Peter Luger Steak House Tokyo

I always wanted to try Peter Luger and being in Tokyo I got my chance, overall the experience was fantastic. From the initial walk in where the staff greeted us to guiding to the table, to the ordering of the food and plating everything went perfectly. Food wise we ordered the 28 day aged porterhouse for 3 and lamb chops, with slice tomato (and luger sauce) for appetizer, broccoli, cream spinach and french fries for sides. I would say the slide tomato is a must for tomato lovers, the quality combined with the luger sauce it very unique, then sides I would recommend the cream spinach and the broccoli. The steak itself was definitely cooked over open fire (pretty sure it was not Sous vide but purely over fire) the crust was thick and crunchy but yet the core was medium rare as requested, the meat was flavorful with a balance salt/pepper and moist and tender with a good texture, comparatively it was among the best steaks I've had. A bottle of wine starts around 10k yen, a decent bottle would set you back about 12 - 18k yen. Glass of wine would be around 1.4k towards 3k per glass. Decent one would be around 2k yen a glass. Our Aust Shiraz bottle was around 12k Special shout out to our server Joe who really ensured we were well taken care of, from the order to the serving of food he never missed a beat. He always ensured our wine glasses were topped up (literally eyes at the back of his head). At the end of the meal he even splashed out a set of gold luger chocolate coins which really fascinated my kids. Another shout out out to Beeky who really took care of my kids and made my kids feel at home with his light humor and warmth, really took special attention to make sure my youngest was alright as she needed as she is quite a picky eater. And also to all the staff we encountered, overall the nights experience could not have gone better. Cheers!

Love the decor if you can it’s better to dine at the dining hall than the bar Steak is really good The sauce is good too. You can buy the sauce home at the grocery store on the ground floor. Mix green salad is good thick cut bacon is good as well as the cheesecake. Service is excellent. The staff speaks really good English. The only thing I didn’t like was the french fries with it’s smaller not as thick cut

If you love steak, Peter Luger is likely on your must-try list. I finally got the chance to visit the Tokyo branch —the only one that is outside the U.S. They serve only one type of steak: USDA T-Bone. You sit down and pick a portion size (for two, three, or four). It’s dry-aged in-house and served with melted butter, already seasoned—no extra sauces except for their tomato-based extra secret sauce. My take? It was good, would have wowed me when I was starting out on steak. The steak cooked unevenly—likely intentional since one side continues to cook in hot butter at the table, but that side ended up without the almighty crust. I liked the meal here but didn’t love it. It’s not bad, but honestly, I’ve had steaks I felt better and had more value for money somewhere else.

Tried the Tokyo outpost of Peter Luger and ordered the steak for three (ribeye). While the meat had good flavor, the outside was noticeably overcooked, which took away from the overall experience. For the price, the quality didn’t meet expectations. Service was professional, but in a city like Tokyo—home to exceptional local cuisine—it’s hard to justify spending this much on an underwhelming steak. You’re better off trying something local.

Went here for me and my bf's 3rd anniversary! It was our first time eating proper wetsern-style steak, it is indeed different than Japanese Wagyu beef. It's really delicious in its own way! The steak itself was already good even without the sauce. But the highlights of the experience was the service - outstanding! Shout out to Yuri, the young female staff who served us very politely and her smile is the brightest. We ordered too many stuff (oops) because we want to try as much as we can, but we struggled to finish them all. The staffs were so attentive, without us asking, they approached us first and told us that we can take away the remaining (not many restaurants in Japan does this). And they even recommend us to finish the steak first before the salad because, well, that's what you're here for. Overall, it made our anniversary dinner amazing!!

I am currently in the toilet writing this comment. This is my fourth time since last night. I visited this restaurant last night. The food, wine, service, everything was perfect except for the appetizer shrimp. There were four shrimps on the plate. When I ate the first one, it was already staled and had a strange taste. The second one was a little better. When the staff came over to ask how the meal was, I told him the shrimp was a little bit weird and may be over frozen. He feels sorry and he didn’t know either. I continued to eat the third one. The third one was even more serious. There was even a broken shrimp shell on the shrimp. I just put down the last one and didn’t eat it. The staff just took it away normally without any comment. I think it is definitely not worth 4,000 yen. What’s worse, I think it is very likely that the shrimp caused me food poisoning. The only thing I am thankful for is that I have completed this journey and will fly back to Hong Kong today. Although there are some regrets at the end, it is still a pleasant journey. I will visit Tokyo again.

Was a pleasure having Kevin as our server, definitely would recommend Kevin to our friends. However Kevin speaks real fast in English, so it might be difficult for non native speaker to understand in first place. But the experience and the foods are truly amazing! Cream spinach is a must try! If you like your steak medium rare in US standard. try order your steak rare, I think they have adjusted the standard for Japanese customers

I was excited to visit Peter Luger, given its well-known reputation, but unfortunately, my experience fell a little short of expectations. Food: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ I ordered a steak cooked medium rare, but it came out overcooked, closer to medium well. This affected the texture and flavor, as it lacked the tenderness and juiciness I was hoping for. Additionally, the surface of the steak had a slight bitterness, which seemed to come from being seared or charred a bit too much. While the quality of the meat itself was evident, the preparation didn’t do it justice. Service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ The service was good overall, and the staff was polite and professional. However, when I mentioned my concerns about the steak, I felt the response could have been a bit more attentive or accommodating. Ambiance: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ The restaurant has a classic, old-school steakhouse charm, which I appreciated. The atmosphere added to the dining experience and felt warm and inviting. Value for Money: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ Given the premium pricing, I was expecting a flawless meal. While I can see why Peter Luger is highly regarded, the overcooked steak and slight bitterness on the surface left me feeling that the meal didn’t quite meet the high standards I had anticipated. Overall: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ Peter Luger is undoubtedly a legendary steakhouse, but my experience didn’t fully live up to its reputation. I hope to return in the future and have a better experience, as I’m sure this visit doesn’t reflect the restaurant’s usual standards.
