Reviews
The restaurant’s atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it ideal for a relaxing night out. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the manager went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us. Their genuine hospitality made our visit even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a halal-friendly steakhouse with excellent food and great service, Matu is a fantastic choice in Beverly Hills.
Flaws That Are Difficult to Overlook
• Weak conceptual identity: The grass-fed Wagyu narrative feels diluted. Guests appear to come because the restaurant is well located and reliable—not because the concept is powerful or memorable.
• Lack of fine-dining discipline: Cutlery wrapped in napkins, visible stacks of kitchen towels near the cashier, and staff folding cloths during service signal operational looseness. These are details that should be resolved before guests walk in.
• Staff presence lacks warmth: The team is attentive and professional, yet not particularly candid or engaging. Most of the staff appears overly serious, and the overall energy feels restrained. Explanations are minimal, with some dishes arriving at the table with little context—missing an opportunity to elevate the experience.
• No bread offering: Unusual for a steakhouse and especially surprising within a tasting-style format. It subtly reduces the perception of generosity.
• Coffee program falls short: No espresso available—only French press—and even that took considerable time due to an error. It was not offered as a courtesy afterward, which would have been an appropriate recovery gesture.
• Steak knives feel inexpensive: While not serrated (a positive), they lack the weight and craftsmanship expected in a restaurant centered around premium beef.
• Noise level is high: The room leans more energetic than refined, making conversation challenging at times.
• Valet is inefficient: $15 is reasonable for Beverly Hills, but the wait to retrieve the car feels disproportionately long.
• Fries are mediocre: Easily forgettable—particularly disappointing in a restaurant that should obsess over every detail on the plate.
• Bone broth is good, but not memorable: Flavorful yet far from mind-blowing. Given the small portion, it almost feels like it should be complimentary rather than included in the paid menu.
What Works
• Tenderloin: Delicious, very flavorful, and properly cooked—one of the highlights of the meal. However the lettuce with so much garlic destroyed the experience.
• Wagyu tartare: Very well executed, brightened by yuzu and lifted by the gentle heat of sansho pepper. Adding more toast would improve balance and usability for the portion size.
• Desserts:
• Panna cotta was well made—clean, pleasant, and enjoyable.
• The chocolate cake, however, missed the mark, with an unusual texture and a flavor that did not feel refined.

Overall, Matu delivers competent food and a visually appealing environment, but the experience does not consistently align with the expectations set by its price point. It is a good restaurant—but not yet operating at the level of a truly great steakhouse.
We ordered the Matu dinner for two with an extra side of garlic bread. The bread came out with the tartar and it was all so delicious. The filet was my favorite.
From the bone broth to the final course … the timing of everything was spaced out perfectly as well.
The vibe is chic and the service was attentive. Highly recommend making the drive if you’re not nearby.
Come here if you haven’t already.
The food was delicious, the sandwich was perfectly made with rich flavors, and the fries were crispy. Cozy atmosphere and friendly service. Definitely coming back.
The seeded roll was good and the beef was pretty flavorful. What was disappointing was that there wasn’t much cheese at all in the sandwich. Not quite sure why some Yelpers stated they had a lot of cheese but we didn’t notice or taste much of it (I ordered 5 sandwiches). The hot pepper was super spicy so be sure you can handle the heat before adding. I also ordered the wagyu potato chips which were really bland. I honestly enjoyed the day old cheesesteak more as I toasted the sandwich in our Balmuda which added a nice crispy texture.
Although the sandwich was decent, not sure it justifies the price point especially with the added 18% health charge adder. I think I’ll fulfill my cravings with a sandwich from Woodrow’s in Philly.
