Hong Kong diners can now enjoy premium Japanese grilled meat for as little as HK$36 as Yakiniku Like rolls out six new budget-friendly afternoon tea sets across all locations.
Starting daily from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM (excluding public holidays), the popular Japanese barbecue chain has unveiled a fresh afternoon tea lineup that combines affordability with the full yakiniku experience. Each set includes rice, miso soup, appetizer, and a drink—with unlimited complimentary rice refills thrown in—making it a compelling option for budget-conscious foodies and hungry students alike.
Six New Set Options to Satisfy Every Palate
Yakiniku Like’s afternoon tea menu features six carefully curated choices, three of which are entirely new introductions. Prices range from HK$36 to HK$75, offering significant discounts compared to regular menu prices. Here is the full breakdown:
- Chicken Thigh Set: HK$36 for 100g (regularly HK$49)
- Beef Belly Set: HK$45 for 100g (regularly HK$60)
- Triple Harmony Set (pork belly, pork shoulder, chicken thigh): HK$46 for 150g (regularly HK$103)
- Beef Belly & Beef Tongue Set: HK$54 for 150g (regularly HK$117)
- Beef Belly, Bacon-Wrapped Scallop & Squid Sausage Set: HK$65 (regularly HK$106)
- Beef Belly & Beef Shoulder Set: HK$75 for 150g (regularly HK$127)
All sets come complete with rice, Japanese-style soup, pickled appetizer, and a beverage—essentially delivering a full-course yakiniku meal at a fraction of the usual cost.
Unlimited Rice: A Game-Changer for Big Appetites
What truly sets this promotion apart is the free rice refill offer. While many budget dining deals skimp on sides, Yakiniku Like encourages customers to enjoy as much steamed rice as they like alongside their grilled meats. For growing teenagers, university students, or anyone with a hearty appetite, this feature alone transforms the afternoon tea into an exceptionally filling meal.
The chain appears to be responding to growing demand for value-driven dining options in Hong Kong’s competitive food landscape. With inflation affecting household budgets, such promotions offer a rare opportunity to enjoy quality Japanese barbecue without breaking the bank.
Availability and Practical Tips
The afternoon tea menu is available at every Yakiniku Like branch in Hong Kong, ensuring widespread accessibility. Diners should note that the offer applies exclusively during the designated afternoon tea window and is not valid on public holidays.
Industry observers note that Yakiniku Like’s strategy mirrors broader trends in Hong Kong’s casual dining sector, where chains are increasingly turning to limited-time value menus to attract price-sensitive customers during off-peak hours. By filling the afternoon lull with high-traffic promotions, restaurants can maximize kitchen utilization while offering genuine bargains to consumers.
For those planning a visit, arriving promptly at 2:30 PM may help avoid queues, as word of the promotion spreads. The combination of low starting prices, diverse protein choices, and unlimited rice makes this an attractive option for office workers seeking a late lunch, shoppers needing a mid-afternoon refuel, or families looking for an affordable dining outing.
As Hong Kong’s food scene continues to evolve, Yakiniku Like’s afternoon tea initiative demonstrates that premium experiences need not come with premium price tags—at least not between 2:30 and 5:30.
