Benjamin Prime
New York, NY · 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
Benjamin Steakhouse Prime sits at 23 East 40th Street between Park and Madison, part of the Benjamin Restaurant Group, and is built around USDA Prime steaks dry-aged in its own aging room. Its single Wagyu offering is an 'Imported Japanese A5 Wagyu' served at 10oz, listed beside the porterhouse, bone-in rib eye and New York sirloin. The A5 grade is advertised but no prefecture, brand, importer or producer is disclosed anywhere in the restaurant's own materials, so the claim is a lead awaiting direct confirmation rather than a published provenance.

Common questions
- Does Benjamin Prime serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 16, 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 Benjamin 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 Benjamin 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.
