

The meat was delicious and the BBQ was clean and hot - what wasn't great was the service. They insisted that a drink purchase was required, even though the locals nearby had water, and they tried to bring us otoshi (compulsory appetizer), but we refused it because no one else had been served one. If looks could kill, we'd be dead, because the hostess was staring daggers at us the rest of the meal. I'm pretty sure we were shorted meat on our order as a result, because we got an uneven number of pieces for an even number of orders. If you're a tourist or visitor, beware, because they will 100% try to take advantage of you. If you're willing to sidestep that, however, the food is excellent (albeit quite expensive).
