Does FIN Seafood 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 FIN Seafood serve?

Its menu discloses A5 Japanese, Snake River Farms and 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 FIN Seafood 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.

Why it's listed

Chef Kenny Sloane's seafood room at 3150 William Styron Square, open Tuesday to Saturday. Four of the five steaks on its Entrees Meats list are Wagyu: an A5 Japanese Wagyu 8 oz tenderloin at $160, a 16 oz ribeye and a 12 oz New York strip both credited to Snake River Farms at $100 and $80, and an 8 oz bistro steak at $50. A Wagyu New York Steak is a fixed course on the $85 five course and the seven course tasting menus. No prefecture, brand or breed generation is published anywhere on the site.

Authenticity flags

The $160 tenderloin is sold as A5 Japanese Wagyu, which tells you the country and the Japanese grade but not where in Japan the beef came from. No prefecture, brand or farm is named for it anywhere on the site, so there is no published way to trace which Japanese herd it comes from. Ask before ordering if the source matters to you.
The $100 ribeye and the $80 New York strip both credit Snake River Farms of Idaho by name, which is more than most kitchens disclose. That beef is American Wagyu, meaning Japanese cattle crossed with domestic breeds and raised in the United States rather than Japanese beef, and neither the menu nor the producer states how much Wagyu genetics the cattle carry.
The $50 Wagyu Bistro Steak and the Wagyu New York Steak course on both tasting menus name no country, grade or producer at all, so there is nothing to tell you whether they are the same beef as the two steaks that do name a source.
The Beast Burger is not the same sandwich at every service. On the lunch menu it is $24 and blends wild boar, bison, elk and Wagyu in equal parts, while the Thursday Burger Night version is $18 and swaps the Wagyu for Black Angus. Check which one you are ordering if the Wagyu is the point.
