Mallory Pork Steak Naka-meguro

This place is really good if you're in the mood for a big hunk of meat. It's always full when I walk by and I've been curious about it. In the U.S. we don't have "pork steak" restaurants. Pork tends to be a cheap food, a couple places like Niman Ranch have tried to do the "heritage pork" thing, but it never seems to take off. But in Japan, they have heirloom everything and special artisan breeds of just about every animal you can eat. I don't know what they feed them or how they care for them, but whatever they do it tastes great. I ordered the smallest size and it was enough. The two people at the table next to me were sharing a giant hunk of pork steak that was big enough for a group of many more people. They seemed as satisfied as I was. It's juicy, tender, and has a great mouth feel. You get to bite into it like you're a carnivore, but it's never tough or chewy. I ordered some add-ons: the lobster bisque, the truffle butter, and the garlic rice. The lobster bisque was fine, it had good flavor and it was smooth, but I think I would've been just as happy with miso soup or whatever they bring without charging extra. I just wanted hot liquid broth. The truffle butter was completely unnecessary. It had barely any truffle flavor. And they bring you a ramekin of au jus that's got all the extra flavor you need. Also, there was some wasabi and some other type of green spicy condiment; both were great. The garlic rice was outstanding, little chunks of garlic and pork, deep flavor--definitely a worthwhile upgrade from plain white rice. They also serve these little tiny, miniature, doll house sized sides of what seems like mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. They were delicious, and just a dollup was kind of perfect, because I really didn't need more than a taste. Look, I don't know if I'll ever go back here, there's plenty of great meat in Tokyo. But if someone told me to meet them there for dinner, I'd be excited to go again.

The place to go for delicious and perfectly cooked pork steak. Should’ve order a larger portion! 🐷 cream cheese and spinach were good. Steak paired well with wasabi. Update: visited again in Nov 23, ordered 500g, tasted awesome 🤩

Ambitions is a doubled edge sword for most, the same applied when you eat here. The food was free great the service was great and the prices were reasonable. The portions were huge, and despite the ambition of a guy in his early 20s it, it was wayyyyy too much food. If you go here, order a size down from what you’d think you’d be able to finish. The pork steaks comes with a soup and rice on the side which.

First of all, it was unbelievably good and I totally recommend it. The meat and the various pairing of sauces and salts you can use make for an amazing meal. My Japanese girlfriend works and lives near this restaurant but she had always avoided it because she thought it was just a gimmicky place with large portions for creating social media buzz. She was extremely surprised to find that it was actually just seriously delicious. Smaller portions are available if you just want a quick lunch or something and I definitely recommend stopping in.

Bustling with locals, definitely a little gem. Scan the QR code in the table for an English menu and to order. The star of this place in my opinion is everything that comes with the pork steak. The sides and rice were flavorful and I highly recommend getting a larger portion of rice.

Very tasty and good volume steak restaurant in Nakameguro. You can choose the size of pork steak (from 200g to 450g and more). Pork steak is so juicy and easy to cut, so you will be satisfied with it. There are some seasoning including pepper, salt, wasabi and yuzu pepper. Rice can be changed to garlic rice, so garlic rice is recommended.

I don't understand the negative comments. It was pleasant, the meat I ordered was terrific. Only negative was the faucet in the toilet obviously was broken, but I fixed it for them. Otherwise also, the qr order system was a bit confusing. The meat itself was perfect.

The portions were so western, had so much pork steak for a great price. I think mine was 270 grams set meal for 1200 yen. So delicious too. Real wasabi on the counter you can put on too. I saw this poster outside which was all you can drink sake for 660 yen 30 minutes. Need to come back for that ! Highly recommend. If you have a party of 2-4 or 6 you probably need a reservation but it’s east to do online. If just one person then you can usually just walk in! We came for lunch with 4 people without reservation but initially he said we need rsvp and would have to wait but after 5 minutes he said we could come in if we ate within 30 minutes before the next rsvp! We of course did and would love to come again.
