Wagyu from $140 on the menu we read · up to $220
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
This West Des Moines steakhouse runs a two-origin Wagyu list inside its wet-aged steak section: a Japanese A-5 Wagyu at 160, and Australian MS-9 Wagyu in 16oz at 220 and 10oz at 140, with Wagyu meatballs at 20.50 among the starters. The grades are specific, and MS-9 is a real marble score rather than loose marketing. None of the three steaks carries a description, so the menu names no Japanese prefecture or brand and no Australian farm or producer. Open seven days from 3pm.
Authenticity flags
- The steak list names a Japanese A-5 Wagyu and two Australian MS-9 Wagyu cuts but prints no prefecture, brand or farm for any of them, so there is nothing on the page to check the beef against.
- The home page shows a Wagyu steak photo that the site's own image description calls Mishima Reserve American Wagyu, yet no American Wagyu appears anywhere on the current menu. Ask which beef is being served that night if a specific origin matters to you.

Common questions
- Does Irina's Steak & Seafood serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 18, 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 Irina's Steak & Seafood serve?
- Its menu discloses MS-9 Australian and A-5 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 Irina's Steak & Seafood 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.
