About Ren Yakiniku Japanese Charcoal BBQ

Sunnybank’s Ren Yakiniku serves up an authentic Japanese charcoal barbecue feast where you grill cuts directly over live coals. Tables center around built-in grills fitted with smoke exhaust hoods, keeping the booth air clear while marbling sizzles. Regulars gravitate toward the Deluxe package—a tier offering unhurried dining time alongside wagyu slices, salmon sashimi, and seasoned beef yukke. Orders land via digital screens at rapid speed, leaving plenty of room to pair plates of panko ebi and pork belly with cold Sapporo beers.

  • Tabletop Charcoal Grilling: Diners grill wagyu and cuts over active charcoal right at the table, imparting rich smoke flavor.
  • Deluxe Unlimited Dining Time: The Deluxe course removes standard dining cutoffs, letting groups eat at an unhurried pace.
  • Booth Comfort and Fast Screen Ordering: Private booths feature digital table ordering and overhead exhaust systems to keep smoke away.

    Effective exhaust ventilation over the tabletop grills ensures clothes and dining areas remain clear of barbecue smoke.

    The grill worked really well , and exhaust fans were great compared to some other places we had been.
