I've been meaning to visit this place for the longest time and I was so delighted to enjoy my first dinner here. The shrimp pasta was creamy and my friend got the classic beefsteak. Very nice atmosphere and the location was super convenient. Highly recommend this place for a good dinner if you are craving Western food. 🍳

Reviews
Food: The food was generally excellent—the beef was juicy, tender, and perfectly cooked. However, the plating needs work; serving boiled vegetables directly next to the fries made them soggy. While the black pepper sauce had a nice kick, the mushroom cream sauce was quite bland and tasted mostly of milk. Service: The service was very disappointing. We waited 45 minutes for our food, and when it arrived, the waitress brought the wrong order. Despite both of us hearing the correct order being placed, she insisted she was right. We ultimately accepted the wrong dish just to avoid wasting any more time. Atmosphere: While the restaurant looks clean, the atmosphere was a bit odd. The environment is very quiet, and while they play music occasionally, it often cuts off suddenly, leaving a strange silence. Most concerning, however, were the cleaning habits; the waitress used a foul-smelling cloth to wipe our table. The odor was so strong I had to re-clean the surface myself before we could eat.
Beef meat was a plain disaster, even the most "expensive". Bad taste, burnt in several spots and raw in others. Kind and helpful staff. No credit card accepted.
This has to be by far the worst steak I have ever eaten in my life. I ordered a 400g ribeye steak that looks like it has been smashed and minced. The meat is under seasoned without much salt and pepper. The sides were barely seasoned and bland. It felt almost as if I was part of kitchen’s nightmare scene. Very disappointing and I would strongly encourage anyone to go to a proper steak place and not let the high review deceive you. To the owner who may be seeing this, you really need to improve the QA of your food! Additionally your service crew could be more attentive when serving their customers (note I didn’t receive my wine on my order)
#Cowexpress CowExpress is a hidden gem perfect for those who appreciate quality steak and a warm, inviting atmosphere. I recently visited for a private party, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. We ordered a variety of dishes, including steak, pasta, salad, and fries. The steak was cooked perfectly—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The pasta was rich and satisfying, the salad fresh and crisp, and the fries were golden and addictive. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared and well-balanced. What truly stood out was the friendly and accommodating service. The staff made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout the evening, striking the right balance between attentive and unobtrusive. The ambiance is very cozy, making it a great spot for both intimate gatherings and private parties. Whether you're celebrating something special or just want a relaxing dinner with good food, CowExpress offers an experience that feels both personal and high-quality. Verdict: Definitely worth it. Highly recommended for a private get-together or anyone looking for solid comfort food in a charming setting.
