Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Manhattan Cut unique?
Our Wagyu Manhattan Cut features a signature coffee-cocoa rub that's exclusive to Blu' Steakhouse. This bold seasoning adds earthy depth and subtle sweetness that complements the rich umami of A5 Wagyu.
Which Wagyu cut is best for a first visit?
If it's your first time trying Wagyu, the Filet Mignon offers a classic, approachable experience. If you're a Wagyu veteran looking for something new, the Manhattan Cut's unique preparation is a must-try.
Can I order the Manhattan Cut without the coffee-cocoa rub?
The coffee-cocoa rub is an integral part of the Manhattan Cut's identity. For an unseasoned Wagyu strip experience, we recommend the Wagyu Ribcap, which is prepared with minimal seasoning.
