T nakameguro | Wagyu T-bone steak

My boyfriend and I haven’t done omakase or fine dining in a while, mostly because we sometimes feel it can be overrated. We came across this restaurant through a TikTok recommendation, and it absolutely did not disappoint. We honestly haven’t had a meal this good in a long time. We’re both chefs in Canada, and we truly loved the experience. You can feel how much passion the chef pours into every single plate. Watching him work reminded us of why we fell in love with cooking in the first place—the care, intention, and respect behind each dish really showed. What stood out even more was the teamwork. Everyone was clearly passionate and supporting each other—the manager was plating, one staff member was doing dishes and then helping with drinks. It was genuinely nice to see such a united, hardworking team. The star of the night for me was Aki. He was incredibly entertaining, spoke great English, and explained every dish and the menu so clearly. He made the experience even more enjoyable. I couldn’t finish my Omi beef T-bone steak because it was very filling, and I was honestly a bit embarrassed to ask—especially knowing how uncommon take-out is in Japan. Aki kindly offered and even let me choose which salt I wanted. He plated it carefully and thoughtfully. His passion, professionalism, and constant smile truly made us feel taken care of. The food was amazing, and we were seated at the front, which made the experience even more memorable. This was a meal we’ll remember for a long time. Highly recommend.

There’s always a little worry whether a restaurant will live up to the hype when you see it all over Instagram but T Nakameguro lived up to the hype and then some! First they were extremely accommodating by allowing our 7yr old son to join us (without having to pay for a full course for himself). Then they made a special wagyu hamburg meal for him, gave him dessert as well as a special birthday surprise at the end. And the staff - amazing, welcoming, friendly, including Chef himself. The food - if you love beef, you will love this Omi wagyu omakase course. Each dish was well thought out but centered around the main attraction - the beef! Not many restaurants I’d go back to but T Nakameguro is one I can’t wait to return to. Thank you T Nakameguro team for a memorable experience for my family.

We had a great time thanks to the wonderful team (shout out to Eduardo) and Mr. T who we were fortunate to sit by on his day off! He’s a very friendly owner who cares about the customer’s experience. For the course, each dish was unique and flavorful. Their presentation was joy to the eyes that went well with the storytelling from the team. Chatting with the others patrons and staff while enjoying delicious food and drinks, what could be better than that?

I don't even know how to describe it other than it being the best dining experience I have ever had. Head chef Higa is amazing and the rest of the restaurant personel made it an unforgettable experience. It was the perfect way to end our vacation in Japan. I can highly recommend visiting the place. Order their sake/wine menu which pairs up amazingly well with the menu. Thank you for a lovely evening!

More of a show than anything. Yes we witnessed 5 steaks grilled but 80% of it was packaged into plastic bags and put in their fridge. Would have been nice if portions slightly larger specially considering how much meat they cook in front of you. Service 10/10 Attitude and fun nature 10/10 Again, it’s more of a show/experience than a wildly amazing dinner. From the actual steak portion of meal, we got the New York strip side and not the filet side. Was tender but not insane.

Easily the best meal we had while visiting Japan and that’s saying a lot because we ate our way through Kyoto, Osaka, and Tokyo! Every dish was carefully designed and executed. They all hit! The room was cozy and the staff were friendly, inviting, and super knowable about every ingredient used.

This was a lifetime memory spot, Kenji and Yo are legends, the food was completely different to how I expected it, superb fine dinning with the most delicious local and in season ingredients, and I don't think you could find any better Omi steak anywhere! Will definitely come again on our next Japan trip! Wine selection was great, service and hospitality was 5 stars, what a gem of a spot!

Went here for my last dinner in Tokyo. Absolutely incredible experience and food. With excellent service and atmosphere. The place is intimate and serves an Omi beef omakase set. Very filling and enjoyable for a fair price

中目黒駅から徒歩5分程度。短角牛を主体に塊やロースビーフ等を展開。 ランチは夜のアラカルトを食べれるのも嬉しい。でも3種類のハンバーグも気になる。鶏、豚、牛の3種類だがおすすめを聞いたらやはり牛。しっかり目に焼かれており、肉汁というより凝縮された肉の旨みを味わおう。ライスがハーブライスでレモンをかけて味変できるのも嬉しい。 12:00回転なのに間違えて11:30に到着して店先で30分待った。それを気の毒に思った店員さんがコーヒーを無料でサービスしてくれた。ありがとうございます。

We started with the truffle fries that were excellent. Moved onto the meat samples of duck, chicken, pork and beef. Also had the Tomato, basil mozzarella salad. Like a caprese with mini tomatoes. All were very good and service was excellent.
