This listing's current published materials advertise Wagyu, but the offering does not meet our full verification standard for provenance. It carries no authenticity badge; undisclosed details remain explicitly unverified.
Why it's listed
Downtown Phoenix steakhouse at the Arizona Center, open since November 2025. Its current dinner menu, dated 05/18/2026, prices three Wagyu steaks off the broiler: a 6oz Australian Wagyu Filet at 85, an 8oz Australian Wagyu Strip Loin at 95, and a 4oz Tohoku A5 Strip Loin at 98, plus a Wagyu Carpaccio starter at 32 that names no origin. The Japanese cut states an A5 grade but 'Tohoku' is a multi-prefecture region rather than a prefecture or brand, and the Australian cuts name no producer and no AUS-MEAT MB/MS score, so no offering clears its origin's standard.

Common questions
- Does Cleaverman serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 22, 2026. What the menu does not do is say which Wagyu: no prefecture, grade, breed status or producer is published, so the sourcing cannot be checked from outside. That is a gap in what is written down rather than a suggestion that anything is wrong with the beef, and plenty of kitchens buy carefully without printing the details.
- What kind of Wagyu does Cleaverman serve?
- Its menu discloses Australian and A5 Japanese. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- Why is Cleaverman listed without a Wagyu badge?
- Because a badge here means the sourcing was checked, not that the food is good. This listing is published because the venue genuinely advertises Wagyu on its own current material, and it carries no badge because that material does not say which Wagyu. If the venue publishes the prefecture, grade, breed status or producer, the listing can move.
