Yasaiya Kabukicho - Shinjuku-Ku

The service was not good, has forgotten one of the steak orders. sweetheart they eat with steak came 20 minutes before steaks . saw us in front of a wall and refused to sit open as preserved, but nobody came. steak was amazing! like butter 200 gramm enough for a good eater and can share for smaller appetit. $600 for 4 people

Amazing eating and presentation. they could try in more wine selection

Unusuall for the area, clean sleek restaurant with good vegetables choice. We enjoyed the cooking and food, vegetables, Japanese ok let, especially mushrooms. Sadly, pork was a bit overcooked and had a lot of fat. Anyway, not a bad choice, can recommend for a nice evening meal.

Everything was great, except that the wagyu beef wasn't good enough. I ordered the chateaubriand cut, but it was below my expectations in terms of quality or taste. It felt like the meat was a bit old? Or maybe the type isn't what I was expecting (i.e. Expecting Omi beef? However, one redeeming feature of the restaurant is that they take vegetables seriously. So if you're visiting for the first time, my suggestion is: order the top of the line teppanyaki set menu (for 1 , ask to pay more to increase the rice/vegetables to make it for 2, and add an additional lobster but only if they will agree. The other couple beside our teppanyaki bar (both Japanese somehow did that (not sure, since their menu was in Japanese, different from our English menu . The lobster and giant prawns are very fresh (literally just taken out of an aquarium, cut and cooked . Don't add on the foie gras steak anymore, you'll die of high cholesterol and somehow the quality isn't that what one would expect. Lastly, choose garlic rice instead of vegetable rice. Somehow it was way better than the latter.

We made a reservation to be seated at the tepanaki seats. Upon arriving, the host wanted to seat as a table in corner away from grill. When well intend out that we made reservation ahead of time for tepanaki seats, the host was instantly argumentative. There was not another person in the restaurant. Very confusing. Also not in a great part of town. Among many strip clubs. Not conducive to family night out to dinner.
