Wagyumafia Hong Kong is the first overseas outpost of Japanese chef Hisato Hamada's celebrated Tokyo wagyu club, operating as an intimate 18-seat chef's counter in Wan Chai where members experience an omakase menu built entirely around the top one percent of Japanese Kobe and Ozaki wagyu. The world-famous Kobe Beef Chateaubriand Cutlet Sandwich — at the centre of Wagyumafia's global fame — anchors a menu of original Hong Kong-only creations alongside Tokyo classics.

About
When Wagyumafia founder Hisato Hamada chose Hong Kong as the location for the brand's first overseas restaurant in 2018, it was a deliberate statement about the city's position as Asia's most discerning dining capital. The Wan Chai location — an intimate 18-seat chef's counter in Guardian House — brings the full Wagyumafia philosophy to Hong Kong: direct relationships with Japan's rarest wagyu farmers, obsessive quality control, and an omakase format that elevates each wagyu cut into a course-by-course narrative. Sourcing spans the top one percent of Kobe beef certification and Ozaki Wagyu from Muneharu Ozaki's single farm in Miyazaki — one of the most rare and sought-after single-producer wagyu operations in Japan. The Hong Kong-exclusive menu layers original creations alongside Tokyo signatures including the iconic Cutlet Sandwich, with cocktails and wine pairings crafted to complement each course. Membership is required to dine, reinforcing the curated, high-hospitality experience that has made Wagyumafia a global benchmark for wagyu dining. Reservations are made via SevenRooms.
Neighborhood & visiting

Wagyumafia sits in Wan Chai, one of Hong Kong's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. Reservations are available online — for a focused izakaya counter this is strongly recommended.
