Why it's listed
Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House is a Japanese all-you-can-eat shabu concept whose San Diego location opened in December 2025 at 4225 Convoy St. Its program is built around four premium tiers (roughly $45-$98) that unlock American, Australian and Japanese A5 Wagyu cuts for the hot pot. Wagyu is genuinely central to the concept rather than a novelty add-on, but the venue's public materials assert an A5 grade without naming a Japanese prefecture, brand, or producer for the top tier.

Common questions
- Does Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House - San Diego 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 Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House - San Diego serve?
- Its menu discloses unspecified, Northern California ranch and unspecified (A5 asserted, no prefecture) A5. 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 Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House - San Diego 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.
