Wagyu from $22 on the menu we read
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 seasonal Fremont dining room on Stone Way North from the General Harvest group, with two Wagyu items on a short menu. The Proteins section lists Mishima Reserve American Wagyu at market price with seasonal accompaniments, beside a $48 duck. The Starters section opens with a $22 Wagyu tartare, dressed with shallot, champagne vinaigrette, pickled onion and crostini, though the tartare line itself names no source. There is also a four-course Chef's Choice tasting menu served family style.
Authenticity flags
- Its $22 Wagyu tartare is listed with no origin or producer, while the market-price main course names Mishima Reserve American Wagyu. Ask which beef goes into the tartare if that matters to you.

Common questions
- Does Haerfest serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 23, 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 Haerfest serve?
- Its menu discloses Mishima Reserve. 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 Haerfest 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.
