What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Reviews for 8 Eighth Beef are mixed, with many praising the quality and taste of the Kobe beef and the pleasant atmosphere. However, some diners have expressed disappointment with the service, citing slow attention from staff and errors on the bill. The price point for Kobe beef is acknowledged as high, but many feel the experience is worthwhile, while others found it underwhelming for the cost.
"We came here after I promised my wife Kobe beef and our first place fell through because they "ran out" of the beef. Fortunately, this place still had cut Kobe steak left so we took a gamble on it and it paid off! Paired with a Kobe craft beer, the steaks were perfectly cooked and met every expectation of amazing beef. Not sure why the negative reviews but we highly recommend this joint for what we got!"
Sam Waterman
"The restaurant has a great atmosphere, with industrial vibes that are on par with an average burger joint in Seattle. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t justify the prices. We were disappointed with several aspects of our visit. We wiped down with table with wet wipes, leaving behind black residue. The service was lacking from the start; we had to flag the staff down not only to refill our water glasses but also to take our order and bring ketchup for the potato wedges. Ketchup was given to just two people, while the other five who ordered them were left without. The Kobe beef diced steak was tough and difficult to chew, requiring me to cut it into very small bites. The kids’ chicken and rice dish was drenched in an overly salty sauce. Despite drinking two waters and half a lemonade, our 5-year-old was still thirsty. To top it off, they made an error on the bill, attempting to charge us for a larger item we didn’t order or receive.
On the positive side, the kids' meals were reasonably priced, and the flavors were generally on point, particularly the dipping sauce for the beef and the burgers. However, for our April 2025 visit, be prepared to pay a hefty price, as the Kobe beef double cheeseburger meal ran us just shy of $40."

"First time in Kobe and of course wanted to try a Kobe Beef burger. We were directed to this restaurant and so decided to give it a try. It’s located at the Kobe Port and was easy to fine. The atmosphere was nice, there is outside and inside seating. The inside is really nice and comfortable. The staff were very nice and helpful with an English menu. We decided the Kobe Beef Burger of course and it was a little disappointing to say the least. We weren’t asked how we wanted it cooked and it was a little over cooked. I have had regular Wagu beef and this wasn’t half as good. The bread wasn’t that soft and fresh either. So we weren’t impressed but will try other places to see if it gets any better."
