Book NowAbout Touka Parramatta
Slip down a discreet Horwood Place laneway into Touka for high-grade yakiniku cooked over table grills. Marbled cuts of Wagyu karubi and tender oyster blade sear fast over built-in downdraft exhausts—drawing smoke away cleanly so you head home without smelling of the grill. Regulars know to balance the beef platters with ox tongue, crisp chicken karaage, and chilled Suntory beer, ending on house scoops of roasted matcha or black sesame ice cream.
- Downdraft smoke extraction: Recessed table ventilation pulls smoke straight down, keeping the dining room clear and clothes clean.
- Table-grill Wagyu cuts: Generously marbled Wagyu karubi, oyster blade, and seasoned cuts grilled table-side over open grates.
- Laneway heritage setting: Tucked in a heritage building with laneway access, transporting diners far from the bustle of the main street.

Why Choose Touka Parramatta
Why diners choose Touka Parramatta for Japanese BBQ, celebrations, and transportive dining.
Premium Wagyu Table Grilling
Patrons grill exceptionally marbled Wagyu cuts directly on personal table grills for an authentic Japanese barbecue experience.
The Japanese Wagyu BBQ was absolutely delicious, high quality meat with amazing flavor.
Jason Tang Built-In In-Table Downdraft Exhaust
In-table ventilation captures smoke immediately at the surface rather than through overhead hanging pipes, keeping diners clean and comfortable.
I LOVE that the exhaust is in the table unlike most bbq places where it is hanging above the grill. It meant we left without smelling like bbq.
Sharon K Attentive Celebration Hospitality
Warm, attentive service makes special occasions seamless, including complimentary surprise ice cream treats for birthdays and anniversaries.
The complimentary birthday ice cream was a suprise and a delight to the occasions.
ML H Welcoming Group Banquets
Accommodating staff effortlessly cater to large parties with flexible group seating, banquet-style menus, and helpful service.
Amazing staff who were very friendly and helpful with great service and always smiling. The food was delicious and served very promptly. My party opted for banquet style servings and we definitely had the right amount of amount of food.
Peter George Transportive Japanese Dining Escape
Guests step off the street into a tucked-away setting that creates the serene illusion of dining along a classic Japanese lane.
The moment you step in from the streets it’s like you’re transported to a side alley of Japan and stumble across a welcoming house filled with delicious bbq selections and drinks.
SaiyanRoyce Tucked-Away Garden Entrance
Situated away from main-street foot traffic, the restaurant welcomes diners via a dedicated path into a Japanese garden entrance.
Tucked away in the street right beside a parking lot. Feels like you're stepping inside a Japanese garden when you first enter the restaurant.
