Took my boyfriend here for his birthday and 10/10 recommend! We got the wagyu tasting menu and it is definitely worth it—everything is so flavorful and we ended up taking several to-go boxes home because we were so full. Our server Ryu was also amazing and so attentive! He gave wonderful recommendations on which sauces paired with which meats and also selected a sake that was delicious when warmed. Overall a great experience and would absolutely return

We had a great experience. First time eating here. Our friends recommended and it was absolutely delish! Would totally go back. We loved the short rib and skirt steak with garlic rice on side! We had Ryu as server and he was amazing!!

My husband and I dined at the bar and the bartenders Scher and Johnathan gave wonderful suggestions for food. We had sake dassai 39, wagyu Toro, assorted kimchi and namul, shrimp tempura hand rolls and some other items on rthe main menu. I asked Johnathan for all his suggestions and they were absolutely delicious. The beer is so good and so smooth. I have never had a beer like that before. I highly suggest this spot. The dessert is also amazing i had the seasonal shaved ice with mango. I will definitely be back.

Yakiniku Futago in Chelsea is one of the best Japanese BBQ spots I’ve been to in the city. We tried their $75 all-you-can-eat lunch deal, which included US Wagyu, premium Japanese cuts, garlic rice, spicy noodles, desserts, and more. The meats were tender and flavorful without needing any sauce, and the garlic rice was honestly one of the highlights—perfectly seasoned and comforting. The meal also came with appetizers like karaage, fries, and kimchi, making it feel like a complete dining experience rather than just BBQ. Overall, the quality, variety, and atmosphere made it well worth the price, and I’d definitely come back again.

Look! We finished everything. All the meat was good and tender. We enjoyed it so much that we forgot to take a picture! The yuzu beer is something new that I tried; it's delicious. Don't forget to enjoy the dessert; it was perfect. Will come again!!

Had such a wonderful experience here for their AYCE lunch deal! There are 3 options- we had to lowest priced tier at $60 PP. there are apps that you can choose from on top of all the meat. You start pff with a sampler and then you can order whatever you like for round 2. The meat as always is so delicious and perfectly seasoned! I was so stuffed and had such a great meal. The service was also amazing.

We tried their AYCE $60 Japanese bbq menu and it was so good! They give you one of everything for the appetizers and meats so you can try everything before your order additional orders of the items you like! The meat quality is really good I really liked the Kalbi eye and us prime meats. The side dishes were also delicious!

Food was prepped with care and attention. Drinks were also delicious. Customer service was top notch. Menu is a bit on the pricey side but worth it.

Amazing experience at Yakiniku Futago in Chelsea! The meat was top quality - tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Cozy vibes, authentic Japanese BBQ, and wonderful hospitality. Huge thanks to Kumi for organizing our visit. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a standout BBQ spot in NYC!

Went to Yakiniku Futago Chelsea for dinner and really enjoyed the experience. The space has a laid-back vibe with big tables and inset grills, perfect for gathering around and cooking right at the table. I went with the US wagyu set, which came with a nice selection of cuts to grill at the table. The meal included plenty of sides, and I especially liked the potato salad—the roe on top added a nice flavorful crunch. The meat itself was high quality and cooked perfectly by my server. Next time I’d skip the sushi, which wasn’t great—the rice was packed way too tightly, and the sake was a bit sweet for my taste. But apart from those minor misses, it was an enjoyable meal.

I enjoyed the lunch BBQ set—it was great to try a variety of meats, and everything was very tasty. We also ordered extra items like beef tongue and cold noodles. The portions were a bit small, but the flavors were excellent. I especially loved the cold noodles at the end of the meal—they were refreshing and delicious. The restaurant was quiet, clean, and had a nice atmosphere. The Japanese waiters provided great service. However, a beer was mistakenly brought to our table even though we didn’t order it (since it was lunch), and we ended up paying for it. The menu had a good variety of appetizers and meats to choose from. Compared to Korean BBQ, the portions felt a bit smaller, but overall, it was a satisfying experience. I’m looking forward to trying their dinner next time!

TLDR: very small portions that taste good. The lunch AYCE is probably better. Overall, the food tastes good but nothing exceptional among the many competitors in the city. Portions, however, are incredibly small. When the menu says "serves 2-3" on certain items, it will actually serve 1/2 a normal person. I ordered a 3 varieties box, truffle fries, marinated short rib (a la carte), and hot stone garlic rice for 2 people -- that wasn't enough for just me.

My boyfriend and I had a reservation at 1pm but waited for more than 15 minutes to get seated even with tables available. They also sat another table who arrived after us, and it seemed they were very behind as they were rushing us to finish dessert in the end. We tried the restaurant week menu with Wagyu ($30 extra), but all the meat was marinated with the same sauce. The meat tasted very similar and was definitely not worth the extra cost. The kimchi was flavorful but we only were served a single portion.

Complete ripoff! I used to love this place and came here all the time. It used to feel special, with great quality meat, fair portions, and that authentic yakiniku experience. But over the years the prices have kept going up while the portions and quality keep shrinking. The all-you-can-eat is especially disappointing now. The meat isn’t even red or fresh looking anymore, it’s full of fat, tendon, and drenched in heavy marinades that feel like they’re trying to hide how old it is. It’s completely different from the meat you get when ordering an entrée. Even the cold noodles, which used to be crisp and refreshing, have gone downhill. They were overcooked and slimy this time, and the broth tasted old. They used to cost $5, now it’s $9, but somehow everything about it got worse. It honestly makes me sad to see how far this place has fallen. Futago used to be one of my favorite yakiniku spots, but it doesn’t feel honest or premium anymore. No wonder the restaurant is always empty now.
