Q Korean Steakhouse
Knoxville, TN · Korean BBQ
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
Q Korean Steakhouse is a grill at table Korean barbecue room at 8851 Town and Country Circle in west Knoxville. Its A La Carte BBQ list opens with a Premium Cuts group whose first item is Japanese Wagyu A5, offered in ribeye and sirloin at market price. The 239.99 dollar Premium Combo D is built around Japanese Wagyu sirloin and Japanese Wagyu ribeye cap. The cheaper unlimited dinner packages carry no Wagyu. The menu names Japan and the A5 grade but no prefecture, brand or farm. Open seven days, from 3pm on weekdays.
Authenticity flags
- The Japanese Wagyu A5 is sold at market price and the menu names the country and the grade but no prefecture, brand or farm, so it does not tell you which region or producer the beef comes from. The Wagyu inside the 239.99 dollar Premium Combo D is listed only as Japanese Wagyu sirloin and ribeye cap, with no grade at all. Ask what is in the case that day if a specific origin matters to you.
- The other two items in the Premium Cuts group, the tomahawk and the porterhouse, are dry aged steaks and are not described as Wagyu. Only the first line in that group is.

Common questions
- Does Q Korean Steakhouse serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 17, 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 Q Korean Steakhouse serve?
- Its menu discloses Japanese 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 Q Korean Steakhouse 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.
