ushiyoshi nguu cat

A Vietnamese brand, a Japanese grill

Not a Japanese chain — Ngưu Cát is a Vietnamese-owned yakiniku buffet house, telling its Wagyu story its own way.

"Dear BBQ lovers, nice to meat you."

Ngưu Cát — Ushiyoshi Ngưu Cát — is serious about two things: a good time and ridiculously good Wagyu. Melt-in-your-mouth cuts, bold flavour, grilled with care in a cosy space — whether you’re a connoisseur or just here for the photo, they’ve got you.

The venue tells a Wagyu-from-Kyushu story — marbling that melts on the tongue — and sets a smokeless in-table grill at the centre of every table. The main hall is a terracotta cave with hanging plants; private rooms host big groups and families.

This page covers the 120bis Nguyen Dinh Chieu, Tan Dinh, D1 branch — Ngưu Cát also runs a branch at Level 4, NOWZONE Fashion Mall, 235 Nguyen Van Cu (0968 128 132).

  • Smokeless in-table grill — grill at the table, no smell on your clothes.
