One of the greatest advantages of living in Hawaii is the wide variety of delicious foods available — and few foods are better than yakiniku. Of course, the staff at Sura Hawaii understands that some people may be uncertain about how to make the most of their first yakiniku experience. They want to share some advice to get you started on the right track.

5 Tips for a Great Yakiniku Experience

1. Pick Your Meats

Yakiniku restaurants offer a range of meat, seafood, and vegetable selections. If the sheer number of options seems overwhelming, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Your chef can help you choose a menu option that you’d enjoy.

2. Watch a Master Chef

One of the unique elements of a yakiniku restaurant is that the food is cooked directly in front of you. Many chefs bring personal flair to their cooking, turning your wait time into an exciting performance. You can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

3. Cook It Yourself

If you’re feeling adventurous, many yakiniku restaurants allow you to cook your food yourself. You can cook your meal exactly how you wish — from medium-rare to well done.

4. Take It off the Grill

Whether you’re doing the cooking yourself or watching a master chef at work, be sure to take all the food off the grill once it is finished cooking. Otherwise, you might burn part of your meal.

5. Choose a Sauce

Another key element of a yakiniku restaurant is the sauce. Most restaurants offer several specialty sauces. Don’t be afraid to try multiple varieties to see which one you like best. Each sauce lends its unique flavor to your dinner.
