Maria’s SteakCafe has been certified by the Kobe Beef Distribution & Promotion Council as an official Kobe beef restaurant. The hallmark of authenticity—the Bronze Cattle Statue, the official plaque, and certificate—proudly displayed at flagship outlet in KLCC & 1 POWERHOUSE, assure consumers that the Kobe beef served in the restaurant meets the highest standards. 

Therefore, you can fully trust the restaurant and enjoy the exquisite flavor of Kobe beef bursting on your taste buds at Maria’s SteakCafe with peace of mind.

Kobe beef is renowned worldwide for its exceptional marbling, tenderness, and flavor. It originates from purebred Tajima strain Wagyu cattle in Hyogo Prefecture, which are raised using traditional methods to ensure the best texture and flavor. Only beef that meets the strict standards of the Kobe Beef Distribution & Promotion Council, based on marbling, weight, and meat quality, can be certified as Kobe beef.

Kobe beef is extremely rare! Each year, only about 4,000 Tajima-gyu cattle are slaughtered, with 40% of the beef being exported. In 2023, Malaysia imported fewer than 10 certified Kobe cattle, and Maria’s SteakCafe became one of the first restaurants in Malaysia to offer this authentic meat, a great honor for local food enthusiasts!

Maria’s SteakCafe began 25 years ago in a cozy family kitchen in Ipoh, driven by a passion for food. Today, the restaurant is famous for being the “best steakhouse in town” and offering the “best Wagyu steak experience in Malaysia", serving a wide range of steaks from wagyu to dry-aged beef to Japanese Kobe A5 are all served with the original intention of providing a healthy dining experience for its guests.
