Sumibi-yakiniku Yasubee - Kobe

This is a small beef restaurant that offers a local clientele. Amazingly, it is managed by 2 old ladies in their 70s, and they are super efficient. Between the two, they are the waitress, cash register, cook, cleaner and dishwasher. We were initially a little skeptical about the quality of food, but we were not wrong! The Kobe Rindrock Steak Set (3,700 Yen) and the Grilled Shabu Set are really good! Beef is one of the most tasty and tenderest I've ever eaten. Eat here anyway!

Super delicious all cuts of meat. Beef and regular wagyu selection are available. The Tanpin orders come with 4 to 6 pieces of meat with each individual order. The grill is heated with coal. You will try to track the map of Google and it will guide you on the floor level to San Plaza, but the restaurant is located in level B1. The food is super tasty and super worth the trip. I'd go back if I had more time in Kobe.

Excellent affordable beef beef! The lady and her apprentice were really hospitable. I was sceptic when I saw the beef when it looked like normal cattle slices. Then to my surprise it tastes super good! Very recommended!

Absolutely amazing! It's a bit hard to find, but once you do, you won't regret it. The meal sets are reasonably priced and delicious (especially if you get a meal to share. The charcoal in the grills gives the meat a wonderful aroma, without producing a lot of smoke or causing intense burnt charcoal smell. The meat selections are absolutely mouth watering and worth it. I ordered 3 different kinds of meat with my partner and we were pleasantly full, and the food was simply sublime! The restaurant is quite small (only 2 western tables, 2 tatami tables, and a few seats along the counter. However, it also has a nice atmosphere, with the people working there put a lot of effort into maintaining great hospitality. This is definitely one of my top spots! (I'm sorry... it was so delicious, I forgot to take a picture of the meal!

Nice cosy place. Has rare beef tongue, from the back portion of a cow's tongue. Hence, more fatty and softer/less rubbery than a typical beef tongue. Comes at a price though. Otherwise, the rest of the Yakiniku was standard.
