I think this restaurant is one of the best for A5 Wagyu beef. If you're looking for this type of meat, I highly recommend it. There were three of us, and the portion was more than enough. I visited their other branch last year, but it was small. This branch is newer and bigger. I'll definitely visit again.

Yakiniku Panga offers a truly luxurious yakiniku experience with top-quality A5 Wagyu that is exceptionally tender, rich, and full of flavor. The quality of the meat is outstanding and clearly premium. The staff are very professional and attentive, patiently explaining the menu in detail and making sure every cut is prepared exactly as requested. The Wagyu was grilled to perfection, highlighting its natural taste and melt-in-your-mouth texture. The atmosphere feels upscale yet comfortable — clean, spacious, and well-designed, making it perfect for a relaxed but refined dining experience. Considering the generous portions and the exceptional quality of the Wagyu, the pricing is very reasonable and well worth it. A great choice if you’re looking for premium Wagyu with excellent service and a luxurious ambiance.

Kell was our waitress and she was soooo sweet and caring. The staff came and along my friend happy birthday and gave us ice cream. I’ve been to Napa twice and this place was by far my favorite spot for flavorful wagu. Kell recommended the Kiwami special course and it was phenomenal if you have a family of 2 to 4 people you should get it.

I can easily say that Panga is the best chain for halal wagyu yakiniku in whole Japan! I always visit for a tasty platter where I can taste different parts as a set menu with side dishes. Ueno is their best casual restaurant, and we prefer Asakusa one for the special days or when we have guests visiting Tokyo. Always will be back for more!
