" Tsuruhashi is a lovely spot but came with a few hiccups. The grilled meats tasted amazing, but I expected slight improvements in dish variety. The staff was friendly, but the service pace was slower than anticipated. I still think it's a great place to revisit, and with time, it could become my favorite! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally visited Tsuruhashi after hearing so much about it. The warm welcome we received from the staff was notable, and the grilled meats were something else! The beef tongue was succulent and flavorful. However, I do think the prices are on the higher side for what you receive. Definitely a memorable dining experience, and I’d love to go back. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic yakiniku, Tsuruhashi is where you need to be! The quality of the meat is astonishing, and the grilling at the table is a great experience. My only complaint would be that the prices climb high quickly, especially when ordering sides. But this place truly delivers on flavors, which made it worthwhile. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a lovely time at Tsuruhashi celebrating my partner’s birthday! The staff went above and beyond, singing a birthday song and offering dessert! The beef was perfect, but the a la carte pricing meant we felt a bit shorted on the servings. Still, an excellent experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" After being to Japan multiple times, I can safely say Tsuruhashi provides a very authentic experience. The table-side grilling is a fun activity for family dining. The variety of meats is great, particularly the short ribs, but I found the serving sizes were lacking given the prices charged. I will likely return just for the excellent flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I celebrated my anniversary at Tsuruhashi, and I must say the food was exquisite! We ordered assorted cuts of meat, and everything was fresh and perfectly marbled. The intimate setting was perfect for our special evening. However, even with our hearty appetites, we still felt a bit hungry after all was said and done due to the small portion sizes. Overall, a wonderful experience I would recommend to anyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not only was the service attentive, but the food blew my mind! The freshness of all the ingredients was apparent and elevated the whole BBQ experience. The miso pork was particularly tasty, and I recommend trying everything on the menu. Portions can be small though, so keep that in mind while ordering! " (*Curated Review*)
