Recognised as Best Japanese Restaurant – Highly Recommended in Gourmet Vietnam Awards 2025, Yazawa Hanoi elevates the art of yakiniku into a study of precision and provenance. Premium Japanese Black Wagyu, curated wines and disciplined craftsmanship converge in an experience defined by quiet luxury and uncompromising standards.
In the evolving landscape of Hanoi’s fine dining scene, Yazawa Hanoi stands as a temple devoted to the mastery of Wagyu. Rooted in the globally respected legacy of “Yazawa Beef,” the restaurant brings to Vietnam a philosophy shaped by decades of dedication to Japan’s most prized Japanese Black cattle.
Each cut is meticulously shortlisted from exceptional Japanese Black Wagyu, selected for lineage, marbling and depth of flavour. The result is beef distinguished by its silken texture, intricate fat distribution and lingering umami. On the grill, the transformation is controlled and almost ceremonial: flame meets marbling, releasing aromas that reveal both patience and precision.
The Yazawa name has long earned admiration from discerning gourmands and international tastemakers, drawn by its uncompromising standards. At Yazawa Hanoi, that reputation is upheld with calm assurance. Every slice is presented with restraint and respect; every grill is managed to highlight the meat’s natural sweetness rather than overwhelm it.
Beyond yakiniku, the menu extends into a broader expression of Japanese culinary culture. Refined appetisers, pristine sashimi selections and thoughtfully composed rice dishes unfold in harmonious sequence.
A dedicated sommelier oversees more than 70 wines and sakes, crafting pairings that enhance the dialogue between flame-kissed Wagyu and fine vintages.
The interior balances contemporary minimalism with subtle traditional cues, creating a setting suited to intimate evenings, milestone celebrations and private gatherings. Service is attentive yet discreet, allowing the ritual of grilling to unfold at an unhurried pace.
