" Yakiniku TORAJI offers a great selection of upscale options at a reasonable price. The ambiance was generally what you would expect from a high-end Japanese restaurant. I typically love grilling my own meat, but the service here did seem a bit overwhelmed during peak times. If you have patience for the wait, the food is certainly worth it, especially the specialty cuts. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing mixed reviews, I decided to try Yakiniku TORAJI and ultimately left satisfied. The meat quality is indeed great, especially the filet! The waitstaff seemed stretched thin, which contributed to a long wait time, but once our food started arriving, it was definitely worth it. We ended the meal with mochi ice, which was surprisingly delightful. Overall, a solid experience despite areas for improvement in service. " (*Curated Review*)

" The second I stepped into Yakiniku TORAJI, I felt tranquility wash over me with its beautiful decor and warm lighting. My friends and I opted for a variety of a la carte items and went all out with the wagyu platter. Each cut melted in our mouths, and the service we received was incredible! However, there was a miscommunication about our dessert order which took a little longer to get right, but overall, what a memorable evening! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was delightful, but I felt the service could use improvement. Everything we tried was delicious, particularly the assorted beef options. The ambiance added to the experience with a clean and cozy environment. I would say it's a bit pricey, but the food quality is very high. I left feeling satisfied, but with a desire for better service on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Yakiniku TORAJI was fantastic! From the moment we sat down, the atmosphere felt upscale and authentic. We opted for a variety of a la carte dishes and were not disappointed. The beef tongue was a highlight for me - so tender and flavorful! The only drawback was the service; our server took too long to check on us several times. Overall, a great dining experience that I would recommend to those craving excellent Japanese BBQ! " (*Curated Review*)

" The service at Yakiniku TORAJI was fantastic, with staff demonstrating great knowledge of the menu. Our server was polite and checked in on us just the right amount. The quality of the meat was superb; everything we ordered was cooked perfectly. However, we found the portions on the smaller side, especially comparing to other similar restaurants in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Yakiniku TORAJI was an experience I'll remember for a long time! The authentic menu transported me back to my travels in Japan. I enjoyed the variety offered and appreciated the seasonal elements highlighted in the dishes. The service, however, was a little scattered; we occasionally had to wait longer than expected to order. Still, I look forward to returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)
