Those of you who know me, know I am passionate about steak and aim to have some at least on a weekly basis. Being quite pedantic about it, I am reluctant to eat it out when I could make one of comparable quality at home for a much more reasonable price (unless I am assured of quality e.g Walters). However, I was decidedly interested when Yappari opened their doors at Mt Gravatt. Specialising in Japanese Lava Stone steak, the DIY aspect really caught my attention and we went to try it with a group of friends.
I didn't get a picture of the menu, however it comprised of various cuts of steak with various sizes along with sides. You could order via the app or at the counter. Each table was also decked with a very large assortment of sauces, which we were thrilled to get a selection of. I particularly appreciated the garlic, wasabi and kewpie/
Each steak set comes with complimentary salad, miso and rice. The salad was fresh, crisp and you can add your own sauce to it. The miso was warm and wholesome, notably devoid of other ingredients such as tofu or seaweed.
Dr L and I decided to share a giant steak. This was a 700g oyster blade. It came down on a double sized lava plate. It was served blue and entirely unseasoned so you need to cut it up quickly whilst the plate is still hot and then cook each piece to your liking (as well as salting and peppering it to your taste). The steak was tender and juicy without being chewy at all. I also like the fact that they offer to change the lava plate if it cools too much before your steak is sufficiently cooked. Overall the steak was very enjoyable and I crave a second visit as I write this post. Would definitely come back to this one.
