Marble 8's signature cut. A prime-grade Australian Wagyu ribeye is selected, then hung in the restaurant's custom dry-aging room for 21-28 days depending on the butcher's judgment. During aging, surface moisture evaporates, concentrating flavors and creating a natural crust. The steak is grilled over high heat until a deep crust forms, then rested and finished with cultured butter and sea salt. Reviewers consistently mention the Wagyu marbling — fat distributed throughout the meat creates richness without heaviness. This is the steak you order to experience the restaurant's core mission.
Tips from diners
Lunch portions and pricing are slightly smaller than dinner. A set lunch with soup, main, and sides runs MYR 118++. Good value for exploring the restaurant without the full dinner spend.
Ask your server how long this cut was aged — some days it might be 21, other days 28. Longer aged will have more intense flavor. Request the longer-aged cuts if available.
The ideal steakhouse side. Buttery mashed potatoes are laced with black truffle shavings and truffle oil, then topped with crispy sage leaves. This is where the steakhouse acknowledges luxury on the plate — not every guest orders it, but reviewers who do note it's worth the extra cost. The umami from truffle complements the beef without competing.
Tips from diners
This side is pricey for potatoes but worth it as a luxe touch. Order it with your steak to complete the fine-dining experience.
A light opening course that showcases marbled Wagyu in its raw state. Paper-thin slices reveal the intramuscular fat structure that defines Wagyu quality. Bright lemon, briny capers, and crispy shallots provide contrast to the richness. Reviews note this as an elegant way to start if you want to honor the beef quality without committing to a full grilled steak.
Tips from diners
Order this to understand Wagyu before committing to a large steak. The marbling is visible and the raw preparation highlights fat distribution better than cooked beef.
For diners who want Wagyu but prefer a leaner cut with less marbling fat, the striploin offers more beef-forward flavor with less richness. The aging process still applies — 21+ days in the dry-aging cellar. The leaner profile means it benefits from precise cooking to medium-rare and rests longer before serving to retain juices. Reviews often compare this to the ribeye as a lighter alternative that still showcases the restaurant's beef quality.
Tips from diners
This cut is leaner and cooks faster, making it a safer lunch choice if you're on a time constraint. Less risk of being overcooked than fattier cuts.
The porterhouse is a bone-in cut combining strip on one side and tenderloin on the other, separated by the bone. Marble 8's version sources American Angus that is aged alongside the Wagyu. The bone adds flavor and creates a visual statement on the plate. The challenge is cooking both muscles to the same doneness — the tenderloin is more forgiving, the strip needs more heat. The restaurant's experienced grill team executes this consistently. Reviewers call this the 'signature photo steak' because of its size and presentation.
Tips from diners
This is a substantial steak suitable for two people to share if you order sides. The bone makes it impressive but adds weight — don't underestimate portion size.
Marble 8 occupies the 56th floor of Petronas Tower 3, a height advantage that gives every seat a panoramic view of the KL skyline and Petronas Twin Towers. The restaurant was designed as a fine dining steakhouse and builds its reputation around dry-aged beef — Australian Wagyu and Angus that are aged for a minimum of 21 days in a custom-built dry-aging cellar. The restaurant received Michelin Select recognition in the inaugural KL Guide (December 2022), acknowledging quality execution and ingredient focus. Pricing is high but justified by beef provenance and technique — no cost-cutting on the core offering.
Always book in advance. Walk-ins are not accommodated due to the intimate setting and demand. Peak times (Friday-Saturday dinner) book months ahead.
Request a window table overlooking the Petronas towers. All tables have a view, but window-facing seats maximize the panorama. Sunset service offers the best lighting for photos.
This Michelin Select restaurant earns its recognition through consistency, not innovation. Come expecting classical steakhouse execution done at the highest level — that is the point.
Set lunch menu (MYR 118++ for 3 courses, MYR 158++ for 4 courses) offers the steakhouse experience at lower cost. Good option for entertaining clients without blowing the entire budget.
