Yakiniku West Reviews
Easter Sunday NYC 2024, many retail stores were closed for the 1st time. The hat parade by St. Pat's on 5th was disrupted by protesters, but the weather was sunny, windy and relatively mild. Central Park was packed and we decided on sushi for dinner in the East Village. We wanted to go to Hasaki, but they were closed for Easter.This restaurant Yakiniku West (not sure why "West", this was the East Village ?) was next door. There was no line at 7:30pm, dinner primetime. Let's try...read full review
Food is good. Quality of meat is good. Unfortunately they are way understaffed so service was very slow. Not the fault of the server, as she was literally only person serving 8 tables, taking order, serving, and cleaning the tables.

Yakiniku West in the East Village offers good quality meat and food, though some items seemed pre-cooked. Despite the friendly server, the restaurant was understaffed, leading to slow service. The extensive all-you-can-eat menu had delays in receiving items, with orders needing repetition multiple times. Seating was quick on the 2nd floor, but the kitchen being downstairs caused service issues. Overall, the experience was mixed, with a rating of 6 out of 10 for food quality. Despite the challenges, the price for a filling meal, including gratuity, was considered fair at around $180. Consider trying again, but opt for the first floor seating next time.
