This cozy spot serves up indulgent Wagyu beef sandwiches and fresh sushi in a stylish and intimate setting, perfect for a high-end bite.
"There’s never been a better time to eat a 12-piece sushi omakase in your own home. And even if you’d prefer a la carte sushi or a wagyu beef sando with fries, you can make it all happen by ordering online from this Japanese spot in Gotham West Market." - Hannah Albertine, Nikko Duren, Bryan Kim, Arden Shore, Matt Tervooren
"Don Wagyu, purveyor of the $180 wagyu sandwich that generated a frenzy of can-you-believe-this headlines in 2018, is back. Restaurant group Uchū Hospitality found a new home for the concept in a shared space alongside a fifth location of Uchū’s affordable, well-liked Sushi on Jones chain, at Gotham West Market, one of the fancier food halls in the city, located in Hell’s Kitchen. Both concepts share a 10-seat stall at Gotham West and somewhat of a joint menu. Customers can make a reservation for a swift 7-course ($35) or 12-course ($58) omakase, same as at any other Sushi on Jones location, and have the option of ordering off the Don Wagyu menu during the meal. However, those looking to just order Don Wagyu will only have the option to order takeout at the stall. At the new location, the reworked Don Wagyu menu features everything from Wagnuggets to a wagyu dog, a hot wagyu sandwich, and a katsu sandwich option, which will rotate on a monthly basis and is listed at market price." - Erika Adams
"Feldman opened and closed this spot which debuted in 2018, known for its luxurious wagyu sandwiches priced at $180, and is set to reopen in Gotham West Market." - Maya Rajamani
"But Feldman’s FiDi wagyu sandwich restaurant Don Wagyu will close on August 16 and relocate to the Bowery Market food hall. It had opened to much hype, which quickly turned into derision. The new location will also offer brunch and delivery." - Stefanie Tuder
"Don Wagyu, located in FiDi, is known for its $180 wagyu katsu sando which has become a sensation among the finance crowd. New Yorker critic Hannah Goldfield recommends the $22 off-menu burger instead, which is made from scraps of meat from the sandwiches on the menu." - Stefanie Tuder
