" A bit pricey, but definitely some of the best BBQ I’ve had in a while! The staff were super attentive and the atmosphere was warm. The only reason I wouldn't give it 5 stars is that I expected larger portions for the price. Overall, worth a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Really enjoyed my time here! The staff were super friendly, and the charcoal grill really makes a difference in flavor. I tried the harami and was not disappointed. Portions could be larger, especially considering the prices, but the quality boosts the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking to indulge in top-notch Japanese BBQ, Tokyo Kalbi should be at the top of your list! The quality of the beef is unmatched, especially the premium cuts which are prepared to perfection. Their staff is incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and recommended some fantastic pairings with sake. The only downside was that it was quite busy when I went, making the ambiance a bit noisy for my taste. Overall, an excellent experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" For a casual dinner, Tokyo Kalbi provides an excellent dining option. The beef is high quality and cooked to perfection right at your table. My only complaint was that I could have used a few more side dishes with my order, which felt a bit minimal. The service staff were very attentive without being intrusive, which I appreciated. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really disappointed with my last visit. The service was lacking, and the food just didn't meet the expectations I had based on the reviews. The grill was poorly heated, and I felt my beef was undercooked. The price point is high, and for that kind of money, I expect more. I don't think I'll be back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tokyo Kalbi offers an extraordinary dining experience that takes you to the heart of Japanese BBQ. The charcoal grilling here truly brings out the flavors in the beef, especially the kalbi. If you're a meat lover, this is a must-visit place! The staff is friendly and the ambiance is inviting. Just be prepared to spend a bit more, but you will have a wonderful culinary adventure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard a lot about Tokyo Kalbi, and I must say, it lived up to the hype! This was by far the best Japanese BBQ I’ve experienced. Their Kobe beef was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the charcoal grill made everything taste even better. The service was impeccable, always making sure my glass was full and my needs were met. Although it was a bit pricey, I believe it was worth every penny. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)
