Tsuruhashi

Japanese Restaurant $$$ 4.6 (488)


Tsuruhashi stands out as a prime Japanese BBQ spot, celebrated for its high-quality meat and authentic flavors reminiscent of traditional yakiniku dining in Japan. Customers appreciate the rich taste and marbling of their Wagyu beef, often commenting on the vibrant atmosphere that mimics the vibe of Japan. However, portion sizes can be small relative to the prices, which some diners find steep for what is served.

" Wow! Just wow! I've never experienced flavors like this before. Each cut of meat was perfectly marbled and cooked right at our table. The yukke raw beef was surprisingly delicious and I don’t usually go for raw dishes. One issue was that the staff kept nudging us to order more when we hadn’t yet finished our current selections. It felt a bit impatient, but once I got past that, I really enjoyed my meal. Perfect for date nights! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try Tsuruhashi after hearing so many good things, and it did not disappoint! The meats are absolutely top-notch, especially the kalbi and skirt steak. The sides could've had more variety, and I was disappointed to see that extras were charged for dipping sauces and veggies. Despite that, the main attraction— the grilled meats— absolutely delivers. Such a unique experience cooking at your table too! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is fantastic! It’s definitely on the pricier side, but the flavors justify the cost. The kobe beef was exceptional, and I loved the dipping sauces provided. However, I felt that the portion sizes were too small, especially for the price. The atmosphere is lively, albeit a bit cramped. Next time I’ll come with a small group rather than a large party to avoid sitting at separate tables. Would come back for the quality of meat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tsuruhashi is a true gem! We arrived promptly at opening and were seated right away, which was a lucky move as the place filled up fast. The beef tongue and short ribs were the highlights of the meal. One star off for the somewhat high prices, but you're really paying for the quality. The staff was super attentive, and that really made the experience enjoyable. I highly recommend the yukke for an adventurous starter! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is always packed, so you know it has to be good! The wait time can deter you, but honestly, it's worth it. Have to give a shoutout to the kobe beef—definitely the star of the meal. Staff were nice but the pressure to finish quickly was a little much. Overall great quality food but remember to come hungry and perhaps order a little extra to make it worthwhile. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve always been a fan of Japanese BBQ, but Tsuruhashi takes it to the next level! The A5 wagyu is an experience all on its own; it literally melts in your mouth. The atmosphere is cozy and reminds me of my trips to Japan. My only downside was that I felt rushed towards the end of my meal, which can be a bit off-putting when you just want to savor each bite. Overall, an amazing experience! Definitely coming back soon. " (*Curated Review*)
