The Art ofWagyu Elite
Bringing the authentic Japanese hibachi experience to your home with the finest A5 Wagyu beef and master chefs.
Our Story
Wagyu Elite was born from a simple yet powerful vision: to create extraordinary dining experiences that combine the theatrical artistry of hibachi with the unparalleled luxury of authentic Japanese Wagyu beef—all in the comfort of your own home.
Founded in 2018 by Chef Takashi Yamamoto and restaurateur Michael Chen, our journey began after they recognized a gap in the New York dining scene. While the city offered countless restaurant experiences, there was nothing that brought the interactive elegance of hibachi directly to discerning clients' homes with truly premium ingredients.
What started as a small operation with just two chefs has grown into New York's premier at-home dining experience, serving celebrities, executives, and food enthusiasts throughout the city and surrounding areas.
Our Philosophy
At Wagyu Elite, we believe that extraordinary dining experiences should not be confined to restaurants. Every element of our service is designed with precision, artistry, and respect for the traditions that inspire us.
Excellence
We source only the finest A5 Wagyu beef and premium ingredients, prepared by chefs with years of specialized training.
Artistry
We blend traditional Japanese techniques with modern culinary innovation to create a dining experience that engages all the senses.
Personalization
We believe every dining experience should be tailored to our clients' preferences, creating memories that last a lifetime.
The Wagyu Difference
Wagyu beef is renowned worldwide for its exceptional marbling, tenderness, and flavor profile. At Wagyu Elite, we exclusively source authentic Japanese A5 Wagyu—the highest grade available—from the most prestigious regions of Japan.
What sets our Wagyu apart is not just its quality, but how we prepare it. Our chefs are trained in the precise techniques required to highlight the unique characteristics of each cut, ensuring the perfect temperature and preparation method.
The result is an unparalleled tasting experience: beef that literally melts in your mouth, releasing complex flavors that cannot be replicated with any other ingredient. It's the centerpiece of our hibachi experience—a luxury that transforms a meal into an extraordinary event.
