Matū Kai
Los Angeles, CA · Steakhouse
Dedicated Wagyu house
Tier 3 · Menu claim only What the tiers mean
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
The Brentwood sibling of the Beverly Hills Matū, on San Vicente Boulevard, running the same single-producer premise: every steak is 100 percent grass-fed Wagyu from First Light Farms of New Zealand, butchered in house and served warm red. It carries its own dinner and lunch menus and its own reservation line, and the Matū Philly cheesesteak is served at the bar counter at lunch.

Common questions
- Does Matū Kai serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 13, 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 Matū Kai serve?
- Its menu discloses First Light Farms. 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 Matū Kai 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.
