Why it's listed
The Bellevue room of the Northwest's tuxedoed steakhouse legacy, open Tuesday to Saturday from 4pm with last seating at 9pm. Wagyu runs across three tiers of the menu: a cast iron-seared A5 Wagyu New York strip in 4oz and 8oz portions as the headline, a Wagyu short rib poutine with Beecher's curds on the happy hour list, and akaushi burgers on both the happy hour and kids menus made with beef from Davis Family Cattle Company. The A5 strip names no prefecture at this location.

Common questions
- Does El Gaucho - Bellevue serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 21, 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 El Gaucho - Bellevue serve?
- Its menu discloses unknown, Akaushi 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 El Gaucho - Bellevue 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.
