Looking for a striploin steak in Da Nang? Striploin is a useful choice for diners who want a steak with a balance of lean meat and fat rather than the very lean profile of tenderloin.
At Red Sky Steakhouse, the current menu includes two distinct striploin options: Japanese Kagoshima A5 Striploin and Australian Wagyu Striploin MB 7/8. They differ in origin, marbling level, portion size and price, giving diners several ways to choose based on their preferred richness and budget.
This guide explains what striploin is, compares the available options at Red Sky, covers steak doneness, side dishes and sauces, and provides current pricing and reservation information.
Price and menu information checked: October 5, 2026. Menu items and prices can change, so we recommend confirming the details with Red Sky before visiting.
What Is Beef Striploin?
Striploin comes from the loin section of the beef carcass, in the short loin area near the tenderloin. It is a distinct cut from tenderloin, even though both come from the loin. USDA and industry references also use names such as strip steak and New York strip steak for related strip-loin steaks.
The cut generally offers a balance between lean meat and a visible fat edge or marbling. The amount of marbling can vary considerably depending on the breed, feeding system and grade of the beef.
For diners, this means striploin can sit between two familiar steak styles:
- Tenderloin: very lean and known for its tenderness.
- Ribeye: generally more heavily marbled and richer.
- Striploin: a middle-ground option with a firmer beef texture and noticeable fat.
Striploin is also well suited to dry-heat cooking methods such as grilling.
Striploin vs. New York Strip vs. Sirloin
The terminology around beef cuts can vary between countries and markets.
New York Strip is a commonly used name for strip steak. USDA references list New York Strip among the alternative names for strip steak.
However, sirloin should not automatically be treated as the same cut as striploin. Because naming conventions vary by market, it is better to use the exact name shown on the restaurant menu when ordering.
At Red Sky, the current menu specifically uses the term Striploin, so that is the clearest name to use when ordering.
Striploin Steak in Da Nang: Options at Red Sky
Red Sky currently lists two individual striploin choices on its menu. Red Sky Steakhouse food menu.
Japanese Kagoshima A5 Striploin
Japanese Kagoshima A5 Striploin — 300g: 2,400,000 VND
This option comes from Kagoshima in Japan and is listed at the A5 grade. The 300g portion makes it a substantial individual steak or a dish that can be shared depending on the rest of the meal.
This is the option to consider if you are specifically looking for a Japanese A5 striploin in Da Nang.
The A5 designation also indicates a different grading system from Australian MB scores, so the two should not be directly converted into one another.
A good fit for:
- Diners specifically looking for Japanese beef
- Guests interested in A5-grade beef
- A special dinner where the beef origin is an important part of the choice
Australian Wagyu Striploin MB 7/8
Red Sky currently lists its Australian Wagyu Striploin MB 7/8 in three sizes:
| Weight | Current price |
|---|---|
| 300g | 1,750,000 VND |
| 400g | 2,250,000 VND |
| 500g | 2,750,000 VND |
The MB 7/8 designation refers to a marbling score used for Australian Wagyu. More marbling generally means more intramuscular fat, although the eating experience still depends on the specific cut, preparation and doneness.
The three portion sizes make this option useful for different appetites. A 300g portion may be enough for one diner looking for a substantial steak, while 400g or 500g can work better for sharing or for guests who want a larger portion.
A good fit for:
- Diners who prefer Australian Wagyu
- Guests looking for a highly marbled striploin
- People who want to choose between several portion sizes
Red Sky Chef’s Special Selection
If you do not want to choose just one cut, Red Sky also lists a Chef’s Special Selection for 2–3 people.
One current combination includes:
- Black Angus Fillet MB3 — 200g
- Wagyu Rib Eye MB6/7 — 250g
- Japanese Striploin A5 — 300g
The listed price for this combination is 4,350,000 VND. Another combination includes Wagyu Tenderloin MB5, Wagyu Striploin MB7/8 and Black Angus Fillet MB3 at 3,850,000 VND.
This can be a practical option if two or three diners want to compare different cuts instead of ordering several individual steaks.
How to Choose Your Steak Doneness
Red Sky confirms that guests can choose their steak from rare to well-done. For premium Wagyu cuts, the restaurant’s FAQ recommends medium-rare as a way to showcase the cut.
If you are not familiar with steak doneness, read our guide to cooking classic Sirloin Steak for a practical overview of medium-rare, medium and well-done steak.
A simple guide:
| Doneness | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Rare | Red center with a lightly cooked exterior |
| Medium Rare | Warm, red-pink center |
| Medium | More evenly cooked center with less pink |
| Medium Well | Mostly cooked through with only a small amount of pink |
| Well Done | Fully cooked through |
Which doneness should you choose?
For a highly marbled striploin such as the Australian Wagyu MB 7/8 or Japanese A5, medium-rare is a reasonable starting point if you enjoy a softer, more marbled steak.
If you prefer a steak that is more thoroughly cooked, choose medium or medium well.
There is no single correct answer. The best doneness is the one that matches your preference.
If you have specific food-safety requirements or dietary restrictions, discuss them with the restaurant before ordering.
Sauces and Side Dishes for Striploin
Each steak at Red Sky currently comes with one side dish and one sauce. Additional sides and sauces can be purchased for 70,000 VND.
Side dishes
The current menu lists options including:
- Steamed or grilled vegetables

- Potatoes gratin
- Mashed potatoes
- Potatoes rosti
- Garlic and rosemary potatoes
- French fries
- Fried onion rings
- Sautéed green beans
- Sautéed mushrooms

For a more balanced plate, vegetables or salad can be paired with the steak. If you prefer a more traditional steakhouse-style combination, potatoes are another straightforward choice.

Red Sky’s current menu lists several sauces, including:
- Green Pepper Sauce
- Creamy Mushroom Sauce
- Herb Butter
- Dijon Mustard
- Pommery Mustard

Halal Information at Red Sky
Red Sky’s current website displays a Halal certificate section and states that its animal slaughter certification follows Islamic standards. The restaurant also states that it works with Halal-certified suppliers.
However, Halal certification can have a specific scope, issuing organization and validity period. The current website information does not provide enough detail for us to independently state the certifying organization’s name, certificate number or expiry date.
For guests who require strict Halal compliance, we recommend contacting Red Sky directly before ordering and asking which current Striploin option and preparation are covered by the applicable certification.
This is especially important if you have specific requirements regarding ingredients, preparation or cross-contact.
