From Tokyo to Union Square — Yakiniku Great has officially opened its first U.S. location right here in Union Square. 🥩✨⁠ ⁠ Executive Chef Shoji Tsugawa has one vision: to create the best yakiniku restaurant in the world. To do that, he knew he had to bring Yakiniku Great to New York—one of the world's great food cities and a place where cultures and cuisines come together.⁠ ⁠ One of Chef Tsugawa's earliest memories of New York was enjoying a meal at the former Republic restaurant, just steps from where Yakiniku Great now stands. Opening in the same neighborhood makes this a true full-circle moment for him.⁠ ⁠ At Yakiniku Great, the philosophy is simple: let the ingredients speak for themselves. The restaurant serves lean cuts of premium Japanese Wagyu that's chilled, never frozen, and air-shipped directly from Japan to New York, preserving the clean sweetness, rich umami, and silky texture that define exceptional freshness.⁠ ⁠ Yakiniku Great offers a dining experience unlike anywhere else in the city.⁠ ⁠ We're excited to welcome Yakiniku Great to Union Square!⁠ ⁠ 📍 12 W 17th St, Union Square
