When you combine : Dontonbori + Wagyu + Halal you get the perfect recipe for a spicy tab, and that’s something you only notice after you sit down and you are handed the menu. The prices here are not wallet friendly, as a matter of fact, during my lunch, I’ve seen two tables sit down, get the menu, then stand up and leave. I believe this is to be blamed on the heavy marketing campaign used by this restaurant chain and the lack of transparency regarding its menu. Now that is clarified, if you consider this as a fine dining experience where you won’t mind spending +20k per person you will have a fantastic meal. The staff was very friendly and they did their best to communicate in a quite good English , after I finished ordering the chef came out of the kitchen and brought me a pamphlet explaining the « story » of the restaurant chain. Despite looking young she cooked the steak perfectly and the presentation of each dish was picture perfect. The waiter was also very professional, explaining the meals, the origin of the meat and even checking out if everything was right. The restaurant has these grill holes inside each table that are just gathering dust, I saw nowhere on the menu to order cuts of meat to cook yourself and judging by the amount of dust on the one on my table I’d say these are not used, so if you’re looking for Yakiniku or BBQ … you’re at the wrong place. I haven’t tried the burger so I can’t comment on it (I did get the potato wedges and they are pretty good) but I would recommend skipping the rice bowl (not worth it) and getting the waguy steak, just don’t come in here hungry ready to fill your stomach, rather come to treat yourself. My pallet isn’t trained enough to get the difference between a top 10% Wagyu beef steak and the cheapest cut found at the supermarket but what I had here was excellent. I am giving this a generous 4* for the staff implication and the steak, the restaurant itself and the aggressive opaque marketing campaign wouldn’t be worth 1* but thanks to the people working there I had a good time.
