Why it's listed
Yakiniku Great is the first US outpost of a Japan-based yakiniku specialist, with a 14-seat counter and four tables on West 17th Street. The concept is Wagyu and nothing else: an omakase of rare lean cuts, either "The 6" at $130 or the signature eight-cut "The 8" (Kimura-Yaki) at $175, with a Uni-Chateaubriand supplement limited to ten servings daily. The kitchen states it serves only A5 Kuroge Wagyu with a BMS of 10–11, air-freighted from Japan. It cannot accommodate vegetarian diets or most allergies.

Common questions
- Does Yakiniku Great 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 Yakiniku Great serve?
- Its menu discloses Not disclosed (stated only as Kuroge Wagyu air-freighted from Japan) A5, BMS 10–11. 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 Yakiniku Great 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.
