KOUBETEPPAN'YAKIHAKUSYUU

We went to this restaurant based on all of the fantastic reviews. As we arrived another family was leaving and told us we would love it - and we did! It’s a really cosy place - just two Tepanyaki tables and a Tepanyaki bar. The service is attentive and friendly - it’s really obvious the staff all g...et along and that gives the place a great atmosphere. As for the food - impeccable. There’s nothing that could be improved. The steak melts in your mouth and everything else is flavoursome and delicious. We were intrigued by food being served on bread … it seems strange, but wait til you eat it at the end - it is fabulous! Definitely try this place - you won’t regret it!

Great small family owned restaurant. They have owned this place for 58 years. Our chef, who was the great grandson of the original woman who started it, served us. He, along with the others chefs and waitress were super nice. They spoke English as well, so we got a chance to talk to them a b...it. The steak was fantastic. Pretty rich though, as Kobe can be, so we only went with 150 grams each. The 2 of us split both, trying sirloin and filet. We also had shrimp, garlic fried rice, pumpkin, mushrooms, bean sprouts, salad, garlic bread, and tofu. It was a la carte. Everything was really good. They give you a small plate for salt/pepper, a ponzu for vegetables, and a dipping sauce for steak. Wine was good too. Reasonable price for a Tokyo and kobe beef. Cost us like 160 bucks and we tipped on top of that. Japan is not a tipping culture. They would much rather hear how much you truly enjoyed the service. Overall, this is a great place. Definitely recommend.

The filet course was excellent. High quality, great value and plenty of food. The service was friendly and efficient. The place is on the smaller side but great family run atmosphere. Highly recommend a reservation.

This was the absolute best Wagyu I have ever had. Top that with the experience they offer. 1000 out of 10 stars. Staff was very friendly and the chefs were spectacular

If you're looking for an unforgettable teppanyaki experience in Tokyo, Hakushu is an absolute gem. This small, family-run restaurant is tucked away in Shibuya and is famous for serving top-quality Kobe beef, cooked right in front of you on a sizzling hot iron griddle. The atmosphere is cozy and int...imate, with just a few seats around the counter. The owners — a lovely elderly couple — cook everything themselves, and their hospitality makes you feel like you’re dining in their home. Now let’s talk food: 🔥 The Kobe beef was insanely tender, melt-in-your-mouth level, and cooked to perfection. Every bite was rich, buttery, and packed with umami. 🥬 The side vegetables, garlic chips, and dipping sauces complemented the meat beautifully. 🍚 Even the rice and miso soup were top-tier — simple but deeply satisfying. Prices are on the higher side, but for authentic Kobe beef and a truly personal dining experience, it’s worth every yen. Reservations are a must, as seating is limited and the place fills up fast. Tip: Go for the Kobe sirloin and thank yourself later.
