The interior feels really nostalgic and possesses that old-world charm - from the carpets to random antiques. Food-wise, let's just say it was enjoyable but not the best Kobe beef experience. Although the beef was fatty, I felt like it lacked that distinct beefy flavour. All in all, there are other teppanyaki restaurants in Kobe that do it better. But do proceed with caution as many of such places aren't legitimate and falsely claim to sell authentic Kobe beef. I also realized that this restaurant was mainly patronised by foreigners, perhaps owing to the reservation system? That said, it does beg the question whether quality has been tampered with given the clientele... All I can say is if you're looking for Kobe beef, do your research because 1. Kobe beef isn't cheap 2. Things can sound too good to be true

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!

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.

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)

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.

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.
