    This place deserves 5 Stars! The best restaurants I've been to. 😍 Unlimited wagyu, skewers and sushi for only $50 per person! Can't get a better deal than this. All the food was magnificent!!!! Great quick service. The atmosphere was so nice. Love the decor and vibe. Definitely need to come backkk! The sesame icecream was so delicious.

    ★★☆☆☆

    Very disappointing dinner. We waited long for our food, and several of our orders never arrived at all. Even after raising it with staff and escalating the issue, nothing really happened and the dishes still didn’t come. We were honestly stunned. The service is extremely slow and inattentive. The ordering system clearly isn’t working, because orders seem to just disappear without anyone noticing. If this is how the system operates, it seriously needs to be fixed or staff need to be far more attentive. While some dishes were tasty, not all of the food was good, and the overall experience was frustrating from start to finish. You really need to fix the ordering process because right now it’s failing customers. Would I come back? No.

    ● Jan 2026 ● 3 stars 🌟🌟🌟 This is how I feel overall for the experience at Yaki Jin Kew East. We went for our anniversary and requested a highchair and space for pram in our booking. We got there and the table wasn't prepared but luckily there was a space to next to the table. It was Friday night so understandably busy and crowded. Food was good but limited dishes. Also, some dishes weren't quite good. For example, fried chicken ribs taste funny like it's a bit off so we didn't eat it. Gyoza was wet at the bottom and tagoyaki was a bit gluggy. Wagyu was quite good and sushi was good as well but I wish there was more varieties. Service was okay, a little bit slow during busy hours but understandable. I think it's worth the money so you can try them out. Thank you for your service.

    Unlimited Wagyu Beef Yakiniku, Katsu, Salads, and a variety of other entrees for AUD 50! Fresh seafoods, and good quality meat. Not bad at all! They also serve complimentary tea upon request too! Very friendly service from the staffs ☺️ 🍣🥩

    ★★★★☆

    You have to book in advance. There are a lot of customers and the restaurant is quite noisy. The smell of grilled meat is wafting through the air. This branch also has grilled meat, which is good. The meat is delicious. As for the raw fish, I didn't like it that much, especially the salmon carpaccio, which was a scary bright pink. As for the fried food and sushi, it was still okay. I think the other branch is better.
