For many diners across North London, experiencing Japanese A5 wagyu traditionally meant travelling into Central London.

Since opening in December 2025, Skewd Asia in Cockfosters has introduced a destination where guests can enjoy several carefully prepared wagyu dishes within a single luxury pan-Asian dining experience in North London.
Today, visitors regularly travel from Southgate, Oakwood, Palmers Green, Whetstone, Barnet and Enfield Townwhen searching for a wagyu restaurant near them without needing to travel into Mayfair or the West End.
What Makes Japanese A5 Wagyu So Special
Japanese A5 wagyu is recognised as one of the highest quality grades of beef available anywhere in the world. Its fine marbling creates a texture and flavour that is very different from standard beef cuts and allows chefs to prepare it in several ways across different cooking styles.
At Skewd Asia, wagyu is not limited to one signature plate. Instead, it appears across multiple sections of the menu, allowing guests to experience it through robata grill cooking, wok dishes and sushi preparation within the same visit.
This approach has helped Skewd Asia quickly become recognised as a destination for Japanese A5 wagyu in North London.
