Why it's listed
Wagyu Master is an all-you-can-eat Japanese Wagyu shabu and sukiyaki concept (Chubby Group) on Colorado Blvd in Pasadena, serving curated Japanese Wagyu across Gold and Diamond tiers with tableside cooking. Its own materials say the Wagyu is 100% sourced from Japan and the brand asserts JMGA A5 certification, but no prefecture, brand, or producer is named. AYCE from $39.99.

Common questions
- Does Wagyu Master - Pasadena serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 17, 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 Wagyu Master - Pasadena serve?
- Its menu discloses A5 (menu claim) 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 Wagyu Master - Pasadena 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.
