YAK Charcoal Grill

Cool little grill

Great quality. Used twice. Love the quality of the mesh grill.

This is an over engineered hibachi grill. I love it. Industrial grade stainless steel. And because of the size it is able hold the temperature evenly. Still practicing with the benchotan charcoal. It burns real hot. Super portable and not to mention a breeze to clean and pack up. My advise is to get the bundle. It just makes sense.

Not my first rodeo with charcoal but I love the Yak. Very stable platform and perfect for small batches or serial cooking. I inaugurated my Yak with three teriyaki pork chops. Fun to cook and good to eat!

Family fun grilling time. Easy to use

Only had it for a couple of weeks but I’ve already used 6 times! Great product!

Amazing

Awesome Grill! Well-made and portable. Makes charcoal cooking a breeze.

Bbb

Received as a Christmas gift and used for the first time on NYE with our friends for a proper hibachi BBQ. Everybody had fun cooking and loved the results. For the first time, it was straightforward and yielded excellent food. Perfect for celebrating on a beautiful evening.

I am blown away by the quality of this grill and all of the accessories. The design and engineering is very impressive. (Yes, we use the grill inside but we have a restaurant strength hood - don't do this at home!)

A great black powder coat finish which shows much less of stains from grilling while some might prefer the patinas from usage of stainless steel finish.

So far so good

Not my first and won’t be the last yak I buy as a gift!!! I have 1 as well and will probably get myself another for larger parties

I love how quickly you can get to grilling on it and how well it holds heat. My first go around I made chicken thighs and pork chops and they were amazing.

This grill is awesome. It gets super hot. I couldn’t be happier. Great job

Very reliable and easy to use. Every part is dishwasher-safe. Barbecue for two with a small amount of charcoal.

Bought this about 7 months ago and just got around to using it after a very hot summer that made it uncomfortable to sit outside. This thing is everything it advertises. Incredibly easy to use, table safe (although I bought the silicone mat just in case), and made incredibly good food. We did grilled Vietnamese ground pork skewers which we wrapped in rice paper with lettuce and rice noddles and dipped in sauce. It came out incredibly well, and it was a fun, interactive meal with everyone cooking their own meat and making their own wraps. Will definitely be using all the time and would be great for backyard entertaining.

We love our Yak! When we have friends over they are so impressed with how well it cooks and they enjoy the experience of Hibachi style cooking with us. The skewers are the best way to cook veggies!

The grill is perfect!

This little grill works great! My first meal was cherry tomatoes with blistered okra and a ribeye steak. Quick and easy to get set up and grilling. Are used a combination of Applewood and Canadian sugar maple lump charcoal, delicious. Thank you.

Great idea

Amazing! family are now asking for yakitori chicken and hibachi lamb daily!

I’ve been wanting a Yak for a while now and I finally made it happen. It’s AWESOME. perfect yakitori, so good!

I lived in Japan for four years and always wanted a small grill to cook Yaki Tori - this grill is built tough and works great!

Not bad so far

Living the High Life! Folks this thing is so much fun. We have a family of three and it is the perfect size for us. With more people, it becomes a social opportunity to serve food in waves and just hang out. I repurposed an old IKEA Trofast toy bin, sanded the factory seal off, stained it, and the Yak sits recessed. I read a review that says it best. “This thing punches above its weight.” You can load it up with smaller pieces of charcoal and the sear it will put on a steak is out of this world. You can moderate it with larger pieces and it will cook chicken beautifully. Since this review is for the bundle, I have to mention that Thaan charcoal is quite underwhelming. I got a box of it with my bundle, and for my first cook I used five pieces. That heat was very low. I added two more. That is half a box. $10 of fuel. It was hot as advertised (but not sear the heck out of a steak hot) very low smoke (that part was great), and low ash, but the ash builds up and lowers the temp significantly with time. That must be why people are constantly fanning it in YouTube videos. If I’m paying what is equivalent to half a tank of propane for my genesis, I do not want to sit there and fan it. The price is prohibitive, for me at least. Compared to a bag of Jealous Devil lump. Folks get the devil. Yak, please bundle with the Devil. That is what you need to fuel your Yak. 5-6 pieces, which will cost you a buck or two, and your Yak will be your favorite toy ever! The grill is awesome. Last point, I got black, which is slick, but it is starting to scratch a little with use. Not Yak’s fault. Hindsight says I should have gone stainless. Maybe I will get a second, or a third!

Awesome time with friends and grilling out.

Purchased this grill to be my travel grill for beach trips to SPI and Yakatori grilling at home. Test run grilled some amazing skirt steak (fajita) made amazing tacos with queso fresco avocado and salsa. Love the size and heavy duty construction plan on taking to beach in 2 weeks I’ll be putting grouper shrimp Mahi Mahi fajita steaks and any other great fresh seafood I can find. Plan on grilling veggies. Great product worth the money

I love this grill so much - it’s been such a great addition to my outdoor living room! I love that you can set a regular sized coal chimney in the grill while the coals are heating up, and the fact that you can just toss it in the dishwasher after it’s done. I use six Thaan logs every time and they last for hours. Definitely would recommend to anyone!

Great grillin

The Yak Grill is perfect for your backyard dining experience.

Great products. Very good quality.

Good for family bonding korean bbq.

This grill is amazing! Construction is top notch, the steel is thick. I bought this along with the mesh grill grate which is perfect for fish.

Really happy with the Yak so far — love the design, build quality, and portability. And the options for grilling surfaces (mesh net, yakitori bars) are awesome.

This is by far the best Japanese style charcoal grill available. It is incredibly well made, performs exceptionally well, and is super easy to set up, operate, and break down. I am a professional chef and own two restaurants. This is my go-to home grill!!! In addition, their service is super prompt and top notch in every way - from the website to the order to the fulfillment. Bravo YAK, you've created a beautiful and brilliant product, and your team is awesome!

Loved grilling tableside with my new Yak Grill. I am impressed with the quality an appearance. I learned a new technique and how to make yakitori tare from the Yak recipes. Everything was yummy!

I ended up getting the deluxe bundle and it has been great! I love how compact and portable it is in the carrying case, along with all the extra items it came with. I am super excited to bring this to beach bbqs or bqqs at my friends' places and to practice yakitori all summer!

We love our grill!! PNW Style!

Love the grill and the temp it holds. Great addition to the outdoor kitchen. I only give it 4 stars as the charcoal box has a weld that came apart from the factory and the company has been slow to respond. This will up your picnic game.

We got our first YakGrill in July '21 and couldn't be happier with the product, the accessories, and the customer service at Yak Grills. Our family is of Japanese descent and yakitori and kushiyaki cooking is something we have always enjoyed BUT THE YAK GRILL makes the whole process and amazing social experience that will keep your family and friends entertained for hours. You can accommodate meat lovers, vegans, seafood lovers, sausage lovers - and of course chicken in its best form - yakitori. We now have three Yak Grills in the family because everyone wants one for their own get togethers. Some highlights that make Yak Grills so much fun: - the thoughtful way they designed the entire set: grill, silicone mat for tabletop, grills, skewers, tongs, travel case - cooking with bincho charcoal (easy to buy on Amazon) is so much cleaner, smokeless, environmental - product quality is excellent - customer service is fantastic: YAK GRILLS replaced a lost part that's not on catalog, they just made it happen ;-) - grill is best placed in the center of table, so guests are helping cook their own food and eating slowly - you can take it camping and prep all your skewers before you leave Thanks YAK GRILLS, this product is a "game changer" - so simple and ancient, but so much fun to own Scott - Santa Monica, CA

This little grill is fantastic! Much prefer this than your park grills. Easy to travel with… I just wish they would make some kind of carrier bag. Meat comes out super juicy EVERY time.

Finally we can have KBBQ at home. We are loving it. It gets used a few times per week!

I bought the YAK Grill because I liked the look of it and loved the idea of grilling together with friends and family, kind of like a fondue! I was new to the world of charcoal, but the YAK makes it easy, even for a beginner like me. The bundle I ordered came with everything I needed, and before I knew it, the whole gang was gathered around the grill enjoying fresh delicious food and having a great time together! I highly recommend picking up the grill to anyone looking for a fun new way to liven up your next backyard party!

Great Product!

Love the intimacy sitting at the table with friends, and having everyone at the table... including the cook. We are all involved, absorbed in conversation and laugher in the company of friends. We have taken it to friends to share the experience have purchased 3 so far for our home, our son and out daughter. Wish to have more $20.00 coupons to send to friends... they are all ready to buy!

Extremely well-designed and solidly constructed. Silicone heat pads. Charcoal holder spaced to allow cooler outer shell. Could be Japanese! Haven't used it yet but searched for over a year to find just this.

I have not used it yet, but I am sure I will love it when the weather warms up. Looking forward to it.

A Solid grill and easy to use and clean. I want to grill everything on it.

Great little hibachi grill. Happy with my purchase and a perfect entry level grill for Yakitori. I bought this for its multi-purpose ability to do Yakitori and a smaller grill when just cooking for my family of 4.

Quiet evening on the patio, sharing a beverage and some laughs with my love. What could be better? Awesome product that makes it all possible in a deed restricted community!

HOT HOT & HOT! So cool that it’s so HOT Love this little guy! Can pull it out and get HOT temps in quick time without using too many coals. There is a learning curve. I cold and hot smoke. I do bacon, Montreal smoked meat, cheese, spices. Shoulders, pecaña. Have been for years. This is another wonderful piece in my arsenal…and we are full time rvers. Our enclosed trailer is full of cooking gear. We are happy to have added our YAK to the group!

Everyone went crazy - loved it...

Great grill, good quality, easy to clean. The other great thing about Yak grill is that you can easily take it with you wherever you go. I have got the deluxe bundle and I am very happy. It includes all necessary things for grilling, so you don't miss anything. I highly recommend to get Yak grill, for families and singles.

I was looking for a way too "bar-b-q" easier, and year round...outside and on my 3-season porch. The YAK hibachi is perfect. It was a super easy set-up on my 3-season porch, wooden dining table. It was just me for the test drive: I started 3 pieces of charcoal over the ring on my little propane heater while I cut some steak, made a couple of skewers, and formed 2 hamburgers. I only used one end of the YAK to cook for one person over the 3 coals, which lasted 3+ hours. Fo the different types of meat and veggies, I used the various plates & skewers that came with the set. Everything was delicious; it was fun; it was easy. I can't wait for the whole family to be here so the kids (from 5 yo to 25 yo) can have fun cooking on the YAK!

We use ours a few times a week, love it!

I love the way it cooks also the fact that I don’t have to use as much fuel.

Absolutely love this grill Solid built heavy Guage and everything is solid stainless. Beautiful piece

Use Yak Grills to made some Chinese lamb skewers, so far so good ~

The inner coal bin that can be removed and placed into my Weber bbq to save the coals is great. Great size, fits on picnic table. Still missing my skewers, bamboo ones just burnt up!

Its just me and my wife and used it twice already. light up the coals and grill away!!!! easy setup and easy to put away. Very easy to use for senior citizens like me and my wife. Will try to get a video recording or pictures next time.

Thaan charcoal takes getting used to but it’s worth it. This little hibachi punches above its weight and gets the job done with good effect. The steaks were perfect and the shrimp we cooked were too.

perfect size for binchotan; looking forward to the next flush of boletes

I haven't used it yet but there is absolutely no way to describe the quality of this grill! The workmanship is unbelievable! If it works half as good as it is made I will be pleased! I will post after I use it the first time.

I love the grill - very good design. Only wish they came in different sizes

Just got this bundle and we absolutely love it. We love to cook and this is our first Yakitori grill. We always go out for this kind of food, but doing it at home is so much fun and cheaper. The grill is built very well. We like the rubber handles which makes it easy to pick up the grill and the rubber mat which makes it sit nicely on our table without scratching it. Definitely recommend 100%

So much fun cooking with this grill and the food turn out delicious . Love it ,,,

Decided to add some cutouts into a table and make a place for the grills to sit. Basically a cheap DIY korean bbq table. The Yak grills were exactly what I was looking for, and I can always take them out and use them as table-top grills too. More than happy with my purchase.

High quality materials The first thing I noticed was how heavy (in a good way) the grill was! Kept the heat hot for the 2 hours we using it for. A lot of fun to cook together as a group.

Absolutely perfect! I bought this on the recommendation of a video I saw of it in action and I am super impressed! Solid construction, easy setup and cleanup and helped me make the most amazing yakitori for my friends! 10/10 would recommend! Only wish it was larger so I could cook more at once!

Solidly built, great air flow! I've used other ceramic grills in the past, none of them compare to the Yak Grill. The Yak is solidly built and has great airflow. I typically use lump charcoal; it appears that with the Yak, the coals burn hotter and there are fewer dead spots than the ceramic grills.

Worth the buy! I've been shopping around for the perfect yakitori grill and I found the perfect one. Was hesitant at first but the grill has been worth every penny. Easy to use and portable. Great for trips and small gatherings. Works perfectly with the PokPok Thaan charcoals. Yak Grills Yakitori grill will last you a life time and I highly recommend it for anyone who loves to grill!

Fantastic Idea YAK is a unique grill that allows you to socialize like never before while grilling: a beautiful grill and a fantastic idea.

YAK Hibachi Charcoal Grill

Compact and effective Wasn’t so sure when I saw how small it was. Once I got the charcoal lit is was great! Charcoal lasts for hour by the way in case you want to cook for the neighborhood. When using the grate, I recommend oiling it first as the meat was sticking.

Great company and product! I was fortunate enough to contribute towards the Yak Grills IndieGoGo campaign for the *VIP* Super Early Bird Special and patiently waited for this amazing grill. It arrived just as described and all my expectations were met. I have grilled yakitori and yakiniku, steaks, and veggies using Pok Pok Thaan thai style charcoal logs which fit perfectly and last for hours. Cleaning has been relatively easy although I hand wash everything just to maintain the beautiful appearance of the grill. I have only had a few concerns which prompted me to browse the website and incidentally purchase some perfect additional accessories. First, I wanted the charcoal to be closer to the food and Yak Grills sells a charcoal riser that lifts the charcoal base plate up. Second, the handles were a little hot to move after a grill session so I purchased the silicone grill handles. I also purchased the flat grill grate just to experiment with some other food items and also a silicone mat just to keep things clean. When I ordered the accessories, Fedex misdelivered my package and David from Yak Grills provided excellent customer service and sent me a replacement package and suggested Delivery Signature just to be safe. Fedex delivered once again and still didn't come to my door and require my signature but fortunately delivered it to the correct address. I highly recommend the Yak Grill and company, will continue to be a loyal customer, and look forward to some exciting products in the future!

Worth the $$$ I love grilling and this one makes it fun and simple. I hosted a party in our backyard over the weekend with family from out of state and they were amazed how small and portable this grill. This is perfect for yakitori and I also grilled some pork belly. You can tell the taste difference from when you cook it on an electric grill and on the yak grill. Super impressed and definitely recommend! Also, as a side note, my package got lost from when it was picked up to ship but the amazing customer support expedited and resent a new grill overnight. Great customer service!!!

Quality grill I really like the design and craftmanship of your Yak grill. It is a small grill but perfect size for a 5 - 6 people gathering. I enjoy cooking my food over charcoal so I will be able to grill my meat or vegetable all year round.

Best purchase I splurged a little vs a small one I found on Amazon. And it was the best idea! I’ve used it 7/10 days for dinner .

Fun for alli I brought this little grill out to the beach to host a barbecue for my friends and everyone was both wowed by the convenience and excited by the food. The charcoal stayed hot for many hours and we really enjoyed the ease of cleanup as well.

Great little charcoal grill While this grill might seem small, it heats up your food quickly and evenly. We have used it camping and tailgating, and are now ordering the silicone handles and flat grill grate. Stores very compactly and is perfect for small gatherings.

Worth it! I was skeptical but the yak grill is a QUALITY grill and makes smaller gatherings fun! The option to do yakitori or a grill is great - charcoal dinner has never been easier! I LOVE my yak grill. The only downside is cleaning all the black soot out. The cover stays nice but I’d like to clean out the charcoal box like new.

Little workhorse Straight out of the box this impressed with build quality. Ease of use and quickly getting up to temp are great pros too. Not sure about longterm cleanliness or ability to keep clean when high-temp grilling with marinades, etc. But I’m always excited to get this fired up

Almost Didn't Want To Use It The grill is designed so nicely that I didn't want to dirty it. It's made of solid material and the craftsmanship is superb. Certainly will last many many years, if not decades. After our first use, it's fairly easy to clean. The inner edges were a little more tricky to scrub. This piece is definitely fun to use and keeps people at the table.

Great little habachi grill Cooked up some beef with scallion skewers this past Labor day. The grill is great, gets nice and hot and cooks really quickly. Highly recommend the customer service, as they helped me swap my grill for a different color.

Great portable grill Nice to use on a table top!

Great Grill The Yak grill is a perfect little grill. It is well made, easy to use and to care for. We have enjoyed it so much with our neighbors as we weather through COVID. The small table size allowed us to bring the grill to the driveway to grill up our food as we enjoy each other's company outside. We especially like using the skewers! Everyone got to make their own customer skewers with the items that they like and cook the proteins to the doneness level that they like. Without this little grill, someone would have to drag their large grill from their backyard to the driveway which in many cases, it would be impossible! When we are done with using the grill, we just put all the pieces into the dishwasher.

YAK Hibachi Charcoal Grill

Great grill! I’ve bought 3 now. They are great gifts.

Love love love it Great grill! Very sturdy and good material... My family and I love making memories, enjoying cooking on the go makes it easy

YAK Hibachi Charcoal Grill

YAK Hibachi Charcoal Grill

Must Have Great quality product and great customer service! It was a hit for our family bbq, and so much fun making the different dishes! Tip: make sure to order the binchotan coal with it!

Unleveled Yakitori Game Where my old grill was starting to crack, this one is built much more solidly. Really easy to clean up and has made yakitori grilling a much more enjoyable experience.

Center of the Party Excellent grill for small parties of 5-6 people. Looks very attractive, easy to use, and manage fire. Clean up was simple, wipe down the outside, pour out the ash, and wash the grates. Would highly recommend the matte black.

Great grill! Perfect gift for my husbands birthday

omg - fabulous i never did yakitori before and this BBQ made it SO easy for me to do it seamlessly. easy to use, easy to clean, and the results were delicious. thanks

Convenient and attractive I used this the first weekend I got it with Thaan charcoal. The charcoal lasted about 4 or 5 hours once I got it started in my chimney starter I usually use for my smoker. I prepped skewers with chicken thighs and green scallions, squid, zucchini, pork belly, and tofu. It was pretty fun to work through all of that and the family enjoyed it. Cooking the pork was quite smokey, but besides that it all was relatively low smoke and would be appropriate for the tabletop. I kept it off to the side. My first time using binchotan style charcoal, so I didn't know that it was possible to save it for another cook. I just kept cooking and cooking until we were all stuffed. I strongly recommend doing all your food prep and skewering beforehand.

Yak Grill I love my Yak Grill. It's heavy duty, well made and builded tough. I might buy another one. I am very happy with my purchase.
