I got a chance to check out Yazawa Saigon last week, and I have to say, it left an impression. I’d heard about their restaurants in Singapore, the U.S., and Italy, but I didn’t really know what to expect. Then I tried the beef and honestly, this isn’t just any Japanese BBQ. The food, the beef, the whole vibe, it was just really, really good. Saigon finally has a place like this.

Unassuming Outside, A Whole Vibe Inside

Blink, and I almost walked right past it. They kept it really low-key on the outside, no flashy signs, no fancy décor, just a very minimal dimly lit entrance. But once I stepped inside, it was a whole different world. Sleek concrete walls, warm wooden accents, and those little Japanese touches like bamboo details and soft lighting just instantly made me feel calm and quietly bougie. It’s the kind of spot that works perfectly for a date night or a business dinner, but probably not the best pick for a loud family gathering.

Let's Talk Beef!!!

Let’s talk beef. Not just any beef - this is A5 Wagyu, the highest grade in Japan and truly the crème de la crème.
