Aburiya (Robertson Quay) Japanese Wagyu Yakiniku

Wah, wagyu beef here really shiok — nicely marbled, melt in your mouth. Staff very attentive, make whole experience even better. I got so excited bbqing, forget to take photo of rest of meats already! Apart from beef, got pork and other dishes like noodles, ramen, egg omelette. My favourite belly portion, fats very shiok. For premium melt-in-mouth meats, check early pages of menu; if want more quantity, mid-menu selection good. Assorted platter also steady for first-timers. Overall, service level very impressive — polite and always on point.…Read More

If you love Japanese Wagyu, Aburiya at Robertson Quay is a must-try. I came here with friends and immediately fell for the cozy riverside vibe and intimate booths; it feels fancy without being intimidating. The highlight, of course, is the beef. I tried the Kagoshima Sirloin and it was melt-in-your-mouth incredible, with buttery, perfectly marbled goodness. The Wagyu Gyukatsu was a fun twist, crispy outside and tender and juicy inside. I also loved starting with the Wagyu Roast Beef Salad; it was light and refreshing before the indulgence began. The sides, like Namuru Mori and Kimchi Mori, balanced the rich meat really well. Staff were friendly and made grilling at the table easy and fun. Definitely a place I would return to for special occasions or any excuse to eat top-notch Wagyu.…Read More

I tried the Kiriotoshi Tokumori platter and kimchi soup which balanced the richness. Grill it yourself quickly on the charcoal grill they use and it’s smoky and flavourful without leaving you smelling like barbecue. The wagyu that I ordered melts upon touching your mouth. highly recommend you reserve before you go as it is always busy…Read More

If you love Wagyu, is hands down one of the best spots in town. The beef is melt-in-your-mouth amazing. Every bite is juicy, tender, and packed with rich, buttery flavor. Their Tokusen Wagyu Sirloin is a must-try! Grilling it yourself over charcoal just elevates the experience. Don’t miss the Wagyu Gyoza and the Wafu Hamburger Steak either as it was absolute winners. Trust me, if you want premium Japanese yakiniku that hits every note, this place is a must-visit!…Read More
