Phuket Yokocho Yakiniku ภูเก็ตโยโกโจว — a brilliant mess, and I love it
Listen up. This restaurant sits at a very respectable 4.6 out of 5 from 127 reviews — that number alone tells you most people leave satisfied, but the details reveal a violent swing between bloody brilliance and occasional frustration. Expect to be thrilled and irritated in equal measure. Read this if you want to know when to cheer and when to hold your fork like a weapon.
Service: fast, friendly, and oddly reliable
Staff friendliness and rapid serving come up repeatedly in the data. One reviewer praises the food and names the service as great with fast serving and nice staff. That pattern suggests front-of-house training is solid; they move quickly and treat customers well. If you hate waiting, this place will soothe you. If you crave theatrical, slow dining, temper expectations.
Format and comfort: buffet, sushi, grill — with air conditioning that matters
The place advertises a grill and Japanese sushi all-you-can-eat setup and has an air-con dining room. That tells you exactly what to expect physically: a casual, buffet-driven environment built for many plates, not a teatime tasting menu. The cold air and abundance of choices make it comfortable for groups and aggressive eaters.
Menu personality: yakiniku backbone with Korean-Japanese twists
The concept is yakiniku-style buffet with a noticeable push toward Korean fusion alongside Japanese offerings. That combination is exciting and chaotic; expect marinades, bolder flavors, and cross-cultural dishes that can either sing or clash depending on execution.
The meat paradox: sublime wagyu, uneven beef elsewhere
One guest calls out genuinely high-quality wagyu beef — tender, expensive, and worth the praise. Another guest who paid for the 899 buffet reports seafood as excellent but found the beef underwhelming for that price. Translation: splurge on the premium wagyu options if you want the knockout blow; treat generic buffet beef with suspicion. There is a sharp quality gap between the top-tier cuts and the bulk offerings.
Seafood and value: the 899 buffet is fish-centric heaven
The 899 buffet is singled out for outstanding seafood; fish lovers are explicitly encouraged to go. If your personal metric of value is shellfish and sashimi, you will feel like you’ve won. The same price point does not guarantee equal returns across all proteins, so pick your targets wisely.
Price versus perception: pricey but fair for what’s premium
At least one reviewer labels the place as pricey yet good value, specifically citing the wagyu. That tells you the establishment charges premium for premium cuts but delivers on that promise when you opt for them. If you avoid the high-end items expecting uniform excellence, you’ll be disappointed.
Practicalities that matter
- Open every day from 12:00 to 22:00, so midday or late dinner works equally well.
- Payment is modern: accepts credit cards, debit cards, and NFC — you won’t need cash.
- Parking is generous with both a free lot and free street parking available — easy for groups driving in.
- Located in a mixed commercial area with tailors, pharmacies, condominium buildings, and massage shops nearby, which makes it convenient to combine with errands or pre-dinner pampering.
Who should book a table and who should be cautious
- If you are a fish eater or love sushi and all-you-can-eat formats, go full throttle on the 899 option — you’ll leave happy.
- If you chase high-grade beef, order the premium wagyu a la carte instead of relying on generic buffet servings.
- If speed, group dining, and chilled air-con comfort are priorities, this place has you covered.
- If you demand uniformly excellent beef across every menu item, lower your expectations or pick a different steakhouse.
Final verdict — loud applause, pointed critique
This place delivers big hits: stellar wagyu when you choose it, seafood that genuinely impresses, prompt service and a comfortable, buffet-friendly room. It also fumbles in the gaps: inconsistent beef quality across price tiers and the usual buffet trade-offs. Go here with a plan — decide whether you’re hunting top-tier wagyu or feasting on seafood — and you’ll have a cracking night. Screw the vague guessing game; order smart, pay for the good cuts, and enjoy it before the whole town catches on.
