Yazawa Saigon commenced operations in May 2019, establishing itself as the premier Yakiniku BBQ restaurant in Saigon. Specializing in Yakiniku, a Japanese grilling style, Yazawa Saigon is renowned for its exceptional quality and delicious flavors. Apart from its Saigon branch, Yazawa Yakiniku also has branches in Tokyo and Kyoto (Japan), Singapore, Milan (Italy), and Beverly Hills (USA). Currently, their signature ingredient, Japanese black beef, has made its debut in Vietnam.
Located on Dien Bien Phu Street, one of the city's main thoroughfares, Yazawa Saigon stands out not only for its cuisine but also as an ideal space for intimate dining experiences. The private area here can be flexibly divided with partitions based on the number of guests.
While the space here may not consist of entirely separate rooms but is rather separated by thin partitions, it still offers enough privacy for diners to enjoy their meal comfortably. If you require a completely private room, you can still book a special room with its own entrance.

At Samurai BBQ, in addition to the main grilled dishes of American beef, which are deliciously infused with rich sauces, Samurai BBQ 756A Âu Cơ also offers fresh and delicious seafood that is caught and prepared while still alive, marinated in traditional Japanese Teriyaki sauce or the restaurant's special spicy sauce for those who enjoy spicy food.
