JapaneseYakinikuKobe beefWagyuHyogo PrefectureA5 wagyu

The first and only overseas branch of Kobe's Sumibi Yakiniku Ishidaya, this intimate LKF restaurant is distinguished by its owner's personal selection of cattle from hand-chosen Hyogo Prefecture farms — the same terroir that defines authentic Kobe beef. Private booth seating, A5 wagyu chateaubriand, and a carpaccio-style roasted wagyu starter signal an elevated yakiniku experience.

About
Sumibi Yakiniku Ishidaya made its name in Kobe by maintaining direct relationships with the cattle farms of Hyogo Prefecture — the region legally designated to produce certified Kobe beef — and translating that premium sourcing into a charcoal-grill yakiniku experience unmatched outside Japan. The Hong Kong branch, the brand's first overseas outpost, replicates that farm-to-table traceability with cuts including A5 Kobe ribeye, chateaubriand, and premium omakase platters featuring marbled karubi, lean meat, and chuck roll. The intimate setting in Century Square — with ample space between booths and near-private room privacy — distinguishes it from the more communal yakiniku halls nearby. The menu extends beyond pure yakiniku to include a wagyu carpaccio starter, wagyu cold noodles, and an Ishidaya house salad with ponzu dressing, offering a more structured multi-course experience. Reservations are recommended and can be made by email.
