Matu

"Matu is a Beverly Hills restaurant specializing in New Zealand-raised wagyu, offering set multi-course meals reminiscent of Japanese omakase. Established in 2021, it features a five-course tasting menu with dishes like a 24-hour bone broth, Japanese-inflected steak tartare, and a ribeye or New York strip to share. Matu also offers a wagyu cheesesteak and other non-steak options." - Rebecca Roland

"A steakhouse in Beverly Hills offering accessible Wagyu steaks and a warm, intimate ambiance." - Kevin Chau

"Matu is best known as the steakhouse on South Beverly where you can get five courses of premium meat for under $100—that’s basically free in Beverly Hills. A lesser-known fact is that this place is also open for lunch and serves an outrageously decadent cheesesteak for $24. Friends from Philly will say things like, “That isn’t a real cheesesteak,” and we love that for them. Regardless of that opinion, it’s still delicious, packed with eight ounces of griddled wagyu ribeye and sirloin, gooey sharp cheese, grilled onions, and a long hot pepper going down the middle of the chewy seeded roll." - sylvio martins, brant cox

"Matū introduced the wagyu cheesesteak as a special in 2022 and made it a permanent menu item due to popular demand. The Philly cheesesteak-style number is made with chopped grass-fed wagyu from First Light Farms, melted Cooper sharp cheese, grilled onions, and roasted hot pepper, all on a plush sesame-seeded bun. The sandwich is only available at the bar or during lunch service." - Eater Staff

"This clubby spot in Beverly Hills specializes in multi-course, prix-fixe menus consisting of various wagyu dishes. It's definitely indulgent, but dishes like steak tartare and beef croquetas are presented in a way that doesn't feel like you're in a meat gauntlet. You'll sip clear, earthy beef broth, try thin-sliced pieces of NY strip, then finish with a wood-fired ribeye. If you're looking for a beef-filled dinner that isn't just another big slab of steak and a side of potatoes, Matū is an excellent option. It’s also a great option for a solo lunch, which is the only time you can order their wagyu Philly Cheesesteak on a big, bouncy sesame roll." - nikko duren, sylvio martins, brant cox, arden shore
