LA Wagyu Sukiyaki AYCE Showdown: Mikiya vs. Yumiyaki π²π₯©
LAβs two hottest Wagyu sukiyaki AYCE spots β Mikiya and Yumiyaki β are owned by the same boss, and memberships work at both. Recently tried them back-to-back. Mikiya offers four price tiers. Only the $78 and $98 options include A5 Wagyu, with the $98 tier offering unlimited appetizers and certain meats. We chose $78 β each person picks one appetizer (Wagyu sushi, bone marrow, beef tartare, etc.). More seafood options than Yumiyaki.πβ€οΈ Yumiyaki is newer, with two tiers: $78 and $88. The $88 tier includes unlimited A5 cuts (except ribeye). Recommended: A5 Chuck Roll. Each person also chooses one premium appetizer (Wagyu tartare, uni-toro bowl, etc.). More sashimi options than Mikiya. Overall, the meat quality is similar at both β you can definitely eat your fill of good Wagyu.ππ But value-wise, both feel a bit overpriced β after tax and tip, per person hits $100+, and besides meat, there arenβt many other highlights. Yumiyaki is slightly better since it includes unlimited Wagyu sushi and sashimi. Both have DIY sauce stations that look a bit basic β feels far from the variety youβd get at similar AYCE spots in Asia.ππ Verdict: Good for an occasional meat feast, but keep expectations in check.πβ€οΈ Seafood lovers β Mikiya Prefer more variety beyond meat β Yumiyaki (I slightly prefer this one for the unlimited Wagyu sushi) #LAFoodFinds #LAEats #LASukiyaki #LAWagyuSukiyaki #WagyuSukiyaki #SukiyakiHotPot
