About This Spot

Stepping into Yakiniku Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar in Snellville feels like entering a warmly familiar neighborhood gem where genuine connections simmer alongside every dish. While its décor may be modest and unassuming at first glance, the space quickly reveals a comforting rhythm—an inviting blend of bustling energy and laid-back ease, embraced by a team whose warmth is as memorable as the food they serve.

This family-owned spot offers more than just a meal—it presents a chance to slow down and savor the shared moments around the table. The pace here never feels rushed; instead, it invites you to relax, enjoy the company, and engage with the staff, who are attentive without intruding, often building a sense of community that keeps guests returning.

The culinary experience flows naturally from the hibachi grill to the sushi bar, weaving together familiar favorites with thoughtful touches. Whether it’s the rich, satisfying aroma of grilled steak mingling with the delicate textures of freshly sliced sashimi or the comforting warmth of a perfectly seasoned bowl of fried rice, every bite feels carefully crafted to bring joy without fuss. The house-made sauces—tangy, savory, and gently spiced—add layers of flavor that linger long after the meal.

The charm of Yakiniku lies not only in its food but in the human moments that unfold around it. Regulars share smiles across the tables, the chefs’ lively personalities add a hint of theater to the cooking, and servers often become familiar faces who brighten the evening with their genuine hospitality. For visitors and locals alike, this is a place where meals become shared stories and where a routine dinner can unexpectedly feel like a welcoming homecoming.

Some of the best hibachi I’ve had! And This place is the most welcoming by staff. A little mom and pop family owned restaurant, you couldn’t ask for a better experience. The owners of this place are the kindest people. They’re interested and engaging; they make you feel like family. We’ve been in town for a few weeks and have gone about once a week, and when we left for the final time to go home, Mama even gave us a hug! We’ll be back next time we’re in town, for sure!!

Upon entry it wasn’t very appealing regarding decor , but the staff Was friendly and we were seated right away , we noticed everyone that was there were regulars and had been coming for many years and raves about the food and sauces . Our chef was awesome and funny . Very generous on the sauces . The ginger sauce on steamed rice is delicious everything was so flavorful. Will definitely be back!

They have the best fried rice in the business, by far!! I could make a meal out of a double order of fried rice and 2 sides of the amazing ginger sauce that you get along with the yum yum sauce with your meal. They have an outstanding sushi menu in addition to the extensive hibachi menu. I've been eating here for over twenty years and I can honestly say the quality of the food served to me here has been consistently great. Thanks for being a quality service provider and never wavering on your standards throughout the years. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys again soon. FYI, I'm not a big fan of yum yum sauce here or anywhere but my adult daughter believes it's the best you can get anywhere, so much so that she only eats hibachi here and refuses to even try other restaurants.

This place never seems to fail me. I was able to request my favorite server Arcie. He is fun, full of joy and always makes your visit pleasant. I use to live here and moved back to VA. Now I visit Yakiniku whenever I'm in town. Always good food and service. Plus we ordered to go to take back to VA tomorrow. Thank you Arcie

Why was this our first time here?! Our chef, RC, was a great cook, and his engaging conversation made the entire experience even more enjoyable. The service was equally impressive: fast, friendly, and attentive from start to finish. The food? Fresh, well-seasoned, and huge portions. Every bite of our hibachi and sushi dinner was delicious. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Yakiniku’s!
