About this place
Underneath the sizzling hot iron platters at Steak Max Shinjuku Nishiguchi lies an adjustable tabletop heating element, allowing diners to sear their meat to the exact doneness they like before shutting off the flame. The signature MAX Steak is a hearty cut celebrated for its satisfying lean chew and generous thickness, offered in portions ranging from 150g up to an impressive 1200g slab. Pairing freshly seared beef with table seasonings like salt, pepper, and varied dipping sauces makes for an immediate, hot-off-the-grill meal.
Rare beef hamburg and slow-cooked pork
Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the beef steaks is the thick, rounded beef hamburg patty. Served rare in the center, diners slice the patty open and press the cut faces onto the scorching skillet, creating a contrast between a crisp outer sear and a tender interior. For another change of pace, the pork steak—gently prepared with low-temperature cooking—delivers thick, succulent slices with a lighter yet juicy flavor profile compared to beef.
Custom garnishes and generous portions
In an unapologetically hearty touch, guests can customize their side garnish, choosing fried chicken karaage in place of broccoli. Lunch service includes rice and soup, complete with free rice refills that cater to larger appetites. You can also upgrade to fragrant garlic rice or order the towering Chomolungma portion to thoroughly indulge in beef and carbs together.
Tucked into the basement 1 floor near Yodobashi Camera in Nishi-Shinjuku, the shop keeps ordering swift through a mobile ordering system. It functions just as smoothly for a quick solo lunch as it does for unwinding after work with a mega-mug beer or highball alongside a mountain of grilled meat.
