"Can’t remember the exact range he gave us but he said to cook it around 40 seconds on each side. Umm thank god I didn’t listen to him."
We are required by law to tell you to cook them well done... In fact, the CDC says exactly the same thing!!!

(Personally I have worked for and been to several restaurants that deny me rare and sometimes med-rare hamburgers! So ya.... ........ Applebee's WILL NOT GIVE YOU A RARE HAMBURGER!!! All their burgers are basically medium and above as are MOST CORPORATE RESTAURANTS!!!!)
You're talking about 15-20 degrees of separation of well-done to rare... Especially on a thin cut of Wagyu meat! That is an insane window... The ONLY way to perfect this is to experience Yakiniku enough to gain knowledge of your cut of meat and grill time. We explain and have printed onto table advertisements all the "recommended" cook times. Luckily, it seems your previous knowledge of grilling helped you create a perfect grilled piece of meat. Everyone isn't as smart as you. Which is why we print and display cook times.. The yakiniku experience is unique..
We sell pork belly (bacon) and beef belly.. All our servers explain to every table that cooking those pieces of meat directly over the center will cause flames to shoot up and singe your dinner meats. (Due to the fat content and drip!) We recommend that you cook those cuts of meat on the outside of the grill to prevent flare ups.. There are still people that don't listen to our warnings as they either want a nice singe to their meat or are ignorant to the science of grilling bacon and our recommendations... Either way it's eventually on you.. We are actively trying to improve customer experience by maybe taking pictures of meat(s) and presenting them at the table with a pictorial and with cook time and location of the cut.. (Think wine menu or specialty menu located on every table) I think completely educating consumers is the main priority, considering they're consuming some of the best beef in the world, Wagyu! I appreciate any and all comments or suggestions as that is EXACTLY who we are providing a service for..
I'm sorry if you think I'm arrogant..
I am not the owner nore do I have any power to change the menu or concept.. I am just a server.. So I am responding to you as a server..
