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
A downtown speakeasy style room that opened in April 2026, a collaboration between Chef Soy of Mint Tapas and Sushi and Carmine Delli Bovi of Carmine's Italian Cuisine, splitting its card between Japanese tapas and Italian plates. Three Wagyu dishes sit on the dinner menu, all on the Japanese side: a 26 dollar Beef Tataki and a 20 dollar Wagyu Tartare, both listed as A5 Japanese wagyu, and a 32 dollar Wagyu Steak listed as Australian. No prefecture, brand, farm or marbling score is given for any of them, and the restaurant publishes no menu on its own website.
Authenticity flags
- The two Japanese dishes are listed only as A5 wagyu, with no prefecture, brand or farm named, and the 32 dollar Wagyu Steak is Australian rather than Japanese. Some third party menu listings print that steak as A5 Japanese wagyu; the restaurant's own listings and its delivery storefront both call it Australian.
- The restaurant publishes no menu on its own website, so the dishes and prices shown here come from its listings elsewhere and may not match the card in the dining room. Check when you arrive.

yelp.com “The restaurant's own storefront for 152 E 200 S, Salt Lake City UT 84111 lists "Wagyu Steak", described as "Australian Wagyu served with rice, vegetables, teriyaki sauce, and a house salad." Nothing in the storefront's item text describes any beef as A5 or as Japanese.”
doordash.com “The page the restaurant calls its Online Menu carries only the headings "Our Menu" and "Refined asian tapas. Crafted cocktails." plus a single dish, "Lollipop Lamb Chops". There is no item list, no prices and no mention of Wagyu.”

Common questions
- Does Gossip Kitchen serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 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 Gossip Kitchen serve?
- Its menu discloses Australian 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 Gossip Kitchen 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.
