Rengaya - Japanese Yakiniku Restaurant

Review by Daniel Jang

The table setting and atmosphere at Rengaya is divine.

Restaurant Name: Rengaya
Location: Rubi Greenwood Plaza Shopping Centre, 
73 Miller St, North Sydney NSW 2060
Cuisine Style: Japanese Yakiniku BBQ
Price: $50+pp

Today we will be reviewing one of the most famous Japanese restaurants in Sydney - Rengaya. Rengaya is a Yakiniku restaurant located in North Sydney. 

For those not in the know, Yakiniku is a style of Japanese BBQ where cuts of meat - typically Wagyu Beef - are grilled over a wire mesh on top of hot coals. And my Lord does it taste good! I still remember my first experience eating at Rengaya. That moment the Wagyu Chateaubriand touched my tongue, I thought I had died and gone to Heaven - It is that good. 


Wagyu Beef- Look at that Marbling!
There are many other options to choose from including sashimi, salads, yukke (beef tartare with egg yolk and shallots), oysters and much more.

But be warned, dining at Rengaya is not cheap. Indeed, you should expect to pay a minimum of $50 per person to get a taste of what Rengaya has to offer. The last time I went to Rengaya with 3 friends and the total bill amounted to over $350. 


In summary, the dining experience at Rengaya is nothing short of phenomenal. Everything from the service from the Japanese waitresses to the presentation of the food just screamed excellence. However at $50+ per person, it is not a cheap dinner. I highly recommend saving this restaurant for a special occasion like an anniversary or a birthday.
