" This place is fantastic! Anjin’s approach to grilling meats ensures a unique dining experience, and their intricate flavors always impress me. I was especially fond of the tender prime cuts. The staff was attentive and provided a seamless experience, probably due to how busy they seem to always be. Only warning is be mindful of how much you order! Portions can be surprisingly small. I’ll happily make another trip! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious meal at Anjin! The beef was perfectly marbled, and we truly enjoyed the dipping sauces provided. The atmosphere felt cozy, which made for a pleasant outing. The only downside I found was the price; portions were smaller than I anticipated. Overall, the quality of food more than made up for it, and I’ll definitely return to try more of their offerings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our time at Anjin was delightful! The quality of meats is evident, and we loved the grill-your-own approach. The atmosphere is intimate, ideal for small gatherings. The staff was extremely courteous and helped recommend great pairings for our meal. The only downside was the cost of dining, which can rise quickly even with a few plates. I definitely want to return, as I believe this is one of the better Japanese BBQ spots around! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an incredible dinner at Anjin last night! The standout items were definitely the grilled ribeye and beef tongue, which we paired with their delicious dipping sauces. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making for a pleasant dinner outing. However, be prepared to spend! Even though the quality is superb, it adds up quickly. But I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for the best in Japanese BBQ. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to a few Japanese BBQ spots, but Anjin tops them all. I loved the cozy setting and the quality of the meat they serve. The service was up to par, and they seemed to genuinely care about making our visit enjoyable. One thing I noted was that you need to keep an eye on your order as the portions were smaller than I expected for the price. But overall, definitely a place I’d visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time dining here and I was quite impressed! The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere—ideal for catching up with friends or a date night. We ordered the beef carpaccio and short rib, both excellent choices. The flavors were authentic and the presentation was beautiful. However, be prepared for price adjustments on the final bill, which threw me off a bit. I would definitely recommend this place to others, especially for the quality of the meat! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Anjin based on the online reviews, and luckily, it didn't disappoint! The quality of the meat was exceptional, especially the beef tongue, which was incredibly tender and flavorful. However, I felt the wait was a bit excessive, over an hour to get seated, and the prices are on the higher side, especially considering the portion sizes. Despite that, I would return for the quality of the food and overall fantastic dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)
