Osaka, Japan｜Matasaburo

Fantastic beef, beautiful ambience and so kind staff. We felt so welcome and we enjoyed the food so much! It was an amazing experience - arigato!!

Best steak I've ever had in Japan. Not sure if they take walk-ins, so I suggest you make a reservation to secure a spot at the restaurant. The staff don't speak much English, but they are very friendly. A great experience. I went to the restaurant for their steak & meat pies. The meat pie is reservation only, and you must let them know in advance if you want it apart from their course set (check their website to make a reservation or call them). They have an English menu on their website, but it doesn't include all of their menu items. Overall, I'd have to recommend the dry-aged skirt. Melted in my mouth! A bit pricey, but it is honestly the best steak I've ever had in Japan. Quality vs quantity. Also, the hand towels are scented. An extra bonus! (The only downside was they didn't offer to pour my wine when my glass was empty)

1) excellent value, really worth the money! 2) waiters don’t speak much English but they are very nice and patient to explain the food and ingredients! Very polite and friendly with Japanese manner. 3) the food is superb! Everything from appetizer to dessert taste great. It’s a beef shop doesn’t mean they are only good at beef! 4) the environment is great, they serve the beef in a charcoal grill. Overall i would describe this as a magical journey. If you happen to come to Osaka. This is a must go restaurant. Tips: there are much more in the Japanese menu than the English menu, please remember to use the “google translate” camera function to read.
