đź‘Ťđź‘Ť I have never tasted beef this good. I've actually never even liked beef until I came here. Worth every yen. The price also includes a half buffet which was also quite good and the customer service was outstanding. People often mention beef, good, lunch, buffet, Kobe,

    Delicious Japanese beef, nice cozy and elegant atmosphere, with very affordable price for lunch. Food comes with soup, salad, tea/coffee, and dessert.

    What an experience. A friend recommended me this place, he said it was number 1. He was right! Eating extremely high quality kobe beef in a more casual environment is very good. The staff were very friendly and speak quite good English, they make excellent recommendation from the menu. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, the restuarant on 5th floor boasts a modest view of the local surrounds. Please thank your chef for an unbeatable number 1 meal.

    Delicious beef for reasonable price. Come here for the lunch set as the half buffet on top of the steak at 1780yen is worth it. Kobe beef more expensive though at 8000yen so maybe not the place at lunch as other places are probable cheaper.

    Check out their Kobe beef lunch set for only ¥1,790 with buffet salad, soup, bread, curry, rice, drinks and desert! It's AMAZING, melt-in-your-mouth beef and the best lunch deal in town!

    English menu with pictures! You take the elevator up to the restaurant. At the time, we went (end of December), they were revamping the menu, but it still wasn’t too much of a hassle ordering. We went for lunch instead of dinner to save on costs and it was pretty good! This place is a little bit right before Mount Maya, so if you’d like to walk off all the food after, this is good choice. =) Buffet was okay—it seemed a bit reminiscent of a limited version of the Chinese buffet restaurants you see everywhere in the United States. The menu items (with the Kobe beef) were what made the experience. Prior to this, I had read articles explaining how Kobe beef tasted, but I really wasn’t prepared. The Kobe beef I tried here -melted- in my mouth. Melted. There is no other word that can describe it best. The beef was firm, and yet when I chewed, it gave in to the motion so smoothly. It had some of that buttery-umami-unfathomable taste to it. No matter how much I tried to savor each small slice, it went down my throat so smoothly and before I knew it, it was over within a few seconds. So good. I did crave more and was still a bit hungry after finishing all of my portions of Kobe beef, which is why the buffet option was so great. The French onion soup was okay—they also had curry and rice which became very filling very fast. There were small dessert cakes too (as well as bread and salad and custards), and pitchers of water and orange juice which you could use to refill your glass whenever you wanted. Overall, highly recommended. It’s one of the cheaper options in the area, but it’s still quite pricey. It’s Kobe beef after all—what do you expect? You pay premium for the taste, and then if you’re still hungry afterward, fill yourself to contentment with the buffet offerings. They accept VISA card here too, so overall not a bad deal.

    Just been there after we read recommendation and cannot share the good feedback given here: The meat was was almost cold when served, 3 redwines we wanted to order have not been available, we ordered 4 portions a 100g, they served 3 of them on a SALAD, and said this is the "house style"... Unbelievable!!! Needless to say the meat tasted like dressing, what a waste.. We spend over 290'000yen and will definitely choose another restaurant next time, it was very disappointing!!

    We went there with my wife and we were only guests in the restaurant beside one chef and waitress. Waiterss who served our food was very polite and although lack of English she was eager to explain everything even by sign language! Food was amazing, meat just melting in the mouth, onion soup surprisingly tasty (I'm not a big fan but this time I loved it). After the dinner, when I was paying chef came out from the kitchen to say goodbye. Extremely polity people, great service, amazing food, highly recommended!

    Stumbled upon this place by chance, while we were walking from that famouse place to another famous place (we failed to made reservations so couldn't managed to get seats), et voilá! we found this place instead. The lunch menu won't break your bank, the course comes with a semi-all-you-can-eat buffet consisting if: soups, salads, bread, pastas, rice, coffee, tea, desserts. The cost is not more than 3000 yen per pax! All are delish! Super like!

đź‘Ť It is a long-established Sapporo beer hall in Kobe. It collapsed during the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, but is now operating in a new building. The fried chicken is very delicious and famous. It's the perfect place to have a beer and talk with your friends.
