Wagyu Master Sukiyaki House | San Jose
San Jose
Wagyu Master is an intimate 35-seat Japanese restaurant in San Jose offering premium all-you-can-eat A4 and A5 Wagyu for sukiyaki and shabu-shabu, complete with table-side cooking. Posts frequently highlight luxury inclusions such as custom hand rolls featuring lobster, uni, and foie gras, alongside bottomless sides, desserts, and rich broths like miso tonkotsu.
While commenters are excited by the visual presentation and unique AYCE concept, sentiment is heavily divided over the steep $88–$125+ per-person price tag. Many question whether the quality justifies the cost compared to competitors like Mikiya, alongside scattered complaints about taste, side dishes, and a reported food poisoning incident linked to the sashimi.
