As eateries go in the Pacific Beach area, this is a rare find. Before you go, you need to understand what "wagyu" is google it. By far the best burger I have ever eaten in my entire life, and believe me I am a burger queen. They have capture an unique way of preparing the meat, combining spices, sauces and ultimately serving you the perfect burger. Yes, it's a bit pricey but worth the experience. The potatoes seasoned and fried to what I call perfection. Cucumber salad and onion rings crisp and toasty. If there was a Michelin star awarded for best burger this would be the one to start it. Great atmosphere, service 5 star, music spot on. Enjoy!

I decided to finally try this place, a bit on a whim. We got smash burgers and the cucumber salad. Service was excellent and very attentive. We thought the burgers were delicious, and the salad was good too. Definitely wanting to come back here to try more things!

Friday night and hungry for something different so we went to Swagyu as we’ve been told the burgers are the best … We included sides of mushroom and broccoli and fries. Wow. The meat with perfectly prepared so the flavors really came out. The sides were fantastic I did not want to stir the raw egg in the mushrooms. Wasn’t crazy about that idea. Regardless. Highly recommended. Great atmosphere and service was friendly and courteous. A great experience 4.5

The beef patty is just another level!!! Thin wagyu steak beef Pattie’s cooked to perfection and served in the softest, warmed, buttered buns with their secret sauce! You can choose from 1/4, 8oz or 1/2 lb burger. Order the crispy fries and a side of Serrano with it. Also tried the delicious and fresh cucumber salad. The location is decorated with plants and had a peaceful ambiance. Our server was attentive and quick, can’t wait to be back

Some of the best food I've eaten in San Diego or anywhere else in the country. Everything we ate was amazing and the restaurant itself is relaxing and casual. The burger is fantastic and properly smashed, giving the burger a lot of juice while also having crispy edges. The ribeye, both American and Australian, were amazing, seasoned and cooked to perfection!! And the potatoes were shockingly crispy while have having a soft interior. Easily the best fried potato side dish I've ever had, bar none! Cannot recommend this place enough and looking forward to the next time I'm able to swing by!!

I’ve been hearing a lot about this place lately. I follow them on Instagram and find their posts extremely entertaining. The food always looks so amazing I had to come in and try it. I was not disappointed today. The burger was one of the best I’ve ever had. Simple yet extremely flavorful. The bun was unbelievably fresh and soft. The nitro potatoes were next level. Super crispy on the outside and soft and perfect on the inside. The entire experience was phenomenal and the people inside the store were so helpful and friendly. I even bought some foie gras and a wagu steak to take home being that it’s my birthday. Thanks so much guys I’ll be back.

Hubby and I stopped here once we flew in from Texas. We ordered their famous burger and nitro potatoes. Everything tasted delicious, very flavorful. You can tell the burgers were made with high quality beef. I’m taking off 2 stars for the price. 18 bucks for a burger with cheese and pickles was too much. We still had to order the potatoes and sodas separately (in the small bottles so no refills). Our tab was around 60 bucks which is absolutely absurd. They claim one order of potatoes were enough to feed 2 people, we made it work...

We had an amazing time at Wagyu study hall. It is so cool that Swagyu has this kind of great dinner ideas. It’s a wonderful way to enjoy different types of Wagyus. From different fusions to pure steaks, from angus Tajima F1 to Australian Jack’s Creek to Miyazaki A5 to Kobe, you can taste everything about Wagyu in these 12 courses 3 hours meal! I really enjoyed the whole experience, all the foods are great, my favorites are beef tartare, tortellini, Miyazaki A5 and Kobe. The service here is wonderful, thanks to our server Denis and Brendan, both of them are friendly and helpful. Thanks Swagyu for the awesome anniversary dinner!
