Niwa Japanese BBQ

For those who want to venture beyond sushi and ramen, behold Niwa, a super-slick yakiniku spot in Deep Ellum where do-it-yourself Japanese BBQ is the name of the game. Here, diners can choose from an array of marinated proteins and veggies and cook it all up over grills built right into their tables. Beef belly, chicken breast, lamb chops, rib eye and Wagyu, it's all there, as well seafood options like calamari and shrimp. You want intestines? Tongue? Pork jowl? They've got that too. Don't feel like cooking? There are also ready-to-eat items, ranging from chicken karaage (crunchy crisp-fried pieces of chicken) to udon noodle bowls and hamachi crudo.
