Manmaruya Japanese BBQ

The Verdict

This Japanese BBQ haunt is just a short walk from Beverly Hills train station. Headed by a chef trained in Japan, Manmaruya Japanese BBQ prides itself on its dedication to quality ingredients, particularly the melt in your mouth wagyu beef that diners crave. Start light with an assortment of sushi and sashimi – you’re gonna need to with the meat-bonanza that’s sure to follow.

Specialising in yakiniku (the Japanese version of Korean BBQ), diners are seated at tables that come with their own grill. Pick from the selection of bite-sized meats on offer ranging from beef short rib to pork tongue and cook them to your liking, making sure to achieve those perfect char-grilled marks. If you’re a little worried about coming down with a case of the meat-sweats, then order the platter that comes with a selection of meat, seafood and vegetables to help balance things out.
