Gyu do! — Restaurant in Kagoshima

After visiting Kagoshima City Aquarium in Oct， our family enjoyed a memorable lunch at Gyu Do! 熟成焼肉 Gyudo! 本店. This restaurant impressed us with its delicious Satsuma Wagyu dishes and its thoughtful service.

The availability of an English menu made ordering different cuts of beef quick and easy, while my wife’s knowledge of Japanese helped navigate some of the finer details, overcoming any language barriers. The staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, helping our child settle in comfortably. They even provided kid-friendly tableware, which was a thoughtful touch that made our meal more enjoyable.

The Satsuma Wagyu was absolutely delicious, offering a melt-in-your-mouth experience that stood out as a highlight of our trip. It was also my child’s first experience trying Wagyu, and he loved it! The reasonable pricing was another plus, especially considering the variety and quality of dishes we ordered for lunch.

Ultimately, we were overly full because the fried rice and white rice were too good! The combination of Wagyu beef, kimchi, and roasted vegetables was perfectly flavorful, especially suitable for visitors who are new to Kagoshima and unsure of...
