Tanaka of Tokyo Central
Honolulu, HI · Japanese
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
A teppanyaki dining room on the third floor of the Waikiki Shopping Plaza on Kalakaua Avenue, where chefs cook at the tabletop grill. Its menu sells Wagyu as its own entree, an 8oz centre-cut Wagyu sirloin described as high-grade and premium, and Wagyu also appears inside the Kotobuki combination alongside lobster, scallops and poke. No origin, grade, prefecture or producer is printed anywhere on the menu.
Authenticity flags
- Its Wagyu sirloin names no country of origin, no grade and no producer, and the same menu is published for all three of this brand's Honolulu rooms. If provenance matters to you, ask which beef is served.

Common questions
- Does Tanaka of Tokyo Central serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 30, 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 Tanaka of Tokyo Central serve?
- Its menu discloses unknown. 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 Tanaka of Tokyo Central 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.
