Capital Prime
Lansing, MI · Steakhouse
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
An independent Lansing steakhouse on Showtime Drive, run by Joe and Kerry Goodsir and open seven days for dinner. The Prime Steaks list runs from a 60 day dry aged New York at 88 to a 38 oz tomahawk at market price, and carries one Wagyu line: Japanese A5 Wagyu at market price, served as a daily chef's cut with a choice of two sides. The owners repeat the claim in their note on the site and in the drinks book, beside USDA Prime and Certified Angus Beef. No prefecture, brand, farm or importer is named anywhere.
Authenticity flags
- The Japanese A5 Wagyu is a market price line with no fixed cut. The kitchen serves whatever the chef has that day, so ask which cut is on and what it costs before you order.
- No prefecture, brand or farm is named for the A5 anywhere on the menu, the website or the drinks book. The origin claim stops at the country, so there is no way to tell from the card which Japanese producer the beef came from.
- It is the only Wagyu item here. Every other steak on the list is USDA Prime or Certified Angus Beef, including the ones described as prime, dry aged or center cut.

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