Don Wagyu - New York

Luxury lunching gets a boost in Manhattan's Financial District with the arrival of Don Wagyu, which serves $28, $80 and $180 wagyu sandwiches accompanied by a side of salt-and-nori skinny fries and housemade pickles.

Opened by restaurateur Derek Feldman and chef Samuel Clonts (both of Bar Uchū fame), Don Wagyu is Manhattan's first restaurant to serve these katsu "sandos," or Japanese sandwiches made with fried wagyu beef. They're aiming to make only 200 a day.

The sandos are priced as such because of the quality of meat, ranging from "Washugyu," a cross between Black Angus and Tajima wagyu, to "A5 Ozaki," which hails from a Japanese family farm. The beef is aged in-house in a custom-designed aging room the same size as the dining room, which includes only six stools.

Got the Wagyu Sandwich, I would have expected to pay around 25 dollars for the quality of the food I got. Instead it was over 50. Dry meat between white bread.

I decided to try the Wagyu Uni Nigiri and it was an underwhelming experience. Definitely a good piece of meat and a beautiful uni. The combo of these two makes them somehow lose what makes each of the unique and delicious. The server was nice and helpful however so I'd give them that!

I was there for the wagyu actually and must say, was also dispointed, but the Highlight is: One piece of sushi for 30 dollors, has truely widened my horizontal... of shamelessness. Not recomiendes.

Unfortunately my first and last time here Wagyu was not even closed to be the way they prepared to me. Bad experience that’s all I can say no words to describe this experience.

They were out of the A5 sandwich, so I settled for the American Waygu and that was a horrible mistake. Very tough, tasted like a cheap cut of meat from your local grocery store. If you run into this situation just wait until the better option is back in stock.

The sushi was “eh” for the price we paid. If the flavors stood out, I’d give it 5 stars, but I couldn’t give it that with how it tasted.

Got the “highly rated” wagyu sandwich this afternoon and was extremely let down by it. Aside from a long wait time when we were the only people in the restaurant, after finally receiving our food we bit into the toughest cut of wagyu I’ve ever had. The pieces refused to separate from biting and I ended up pulling and entire square out of the soggy bread. I would never think such terrible quality food could be served at the price Don Wagyu charges… it’s very upsetting to say this restaurant does not live up to their past reviews.

Ordered sushi from here ikura nigiri and crispy rice cakes … worst thing I’ve ever eaten. You’ll be nauseous for the rest of the day

The Japanese A5 Wagyu sandwich I think here was a hit. Really good. It even came with fries. The fries were really good as well they put seaweed on them which I thought was a nice touch.

We ordered delivery on a Friday night for their wagyu sandwich and some sushi. The delivery took a bit longer to arrive because of the delivering app, however, the sandwich was still delicious after cold, even though I'd like to try it while it's still hot and crispy. The price is on the higher end but the meat was so tender and cooked beautifully, it melts in your mouth, it's definitely worth a try if you have the chance. The sushi was great, we're their last customer on Friday and the quality of their fish was still great!

Ordered pickup during COVID. Food was ready the exact time we scheduled to pickup. Everything was through texting, total contactless. Sushi was fresh and delicious. The American wagyu sando was super buttery and yummy. Lobster Wasabi roll is EXACTLY what it tastes like. You get huge chunks of lobster and those delicious hints of wasabi to give it a little kick. Nori fries were yummy but cold quickly after we poured it out. Our favorite of this meal was the chicken katsu. It was juicy and delicious. Highly recommended. Can't wait to order again soon!
