Niku Katsumata

Although we had to wait quite some time and upon asking several times, the waiter finally brought our Wagyu steak which was still cold and defrosting, it was still a really good piece of meat. No wonder it cost us $68 for just 6 small cubes!
Highly recommend Niku katsumata for good yakiniku Wagyu beef; definitely can improve on service and interaction as they didn’t seem to have enough staff but overall was quite a pleasant experience!
My father really enjoyed his time there and said he would be back when he had cravings again.
Total bill was $240 for a Wagyu beef set, Wagyu marbled beef, lean Wagyu, Wagyu steak, kimchi set and a cold salad.

The A4 Wagyu chef selection (120g) were a mix of rump, off-cuts, lean and marbled meat. Made up of about 8 slices. Ordered an addition A4 marbled meat platter (60g) which consists of 4 pcs. From Kagoshima, their specialty lies in lean meat with grilling on crystal to ensure even cooking. Some cuts were really chewy and the marbled ones were okay - nothing to shout about and had better ones. Also felt that the crystal plate where the cooking was done was gimmicky as it does not add a different dimension or flavor to it. The portions were too small for the high prices.

Price: $38 for 120g platter and $25 for 60g

Unique and interesting dish. Not quite a donburi in the way we know it, we were told to taste the razor thin pieces of wagyu that were sitting atop the Japanese rice. Not much flavor as it was sliced way too thinly. Next, we added the condiments that included strips of seaweed and small round rice puffs into the bowl before pouring over the bonito broth. The broth was light and refreshing and complemented very nicely with the rice and beef slices. Do note that the price for this dish has increased considerably from $25 to $38 - really expensive for such a small serving!

Price: $38
