Having experienced the Cheesesteak Lunch solo and incurring my wife's wrath for not bringing her along, we returned to Matu for our Anniversary Dinner. The Host welcomed us graciously, wished us a Happy Anniversary, and seated us immediately at a cozy table in the corner of the busy dining room. The serving team quickly approached, filling our water glasses and again welcoming us with big smiles. We'd had some cocktails before arriving, so my wife decided to stick with a Diet Coke for dinner, but I ordered a martini that was perfectly poured, icy cold, and topped with very fresh, blue cheese olives--a great start. Interestingly, Matu does not offer a filet mignon à la carte. The only way to order a filet (my wife's favorite cut) is to order the Filet Dinner, which is a 4-course tasting menu. Perhaps they just can't get enough filet at the quality they insist on -- I don't know -- but we decided to order the Filet Dinner and share the intermediary courses, with me ordering a small Ribeye and Creamed Spinach as my entree. The meal begins with a small cup of 24-hour Bone Broth that arrives steaming hot and packed with beefy flavor. The rich broth actually coats your tongue a bit, and the flavor lingers nicely. Next would have been Steak Tartare, but my wife substituted the Japanese Caesar, which was exceptionally tasty, with flavors in the dressing I simply couldn't place, but would happily eat for days. The last of the appetizers was a duo of Beef Croquettas -- also rich and flavorful with a savory sauce that amped up the richness even further. I don't know if I could eat an entire order (the full appetizer comes with 4 croquettas). Finally, on to the steak. My wife's Filet was melt-in-your-mouth tender, with a deep flavor. My own Ribeye was equally tender, with a rich flavor from the marbling. Both steaks were served the house way, which is warm and red in the middle, with a lovely crust from live fire. These folks know how to make a steak, that's for sure. Creamed spinach was much the same as most places... still, very satisfying and a great accompaniment. For dessert, we ordered the Strawberry Panna Cotta, which was served with a celebratory candle for our anniversary. Mildly sweet with a slight tang from the berries, this was a light and refreshing way to cap the meal. I have to say, this was an excellent dinner with fine service in a wonderful atmosphere. Additionally, the prices are quite reasonable for the location and the quality of the food, and our dinner here was $200 LESS than our Valentine's dinner at Cipriani, so I have to say this would be your much better bet for a celebratory night out. Though my wife insists we come back soon for lunch so she can get that amazing cheesesteak... and I'm totally willing to join her LOL! read more

Please NOTED they will charge 18% tip to your bill. The host was unfriendly, and the waitress was not attentive or responsible. The food wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't worth the price, and the plating was poorly done. Nothing really surprised me except the automatic 18% gratuity. read more

I definitely need to come back to Matu again! My husband and I had the Ribeye Dinner for 2, which had four courses. Every single course was great. Included was: 1) bone broth, 2) steak tartare (I subbed my portion for the 47 salad), 3) Picanha skewers, and 4) ribeye steak and Japanese Caesar to share. Absolutely no notes. Our favorite course was definitely the last, with the ribeye and Japanese Caesar. Everything was delicious and we felt the price was reasonable for the quality and variety of dishes. Our server, Jasmine, was also great. Great ambiance in the restaurant as well! We made a reservation so didn't have any issues with waiting. Our service was also pretty quick. We used the valet parking for convenience. We definitely would like to come back and try more from Matu! read more

Matu - Ribeye Ribeye or NY Dinner for 2 - Steakhouses Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

It is breaking my heart to write this because I have been dying to try the Matu cheesesteak for SO long, but this was definitely way overhyped. The cheesesteak was super greasy and fatty, the bread was rubbery/dry, and the flavors came mostly from the cheese and sesame than the meat itself. I took one bite and couldn't do anymore. What is even more frustrating is the 18 percent service fee automatically added to the order, making one subpar cheesesteak and chips $40. Definitely disappointing and will not go back. There is far better out there. read more

I decided to try Matu for their halal options. We confirmed with the waiter that almost everything is halal except the beef croquettes and braised beef cheek. The waiter and staff were friendly and professional. The restaurant itself is what you would expect of a steakhouse. Elegant but crowded. We got the ribeye dinner for 2 and here's what I thought of each dish: 1. Beef bone broth 3/5 - this comes very hot so took a minute or two to actually drink it. It was good but nothing more than a normal bone broth. 2. Beef tartare 4/5 - I was nervous eating this one as I never had raw beef before. The flavor however was very delicious and reminded me a bit like sashimi. While it's not something I would reach for just because of the thought of raw beef I am so glad I tried it as someone who only eats halal. It was very delicious. 3. Picanha skewers 4/5 - the meat itself was very fatty and charred on the outside really well. I could easily pull off a piece from the skewer. The sauces were an interesting pair and went well with the skewers. 4. Japanese Caesar iceberg 5/5 - as someone who loves cheese and Caesar dressing, this was absolutely delicious! It's basically half of a lettuce head in which they spread the dressing and cheese on top. The dressing itself had a good tang and I appreciate the amount of cheese that they put on top. Would get again. 5. Ribeye to share 3/5 - this was a good ribeye. It was warm throughout and went well with the sides. They only allow for one temperature but I waited said he can ask to have it a little more cooked as I am more of a medium steak person. I would say when they have side dishes that shine the steak did feel a little lackluster. Addition twice baked potato 5/5 - this was not included in the standard ribeye for 2. We added this on top and am I glad we did. It was so good. Crispy on the outside and soft like mash potatoes on the inside. I would come back just for this. Overall, Matu is a nice restaurant to go to if you want to do a fancy dinner. read more

I can see why this is often rated the best cheesesteak in LA! The freshly baked sesame roll takes the sandwich to the next level for me and adds a nice depth of flavor in each bite. Plenty of wagyu beef that is seasoned well and cooked perfectly. The cooper sharp cheese is a nice tough but not overpowering. Roasted long hot pepper was not hot, but it would be nice if it was. I'd skip out on the house-made potato chips next time as they were overly salted and nothing special. Service was great and quick with lunch being bar seating only. Will be back for more and now I want to try the dinner! read more

Matu - Matū Philly Cheesesteak and House-made Wagyu Potato Chips - Steakhouses Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

We stopped into Matū after having dinner at another amazing Beverly Hills restaurant, hoping to grab a drink and get a feel for the vibe. Unfortunately, the service experience at the front was so disappointing that we never even made it past the host stand. When we walked in, we asked if we could sit at the bar which had three open seats. The hostess immediately told us the bar had an hour wait. I was confused, since it's a bar... and we had just come from Jade and Wally's, where the bars are extremely popular, always packed, and first-come, first-served like almost every other high-end spot in the area. I asked why we couldn't sit in the open seats, and she said they had four people waiting and were holding all the seats until four spots opened up together, meaning nobody could sit at the bar until that happened. There were two open seats together and then one person and then another open seat. She repeated that the wait would be at least an hour, maybe longer, even though multiple seats were empty right in front of us. The hostess was curt, dismissive, and honestly borderline rude in the way she explained it. The policy itself makes absolutely no sense and feels like it's doing them a major disservice. Holding up a bar with open seats for a party of 4 that can't sit until who knows when instead of seating guests who simply want a drink, is baffling. So unfortunately, I can't speak to the food or drinks, but I can say the service and first impression were not good at all. Beverly Hills has too many amazing spots with great hospitality to deal with that kind of confusion and attitude. Big bummer, and we won't be returning. read more

Matu - Steakhouses Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

I had to try it. So I ordered delivery since I live close to the original BH location. And of course, got the steak sandwich. Took longer than an hour. Hard to tell if that was the restaurant's fault or not since I ordered from a third party app. I didn't love it. The chips that are your only side option were not good at all. We ended up just tossing them. And this steak sandwich is absolutely not a cheesesteak. I really didn't discern any flavor at all. Fans of this viral sandwich will blast anyone who orders it to go or delivery, claiming that to truly understand the hype one must eat it as soon as it's prepared. If that is the case, Matu should not offer delivery or carryout. Easy fix. I'm sure the steakhouse menu is much better but this "cheesesteak" can easily be skipped. read more

Came here on Valentine's Day with a reservation and we were sat within 10 minutes. The service throughout our meal was great - our server was helpful, attentive & warm. If the Rustic Ribeye was what we thought it would be, they would've definitely got a 5 because everything else was really really good! We got the Matū dinner for 2 and upgraded to the Rustic Ribeye. I think my favorite dishes were the filet with the 47 salad & the beef tartare. The beef tartare had great flavor - savory, a little salty, a bit creamy from the egg & good aromatics. read more

My husband had a work lunch here today. Sadly, I did not go :__-( It was for two people, and they both got a cheesesteak and shared a salad and potato chips. Hubby brought me home a sandwich :-) :-) :-) SO sweet!!!! So, naturally, I jumped onto to yelp to let you know how it is to go.... Excellent! lol I have eaten at the bar but this is the first time brought home and reheated it. I can confirm that it is just as great! Why? Because they give you reheating instructions and they are perfect! Sandwich is wrapped with a scan sticker that tells you what to do. I re wrapped the sandwich in foil and placed in my air fryer on the bake function and it was deeeeelish!!!!!! OMG! This sandwich is my favorite steak sandwich. So nice to know it's just as yummy to go. I would recommend it to anyone. Great restaurant....dinner too! read more

This review is specifically for the cheesesteak as I have not tried the dinner portion of Matu. This all coming from a Philly transplant. First, the overall set up for eating here and ordering. We arrived around 1:15 and were informed they were taking no more waitlist for seating. Only the bar area is open for lunch so there aren't a ton of seats. The waiting area is a bit crammed and it's very difficult to tell who is in line to sit and who is waiting for a to go order. It was pretty hectic. Luckily they let us place a to go order and we were able to sit outside on a couple lounge chairs located in front of the restaurant. The food took about 30 minutes to come out. We did a lap around the neighborhood and grabbed some coffee nearby while we waited. Nice part of town for sure. The sandwich itself is very tasty. Tender meat, nice flavor and I am a huge fan of Italian long hot peppers so it was nice to see one in LA as they are not common over here. The seeded roll was nice, if not a bit over toasted on the sesame seeds. Overall the sandwich gets a solid 8/10 for me on taste alone. My issue with this spot is the price and the size of the sandwich. We got one sandwich and it came out to almost $32 after the mandatory 18% tip. Who am I tipping? I had to wait in line and check on if my sandwich was ready four different times. It's also a skinny roll relative to something you'd get in Philly and pretty much double the price. That's the main issue with places trying to elevate food that is traditionally inexpensive. This is a $20 sandwich max and deserves to be served at 2AM after bar hopping. I'm not sure if a high end cheesesteak works for me conceptually. It's meant to be comforting and cheap. Going here was both stressful and expensive. Overall I give the experience a 3.5/5 but am rounding up because the sandwich was good, just overpriced. read more

Matu - Best cheesecake and bone broth - Steakhouses Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Came for the Philly cheesesteak sandwich and wow... it's phenomenal. Each sandwich is made fresh by the chefs, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. Every part of it feels thoughtfully done. The sesame bread is delicious, slightly sweet, and toasted to perfection. The steak is high-quality and full of flavor. They use sharp white American cheese, and honestly, that's what sealed the deal for me. If you love good cheese, you will love this. I usually don't order mine with peppers, but if you like a little spice, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. One thing to keep in mind: expect a wait. No matter how early you come, there's usually a minimum 45 minute wait to be seated, and sometimes it can be up to two hours or more. Still, if you're patient, it's definitely worth it. read more

Matu - Matū Philly Cheesesteak - Steakhouses Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Review is for takeout. My cheesesteak was decent but didn't meet my expectations as I was told this is the best one outside of Philly. The pepper definitely added a different yet enjoyable aspect but it was on the drier side & wasn't hefty at all. I imagine this is better eaten in the restaurant so take my review with a grain of salt. read more

Matu - Wagyu cheesesteak - Steakhouses Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Matū is definitely the place to go for a sumptuous steak. They serve Grass Fed Wagyu. On the most recent visit, we came for my husband's birthday. I made the reservation on their website. They texted me on the day of to confirm the reservation. We found metered parking on the street halfway down the block on Beverly Dr. There is a Valet stand available out front for $15. The first time hubby & I came here was for lunch. We shared a Matū Philly Cheesesteak ($24) & House-made Wagyu Potato Chips ($4) back on April 6, 2025. It is a pretty exceptional Cheesesteak! We also shared the 24-Hr Bone Broth ($9) & the "47" Salad ($16). Everything was so delicious! They only serve the cheesesteaks at the bar counter & is available on a first come first served basis. On this past visit, March 8, 2026, we originally chose to get the Rustic Ribeye Dinner for 2, but the meat had too much sinew in it for us to want to chew through. When asked how it was, we decided to tell them how we felt instead of politely saying it was okay. We were then offered the Ribeye and reluctantly accepted the offer. We really don't like to complain or cause an issue. So, what we had for dinner was the Ribeye Dinner for 2 for $148. It includes: *24-Hr Bone Broth - nice and rich beefy broth! *Steak Tartare - flavorful and tender tartare! Hubby doesn't typically eat raw meat, but he managed to eat this. *Picanha Skewers with Tahini Sauce & Zhoug - these were nicely charred on the exterior and held excellent flavor. I appreciated the grilled tomatoes *Japanese Caesar - one shared between 2 people - this was pretty unique and was refreshing to eat with the ribeye and after eating all the other meats *13-14oz Ribeye - one shared between 2 people - the ribeye is a great cut! They thinly slice the very rare meat making it super easy to eat. We enjoyed it fresh from the kitchen and as leftovers. It remained tender and moreish. *Extra - Arturo's Panna Cotta topped with macerated strawberries ($12) - this was really tasty! The macerated strawberries paired well with the silky panna cotta. Although the Dinner for 2 gave us more than enough food, I would definitely order a veggie or some sort of side dish to accompany the meat forward meal. **Per their website & on their menu: +An 18% Fee will be added to your bill. +This is not a tip or gratuity and it is not for service rendered by our people. We are a no-tipping establishment. +The Fee is revenue that is not segmented or designated in any way and it is taxed per state law. +WE ACCEPT CREDIT/DEBIT CARDS ONLY Steaks are essentially cooked super lightly, almost rare. The table next to us wanted their steak cooked a little more. Samantha took a super hot dinner plate to their table and transferred their steak to the plate to cook a little more. Samantha made sure all the diners in the restaurant were enjoying their dinners. Service is quite efficient and polite. We received fresh utensils and plates as needed for each course. We interacted with Nolan, Julia, & Samantha. Nolan initially started us out and then Julia seemed to replace him. Samantha wanted to make up for our disappointment with the Rustic Cut Ribeye. She went above and beyond, and even comped the dessert for my husband's birthday. They don't normally do this for celebrations. We left on a happy note and will return again! read more

This place has really good reviews yet slightly disappointing. We came here for a birthday occasion and service was terrible, we had to wait forever for the server and she got the orders wrong multiple times. Birthday cake (which was a candle on a slice of normal chocolate cake cost $12) Steak was tender yet extremely salty. Tartare was okay. Very overpriced for the food quality. read more

Matu has hands down one of the best sandwiches in all of Los Angeles. Only available during lunch time, the Matu Philly Cheesesteak is something you should try at least once. Unlike a regular Philly Cheese Steak, the Matu version is much more refined and less messy. I really love the Wagyu Ribeye meat that they use, followed by the Cooper Sharp Cheese. Great balance of flavors, I'd also recommend getting their house made potato chips and a sprite to wash everything down. Overall great service and food every time I visit, still need to come for the dinner menu. Would I go again? Absolutely! read more

Okay okay, first of all thank you for this amazing halal options for using all First Light Halal meat! Food wise: this place is a 5/5 or 6/5, I LOVE the cheesesteak, its soooo good. I read all the reviews for the cheesesteaks and it lived up to all of the expectations, it was so amazing. I didnt try anything else here, but would come here any day for the cheesesteak The negatives: - cheesesteak exclusivity and noninclusiveness: for some strange reason, there's a bunch of weirdness for lunch and cheesesteaks. Its only available at the bar and its only available for takeout at lunch time. So I dont drink alcohol for religious purposes, I dont want to sit at the bar, and would just prefer getting it takeout in that case. But no, they require bar seating, but then at least allow takeout. Yeah i just dont get it ngl - takeout is only available through postmates. So if you call for takeout they will just say order through there. No other online way to get takeout. For dinner, they dont allow takeout at all, for cheesesteaks at least, since they require bar seating. All I want is a cheesesteak to go at lunch and dinner time, is that too much to ask read more

Matū was absolutely amazing. We ate at the bar for a last minute Friday date night. Service: 5/5 Shawn was the most amazing server/bartender. Very knowledgeable, fun, friendly, kind. The hostesses were also kind and welcoming. Food: 5/5 Every single dish was amazing. The quality of the meat, the flavors of the bone broth and beef cheek was perfection. Timing and service was impeccable. I usually get their Wagyu Philly cheese steak for lunch if you're ever here during the day! Ambiance: 5/5 Dark, cool, relaxing date night. Volume is perfect. Even when every seat is taken, you're not yelling to hear each other. Tips: I recommend getting a reservation as the line got longer throughout the night. This is a no tipping establishment, but an 18% is added to every check. read more

Some of the best steak I've ever had. It was just so so delicious. Perfectly prepared but also not overdone and/or weirdly gamey tasting like some other places.

This is our second visit back whenever we are in town to see my daughter. We've always gone for the Dinner for 2 and enjoyed it both times ! It is a 5 courses dinner and starts out with the 24-Hour Bone Broth, Steak Tartare, Japanese accent 8-Hour Braised Beef Cheek, celeriac puree 3 oz Center Cut Filet with '47' Salad To share - 12 oz Ribeye or 11 oz NY Strip and Grilled broccolini, garlic. Everything was very delish! The service was good. It is a very intimate setting and space is a little tight but they were very accommodating. We had our 4 month old grandson with us and they moved us to a table where we could put the carseat on. read more

I went on a Tuesday night and the place was absolutely packed and the moment I tasted the food, it all made sense. The Wagyu steak was phenomenal. It literally melted in my mouth, and had such rich, deep flavor that I couldn't stop savoring it. The appetizers were just as impressive. The Japanese steak tartare was beautifully balanced, the Japanese Caesar salad felt both familiar and refreshingly unique, the octopus was incredibly tender, and the picanha skewer had amazing flavor. And I have to mention the lobster tail. It was absolutely outstanding and one of the highlights of the entire meal. Every single dish we ordered was genuinely delicious. The interior is clean and minimal without any clutter, though it is definitely on the darker side. The service was warm, friendly, and very attentive. Overall, this place completely lived up to the hype, and I would highly recommend it. read more

Stopped by on a whim after an appointment in Beverly Hills. It was Thursday around 5pm, but the place was already packed. Asked to be seated at the bar so we can try the cheesesteak. Front desk was very pleasant and helpful, giving up an approximate wait time of 10-15 mins which was spot on. Service at the bar was great and loved that you can order from the full menu. We don't get out this far west often, so we ordered the Matū dinner which is a minimum of two persons and the cheesesteak. First the cheesesteak. The hype is real. From the toasted bread, quality of the meat and cheese and I loved the pepper inside. Perfection. Will need to try their location in Pasadena which is much closer. Yeah! The Matu dinner was pretty fire as well. Bone broth and tartare were the standouts for us. I'm not a big fan of tartare either. Beef cheek, filet, ribeye and broccolini were are very good, but dishes I've had as good or better. All in all I'm happy we stopped by and would do so again when in the neighborhood. Bar service was excellent and something we would prefer again for the cheesesteak! Key notes: I was underdressed (shorts and a tee shirt) not planning on a sit down dinner, but staff were pleasant and didn't mention anything :). Most people were not in shorts, so dress up a bit if you don't want stares :). Street parking is available but valet is super convenient. Cheesesteaks were only being served at the bar and not in dining room. read more

At about $500 for two, Matū felt a tad less than. The beef was absolutely divine, only cooked medium rare, to slight more (if you're a medium well, to well done person- this place is NOT for you). The caviar potato was served warm, and lacked depth and flavor. The bone broth was served piping hot, and it was delicious. Lobster was good, served butter soft. A good choice to order. Moreover, the chips were one of our favorite items. The mushrooms were burnt, and the garlic bread had a slight sour taste to it due to the cheese... Desert was the best part of the meal and the French press is a must order. Smooth and delightful. Our service was impeccable. Joe was absolutely a delight to have as our server. A dark ambiance of any other steakhouse was expected and that's exactly what it served. Small in size, so make a reservation. Limited parking, valet is available. Will I be back, probably, but is it the BEST steakhouse in Beverly Hills? No, absolutely not. Meh. Cheers to perfection Yelpers xx read more

My son has been hyping the Matū Philly Cheesesteak for ages, and he finally brought one over the other day. One bite in and--wow. This is the best cheesesteak I've ever had in LA. Maybe anywhere. Full stop. The Wagyu ribeye + sirloin combo is sliced thin, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and loaded with melted Cooper Sharp cheese and grilled onions. Pure flavor. Pure joy. But let's talk about the bun, because this thing deserves its own Yelp review. It's that rare, East Coast-style sesame roll you almost never find in SoCal--lightly toasted, thin golden exterior, super soft and buttery inside. Not dense. Not hard. Not "why is my mouth getting scratched?" Perfect. Absolutely perfect. The roasted long hot pepper brings a deep, delicious heat and rounds out the whole sandwich. And if you're heat-sensitive, no problem--just remove most of it. You still get all the amazing flavor with a softer spice level. We ordered this to-go, and even their takeout service was smooth, friendly, and fast--everything packaged perfectly and still warm when it got to me. All I know is... we were craving another one the very next night. This sandwich is dangerous in the best possible way. read more

Had high hopes for Matu especially after hearing they were going to expand into the SGV. We just missed the first seating so the hostess said maybe 30-45 minutes for a seat at the bar. As my buddy and I had plans at 2, we decided to just place a take out order on Postmates. To our surprise, the estimate on Postmates was about the same! We opted to keep the take out order and headed next door for coffee as we waited for the food. My order actually took close to an hour before it was ready. 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. read more

Matu at the bar is the way to go. No reservations, you will wait but they take your name and there are plenty of spots nearby to while away the time. It's a short menu and I suggest you try EVERYTHING. I am from Philly. No part of that sandwich is a Philly cheesesteak, but it's the best Philly cheesesteak I've ever had. The bone broth is so flavorful, the chips are perfect. The ambiance is great and the staff are lovely. 10/10 read more

Wonderful experience. We came to celebrate our 7th year anniversary and our server, Sophie, took great care of us throughout the meal. We ordered the Matu steak dinner (5 courses), a few cocktails, beef tallow fries, and dessert at the end. I liked the peppery bone broth which comes piping hot and is comforting to start the meal with. The steak in the following courses was served warm throughout, and rarely needed the additional salt that is offered with the meal. The beef tallow fries had the perfect amount of crunch and I loved our fresh strawberry panna cotta. Matu also offers mocktails upon request. I'd love to come back to try other items on their menu, such as the pasta and other multiple-course dinners. read more

Okay Sooo if you are coming for lunch , come early They open at 11:30 and it's first come first serve, with 14 stools bar seating only , and the hostess will put you on the waitlist . Megan the hostess was actually amazing and treated everyone nicely and fair. Seeing her interact with customers was nice as she is very patient in explaining how to ensure a good experience at Matu. We waited a bit and were seated at the bar, bartender was very nice. We both ordered the Matu Phillycheesesteak and housemate wagyu wallow fried chips . The cheesesteak is definitely worth the money , the quality is amazing , the beef is really good quality and the taste of the meat isn't overpowered by any of the other Ingredients , the cheese was nice and creamy and the hot pepper was a nice addition , but too spicy for me( I removed it ) The server who brought our food out was really nice and engaging, and Soo that was nice In the future I would order ahead and skip dining in, and maybe eat in like a park or something close by If you drink , the bar and bartender service would be a great accompaniment to the cheesesteak I would skip the house made wagyu tallow chips , they didn't taste fresh enough and weren't salted. read more

Matu is a newer steakhouse tucked into Beverly Hills that's all about precision and quality. They serve only grass-fed Wagyu, and you can taste the difference. The space is small, classy, and dimly lit--cozy in a way that feels tailor-made for fall and winter nights. We went with the Matu sampler for two, which included beef tartare (you can swap it for a salad), beef cheeks, filet mignon, ribeye, and bone broth. We added picanha and beef tallow fries on the side--and every bite was dialed in. The picanha was interesting because it featured Middle Eastern spices. Rich, clean flavors, no excess. This is the kind of spot that values quality over quantity, and it shows in every detail. A couple things to note: Matu only cooks steaks two ways--either their standard (which leans medium rare) or "a little more." So if you're someone who likes your steak well-done, this might not be your spot. Also, they don't accept tips. That's built into their service model, and honestly, the staff still delivers with professionalism and warmth. If you're looking for a steakhouse that's intimate, intentional, and built around top-tier beef, Matu delivers. read more

Matu is widely known for its cheesesteak--and for good reason--but don't sleep on the dinner menu. I went for dinner and started with the garlic bread, which was outstanding: perfectly soft and fluffy on the inside with a crisp, golden exterior. Simple, comforting, and executed flawlessly. For the main, I had the ribeye, and it was exceptional--beautifully cooked, rich, and deeply satisfying. Easily one of the best steaks I've had in Los Angeles. The atmosphere really completes the experience. The space is dark and intimate with a lively, energetic vibe, and the staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which elevates the entire night.

*cheesesteak review* Someone on this earth will one day need to explain to me the appeal of the crusted sesame roll. Lots of stuff to love about Matu. You walk in and see a bunch of folks eating cheesesteaks at a bar in a dimly lit room. Vibes off the charts. Kitchen is just churning out steaks. The steak itself is quite good. The meats delicious and well cooked. The cheese coated beautifully, nicely on the side of the roll. Crunch preserved on onions. Sneaky hot pepper adds some zing and a signature touch. But the roll. Why. Is it Angelos fault? Did they set this silly fad? Should not be a struggle to bite through the roll, and the Matu has two touches overtoasted. The sesame roll can certainly be a treat but it carries a big risk you have to toast exactly right. Final rating 4.5 but if you want to be the GOAT you gotta hit on every level. It's a good one read more

Matu - Matū Philly Cheesesteak - Steakhouses Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Dined here today for lunch and it lived up to the hype. We arrived at 11:45 and it took approximately 50 minutes to be seated for our party of 4. We split 3 cheesesteaks and 2 chips, but 1/2 of a cheesesteak would've definitely been enough for me. The meat and cheese and bread is all high quality and the pepper packs a flavorful punch. The bar seating is limited and the ambiance is dark but it's a fun outing. They also seem to prepare a lot of cheesesteaks to go to if you want to avoid the wait for seating. read more

Loved this place and the steak was phenomenal. We celebrated a birthday here and loved that we chose Matu to celebrate as they made it so special. Our drinks were perfect and so were all the items we chose. It's a smaller space so definitely limited seating, we had made a reservation a month in advance but looks like people tried to do walk ins and there was no space. Our servers were all amazing. The garlic bread was insane we almost ordered another round but we got really full. The ragu pasta was so mouthwatering and melted right in our mouth. The gem salad was soooo refreshing. The creamed spinach was the perfect touch with the fries. The ribeye was cooked to perfection and the flavor was so good. We definitely want to come back for lunch to try the Philly cheesesteak. read more

I have to start the review with saying that each persons experience is definitely different. Also, I should have listened to my gut and continued to not eat at Matu after years of temptation. I am rating two stars, one star for my experience and one star for some of the food. If you are like me and a person that likes a steak cooked to a temp that is typically frowned upon, this is not the place for you. When they say they cook their steaks to a warm center and in certain circumstances a little more. They're a little more = medium rare +. Needless to say, I couldn't eat steak at a steak restaurant. But the fish I had was very good. Not bending on how meat is prepared is new to me, I won't be back and based on the attitude of the restaurant, they don't care. I enjoyed the shrimp cocktail. The horseradish was good. The other apps for the table were beef carpaccio and beef tartare. While I didn't try any of those uncooked treats, the table said the carpaccio was fantastic but the tartare was boring and bland. I had their take on a cesar salad and it was fine. Our sides were the broccolini and cream spinach which were fine. The beef tallow fries however were a freaking 10/10. The desserts were fine but boring selections. A flourless chocolate cake and three flavors of panna cotta. The cocktails were solid. Although it feels they had a limited selection of spirits. The 18% automatic gratuities added to the check didn't bother me. The lack of service because of it did. The number of times we had to request our table be cleared was a little ridiculous. It was very disappointing but like I said I should have known better. One and done with disappointment. A party of 7, a restaurant of this caliber should never end with such disappointment. read more

The fact that I'm not a meat eater speaks volumes about this restaurant! We were there a few days ago and I can still taste the yumminess. First off...make reservations! They do offer valley parking but there are also meters around. Street parking is difficult because most places require a permit. The inside is not that fancy but it's dimly lit and offers a romantic atmosphere. Service was also top notch with friendly and welcoming staff. The menu offers a la cart or different set menus. Honestly, the set menus are the way to go because you can try a variety of dishes. The least expensive was $87 and the most $115 I believe. We got the most expensive, which included most everything on the menu (the most popular items). And trust me it s a lot of food! Portions are not big but it's enough. I was full half way through all the dishes. Some of my favorites included the beef cheeks, bone broth and rib eye. Worth the high price tag for great food! Would defiantly go back!! read more

This must be our fourth or fifth time coming here. Matū is absolutely, without question, our favorite steakhouse in all of Los Angeles. We love the food, which is tender and flavorful and carefully sourced. We love the service, which is attentive and informative. Samantha was very careful to check in on ingredients to accommodate my gluten allergy. As always, the ambiance is calming and intriguing, only occasionally disrupted by bright cell phone lights trying to illuminate the menu nevertheless, it's so charming and delicious read more
