For those who enjoy a variety of quality wagyu, highly recommended to go for the Assorted Platter of Hida, Miyazaki, and Olive Wagyu Sirloin. Melt-in-your-mouth texture, these wagyu beef is very juicy with rich and umami flavour. My personal favourite is the Olive Wagyu which I read that it is one of the rarest steaks in the world. Wow!

The Gyu Bar’s house-made warishita is imbued with fresh tanginess and natural sweetness from peeled tomatoes. For those who enjoy spicy soups like me, tantalise the taste buds with optional add-ons of chilli padi and deep-fried garlic chips that are served on the side.
