This fusion hotspot lets you play chef at your own table, grilling premium meats to perfection right before your eyes.

With melt-in-your-mouth meats, vibrant flavors, and an energetic atmosphere, Yami is transforming Boynton Beach’s dining scene one sizzling grill at a time.

Menu Highlights

Korean BBQ Experience: The star attraction here is undoubtedly the Korean BBQ meat selection.

Choose from high-quality meats like prime bulgogi, thinly sliced beef, spicy pork, and pork belly that literally melt in your mouth.

Each table is equipped with a vented hood system, but you’ll still smell like smoked meat when you leave. Just keep this in mind before you visit! But if that’s the worst thing I can say about it, you know the food itself is delicious.

Banchan Selection: Your meal comes with traditional Korean side dishes (banchan) that can be refilled once for free.

The cucumber kimchi and fish cake also receive praise, while the potato side dish is a particular standout.

Bibimbap Brilliance: If you’re not in the mood for grilling then the bibimbap is a must-try.

It’s served in a scorching hot stone bowl, and this dish combines rice, fresh vegetables, a sunny-side-up egg, and savory beef – all accompanied by spicy gochujang sauce for an authentic Korean flavor experience.

Sushi Options: The Japanese side of the menu doesn’t disappoint here.

The sushi is expertly crafted with high-quality fish. Standout rolls include the Mango Roll and the Hot Rock N Roll, though the latter has a stronger fish flavor that might not appeal to those who prefer subtler tastes.

Appetizer All-Stars: Start your meal with crowd-pleasers like bang bang shrimp, kimchi pancake, or chicken katsu. The shrimp is perfectly fried, though some find the sauce a bit on the sweet side.

Atmosphere & Décor

Modern Asian Aesthetic: The restaurant boasts a beautiful interior with spacious seating arrangements and a clean well-maintained environment.

The decor strikes the perfect balance between contemporary and traditional Asian influences.

K-Pop Entertainment: A large projector plays K-pop videos on one wall, adding to the authentic Korean atmosphere and creating a lively backdrop for your dining experience.

Crowd Dynamics: The restaurant tends to fill up quickly during dinner hours, especially on weekends. But despite the crowds I’d say the space remains comfortable with plenty of room between tables.

Seating Options: Whether you’re dining as a couple, family, or larger group, Yami can accommodate pretty much any party size with different table arrangements, including the special tables equipped for Korean BBQ.

Pricing & Value

Portion Perspective: The Korean BBQ combos and a la carte options provide generous portions that justify the somewhat premium price point. Most dishes are designed for sharing, making them excellent value for groups.

Side Dish Bonus: The complimentary banchan (with one free refill) is a nice addition if you’re a fan of Korean food.

Rice Reminder: Be aware that additional white rice orders come with a $3 charge. The servers will not always mention this, and maybe this has changed, but extra orders will add to your bill.

Sushi Value: You might find that the sushi rolls are on the expensive side for the portion sizes you get. But the quality of the fish is quite good and feels very authentic.

Other Considerations

Parking: There’s a ton of parking all surrounding the restaurant, though during peak dinner hours you might need to park a little further away. Finding a spot should be fairly easy though.

Grilling Guidance: Staff are knowledgeable and helpful, especially for first-timers to Korean BBQ. They’ll explain cooking times and techniques to ensure that each cut of meat is perfectly prepared.

Grill Management: You can always ask the server to change out your grill, but it will not be changed as often as every course of meat. This is a traditional KBBQ experience so it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone who’s done this before, but it’s something to keep in mind!

Beverage Bonus: The restaurant features a full bar with an impressive selection of Asian spirits, including Korean vodka and traditional drinks like Terra beer.

Accessibility Aspects: The restaurant is spacious enough to accommodate wheelchairs or crutches if needed.
