Steak Sudaku has recently opened its second outlet along Beach Road. Specialising in Omi beef, one of Japan's top wagyu brands with over 400 years of heritage. The restaurant imports its prized beef directly from Shiga Prefecture.
The menu features three types of beef cuts with varying degrees of marbling alongside other non-steak dishes that showcase the versatility of this premium ingredient. Steak options include the A5 Regular Wagyu Steak ($29.80/150g), A5 Grade Lean Wagyu Steak ($34.80/150g), and A5 Grade Marbled Omi Beef Steak ($39.80/150g). I tried both the Lean Wagyu and the Marbled Omi Beef.
A5 Lean Wagyu Steak 4.5/5
The A5 Lean Wagyu Steak offers a cut with a higher proportion of lean meat and finer fat particles. As it's derived from a more muscular section, the steak had a chewier bite and a meatier texture. I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of flavour in each bite, especially given that it's a leaner cut. The savoury steak sauce poured over upon serving added an umami-rich dimension to the overall profile.
A5 Marbled Omi Beef Steak 4/5
In contrast, the A5 Marbled Omi Beef Steak, with its high-fat marbling, was sliced thinner and given a quick sear on both sides before being served on a hotplate. The thinner cut helped render the fat more effectively, resulting in a rich and flavourful bite that wasn't overwhelmingly fatty. That said, the tail end of the steak was slightly drier than the centre. Overall, the steaks were satisfying, though I felt that the black pepper seasoning and steak sauce could be toned down, allowing the natural flavours of the beef to shine.
There's also an option to turn your steak into a set by topping up for Salad ($2.80), Soup ($2.80), and Rice ($3.80), all of which come with free refills. The salad, essentially sliced cabbage, was quite basic and skippable, especially since pickles were already provided at the table. The soup, made from beef trimmings simmered for three hours, felt homely and rustic in the best way, though it could benefit from less salt. The rice was plump, glossy, and enjoyable, something I would much prefer over the wedges that were served alongside the steak.
Stepping into Steak Sudaku feels like walking into a small, rustic eatery in Japan. With its simple furnishings and somewhat makeshift decor, it’s a no-frills spot for diners craving a fuss-free wagyu steak experience.
