If you’re in the mood for a simple and fuss-free BBQ experience, Hey! Yakiniku offers a decent option for single diners or casual meetups. The restaurant’s concept focuses on quick, solo-friendly grilling, with a menu featuring various meat cuts and seafood.
Their Christmas Special Set provides a balanced selection, including Prime Karubi (120g), Karubi with enoki mushrooms, beef tongue, wild-caught shrimp, and Arabiki pork sausage. While the variety is commendable, all the meat cuts were just average, leaning more toward quantity than quality. The shrimp and enoki mushrooms add some variety to the experience, but they don’t stand out much.
The Hey! Niku Set offers classic BBQ cuts like beef short plate, tontoro, pork belly, and gyutan. While it covers most of the bases for a yakiniku meal, the quality of the meat remains unimpressive, making it more suitable for casual everyday dining.
The Jingisukan lamb leg, however, had a very gamy taste that may not appeal to everyone.
Omma Korean BBQ offers a standout Korean barbecue experience, and the *Beef BBQ Set Menu - Set* showcases their expertise. The meal started with a beautifully tender and buttery beef tartare, lightly seasoned to highlight the beef’s natural flavors and paired with a raw egg, adding a silky richness.
The ribeye, grilled over charcoal infused with pecan wood, was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly smoky. The subtle nutty aroma from the pecan wood elevated the meat’s taste without overpowering it. Similarly, the marinated beef short rib balanced sweet and savory flavors, with a caramelized crust enhancing its richness.
The 2mm sliced brisket cooked quickly on the grill, offering a tender, melt-in-your-mouth experience. The pecan wood added depth, making each bite memorable.
Among the sides, the tuna kimchi stew stood out with its bold, tangy flavors, providing a hearty contrast to the meats. The steamed egg was soft, fluffy, and subtly savory, complementing the stronger flavors perfectly.
The addition of pecan wood to the charcoal made the grilling process unique and aromatic.
