Wagyu restaurants in Frisco, Texas

Frisco is the fourth Dallas-Fort Worth hub on this site, alongside Dallas, Fort Worth and Plano, and its three verified rooms cover three different registers. Six of its restaurants publish here and three clear the full sourcing standard.

The first is a steakhouse with a Japanese side that holds a licence on the official Kobe Beef Association registry and had Kobe on the menu we verified, so it carries the Certified Kobe badge, and it serves on hot stone. Hot stone is a good way to serve beef this marbled, because the diner controls the cooking, and with Wagyu a few seconds too long renders the fat out of the meat and wastes the thing you paid for.

The second is a conventional steakhouse selling by the ounce with four cuts named, including karubi. Karubi is short rib, cut thin for grilling, and it almost never appears on an American steakhouse menu because it belongs to the yakiniku tradition rather than the steakhouse one. Seeing it beside ribeye and tenderloin means a kitchen thinking about the whole animal.

The third is a Japanese room below the top price tier running an omakase at a chef's counter, which is the cheapest documented Wagyu in the city. The three remaining published venues advertise Wagyu without documenting where it came from, and are listed separately below.
