Maria’s SteakCafe Celebrates First Anniversary as an Official Kobe Beef Restaurant in Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur, July 2025 – A year ago, Maria’s SteakCafe made history by becoming one of the very few restaurants in Malaysia officially recognised by the Kobe Meat Distribution Promotion Council to serve authentic Kobe beef. Today, the beloved steakhouse is celebrating the first anniversary of that prestigious milestone, reaffirming its commitment to excellence and authenticity in every bite.
Known for its passion for quality cuts and heartfelt hospitality, Maria’s SteakCafe was awarded the coveted certification in June 2024, joining a highly exclusive list of international establishments authorised to serve genuine Kobe beef—a title accompanied by the Bronze Cattle Statue, official plaque, and certificate of authenticity.
Originating from the purebred Tajima-gyu cattle in Japan’s Hyogo Prefecture, Kobe beef is renowned for its exceptional marbling, tenderness, and melt-in-your-mouth flavor. Strict standards govern its production, making it one of the rarest meats in the world. In 2023, fewer than 10 certified Kobe cattle were imported into Malaysia, and Maria’s was among the pioneers to bring this experience to local diners.
Since earning its certification, Maria’s has continued to offer authentic Kobe beef at all its outlets across the Klang Valley, including its KLCC flagship and 1 POWERHOUSE locations, where the certification plaques and statue are proudly displayed. Guests can enjoy their Kobe beef knowing it has been meticulously sourced and prepared to the highest standards.
As Maria’s SteakCafe celebrates this anniversary, diners are invited to savour the experience and indulge in what is truly one of the world’s finest steaks.
