Proxi
Chicago, IL · New American
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 global street-food restaurant on West Randolph with two Wagyu dishes that could hardly be less alike. A5 Wagyu at 70 arrives on a 700 degree hot rock with black truffle ponzu and Japanese pickles, so you sear it yourself at the table. Wagyu beef cheek at 40 is braised into a panang curry with coconut sticky rice and peanuts. The grade is stated on the first but no region or brand is given for either.

Common questions
- Does Proxi serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 19, 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 Proxi serve?
- Its menu discloses unknown and A5 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 Proxi 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.
