IWA Japanese Yakiniku - Japanese restaurant in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City

Wow. The beef dishes were excellent. Top quality. Service was also good and the somen was very memorable. Glad we found a new place in HCM!

Excellent Japanese restaurant & bbq. Everything I had was delicious. The service was top notch too. I recommend the pork shoulder & the salmon sashimi. Price to quality ratio is very good

Had a great time in a resort-like atmosphere and professional table side service. They have open areas and private dining room. Good for both casual and business meals. Fresh ingredients and tasty food, along with professional services. Special call out on the otoro and garlic seafood rice from me and A5 wagyu beef by my wife. The restaurant is a bit on the pricey side but the orders and prices are calculated in the iPad when you order.

The restaurant's decoration is quite striking, with a luxurious and friendly Japanese and Middle Eastern style. The grilled items here are very special, and the staff provides table-side service and detailed descriptions of them. One dish that really stood out was the "Snow Salad"; I believe it was my first time trying it, and I found it quite unique. The restaurant has a spacious and very clean atmosphere, and the staff is very welcoming. Once again, I really enjoyed the view and the overall perfection of the place. I'll be back.

Tried this restaurant with a friend who also had an interest in Japanese food. The place was very decorative with a nice garden touch at the entrance. The dining area is spacious with huge stone table. The only issue I had was the table was a bit too high and thus sitting comfort while eating is not perfect. We had their 2.5mill vnd set menu containing both seafood sashimi and different cut of japanese wagyu beef from Hitachi area. The starter was simple, not much woow for me. Some was tasty but some were just blend. The soup was not for my tasting. The sashimi was fresh, and the beef was very tender and tasteful. However, I am not so fan of beef tongue and there were a few of those cut in the serving. Overall, we had a good dinner, but it was very quiet in the huge restaurant as it was only us there. I myself prefer a busy restaurant. Service was excellent, but food could be better. A romantic place, but not much view, you only see the garden with big leafes blocking the window.
