Katori Japanese Yakiniku Restaurant Bar & Grill

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Amazing Japanese BBQ Experience!

I recently visited this Japanese BBQ restaurant in Box Hill, and let me tell you, it was absolutely amazing! The food was incredibly fresh, and the flavors were out of this world. The meat was so tender and juicy, and the variety of options was impressive. I couldn't get enough!

Not only was the food outstanding, but the customer service was exceptional as well. Luke, even on his first day, with the help of Stephanie went above and beyond to ensure that we had a fantastic dining experience. They were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. It truly made our visit even more enjoyable.
It was our first day in Melbourne, came for our honeymoon
If you're looking for a Japanese BBQ spot with incredible food and great customer service, this is the place to go. I highly recommend it! 🍖🔥😄

Beautiful Japanese restaurant in central box hill area. The aesthetic of the restaurant is really nice, with lots of bright pink flowers when you walk in and dark-dim lighting in the interior. Highly recommend trying to boom one of the booths if you boom ahead of time, they are lovely. Highly recommend the Wagyu platters👌

We were here for a birthday so the staff were very helpful with keeping the cake a surprise and bringing it out when it was time. Thank you for making it an incredible experience!

Tried the all you can eat wagyu sukiyaki lunch and it was amazing. The waitress was very helpful and brought plate after plate of meat as we asked for it. The tare was spot on and tasted just like what I've had in Japan. Meat was good quality too. Would not hesitate to have it again

Had the Sukiyaki lunch deal here a week ago and it was very value for money. Really enjoyed it! Beef slices were of very good quality and service was attentive and efficient. Will definitely come back again to try their other items on the menu!

Beautiful place for dine in with luxury Japanese menus to choose. Super Fresh sashimi menu and super delicious A5 WAGYU beef. Don’t forget to try Thai cocktail as well. It so delicious!! Really love the atmosphere when dining there. Staff was so nice to our table.

My wife and I have been trying all of the restaurants in Box Hill. This is one of the very best. The food is outstanding and artistically presented, the service is friendly and knowledgable and the decor is beautiful. It is quite expensive but it is great for a business or family meal where you want to spoil people. One of the best restaurants in Melbourne. Strongly recommended.

Tiana was amazing she took really care of us during our dinner. All my orders were taken care of and she waa very personable. She remembered it was my husband’s birthday. Definitely one of our favourite places to celebrate special occasions. Will be back soon! Thank you Tiana.

Fantastic experience. Fresh and high quality sashimi beautifully presented. Super efficient, receptive and friendly service by Stephenie. Will definitely come again!

One of my favourite yakiniku places.
Superb beef quality, excellent service
Other than the beef my favourite dish was the ini chawanmushi its smooth as silk and flavours are well balanced it’s just perfect

The legends has recently launched a sakura premium lunch set with prettiest sakura deco!! The set comes with the most beautiful and freshest Signature Chirashi and very beautiful Sakura Cocktail💖 A Grade Sashimi was very fresh and the grilled prawn’s flavourful.

We also ordered some extra items and guys the Wagyu Nigiri is a must!!🤯🤯 The foie gras rice is soo creamy BEST FRIED RICE! All desserts such as Choc lava cake and Yuzu Sorbet we tried were divine. Can’t wait to be back for more!

Restaurant atmosphere is excellent, perfect for family gathering. The Wagyu beef Bibimbap is highly recommended and will not blow your budget. We ordered a lot of food and still within my budget. One point I want to make is the prawns for BBQ should be deveined ...

If you are after quality wagyu and sashimi for a special occasion, this is the place to go to. Had the set menu, was more than a hundred per pax, so definitely not an everyday venue for most. A little peculiar as you wouldn’t usually associate boxhill with anything fancy. Service was attentive, but the restaurant can get a little noisy when there are large groups, especially with the proximity of tables. But otherwise it’s awesome.

The restaurant is definitely above the standard and truly bringing in the Yakiniku spirit to Melbourne.

They have an extensive menu including very nice sashimi, and menu you find in izakaya. The meat selection is comprehensive and the waitress recommended a perfect portion for us. They have the Australian MS7-9+ as well as Japanese A5 Wagyu. Truly amazing and reasonably priced (compare to other authentic Japanese Yakiniku).

Definitely will visit again!

Anyone looking for a delicious #yakiniku grill restaurant, premium grade raw fish. Wagyu with high Marble, This restaurant you should try it. It's so delicious and fresh

The atmosphere of the shop is luxurious and comfortable seat. The concept is very close to Japan. If you go to Osaka. What you can't miss is the Yakiniku. Bustling street at night No matter how many times I go back, I never get bored. But when I eat grilled meat at Katori restaurant. it solved my craving very well. We will come back for sure.

Great tasting food and excellent service. Loved all the meats and entrees too.
The dishes were really flavorful.

my partner and i just ate here at katori and i am beyond impressed with the food & service tonight from our lovely server tiana. she made us feel super comfortable and well looked after while spending our time here. i had the slow cooked wagyu with chinese cabbage and my partner had the wagyu platter. the wagyu was so delicious and absolutely melts in your mouth! we are definitely coming back here soon, with some friends next time to show them what they’ve been missing out on haha! once again thank you tiana for your outstanding service, cannot wait to come back and ask for you! thank you katori <33

This is one of the best Japanese restaurants and fine dining restaurants you can find in the Eastern Suburb. When you walk in the space, you can feel the premium and authentic Japanese style interior design. The dining area is spacious. There is also private function room suites your need. There are multiple food choices, incl. different Sushi, Sashimi, Beef BBQ and dessert. The service is also great. The waiter introduced thoroughly about the menu, food options and help you cook the beef. You can feel the quality of food and great cooking skills. There is also a bar which you can drink with your friends. We very enjoy the dining experience and taste of origin Japenese foods. Highly recommended!

Katori is my favorite restaurant in Box Hill. Have been here many times, really friendly staff, fresh food and comfortable environment. The bar is also awesome!! If u like Japanese food, Katori will definitely be a good choice in Melbourne. Highly recommend!!!

Amazing - can't wait to go back again! Food was absolutely amazing and the service was really good too!

I've had heaps of wagyu Yakiniku, but here it's the highest quality and you pay for what you get! The wagyu is just so soft and fresh. It melts in your mouth like it does in Japan. Make sure to get minimum marble score 7. (Score 1 to 7)

Authentic Japanese wagyu.. This is honestly the best in Melbourne, but yes, portion is on small side, but you come here for the experience. Well done guys! Will be back!

Steph the staff member, her service was exceptional with her recommendations! Thank you for helping us have a memorable birthday! Definitely will be back and in terms of quality, still #1 in Melbourne!
