Meat Time Yakiniku

Japanese-style BBQ Experience

Greetings from Us

At Meat Time, we believe yakiniku is more than just grilling meat — it’s a way to connect.

We want to be a reason where stories are shared, laughter begins, neighbors become friends, and new memories are made. We’re not a big, fancy restaurant. We’re your local spot — the kind that remembers your face, your drinks, your favorite cut and sauces. Every dish and every “welcome back” is prepared with care by us with the hope that we earn your trust.

Thank you for making Meat Time part of your days. We’ll keep doing our best — one grill, one conversation at a time.

— Kota & the Meat Time Crew
