The Best New Restaurants in Los Angeles According to Eater Editors, July 2025 | Eater LA
"The team behind wagyu restaurant Matu has opened its sister restaurant, Matu Kai, in Brentwood. The steak restaurant carries over many of the favorites from Matu, like set meals that start with a rich 24-hour bone broth, before bringing out tartare, rib-eye, beef cheek, and more. Like its sister restaurant, all the wagyu at Matu Kai is sourced from New Zealand’s First Light Farms. The restaurant offers a few dishes exclusive to the Brentwood location, including steak brochettes brushed with harissa spice, wagyu meatballs that could compete with any Italian restaurant in town, maltagliati pasta in a rib-eye ragu, and a Caesar with tahini. Pair meats here with a cocktail off the menu, or a glass of Matu Reserve. Book a table on Resy. — Rebecca Roland, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Matthew Kang
