Matsusakagyu Yakiniku M Yokocho Branch — Restaurant in Osaka

My group went to the Namba location. However, it's not on Google Maps, so I'm leaving the review here.

The service was fantastic. We had a very friendly woman who spoke English really well and was good about helping us out. She took the time to explain the menu to us, answered all our questions, and showed us how to grill the meat perfectly. We never had to wait for more food. They kept food coming out quickly, getting our meat platters out as soon as we were done with all the appetizers, and then bringing all our other food as soon as it was ready. The food arrived at the perfect temperature, hot but not hot enough to burn your mouth.

The food. The food here was probably some of the best food I've ever had. We ordered the premium course and got the garlic rice to go with it. Additionally most of my group, including myself, ordered miso soup, while two of us ordered the ramen.

The meat plate was delicious and very filling. Some of the meat melted in your mouth and some was a bit thicker, but still quite delicious.

The garlic rice was the best rice I've ever had, and I've been living in Korea/Japan for two years. It's to die for.

The sushi that came with the course was amazing as well. One was definitely better than the other, as agreed by everyone at my table, but they were both really very good.

The course also came with a salad. Now, at a yakiniku place I don't expect an outstanding salad, but that's exactly what I got. They used a dressing that seemed to be made from the meat sauce and it was amazing.

The miso soup was delicious, probably some of the best miso I've ever had. And, it wasn't just the broth, though that would've been great too. There was a lot of different toppings in the soup, tofu (which I normally don't like but was good), bits of meat, some vegetables. It was an amazing soup and I would definitely recommend getting it.

Unfortunately, the miso ramen wasn't as good. To be clear, I myself didn't actually try this. However both of the people in my group agreed it wasn't good. I believe it was just noodles and broth, so compared to the soup it's pretty disappointing.

The course we ordered came with dessert as well. We all got different desserts, I ordered green tea ice cream which was good but nothing special. My friend ordered the brown sugar mochi, which I tried, and it was really good. It had an interesting texture, but I would recommend it. Two of the other people in my group ordered the sochu pudding, the recommended dessert. They were very disappointing saying that is tasted like someone made pudding then poured too much sochu on top.

TL;DR: No matter how long you have in Osaka, come here. It is some of the best food and best service I've ever...

"My family and I visited Matsusakagyu Yakiniku M in Hozenji Yokocho during our trip to Osaka, and it was definitely one of the highlights of our dining experiences in the city. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere, with friendly staff ready to assist us with our meal.

We were blown away by the premium quality of the beef - it was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. The beef was so tender and flavorful, with a rich and savory taste that left us wanting more. We had a lot of fun cooking the steak ourselves on the grilling station in front of us, which added to the overall dining experience. It was a great way to interact with the food and truly appreciate the high quality of the ingredients.

In addition to the beef, we also enjoyed the Fried rice, which was a great accompaniment to the meat dishes. The rice was flavorful and well-seasoned, with a perfect balance of textures and flavors. It was clear that the chef had put a lot of thought and care into each dish.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and intimate, with a nice view of the grilling station. The service was excellent as well, with the staff being very attentive and accommodating to our requests. In particular, the Indian waitresses were friendly and provided good service throughout our meal.

Overall, Matsusakagyu Yakiniku M offers a premium dining experience with top-notch quality beef that will leave your taste buds wanting more. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fun, delicious and satisfying meal in Osaka. It is definitely worth the price and a must-try for anyone...

Make a reservation before you come here, this place gets really busy.

The majority of staff were Chinese and a lot of their customers were also Chinese.

But staff were nice and all spoke English. First time in three weeks I didn’t need to speak Japanese even a little :/

We ordered the premium set which came with nearly everything on the menu. Their garlic fried rice was the best I’ve ever had, so make sure you order that.

The set is enough to make you really full, you won’t need to order any side dishes.

Staff cook the garlic beef dish and bring the beef sushi to you prepared but other than that you’re left alone and you can cook the meats at your own pace.

Restaurant is small but you’re seated in nice private booths, there’s a call button on the table if you want service.

I’m 90% sure that nearly every customer in the restaurant was a foreign tourist but the food was really good so it doesn’t really matter that locals don’t visit. It’s different than a Kobe beef teppanyaki restaurant, different taste and experience. I would try both if you have a chance.

There’s also a lot of nice looking local restaurants next to this one if you weren’t able to get a seat. The one directly to the left has a nice friendly owner which spoke to us while we were waiting.

P.S. Yakiniku M accept major...
