Wagyu from $24 on the menu we read

Menu claim only

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

Amada is chef Jose Garces' flagship Spanish tapas room in Old City, open since 2005 and serving small plates family style alongside paella, charcuteria and a suckling pig. Its a la plancha section lists Entrecot at 24, a Wagyu skirt steak finished with nora butter, guindilla aioli and chimichurri. The menu names no country of origin, grade or producer for that Wagyu, so where the beef comes from is not disclosed. The Creekstone Farms name printed in the same section belongs to a separate hanger steak, not to the Wagyu cut.

Common questions

Does Amada serve real Wagyu?
Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 23, 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 Amada serve?
Its menu discloses unknown. 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 Amada 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.
