Arita Yakiniku Restaurant

The Wagyu rib eye and marinated beef was good, that's the only positive thing about this place. The rest of the meat was dry. The service was really bad. The waitress couldnt be bothered to help us and explain how everything works. It looked like our presence annoyed them.

Closed when google stated it was open.

Delicious but very pricy as you also need to order some sides to be able to be full.

High quality authentic Japanese bbq. The meat is excellent but I also loved the side dishes and drinks :) recommend making reservation beforehand

This is by far the best Japanese I have eaten sofar in/near Amsterdam. The service is super friendly. Don't come here for a cheap and quick meal. They serve the proper Wagyu beef and it is just delicious. Large Asahi beers and good Sake. Will certainly come back.

Visited this recently and enthousiastic staff with good japanse BBQ, yeah.

Amazing restaurant, from the meats to the choice of wine/sake

Great authentic Japanese style restaurant, with the atmosphere of being in Tokyo. Good selection of beef and vegetables which you have to cook yourself on the Japanese style grill, located at every table.

Friendly staff, intimate.

Delicious food, great service and gezellig atmosphere.

Excellent food and great value!I was dining with my brother and two friends during my bachelors trip to Amsterdam and really loved the Korean Grill experience. The prices were very reasonable and the staff was very friendly (patiently answering all questions).We have ordered the Wagyu Rib-eye Steak, Premium Wagyu Kalbi, Wagyu Kalbi, Wagyu Spring Roll, and the Wagyu & Tonkotsu Ramen (same order as the pictures).The only reason I gave this place 4 stars is the location - located in the outskirts of Amsterdam, a taxi till cost you about 25 euros and ~25 min from Amsterdam central, or about 10 euros and ~40 min with public transportation.If you like special cuts of beef & specifically Wagyu - very recommended!

Charming staff and excellent meat create a good setting for an interactive dinner. If you are a meat lover, you will love this place. Leave your vegan friends home and enjoy the various types of beef and spice them up with Korean and Japanese side dishes. And then order again. It's the kind of place you easily build up a serious bill, and you'll realize that good food is worth it. My favorite to close it up is the Cherry blossom brownie with matcha ice cream (ask for that flavor). Enjoy!

Very good service and the wagyu was amazing!!!

Yakiniku (Japanese barbecue) restaurant. The quality of the meat was very good. Bibibap was also excellent. Service was great and very attentive. We really enjoyed our dinner here. Quality comes with a price, a dinner for 2 with a combination meat platter, bibibap, a side dish, dessert and beer came just under 100 €, but we found the price more than fair for the quality. Strongly recommended for those looking for authentic Japaneses food, and meat lovers.

Perfect and friendly service and really tasty meats. Great ambiance

The portion was reasonably okay. And beef quality is also to standard.

Great Wagyu BBQ + great service!

The best Japanese food I ate so far in Europe

Do not know how the restaurant is. But in the Japanese fair held in Amstelveen today they had a stand and delivered a poor, cold and chewy beef charged at delicatessen price (8 euros). It felt like a total rip off. If you charge this amount, at least have the decency to offer a good product.

One of the few places where Japanese wagyu can be eaten. We got A5 kalbi wagyu instead of the A4 written on the menu. Prices are reasonable for the quality meat. Highly recommended.

Good quality of food; reasonable price; good service; nice ambiance; Overall, I would recommend it to any meat lovers.

An absolute delight. Went with friends and had a wonderful time trying the different kinds of meat and drinks. An authentic experience in Amsterdam that's easily accessible by public transportation.

Salads are a rip off but meat is ok. Some cuts are too cheap and you can taste that. Go for the expensive kinds and you will love it. They should improve the cleaning of the glasses. They all looked dirty and we had to ask for other glasses. These arrived dirty as well.

Delicious wagu beef.

Great food, great staff.. love it.. bit too expensive unfortunately

The food and beef were great! But it's all the same and there is not alot of varity in flavours.

A very good place to eat, only if you really like beef though. The selection of food is very small and consists only of beef with some side dishes. But the beef you get is the cream de la cream, the best of the best, especially the tsubozuke (marinated). It's tenderness is mind blowing and the flavor is tongue melting. This all does come at a price though. Except to be paying about 40 to 80 euros per adult

I will let the pictures to speak for themselves. Absolutely stunning!

Amazing food and great service. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Such good wagyu restaurant!

Great variety of meat. Always a nice experience because of the great service.

Not bad, not the best. Quality of the meat is good.

Authentic Japanese Wagyu. The food was amazing and the staff very nice. Follow the recommendations, you won't regret it. Definetly a repeat!

I would really like to do give more stars but this service is unacceptable. I called there month ago to make a reservation for two. The first call was terrible because I spoke to a lady who couldn’t talk english. That’s the reason why they called me last week and said I had my reservation for last week and not for the following week. Then I explained to another lady on the phone that my reservation is for the following week and she gave me her promise to change the reservation. However, we drove here 300km and also from our hotel 50 minutes only to get the message there is no reservation for us. I looked really forward to eat in your restaurant but with this situation, I will never go to the restaurant again. I will hope that other people will make sure their reservations are made by people who understand your name and also the date.

Coming home to Japan! Amazed by the quality and food. Also very authentic because of japanese waiters. Prices are not cheap, but worth the experience.

Authentic Japanse BBQ. Good quality and very polite service!

Finally, decent yakiniku place in NL. Super good quality, charming staff, reasonably priced. Reservation recommended.

Great Yakiniku style place. Super friendly staff. The location is totally inconspicuous, you can pass it by ten times without noticing it. Meat is great quality. One thing I did not like was that we ordered some pickled cabbage and they seem to have run out and replaced it with fresh salted cabbage...

BBQ was nice but felt quite a bit for not a lot. I went here for lunch before this particular visit and the rice, steak, and salad dish was absolutely amazing. For me the evening meal here didn't quite live up to the first experience. I'm sad to see that the opening hours have changed and they are not doing those lunch meals anymore. It was May main reason for going back!

Amazing quality! Authentic Japanese barbecue place. Everything was served beautifully. They provide A4 wagyu beef as well. Definitely not to miss out when there are special events on the fork for discounts.

Very nice experience! Friendly staff and the meat was really good. I dont recommend a lot of restaurants but this is one of the few that I will recommend. The prices are good compared to what they give you in return. I was there with the Groupon deal and we had 800gram meat for me and my girlfriend. Prices can get high but the meat is definitely worth it. (I am a meat lover) Also ordered some side dishes. The restaurant is not really big but small and cozy. Make sure u have a reservation when you want to go for dinner. The restaurant is very populair by the local japanese community.

This place is excellent, I just wish it was a bit cheaper. We'd be there much more often if that was the case

My wife and I have been to this restaurant a couple of times now and it just keeps getting better! This time we went there to celebrate her birthday and the very friendly staff surprised her with a handmade card and a personal note. They also provided a special non alcoholic sparkling drink as they know she does not drink. I enjoy the occasional sake and they serve a very nice 'house' version. Kanata also stocks a variety of other high grade sake's.The main event is the Japanese BBQ and the menu boasts a large selection of great quality beef and other goodies. We went for a sharing platter and added a few of our favourites like fried garlic, corn on the cob and extra rib-eye. Everything is presented beautifully and you can tell the chef knows his business.The front of house ladies are very attentive, friendly and super polite but not at all distant so you feel right at home. We will be back!

Terrible service Terrible food Bad hygiene And it smell bad

Nice food, very friendly staff, recommend 👍

Feels like eating in Japanese authentic Yakiniku-ya (Japanese grilled meat restaurant). High quality Japanese beef.

Had a lovely meal 2 months ago. Though it says 750gr is for 3-4p, 2-3p is a better indicator. We made use of a groupon deal with 4/5variaties of wagyu and 1 iberico. As an extra we ordered premium a5 wagyu from Gunma =Japan) as comparison. It was SO good. Only premium dishes are from japan in the a5/top range. The rest is a bit lower on the marbling but still good. Staff was very welcoming. Looking forward to a future return.

Juicy meat! However, not marinated andsometimes you have to wait long before your dishes arrive.

Had the mega wagyu combination which is meant for 5-6 persons (but 3-4 persons would be a better indication) Korean pancake and the kalbi soup. The pancake and soup were bland. The beef was ok to good and the staff was very friendly. We made use of a Groupon, if we would've paid the original price I would deduct 1 star.

One of my new favourites ! We had a Groupon voucher for today and as it was our first time, we didn't expect it would be this great ! The food was delicious. We ordered Ramen, Korean Pancake, all sorts of meat, Gyoza (handmade ! Mouthwatering !) And bimbimbap. The service was outstanding, quick to help us out and always with a smile ^^
