Flavor doesn't match the relatively high price and fancy sounding menu. Hot temperature inside. A ton of vegetables and rice... relative to the meat. Dessert taste good though. Empty place so don't need to worry about getting seat here. Read more
RESTAURANT WEEK REVIEW TLDR -> Not worth the $60 per person at all unfortunately. Extremely small portions and the dishes that... were served were not a good representation of what the restaurant regularly serves. As seen in the pictures these portions aretiny. They're just not justifiable to charge $60 for something like this. The first course which was a cup of salad and ateaspoon of meat was when I knew this wasn't going to end well. The appetizer was 1 cherry tomato, 2 baby shrimp, and 2 dried"wagyu". Again, portion is just not it and the sauce that came on top tasted like a supermarket bought dressing. The main dishwhich is the beef bowl tasted like something I could buy for $8 anywhere in the city. No special taste to it at all. And lastlydessert wasn't anything special at all. By that time we just wanted to pay and get out because of the subpar experience. It wasalso extremely hot the whole time!!! Practically no airflow at all! It just didn't feel like they tried to give you a taste oftheir usual and instead made up something that would make them a quick buck. Won't be coming back. Read more
My boyfriend and I went to @j.spec.wagyu.nyc for our valentine’s day dinner for this restaurant week but ended up getting... their full tasting menu. It was $129 for 6 courses. I think it was worth the value for the amount and quality of food but Iwould not get the tasting menu again because it’s too much food to eat at one time. Wagyu TKG - 8/10 This rice bowl was richand creamy but there were only 2 slices of wagyu and I was left craving for more. Wagyu Steak - 9/10 This was the BEST steakI’ve ever had. It was buttery, soft and literally melted in my mouth. The cut of the meat is A5 ribeye and they offered agenerous portion of wagyu. Honestly I could have had 3 less pieces because it was too buttery but I definitely enjoyed everybite. J-Spec TKG -7/10 J-Spec TKG consists of uni, ikura, caviar and a poached egg. This bowl was creamy but they didn’t givemuch uni or caviar so those flavors get lost in the eggy rice. Also I enjoy warm dishes so I preferred the Wagyu TKG. AppetizerTrio - 7/10 The fish that came in the appetizer honestly did not taste that fresh. The tuna was definitely the freshest fish butthe salmon and yellowtail was lacking. The mentaiko sauce was AMAZING and I found myself dipping the duck in the sauce to savorevery last drop. The duck was also cooked well but was kind of cold. Uni Special Dish - 7/10 This was kind of like a unihandroll and it was quite delicious. The uni tasted very fresh and I liked the mix of flavors. Tomato Sherbet - 8/10 This wasthe most surprising dish of the night because my boyfriend and I were not expecting to enjoy it. The sherbet was slightly sweetand similar to frozen grapes. If you like tomatoes I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Pumpkin Pudding & Peach PannaCotta (Not Pictured) - 6/10 I was pretty disappointed by the desserts. The peach panna cotta was too sweet and I didn’t enjoythe texture of the pumpkin pudding. Read more
If you’re into wagyu or Japanese high end cuisine this is an ideal experience in NYC. Simple yet elegant meal that was... surprisingly affordable considering the value. I HIGHLY recommend the wagyu flight if you’re coming here for the rightreasons. Also the course menu is perfect for a special date night. Couldn’t recommend more. Read more

Tried the $60 restaurant week menu. The quality is very poor. The roasted wagyu beef salad and the appetizer trio are just like... some refrigerated fast foods from a convenience store. They taste dry and cold. Too much sauce is used. The main dish A5 WagyuShabu Beef Bowl is okay, but it does not worth this price. The service is not good. The waitress wanted to rush up. She broughtthe next dish before I finished the previous one. Read more
