While most will sure remember their iconic, highly Instagrammable wagyu beef sando, Wagyumafia Hong Kong’s all-beef tasting menu is a brilliant showcase of the restaurant’s exclusive Ozaki beef, celebrated for its rich marbling and unctuous texture. With varying cuts available each night, guests can always count on a good cut of Ozaki rib eye steak flash-seared on the Josper grill.

The American steak and grill house at Rosewood Hong Kong has been one of the hottest tables in town since its opening, with at least a two- week waiting list for weekend reservations. British chef Nathan Green applied his passion for butchery and meats to Henry’s stellar lineup of meats featured in its a la carte menu. The restaurant’s bourbon and almond ash aged porterhouse steak is cut from 44 Farms in Texas. The grass-fed black angus steak is dry- aged for 90 days in Woodford reserve before it is prepared at the hotel steak restaurant. Steaks at Henry are served with smokey blue cheese bearnaise and five pepper bourbon sauce, but we prefer them as they are with salt and pepper, alongside side dishes such as Jimmy Red John grits or lobster mac and cheese.

The steakhouse at Grand Hyatt Hong Kong is one of the most celebrated in the city. Predominantly featuring USDA prime and a handful of Australian wagyu cuts from Rangers Valley, the true star at the hotel establishment lies in the artisanal dry- aged grass-fed steak selections, including the Irish John Stone tomahawk rib eye chop and steak cuts from Tasmania’s Cape Grim, a rare selection made popular by the Wan Chai steakhouse. Aside from steaks, Grand Hyatt’s signature steakhouse burger also comes highly recommended, featuring a wagyu beef patty with bacon, cheddar cheese, and tomatoes.

The steakhouse at the Peak Galleria is operated by Japanese restaurant group The Food Story. Aside from the panoramic Victoria harbour view from the restaurant, the establishment’s range of beef steaks, including a rare Belgian prime dry-aged striploin, is worth going for. One of the highlights of 37 Steakhouse includes Hiyama A5 Kuroge wagyu chuck roll, which is sourced from the short rib in the chunk section of the cow. Also look for the 37 Steakhouse wagyu burger which comes in either miniature sized or regular-sized.

Pirata Group’s meat-themed restaurant in Soho has been a hot spot for all things meat. The restaurant is not a steakhouse, but meat dishes are well-prepared throughout, especially the barbecued beef rib, which has been slow-cooked overnight. The rib of beef is smoked and grilled until evenly charred on the outside yet inside remains tender. The grilled tenderloin with peppercorn sauce is also a steak cut best for sharing.

Black Sheep Restaurants’ follow up steak concept after La Vache and Buenos Aires Polo Club is one of Italian roots. Associazione Chianti brings the steak-loving Italian culture to Wan Chai’s Ship Street. The butchery and steak concept is home to a show-stopping bistecca alla Fiorentina, prepared fresh on the Tuscan charcoal grill after a herbaceous seasoning of rosemary, fennel, garlic, and mushrooms. The restaurant’s signature steak is best served medium rare, and shared among two to three adults, saving appetite for other meaty main dishes and room for the establishment’s pavlova cake for dessert.

Shane Osborn’s casual restaurant in Central may not be your usual restaurant for steaks, but the petite establishment is home to one of the city’s steak sandwiches. The restaurant’s wagyu bavette sandwich from the short a la carte menu is impressively prepared.
