While Korean BBQ is leading the trend nowdays, Morihachi Yakiniku is still going strong with their Japanese BBQ business. Our first time coming to their TST branch, the place is quite spacious with comfortable bench table seating as well as bar table area if you wish to order a la carte or just for a drink. Each head cost $228 at 6-7.30pm and $268 at 7.30-9:30pm, +$30 during weekends and holidays, and +$50 for free flow house sake and wine by glass.Each set comes with a serving of Australian wag

The Australian wagyu has a strong beef flavour with an average amount of fat, not a bad option to start with.

There are three types of sauce for you to go with, a sweet soya sauce, lemon sauce, and garlic vinegar. Personally I like to have meat with the soya sauce, and deep fried food with the garlic vinegar.

You may add $50 to change the beef to a serving of Japanese Kagoshima Wagyu

Kagoshima wagyu has an obvious higher fat content. It doesn't take a long time to cook. It literally melted in your mouth in no time, I think it's a worth upgrade for the price.

Besides, we have also added $50 to enjoy their alcoholic drinks since we are alcoholics LOL.

Grapefruit sour

Pretty appetitising drink with an adequate sourness. Most importantly, it was not too sweet!

House sake

You may order your sake warm or chilled. I found warm sake sweeter so I always like to have my sake warm. The serving was generous with the jar filled with sake to the top! It was just perfect for two to share! Nice!

Lettuce

We found lettuce on the menu and they also served it with some miso sauce for you to wrap the meat around.

Sakura pork roll with cheese
Bite size x tongue with mixed pepper
Pork belly with leaks and salt
Pietro with leaks and salt
Short Rib

Among them, I found the sakura pork roll with cheese quite interesing and it is not something you can see on the menu of every Japanese BBQ restaurant. Besides, the pietro with leask and salt was really tasty with a great crunchiness after being cooked. It was chewy with a great yuzu flavour!

Short plate
Black pork herbs sausage

We think the short plate was one of our favourite dishes on the menu. It gave a strong beef flavour without being too hard to chew. It was not too fatty which I also liked.

If you don't like too much meat, you may switch to have some deep fried food on the menu. 

Deep fried breaded prawn

My friend who is a big fan of deep fried goodness, she told me this deep fried prawn was a lot better than any other Japanese restaurants out there! Quite surprising!

Cream and Corn Croquette

Comparatively, this croquette was a bit disappointing since it was not creamy at all. It's just a piece of corn hashbrown.

Deep fried chicken cartilage in curry flavour

Their cartilage was deep fried with the same batter as the tempura. Therefore it was quite thick with a hint of curry flavour.

Korean style hand made dumpling

Pretty interesting that they have Korean dumpling on the menu. It was nicely seared with crispy skin.

The filling has a bit of chicken cartilages, giving a nice bite to the dumpling. I really liked it and I think it would be fun for kids to enjoy too!

If you are a health junkie like me, you may go for some lighter dishes like salad or soup. 

Cold tofu with lobster salad

The tofu was super smooth with no powery texture or lumps. It was topped with some light sesame sauce, and a few pieces of lobster meat and shrimp roe to create a great contrast to the soft texture from the tofu! 

If you like tofu, this is a must order for you!

Garlic clam soup

More like a Japanese seaweed clam soup to me. The clam meat was at least fresh and big in size.

Zucchini and organic leaks

We have also ordered a lot of veggie which is to be cooked in a tin foil bowl on top of the stove. The restaurant also provided a dollop of buttter for you to cook your veggie. Everythign was sweet and fresh. Not a bad choice to order if you want something healthier in a BBQ dinner.

The udon was soaked in some light soya sauce soup, topped with shredded crispy seaweed. It was definitely filling and refreshing at the same time, perfect for summer time!

Wagyu hot udon

I liked the hot version better because the soup has a nicer flavour from the small piece of meat, onion, and some musrhoom. The udon was the same as the cold one, which is the thick one that you may find in the market.

Signature ice cream

The tofu ice cream has already run out when we ordered we went for their signature ice cream which is a scoop of vanilla ice cream topped with a little of yellow bean powder, and some light sauce.

Overall, it was not a bad choice for $258 BBQ buffet dinner, especially if you are coming with a bigger group of friends.
