AUTHENTICITY:
First of all, this was AUTHENTIC Kobe Beef. I actually did some research, and this restaurant Kobe-Gyu Miyabi, Kitanozaka location is under THE most-selling Kobe Beef gourmet umbrella group in the world, Kisshokichi, and it handles your Kobe Beef with quality, safety, and care straight from the farm. Quality and authenticity is guaranteed. Rest assured and enjoy your steak. I say this because sometimes there are places that advertise to be handling Kobe Beef but not necessarily only Kobe Beef, meaning they handle other types of beef including other Japanese beef brands or non-Japanese beef. The chef even said that his kitchen could be inspected any day, and you would never see anything but Kobe Beef. Amazing.
FOOD:
It was FIRE. So nice and tender, and not greasy at all to the extent that it felt like I could even eat a pound and still not feel heavy or upset in the stomach afterwards. They also have a reasonable option of side dishes of a salad, garlic fried rice, and soup.
SERVICE:
The chef and the server are nice, friendly, and funny. The service was smooth and impeccable.
ATMOSPHERE:
Nice and cozy with pleasant, peaceful, and romantic music playing in the background. Would be perfect for a date night or a special occasion.
PRICE:
It was reasonable and worth every penny. All this for less than $70 dollars!? Are you kidding me?? Shut up and my money.
P.S.
Last but not least, but the Katana on display only added to my true Japan experience :)
Thank you, Chef Hinokami, for making my first Kobe Beef experience unforgettable.
