Travelled all the way to the island west just to check out @rockwagyuhk, which was totally worth it! We were lucky we had reservations because this small ๐ฏ๐ต restaurant fills up fast. We even spotted a few eager folks waiting outside (probably HKU students getting their 10% off deal).
Their menu is a wagyu lover's dream, offering various cuts and flavors of A4 wagyu that you can cook to your liking on your own stone grill. The only downside was that the seating arrangement was a bit too cozy and the tables were on the smaller side, especially when you order their set menu.
For just $48, you get a tasty salad, clam soup, rice with seaweed and egg, and a refreshing soft drink. Adding an extra $18, we upgraded one of our drinks to the instaworthy ๐๐๐ท๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฎ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ฆ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฎ (normally priced at $36) #forthegram of course

There are 3 mouthwatering ways to enjoy the thinly cut pieces of wagyu meat, which were already very rich and beefy on its own
1. Add condiment and sauces: sea salt, soya sauce and sansho pepper
2. Take a dip in the flavorful kombu broth
3. Indulge in sukiyaki sauce with a raw egg for that extra richness (FAVE!)

One of their most popular dishes, the crispy outer layer and the heavenly marbling on the tender inner meat was just irresistible. The delicious side veggies of sweet potato, mushroom, daikon and zucchini provided a refreshing touch to the meal.

While it was undeniably yummy, we couldn't help but feel that the garlic dressing slightly overshadowed the natural wagyu meat quality.
