Convenient, quick fix bbq meal without the clean up. DIY Karubi beef set meal from $9.90 comes with thin beef slices, rice, soup and salad. Pork and chicken are available too, with side dishes of mushrooms or pumpkins. Our family certainly enjoyed the bbq.

This place is a no-frills yakiniku dining. Disposable cutleries, no free water provided and orders made through mobile. Quality of the meat is quite good and prices are reasonable. Would definitely be back! But they should at least provide free water..
