Friday night we went out to dinner at a Yakiniku restaurant in Yokosuka. At a Yakiniku restaurant, you sit at a table and are provided a pot of charcoal coals to cook your food. This particular restaurant was located on the top floor of the More City mall in Yokosuka. We were seated at a table and told to remove our shoes and place them in a little cubby behind our table. The table had a hole in the center and the pot of coals and grill were placed in it.

We were provided English menus and when we were ready to order, we pressed the button on the table.

We ordered an appetizer of kimchi. It wasn’t my favorite. The beer was refreshing!

For dinner, I ordered shrimp and a side of ramen.

The ramen was good. It also provided another opportunity to play with my food. It was served with a mortar and pestle to grind the sesame seeds.

The Yakiniku restaurant was a fun date night. It gives you the opportunity to chit chat while the food is cooking and the table provided privacy from other customers. The waiter call button was a simple way to get the waiter’s attention without them having to constantly check on you.
