Why it's listed
COTE 550 Madison is Simon Kim's second Manhattan Korean steakhouse, opened April 2026 inside the landmarked 550 Madison in Midtown East, with David Rockwell interiors, smokeless tabletop grills, an in-house dry-aging room and the adjoining Bar Chimera. Its Wagyu program is unusually well-disclosed: a dedicated A5 Japanese Selection prices Kobe Ribeye from Hyogo Prefecture at $82/oz alongside Miyazaki tenderloin and ribeye and Sendai ribeye from Miyagi, plus a three-way A5 Ribeye 'Horizontal Tasting'. An American and Australian Wagyu section adds L'Grow Australian ribeye, and the Butcher's Feast takes an A5 supplement. Kobe Beef Association registration No. 2210.

Common questions
- Does COTE MADISON serve real Wagyu?
- Yes, and it says where the beef comes from. COTE MADISON in New York, NY publishes enough detail on its own materials to identify the Wagyu it sells, which is the standard this directory calls verified, last checked on July 16, 2026. That means a named Japanese brand or prefecture with its grade, an American breed status with a named producer, or an Australian producer with a marbling score.
- What kind of Wagyu does COTE MADISON serve?
- Its menu discloses Kobe (Hyogo Prefecture) A5, Miyazaki Prefecture A5, Sendai (Miyagi Prefecture) A5 and L'Grow. 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.
- Is the Wagyu at COTE MADISON Kobe beef?
- Yes, on both counts that matter. This venue appears on the official Kobe Beef Marketing and Distribution Promotion Association registry, and Kobe was on its verified menu when last checked on July 16, 2026. Both are required here: a registry listing alone is permission to buy Kobe, not proof that any is being served.
- How was COTE MADISON verified?
- By reading the venue's own current material, its menu, its site or its ordering system, and quoting the line that names the beef. Reviews, aggregator copies and press mentions are not accepted as the source, because they go stale silently. Verification is assisted by AI and every claim is stored with the page it came from, last confirmed on July 16, 2026.
