"Hafuu Honten is famous in Kyoto for their wagyu beef cutlets and it’s popularity has found its way to the hordes of tourists. The beef cutlet was as good as it claims to be, moist and succulent the beef melts away in your mouth."

"Hafuu is a Japanese steakhouse, regarded as one of the best restaurants in Japan. Using wagyu beef raised in Kyushu, the famous wagyu sirloin steak melts in your mouth."

"The thick, juicy steak is gorgeous and melts in your mouth. The fat on the beef is very light and won’t make you feel sick after eating it. Dip in some salt or a bit of mustard to get the best flavour."

"The thick beef culet is more impactful and outstanding than you’d expect! Not only are the special sauce and cabbage amazing at making the beef taste even better, but the bread itself is fantastic too. You’ll probably want to keep eating them again and again."

Christine Ho

"The beef was perfectly cooked and melted. The sandwich also had lettuce, tomatoes, and a heavenly sweet but savory sauce. It was as wagyu should be. I’ll be sad when we leave Japan and all we have our american “Kobe” beef."

Rebecca Chew

"What is more deserving than the best melt-in-the-mouth Wagyu beef? Yes, we went back to Hafuu Honten for its succulent beef! This time, we ordered two beef sirloin sets and a Hamburger steak!"

"I highly recommend you to have “Katsusand” sandwich. The special sauce, together with Cabbage assist the taste of beef cutlet better, and the bread has absorbed this delicious sauce nicely. I take them out and eat them at Maruyama Park. It’s great to eat delicious meal under the blue sky!"

"Hafuu is one of the famous restaurants which is located close to the Kyoto-Gosyo. They offer a wide variety of beef dishes. I highly recommend you to have Beef cutlet."

Hiroaki Ogasawara

"The Wagyu Beef sandwich was amazing. It really was. I personally would like it a bit more rare, but I don’t think I wasted my money. The taste was really really good, so if you don’t mind a small but amazing lunch, we truly recommend it."

"Located near the Imperial Palace, Hafuu Honten is known for serving up beef of the highest quality. With their signature “Original” meal dining at Hafuu Honten may not be the cheapest, but you get what you pay for."
