I had a deeply disappointing experience at this restaurant, and it boils down to one major issue: “discrimination against foreigners”.

The drinks starts from 500-600 yen and I wasn't willing to pay it.
I would finish by saying that the meals themselves were small. I hope this place would state those fees more clearly because it seemed like a nice...
Read moreAt Halal Wagyu, the A5 Wagyu steak stands out as a culinary triumph. The restaurant, with its Japanese aesthetics, offers a warm and sophisticated setting. The staff are well-versed in their menu, particularly the halal A5 Wagyu.
The steak itself was exceptional – perfectly medium-rare with a rich, buttery texture and a complex umami flavor. Paired with simple sides, it remained the highlight of the meal. Despite the high price, the quality of the steak and the overall experience made it a worthwhile indulgence for steak...
