About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions

Yakiniku Matsukawa offers an elevated Japanese Yakiniku(BBQ) experience in the heart of Dublin.
We specialise in premium A5 Japanese Wagyu, carefully sourced and served in its purest form.

Our menu focuses on the quality of the meat itself — simply seasoned, expertly grilled, and enjoyed at your own table. Each cut is selected to highlight the natural flavour, texture, and balance that define authentic Japanese Yakiniku (BBQ).

With a calm, refined atmosphere and limited seating, Yakiniku Matsukawa is designed for guests who appreciate craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a quietly memorable dining experience.

    Ça m a rappelé mon voyage au Japon. Acceuil et lieu très chaleureux. Choix de viande top. Carte avec du choix. Avec le Yakiniku difficile que vos habits sortent indemne des odeurs. Mais c’était ok.

    Luckily it was just my group so we had the whole place to ourselves. Premium quality wagyu. Pricey but definitely worth it.

    One of the only traditional Japanese restaurants in Dublin. Nice location, great food and a friendly professional service for reasonable prices. Looking forward to coming back.

    This is a real Japanese Yakiniku style restaurant with excellence. Please do not be confused with steak or Korean BBQ. Full course is much recommended to enjoy dinner time with your important persons.

    There were only two tables occupied the evening we were there. Due to illness, two of our party of 6 could not come on the night. Despite ordering plenty of food for the four of us, we were charged a no show fee of 60 euro for the no shows. This which is a first for me!! I could understand it in a very busy place where a person not showing up means someone denied a table, but the restaurant was empty apart from ourselves and a table of 2. They did allow us take home 60 euro worth of food, but still, come on! I will NOT be going back for this reason and told them so at the time. Our waitress was very apologetic (and I would say embarrassed). We asked her to convey our disappointment to the manager who was somewhere in the back and did not come out to explain. Food: well, it is just raw meat and fish and you cook it yourself, even the vegetables, so I don't think I am commenting on anything other than the quality of the raw produce. No one really liked the Wagyu beef, but that may just be that we are not used to it. The rest of the food was fine. The prawns and scallops were very nice. We asked for more lettuce to wrap the meat but they had run out. Bear in mind, there were only two tables or patrons and our booking was for 5:30pm. There is no wine apart from Japanese fruit wines on the menu.
