About
Yakiniku Like brought its distinctive fast-casual yakiniku format to Soho's Greek Street in 2022, marking the European debut of a chain with over 260 locations across Japan and Asia, operated by Japan's Dining Innovation Group. The concept is designed around individual smokeless table grills, meaning each diner has their own personal grill regardless of group size — making it ideal for solo diners in a format rarely catered for in traditional BBQ restaurants. The menu centres on Japanese wagyu, karubi short rib, harami skirt steak, and a range of seasonal cuts, with lunch and dinner sets offering excellent value. A sister location operates at Westfield Stratford. Open seven days a week until 22:00, it is accessible and democratic.
