Ginza Steak Ginza Honten Review Summary

Amazing steaks, chief did a great job cooking for everyone at the table but 75 mins was not enough for a fully occupied table. We had to wait a bit between rounds and at the end we wished we had ordered more. But overall, great experience and would come back again!

We got the all you can eat & drink package.

Overall, it was a good experience. The service was really good & the steaks were cooked well. I will say, however, if you’re like me and you don’t take advantage of the “all you can eat” then it isn’t necessarily worth it. After the courses, i had one additional steak so I didn’t take advantage of it. But my friend got 3 additional steaks. So it will really depend on your preference & mindset. I was just looking to have some steak & drinks.

If you’re out of town, then def give it a try for the experience.

Quality of meat was great but I feel that the cooking service could be improved to prepare the beef to the best it can be.

There wasn’t a nice sear to the steaks and the cook is quite inconsistent. Also, I’m a fan of garlic rice but the one here is a rather big let-down.

Probably a good place for you if you can really make the most out of their all-you-can-eat plan for the beef.

Service was great though. I almost left without my shopping bag and they remembered. Appreciated it.

A great dining experience! Chef Mike got us started with a tasting menu that would have been the highlight of any other restaurant. That primed us for the star of the show, alternating lean and fatty cuts of Wagyu, then all-you-can-eat for an hour. The tri-tip was the fattiest cut, it felt like eating cubes of pure butter. My personal favorite was the bottom round, which felt like the perfect blend of fat and lean beef.
Chef finished our course with the most fragrant miso soup ever, paired with a bowl of garlic fried rice that tasted more like sinangag than chahan. Our desert was ice cream with a little matcha cake. The sweet and bitter melded beautifully.
If you have the cash and want to get the best steak experience in Japan, this is probably it.

I hate to do this, but the ingredients are good, but the execution on the steaks was poor. No crust, no letting it rest, just cook, slice and plate, for the price and the simplicity the execution needs to be on point, and sadly it wasn't. So much of this meal was good, the wine, the apps, etc... but the poor execution on the steak really hurt my scoring on this place, so much potential wasted.
