My date and I had dinner at Wagyu Butcher, and it was a wonderful experience for us both. We were seated almost immediately upon arrival, and the staff welcomed us with exceptional hospitality. Once we were seated, the atmosphere truly made me feel as if I were in Japan.
Both my date and I chose the Butcher’s Omakase course, the appetizers and every cut of meat was absolutely delicious. What really stood out to us was watching the staff cut the meats right in front of us, which made us truly appreciate the freshness and quality. We both upgraded the curry rice to the A5 wagyu sushi, which was incredible.
For drinks, we enjoyed plum wine, a Shochu Calpico cocktail, and Sapporo beer. To finish the meal, we ordered the green tea tiramisu, green tea pudding with honey, and the milk tea pudding all of which were delicious. The complimentary tea they provided to aid digestion was a very thoughtful touch.
The staff were all wonderful, and we even had a few conversations about Japan while dining. We will definitely be coming back soon.

Guided by the talent of Kenji Nakamura (中村健二) and Masahiro Fujita (藤田雅弘), both veterans from Tokyo’s legendary yakiniku houses and now part of the ever-growing Hana Dining Group, this new restaurant promises a truly distinct Japanese dining adventure. Overseeing the kitchen is Chef Haruki Sato (佐藤春樹), a master butcher and grill chef who runs his own izakaya and yakiniku bistro near Kyoto.
About the Chef: Born and raised in Ibaraki, Haruki Sato (佐藤春樹) spent his childhood learning home-cooking from his mother, a former kaiseki chef. Eager to master the art of grilling, he enrolled at the Hattori Nutrition College (服部栄養専門学校) in Tokyo and simultaneously trained at a bustling robata grill. Sato’s hands-on approach led him to work alongside famed pitmasters throughout Osaka before launching his own ventures. His passion lies in combining traditional butchery with inventive plating and attentive guest service.
A memorable twist on classic yakiniku and premium omakase—expect to walk out happy, full, and already plotting your next visit.

The team is warm and genuinely welcoming; Chef Sato himself sets the tone with friendly waves from the grill. Only hiccup was needing to flag staff for tea refills, but otherwise every interaction felt thoughtful and prompt.

Convenient lot within a retail plaza, plenty of spots open during dinner. No stress about finding space.

Wagyu Butcher Japanese BBQ is a must-try if you love A5 Wagyu or are just craving some amazing beef. You’ll have a great experience from start to finish. The staff there are super friendly and knowledgeable — they give great recommendations and really want you to enjoy your meal.
It’s more like a wagyu tasting experience. All the beef is super fresh, and they even slice it right in front of you. Each cut comes with a recommended sauce pairing that brings out the best flavors of the meat. Feel free to ask the staff to help grill the A5 Wagyu for you — they know exactly how to cook it to the perfect timing so you get the best texture and flavor.
I highly recommend going with the Butcher’s Omakase and adding the A5 Wagyu Sushi for an extra $10. It’s 100% worth it! You’ll get plenty of food and feel really satisfied after the meal.
Just a heads up: This place isn’t cheap and expect to spend around $100+ per person. Honestly, it’s worth every penny for the quality and the overall experience.
Quick tips: Strongly recommend making a reservation ahead of time. They do take walk-ins, but seating isn’t guaranteed and the wait can be long. Don’t skip the A5 Wagyu Sushi upgrade — it’s amazing and you’ll definitely thank me later!

We came here for our anniversary dinner and what an amazing dinner it was. From start to finish, everything was great. Definitely worth it, and make reservations.
Parking is easy in the lot. We made reservations for 7:30pm and the place is full. It’s small and cozy as part of the experience and only seats about 20-24 people per timeslot. Don’t get me wrong, you won’t feel cramped or anything in your seat and you get an up close and personal experience.
I opted for the $70 omakase plus $10 Wagyu sushi upgrade (do it!) plus the $30 sake pairing, choosing the beef tongue and inside skirt options. Wife chose the $70 with Wagyu strip and curry. It allowed us to try almost everything.
The sake pairing was great to try 5 different types of sake. Pours were generous and flavors of each sake come through from the fruity to dry ones. You get a nice spread.
We got a nice variety of appetizers from tofu, Kimchi spread (favorite was the cabbage), veggie spread (favorite was zucchini) and the Wagyu sashimi. The soup wasn’t just the simple miso soup, it was rich bone broth soup.
Meats were an excellent variety and well proportioned. All the different sections of the meats, they’ll be accompanied by a dipping sauce of some sort. They do season and sauce some of the meats as well, though I’d recommend asking for less salt/sauce in the preparation. They’re well accommodating to it.
As they tell you, cook each meat one at a time to your liking and take your time to enjoy the meals.
Personal favorites, they’ll beef tongue and a5. I love that sukiyaki butter that came with the A5 and each tongue piece was uniquely different.
Least, the sweet soy courses. While delicious, I felt like too much sauce overpowered the taste of the meat.
I highly recommend the Wagyu sushi upgrade, it was so worth it! The curry was a bit forgettable, very strong tomato taste, almost reminded me of a chili rather than curry.
Loved the pudding for dessert. Not too sweet and perfect finish to the meal.
At the end you can always order more of anything a la carte, but the omakase was plenty for us.
I enjoyed the experience so much, I would come not just for special occasions. Anytime you want to treat yourself, this place is worth a visit!

Went for lunch, we were almost the only people there despite them being booked out a month for dinner.
Absolutely delicious. Quality of the cuts is just out of this world. In a very unassuming strip mall.
Good for 2 people, would not work well for any larger groups

This is my second visit, even though the restaurant has only recently opened. The taste is exactly what you’d expect from a high-end Japanese establishment, without any Americanized touches. While the main offering is a course menu, you can place additional orders at any time during your meal. The cost-performance is relatively good, the restaurant is clean, and the staff are friendly. For me, it’s a perfect place!

Got the butcher course and it may have been the best meal I’ve had in a long time. Every plate of meat was delicious! Hubby and I couldn’t help but order another plate is beef tongue. This may be my new favorite restaurant.

Got the butcher’s omakase and the intestine was amazing, highly recommend over the skirt steak. The yuzu kosho paired well with the meats. Nice and intimate restaurant. The chairs were a bit uncomfortable, but for the sake of space, I understand opting for low back stools. Reservations only, but they do post on Instagram same day availability if a party cancels.

WOW WEE WOW WOW!!! Wagyu Butcher What a great birthday dinner at Wagyu Butcher in Torrance! With sushi bar seating and an elevated Japanese BBQ experience, everything—from the attentive service to the premium cuts of beef—was exceptional. Open since November, this spot offers generous sake pairings and heavenly meat, topped off by incredible Wagyu nigiri sushi. Highly recommended for a delightful two-hour experience. Winner, winner, Wagyu dinner!
