This list tracks where Columbus diners can order Japanese A5 wagyu, and we built it from the dinner menus each restaurant posts online, read on October 30 and 31. We counted a pick when the menu names the A5 grade and, ideally, the prefecture or cattle line, with a printed price and portion. The ranking rewards that specificity: a menu that says Miyazaki or Kagoshima and prices the ounces outranks a vague wagyu line. Menus change faster than lists do, and A5 is often limited, so treat every price here as the posted number on those dates. We did not dine at, phone or taste at any of these rooms for this update.

2026 Winners·Winners announced Sep 24, 2026·Picks by Bart Rian
Eddie Merlot's posts no Japanese A5 on its current Polaris dinner menu, so read this slot as the wagyu fallback on the list. Its wagyu section runs Australian Rangers Valley beef, with an MS9+ filet at $79 for 6 ounces or $99 for 8 and a 16-ounce MS7/8+ ribeye at $99. American wagyu from Snake River Farms shows up as an 18-ounce bone-in strip for $79. The lounge runs a happy hour Monday through Thursday from 4 to 6:30 p.m. at 1570 Polaris Pkwy.
