Customer Reviews
Anjin has a rating of 4.5 out of 5 based on over 586 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.
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.
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.
I recently dined at ANJIN, and it was truly a delightful experience! The Japanese barbecue they offer is simply delicious. Each dish is perfectly prepared, showcasing fresh ingredients and incredible flavors. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great place for both casual outings and special occasions. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our meal. If you’re looking for a unique dining experience with amazing food, I highly recommend ANJIN. I can’t wait to go back!
I’ve been coming here for almost two decades and it’s still just as good as the first time I had it. My must orders are No. 3 Salted Tongue No. 4 Marbled Prime Boneless Shortrib No. 5 Marble Prime Ribeye No. 13 Intestine No. 30 Beef Carpaccio Sausage and Salad are optional 😊 The restaurants gets real busy. Being there at the opening time most likely will not get you into the first round. My advise is to go there about an hour early and leave your name down. There’s a mitsuwa near by, so you could kill your time there.
