Sizzle.

Name: Shinta Japanese BBQ Contact: 280 West Beaver Creek Rd., Richmond Hill, 905-597-0305, shinta.ca, @shintabbq
Neighbourhood: Richmond Hill Owner: Terry Wang (Kaka All You Can Eat, Village AYCE Hot Pot, Dagu Rice Noodle) and Frank Liu Chef: Frank Liu (Kaka All You Can Eat)

The food

Two all-you-can-eat dinner experiences for those who can put down a lot of beef. The regular menu (starting at $31.99) features things like miso-marinated salmon, Angus Gold kalbi short ribs, lemongrass-marinated organic pork loin and New Zealand lamb racks. The more-baller Wagyu menu (starting at $69.99) gets you all of the above plus Australian Wagyu sirloin and U.S. Wagyu brisket. If that still isn’t enough luxury meat, diners can supplement their meal with platters of premium-grade Wagyu cuts for an additional charge.

The cuts included in the all-you-can-eat Wagyu menu include Australian sirloin steak and U.S. brisket. The marbled meats are shown here with thinly sliced garlic-marinated beef tongue, chicken thigh in Korean-style marinade and chicken knee cartilage.

Shinta’s built-in table grills have their own ventilation system—so you don’t leave the restaurant smelling like grilled meat.
