For my second time to Kobe, i decided to try another Kobe steak restaurant. A friend who lived in japan recommend this place. I found their menu very similar to the other places I've visited. We ordered the Special Selected Kobe Sirloin 250g set. As you can see in the photos, their quality of steak was exceptional. The chef was friendly and cooked the steak to my liking - a perfect medium rare. Of course, no Kobe steak is complete without their signature garlic fried rice. They use the trimmings of your steak (fat and all) to make the garlic fried rice. The cost of this meal wasn't as high as i originally thought and felt it was quite fair.

(Translated by Google) I have never eaten such a delicious Wagyu. The chef who helped us today seems to have practiced for a long time. The technique is very mature! Tell us about it from time to time despite the lack of language Eating two sashimi of instant appetizer is really delicious! !! !! The salad is also super delicious! !! !! Wagyu beef and vegetables are also delicious! !! !! The ice cubes and ice water of the ice water are very big! !! !! The boss of this shop called Sigui Qi Erguang heard the name and knew it was a ruthless character. I still have to say that joke. It was funny and asked if we wanted Tea to open his hands as T. It was really humorous. Push! ! !! !! !! !!

Food Taste - 3/5 Ambience- 3/5 Cleanliness -3/5 Worthiness - 2/5 Hospitality & Staff Behaviour - 4/5 Beef was not cooked properly... Desserts and chicken items were good.... location: very good locality close to railway station. It's a nice place to catch up with family and friends however there is a lot of room for improvement...

After stopping in Kobe for the first time we decided to eat here and it was great! The cut was exceptional! We asked what are all the different cuts and grades and we decided to go with A5 sirloin! As if it melted in my mouth! I’d definitely come back for another sirloin! Remainder of the course was also really nice!

Asked the hotel concierge service to reserve a table for 5, as there can be a little queue. Each of us chose the Wakkoqu - Special Selected Kobe Beef in either the Sirloin 250g or Tenderloin 220g. I went with the latter. If you're concerned on the cost vs amount of beef you'll be getting I wouldn't be too worried. The set menu is served along side vegetables and a few appetizers. Beef isn't served as a steak, instead it is carefully and purposefully cut up into different pieces to display the subtle flavours and textures of each piece. It is honestly, the best, piece of beef I've ever had it. People who describe Kobe beef as melting in your mouth, it does. The interior and ambiance of Wakkoqu add to the wonder of the beef. Staff and chefs are all to kind to make the experience better. A must visit!

After 10+ years, it’s my second time here and still as wonderful dining experience as the first. They do explain which ones are a better quality Kobe beef as there are cheaper menus with beef that’s not Kobe beef to suit all budgets. They catered well for our family with kids and the portions were perfect. The chef knew some English, enough to explain to us our meal and the waiters were very attentive. Definitely amazing quality melt in your mouth beef but also very pricey. Many local Japanese customers too while we were dining. Reservations recommended to avoid disappointment.

Years ago, we had a fantastic experience at the original Wakkoqu location. The beef was so tender - it literally melted in your mouth. At this location, the service was good but the beef didn't taste anything like A5 Kobe beef. We had the sirloin and the tenderloin. Both were tough, even the sirloin, which was medium rare. It was definitely a disappointing experience and we doubt that we were actually served real A5 Kobe beef. The experience was not worth the exorbitant amount that we paid.

We had a fantastic dinner at this place to celebrate our wedding anniversary ❤️, the chef and staff very friendly and they explained to us how to enjoy our Kobe beef in a different way. Highly recommend this place, FYI you have to book the spot in advance. This is our second time been to this place in 2 years, can't wait to visit this place in the future again.

Amazing Kobe Beef! They explain the menu and grades of beef oer option. The order we selected consisted of a several course meal with A5 served throughout. Despite what I believed, they actually served a lot of food and I left very full. Most amazing meal I've had!

(Translated by Google) 2 times use. Good transportation, good location is quite reasonable. Stable taste. Lunch is worth it but inexperience; I would like to visit several times already. (Original) ２回利用。交通の便が良く、そこそこ静かなのが良いところ。味も安定。ランチはお値打ちだけど未経験；もう数回訪問してみたい。

(Translated by Google) The quality of the meat is very good and the money and meat are melted away. The price ranged from 7000 yen to 15000 yen, and I ate a 7,000 yen lunch course, but it was delicious enough. The chef who cooks at the front was also nice and good! (Original) 고기의 질이 상당히 좋고 돈과 고기가 사르르 녹습니다. 가격은 7000엔부터 15000엔까지 다양하고, 7000엔짜리 런치코스를 먹었지만 충분히 맛있었습니다. 앞에서 요리하시는 셰프의 모습도 멋있고 좋은 식사였습니다!

We came here for lunch and we were ripped off. Not only was it expensive, it was terrible beef. It's better than beef you get in other countries, but definitely not Kobe beef (check the marbling), and it definitely did not taste good. The chef told my friend who wanted his meat well-done that he only does it medium rare. We paid more than 9000yen for a set lunch each because they kept asking us if we wanted things like wine and garlic rice without letting us know there were extra charges. Service was also oppressive and pushy. There are much better restaurants at Sannomiya, don't come here just because it's close to Shin-Kobe station. Truly the low point of our trip to Japan.3

Simply melts in your mouth. Heavenly. Must try at least once. Price is pretty steep and is going up over the years. Service is excellent. Portion is alright. Reservations required.

This place is an absolute gem and perfect if you are just passing through Kobe. My boyfriend and I wanted to try Kobe beef and heard about the awesome lunch special here so we had to try it out. For around $60 USD you get a cut of Kobe beef with soup, salad, vegetables, dessert, and beverages. All prepared right before you. The chef even tells you how to eat each slice of the meat. Superb meal, excellent service. Great deal for lunch. Highly recommend.

The food is and of itself an amazing experience. Locally sourced A5 quality beef prepared by experienced chefs right in front of you. The atmosphere is refined and tranquil; perfect for a quiet date. The course we did, the "Wakkoqu" kobe beef course, was a full course meal inclusive of dessert and coffee. Each course was brought out and/or prepared on the teppan as you ate. The staff were extremely attentive with timing the courses perfectly. The chefs and wait staff speak English well enough that anyone who speaks English will have no problem communicating. Cost: Wakkoqu kobe beef course: 14 200+ tax (15 620) per person. Wine: beaujolais village 4220+tax (4642)

1- to make a good steak, it has to be at room temperature. I asked for rare steak which meant I was served a steak where the middle was cold, as clearly they just took it out of the fridge. The quality of the meat was good, however the taste didn't reach its potential. 2- the menu said (bread or rice) which was not included in the menu and was extra as it was in (parenthesis). Garlic rice was good, but the menu was not clear. 3- I booked online our table which meant I already paid around 33000 yen. I had to remind the restaurant as they were about to charge us again for the full amount. 4- service was slow and staff were confused. Not recommending this place.

Kobe beef in Shin-Kobe! A culinary dream come true. We discovered the restaurant in 2015 and made sure to come back with my parents in 2019 to celebrate Japanese food at its best and conclude our Japan travel here. We went for the full meal with soup, wine and desert. All was good, but the meat was from another world, of course. Just watching the cooking process is an experience. Garlic slices, veggies, the trimming of the beef. And then a well guided tasting (first, only salt, then...). You need a little patience. But the result is just breathtaking. Thank you sooo much!

We came here yesterday for the Kobe Beef lunch special which came with vegetables, rice, potato soup, tea, coffee, dessert and an amazing portion of Kobe beef. It was less of a lunch and more of an experience which was definitely worth it. Coming on a weekday, it wasn’t busy at all. They were very accommodating and made sure that our drink was always full. We had also informed them that this was for our 10th year anniversary and they gave a special dessert cake slice and decor to come with it! Highly recommended and will come again.

Overrated. Not worth the price. The beef served is good quality. However, the taste cannot make it at all. Dont waste your time to travel down. I ordered the garlic fried rice as it is highly recommended, seriously??? My helper can cook a lot better than them. Very disappointed with the meal!

Ordered 3 Kobe sirloin for the family. The taste was out of this world. The beef was so tender and juicy. Can't get enough of it 😉

Great experience, the chef was friendly and attentive.. he wasn’t in a rush cooking the beef.. in fact he cook by portion waiting us to finish first before cooking another part of the beef.. the food is great.. worth trying

Very good restaurant and friendly staff. We had a Kobe beef tenderloin menu and it was the best meat i ever ate. The restaurant is situated somewhat more outside and in a slightly empty shopping center but it was a perfect dinner

Wonderful lunch experience for Kobe Beef but would advise reserving in advance as always full and can use Google to reserve. Their standard lunch set is the most worth it but there are other lunch that cost more for more beef.

This is for me one of the best choice where to eat Kobe Beef. It is also very simple to get there because its 5 minutes walk from the local Shinkobe station (where you can also find a very nice japanese food wall mart very interesting). The beef is simple fantastic and having your own chef cooking it in front of you makes the experience even better. The usually had a very nice lunch menu for the half of the normal price but please check and above all book in advance (and this also for the night). You can easly spend your night in kyoto and going there just to eat the food (kobe town is not very nice). Do not miss it. Value for money is good and kobe beef is really part of the japanese experience.

Highly recommend! My mum and aunt really enjoyed the food and experience last week. (I visited several years ago for lunch and still think about the Kobe beef and garlic fried rice. So glad the quality and value has stood the test of time. Hope I can visit again next time I’m in Japan!)

Very good. We picked from one of the preset menus. At first it seems as though there won't be enough food but the Kobe beef is VERY rich and filling.

Unbelievable, I almost cried. Everything was perfect. A little pricy, but that's what you expect for Kobe A5 beef

This was probably the best meal I have had. The chiefs were very friendly, so was the rest of the staff.

Kobe beef meets the hype. Mouthwatering. Fatty. Flavourful. Worth the money. Chef cooks in front you and great service.

I have been to several Kobe Beef places in Kobe and keep coming back to Wakkoqu. Since my first time here about ten years ago they have been serving amazing quality Kobe beef with perfect service. They talk to guests about which bite to best taste with pepper, salt, mustard, etc. Their lunch menus offer the same quality you can find here in the evenings at a very fair price.

We had an amazing meal here! It is definitely worth the cost for both the quality of the food as well as the knowledgeable, friendly staff. We went to celebrate a birthday and we were even given a special dessert. We had a wonderful time and would recommend this place for a special night out.

(Translated by Google) Delicious! (Original) 美味し!

(Translated by Google) Directly connected from Shin-Kobe station. Grill on an iron plate while enjoying talking with the chef at the counter. The quality of the meat that is handled by professionals is also good. While teaching me the recommended way to eat depending on the part of the meat. As expected, it is a long-established steak shop in Kobe. (Original) 新神戸の駅から直結。 カウンターでシェフとお話を楽しみながら楽しむ鉄板での焼き。 プロの手捌きでいただくお肉は肉質も良し。 肉の部位によっておすすめの食べ方も教えていただきながら。 さすが、神戸の老舗ステーキ店。

(Translated by Google) All the staff were polite. I ordered a lunch course. I had Kobe beef with ponzu, mustard soy sauce, salt and pepper, but it was very delicious. (Original) 店員さん皆丁寧な対応でした。ランチコースを注文。神戸牛をポン酢、辛子醤油、お塩、胡椒とそれぞれいただきましたがとても美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) Reasonably priced Kobe beef Teppanyaki food was very delicious. It was a restaurant where you could relax and have a meal. (Original) リーズナブルな神戸牛 鉄板料理でとても美味しかった。落ち着いて食事の出来るお店でした。

Virgin kobe-beef-cook-in-front-of-you experience. We were late due to missing a shinkansen train but they still served with a smile. Very good experience and food. Felt like a "Be My Guest" moment when they cook the beef. For your reference set lunch is approximately 7000 yen, but if you order any of their steak it'll automatically comes with veggie and rice as well (some differences in whether it included soup or not).

Such an amazing meal!

Great Kobe beef experience with very good service. The price is as you'd expect from Kobe beef. The staff were very attentive and the chef recommended different ways to enjoy the beef. Booking in advance is recommended.

(Translated by Google) Lunch is reasonable and easy to enter. I want to visit again in a calm atmosphere with the best meat. (Original) ランチはリーズナブルで入りやすいです。お肉も最高、落ち着いた雰囲気でまた訪問したいです。

A great place to go to sample Kobe Beef. The atmosphere is very authentic feeling and the care that goes into the preparation of every meal is amazing to watch. A single piece of Kobe Beef is prepared in multiple ways due to the varying fat content of different sections of a single cut. Just delicious! They also have vegetarian and seafood options.

(Translated by Google) Very good koebe meat (Original) Muy buena carne de koebe

(Translated by Google) The restaurant is located next to the Shin-Kosho Shin-Kobe Station. The transportation is very convenient. It is not a problem for Chinese-speaking staff to order food. The service itself is also courteous. The high-priced special Kobe beef is really delicious. The above is the advantage! But the shortcomings came. First, the chefs who fried the steaks were all the same, but the master did not care to deal with our beautiful steaks of expensive pine. Although there was a familiarity at the beginning, in fact, three points, five points, The seven points are all at the same time, and this time there is a little lunch package and a special package. The latter is about three times faster than the former, but the quality of the midday set meat is really different. It can only be said that it is going to have lunch. Package, it is better to take the money to eat the general and beef, do not need to run this 趟 eat Kobe beef! (Original) 餐廳位於新幹線新神戶站的旁邊，交通十分便利，有會說中文的服務人員點餐不成問題，服務本身也有禮親切，價格較高的特選神戶牛的確非常美味，以上是優點! 但缺點來了，首先煎牛排的師傅都是同一位，但師傅並沒有用心地在處理我們那塊貴鬆鬆的美麗牛排，一開始雖然有問熟度，但實際上三分、五分、七分都是同時上的，且此次分別有點午間套餐跟特選套餐，後者約是前者的快三倍價格，但午間套餐肉的品質跟量真的差距很大，只能說與其要吃午間套餐，還不如拿這些錢去吃一般和牛肉即可，不需要特別跑這一趟吃神戶牛!

(Translated by Google) The Chinese beef package is quite cost-effective, but it’s a bit thin. (Original) 中餐的和牛套餐還蠻划算的 但就是有點薄

This place is heaven for every foodie! We enjoyed one of our best meals ever there. Take the tenderloin kobe steak, you won't regret it!

(Translated by Google) It is expensive but it is good, they cook the meat on the grill in front of us. It will be a good memory :) (Original) C est cher mais c est bon, ils cuisent la viande à la plancha devant nous. Se sera un bon souvenir :)

Excellent food. The Kobe beef is very very good, it was well worth the effort to come to this restaurant. The staff was excellent

(Translated by Google) A Marketing Scam hallucinating !!! Run away !!! Trooop too expensive for a meat really very basic and a very average service ... We have to pay 230 euros for 2 for an economic formula and a standard dish in addition. The meat is melting it's true but very greasy and without any taste The price is exorbitant for the quality provided. This is theft !!!! (Original) Une Arnaque Marketing hallucinante !!! Fuyez !!! Trooop trop cher pour une viande vraiment tres basique et un service très moyen... On a payer 230 euros pour 2 pour une formule économique et un plat standard en plus. La viande est fondante c'est vrai mais très grasse et sans aucun goût Le prix est exorbitant pour la qualité fournie. C'est du vol !!!!

Super!!! Tender and juicy Kobe beef is cooked and served in front of you along with appetizer, rice, salad and vegetables. The service is awesome, staff is very friendly and keen to explain the type of beef and guide you through the tasting experience. The price is definitely worth it!

Ridiculously good A5 wagyu beef.

Good price and quality

Great place to taste A5 Kobe beef

(Translated by Google) Is delicious (Original) 美味しいです

Ok, 7000¥ for a lunch is a bit expensive, but honestly it's among the cheapest restaurant if you want real Kobe beef and the chiefs are very good and nice
