Matsusakagyu Yakiniku M Yokocho Branch — Restaurant in Osaka

"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...

Amazing melt in your mouth wagyu beef from matsusaka at cheaper prices than most places in the area. It was well presented, lovely marbling and the side dishes and drinks were delicious as well! Food was top tier but the service let the whole thing down and so I must deduct 2 stars.

Firstly we had to wait 10 mins before anyone took our order (we rang the bell twice), they got our drinks orders wrong and when we asked about particular dishes they didn't seem to know much about the food or drink. Additionally although we got a cosy private room, the servers (a different one each time) barged in and out quite loudly which kind of defeated the point of the private room. The servers were all quite young but they should have been trained better as it felt amateur and disorganised. By the end of the meal it felt like we were being rushed out as after we were served our dessert, we were given the bill immediately and then not even a few minutes later we were asked to pay while we were still eating. In any restaurant this would feel a bit off but in a place that's marketing itself as higher end and with the price point to match this felt incredibly rude.

All in all, the food was amazing but I would not recommend coming here if you also expect...
