Why it's listed
Japanese yakiniku house at 18798 Brookhurst St in Fountain Valley, open Wednesday to Monday evenings. Its printed in-house menu carries a dedicated Wagyu program: a section headed Tsuruhashi's Premium reading A5 Wagyu from Japan at market price, and a Tsuruhashi's Wagyu Collection listing an A5 Wagyu combo, A5 Wagyu sirloin and A5 Wagyu short rib. A separate section headed US Kobe Beef sells Kobe Gold kalbi and other cuts, which is domestic American beef, not protected Japanese Kobe.

Common questions
- Does Tsuruhashi Japanese BBQ - Fountain Valley serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 20, 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 Tsuruhashi Japanese BBQ - Fountain Valley serve?
- Its menu discloses American 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 Tsuruhashi Japanese BBQ - Fountain Valley 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.
