HIBIKI YAKINIKU 響家

Hibiki Yakiniku gave us a fantastic first impression when we walked in. The setting is really nice, and I enjoyed the modern/city-pop Japanese music playing in the background. The wagyu was something very special. It was our first time trying it, so we were surprised how small (and few) the slices were, but they were melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Pretty pricey menu, but delicious, and worth trying once.

We ordered the Assorted  Kimchi, Premium Japanese and Australian Wagyu Platter, Wagyu Ribeye, Pork Belly and Grilled Misoyaki Kingfish. The Assorted Kimchi was a bit disappointing as it only consisted of a seaweed salad, pickled cucumber and standard kimchi, albeit they still tasted OK.
The pork belly was a standard cut you could get from the butcher so nothing to rave about there. The kingfish was a tad overcooked, however it was delicious! The smoke in the fish went really well with the fruit sauce (mind you, I've never been a fruit sauce person) and the slight peppery-ness from the raw radish went well with the oily fish.

The main fare - the beef - did not disappoint. The cuts were that fresh and marbled that they don't even need the soy/sweet sauce that came with them (and that says something coming from a sauce fanatic). Our favourite cuts were the short rib and sirloin (of course) as they tasted the 'beefiest' and simply melted in your mouth.

Service was OK as food was quick to be served and servers were attentive, though it was slightly annoying how they tried to clear some dishes really quickly and also left others uncleared. Overall, it was a memorable night as my husband and I enjoyed each other's company slowly grilling and savoring some high quality beef. We will return. [Total Bill exc.drinks = $143]

Bad experience, dont waste your precious time here. They forgot my bbq order and i waited for one hour - and no apologise from anyone. Maybe they dont care about their service at all:)
