Customer Reviews
Anjin has a rating of 4.5 out of 5 based on over 597 reviews on Google
Environment🌟🌟🌟🌟 Very clean and well-kept. I’d give it a 4.5. They open at 5pm — we arrived around 4:45 and there were already more than ten parties on the waitlist, so coming early definitely matters. Food🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 We ordered beef tongue, short rib, marinated short rib, pork cheek, and beef tartare. Overall, everything was very good. The strong point here is the balance of fat and lean meat, and the marinades were well-seasoned without being overpowering. Food-wise, I’d give it a solid 5 — really good Japanese yakiniku. Service🌟🌟🌟🌟 Service felt a bit overwhelmed. One cut of meat was served incorrectly, and it took quite a while to get the grill changed because the servers were very busy. Conclusion 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Great food and definitely worth coming back. That said, if the wait is close to an hour, I might feel a bit lazy about lining up again.
One of the best places to eat n cook your own food! Loved the all the meats they have! Especially the Kobe and the wagyu meat! Fire 🔥🤌 Chef's choice!
There’s a nice Asian restaurant with good-quality food, and you get to barbecue your own meal, which is really fun. The place is a bit small, but it’s nice overall. Their rice was also very delicious.
I rarely give a negative review, but this place takes the cake. The food quality was nothing to write home about, mid at best. All the service they did was bring the food out, the rest of the cooking is up to us. The other places I’ve been, the servers cook for us. So overpriced for the amount of meat they give you. Even all of that, I still tipped them. As we leaving the establishment, the "manager" chased us and asking why we tip like 2% of the bill. So you stopped us at the door just to ask why you tip so little? What kind of the service is that? Tip is optional, not mandatory. The atmosphere turned grim because of that. I gave a little extra so they can shut up and let us go. We’re not coming back to this place and I suggest you to do the same. Imagine you pay so much for the subpar quality of meats and they have the audacity to say why you tip so little. Actual brain dead customer service. I’ll make sure that everyone I know will not ever come to this place.
This Asian bbq place is one of worst! The seat is not comfortable. The flame on the table is not easy to control. The waiters and waitresses seemed to rush customers to get out. Because they want more customers who are waiting outside to fill the spots. They handed the bill, we haven’t even had a chance to order dessert yet! That made us feel very uncomfortable. The food was not good either. They are not fresh and the portion size is small for the price they charged! I will not return nor will I recommend anyone. 👎👎
If you want to catch a spot here before 9PM, come before opening at like 4PM to put your name down in their lil 📓 waitlist. The meat was exquisite - their cuts of beef were solid. Some better than others for sure. My personal favorites are number 1. Prime Boneless Short Rib and 3. Salted tongue. Cook number 1 to medium rare so that its still soft and not too chewy - try not to get it charred unless u like rubber. For number 3, I like to make this crispier actually because the slices are thinner. The other cuts were marinated well, but I personally don’t like their texture or flavor as much. Service was quick and the servers were friendly. The meats came out within <3 minutes of ordering them and servers would come and swap grills after you finish grilling 2-3 meat dishes. Water was refilled regularly. Tried the pineapple sherbet and it was a great way to end the night! The sherbet was super soft and easy to scoop. The pineapple flavor wasn’t super tart but was a subtle sweetness and I loved it.
We love this place. The meat is exceptional. You know it’s good when they don’t have to drown it in sauces. Wonderful servers. Good choices of Sake and beer. Open late. Easy parking. Super good meal.
