Wagyu from $68 on the menu we read · up to $168
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
The Williamsburg yakiniku room of the two-venue Hiyake group, on Bedford Ave a block off the L, grilling at the table from 3pm and closed Wednesdays. Unlike the group's Bowery room it serves Japanese BBQ only and no sushi omakase, and it books on Resy rather than MiniTable. The house menu runs a Japanese BBQ section headed by a Wagyu Meat set at 168 alongside a 68 Hiyake Meat set, and the group states its A5 Wagyu is flown in from Japan. No prefecture, brand, farm or breed generation is disclosed anywhere first-party.

Common questions
- Does Hiyake Yakiniku Bar - Williamsburg serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 21, 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 Hiyake Yakiniku Bar - Williamsburg serve?
- Its menu discloses American 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 Hiyake Yakiniku Bar - Williamsburg 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.
