• Yakiniku • North Sydney
Booked 12 times today
Rengaya has been serving YAKINIKU in North Sydney since 1993, making it one of Australia’s pioneering Japanese barbeque restaurants. Now, that tradition is set to continue at its new digs on Miller Street – just a short stroll from the original location – in a much more modern, striking setting. The new fit-out features bar-counter seats around an open kitchen, red booth seating divided by Japanese-style timber panelling and a hard-to-miss chandelier. There’s also a 20-seat private dining room. We use only the finest ingredients such as Japanese Black Cattle made in Australia for beef, Sashimi and Seafood fresh from the sea. Rengaya is the restaurant foodies around the country have chosen.

    Food was amazing, genuinely one of the best meals we've had in 2024, really nice environment, just what Manly needed. We had the 'build your own banquet' option and every course was wonderful. If you go you must try the beef cheek taco, OMG!

    It was my first time at Yakitori Yurripi and I was amazed by how authentic and delicious the food was. We particularly enjoyed the Miso Cod and Pork Belly - both were sensational! Service was quick and friendly, and the ambience reminds me of an izakaya straight out of Japan. The only thing was that we felt 1.5 hours was a bit short for a booking, however the food is great and we will definitely be back.

    A surprising and happy find. Eclectic menu of smaller share type items with great flavours. Service was very good and friendly and there was a really happy vibe about the place. I didn't see anything on menu for kids so check that if you have younger ones. Interesting wine selection, a bit on the expensive side for what it was. Local beer was very nice. Overall a very good night out for our family reunion in Sydney
