Check out the full video food review for Don Don Yakiniku BBQ Restaurant in Kabukicho

Don Don Yakiniku BBQ Restaurant is my favourite yakiniku restaurant in Tokyo. Yakiniku simply means grilled meat. Here at Don Don you grill your food on small Japanese BBQs (called Hibachi) which sit on your table with hot coals inside.

We ordered up some plates of Wagyu beef, sirloin beef, beef tongue, chicken thighs and some vegetables, corn, onion and green peppers. The menu has more exotic cuts of meat including intestines, beef stomach, liver, kidneys and lots of other offal which the Japanese do not like to waste!

Don Don Yakiniku Restaurant gets busy later in the evening. I have been here more than 5 times and I usually get there early evening and never had a problem getting a table. They have tables down the back of the restaurant or you can sit along the bar area which runs the length of the restaurant.
