A sophisticated yakiniku restaurant newly-opened in Berawa
Premium cuts and dry-aged meats are what you’ll find at YEN Social Bali, a sophisticated yakiniku restaurant newly opened in Berawa. Open for dinner only, guests are welcomed into a stylish dining den. The restaurant opens up to a sultry space defined by dark stone tables and sleek Japanese decor.
When it comes to the meat, diners are spoiled for choice with Japanese Wagyu, Australian Wagyu, and Dry-Aged specialties. A must-try is the ‘Ox Tongue Thick’ Australian Wagyu, served with Salted Kombu. For something different, YEN Social’s 30-day dry-age in koji rice is grilled with Kavalan whisky.
Everything is prepared at the table by certified grillers, ensuring perfectly marbled, melt-in-your-mouth meats. The drinks match the meal perfectly, with YEN Social priding itself on a wide selection of Japanese spirits, including 22 whiskies, nine gins, two vodkas, and 20 incredible sakes.

Make YEN Social Bali the anchor of your Berawa days
YEN Social Bali sits in Berawa, so start with hotel prices and pick a base near Jalan Pantai Berawa. Then look at activity packages, since a surf lesson and a beachfront club afternoon are easy to add to the trip. Finally, price a car: the back lanes are spread out and Canggu traffic builds through the day. The three links below go straight to each.
Yakiniku done properly is rare in Bali, and YEN is built entirely around it: premium and dry-aged cuts, grilled at the table, dinner service only.
The room is dark stone and Japanese detailing, closer to a dining den than a restaurant floor, which suits two people taking their time or a small group. Dry-aged beef carries a price and this is not a casual Berawa dinner. We would order fewer cuts of better beef rather than working down the list.
