Reviews
We ordered the seared scallops, wagyu rump steak, their special chocolate aged wagyu sirloin, Fatcow potatoes and mushroom risotto, with their mushroom and peppercorn sauces.
The seared scallops were had a very nice crust on them, and were very tender and had a great depth of flavour, especially with the purée and sauce. The potatoes were very crunchy and smelt amazing, and the paprika aioli went very well with it. The mushroom risotto was cooked perfectly with a great creamy texture, and had a great mushroom flavour.
The stars of the shows were the steaks of course, and they were amazing. Seasoned perfectly, which a lot of restaurants often miss, with an amazing sear as well. The sirloin melted in your mouth and had a great dry age taste, and didn’t even need any sauce accompaniments to be honest. The rump, while less tender, was also extremely flavourful and cooked perfectly as well. The mushroom sauce really enhanced the steaks, although the peppercorn sauce did not have as deep a flavour.
Overall though, the restaurant was super accomodating, and the food was amazing. Would definitely recommend for a special occasion.
The certified Kobe beef genuinely melts in your mouth, nothing like anything I’ve ever tasted.
The tasting board of steaks was cooked to perfection and honestly didn’t need any sauce.
The potatoes are little crispy squares of goodness.
Only slight change I’d suggest is serving the mac and cheese as the port & cheese sauce in a small, high-edge bowl with a thick crust on top.
The staff were all lovely andq the service was exceptional. They also moved us without hesitation when they saw I was anxious, which honestly meant a lot.
What I really want to praise is the A5 wagyu.. We’ve tried A5 wagyu at many restaurants but this was the best one. The cooking was perfect. We ate all of it with just salt without any sauce. It wasn’t greasy at all. just perfect.
The beef roll was a little disappointing. The meat was very lean and cooked well done So it felt a bit dry.
The service was warm, professional, and attentive, making us feel genuinely welcome throughout our visit. The atmosphere was stylish yet comfortable, creating the perfect setting for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. Every detail was spot on. Highly recommend Fatcow and we can’t wait to retun.
The service was just as impressive. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly passionate about the menu, which made the whole experience even better. We did have one side come out slightly overcooked, but it was replaced immediately without any hesitation or fuss. That kind of responsiveness says a lot about how seriously they take customer experience.
The room’s low, moody lighting and dark charcoal tones set a luxe, intimate vibe. It’s the kind of atmosphere that slows you down and makes every bite feel deliberate.
From the first bite to the last, the food was flawless. Warm bread with silky cultured butter set the tone, then the Wagyu tasting experience stole the show—deep flavour, perfect texture, cooked with precision. Every plate showed craft and patience. Even dessert was a knockout: a rich, gently caramelised Basque cheesecake that ended the meal on a high.
Service was attentive without hovering. Courses landed with rhythm, staff knew the menu inside out, and their suggestions hit every mark. The room has that rare balance of energy and comfort, ideal for a celebration or a long, unhurried dinner.
If you’re chasing a meal that feels considered at every step, book Fatcow. Go for the Wagyu, stay for the details, and don’t leave without the cheesecake. You’ll fall in love with the menu the way we did.
