Enjoy the Finest Japanese A5 Wagyu Beef in Downtown San Diego

Japanese Wagyu

Slide into our plush velvet banquettes, disappearing into times past (or have we been transported to the future?), escaping to a place devoid of worry, a place where the current day is held at bay. You’ve heard about it but never ordered it before. You decide to indulge. A plate arrives at the table.

A5 Wagyu. 

That sweet umami flavor you’re tasting is unique to Japanese Wagyu. Ranchers breed only the purest of cows, tracing their bloodlines back generations to ensure every cut achieves that same, melt-in-your-mouth level of marbling the beef is known for. That sear you’re admiring, that comes from our Robata coal-fired grill.

When we went about reimagining ANIMAE’s new culinary program, we knew we wanted this restaurant to be a destination for steak lovers and those with the most discerning palates, wagyu lovers, those who appreciate refinement.

Our program, in reality, isn’t anything groundbreaking or revolutionary. It’s steak. Done simply. Sourced from the best. Cooked using the best techniques, the best tools. Seared by those at the top of their game.

It’s the ultimate dining experience for those who seek the best of everything. The discerning crowd, the one that asks for the receipts. We’ve got the receipts.
