Went here twice during my time in California from Dec ’21 to Jan ’22, first with my mom’s Russian friend living in LA and my younger brother and then on my own. Tokyo Kalbi is special for Japanese BBQ in LA in the sense that it is one of the few Japanese BBQ joints in LA that uses charcoal instead of gas or electric grills, which really helps to enhance the flavors of the meat.

The Premium Kobe beef tongue and short ribs were especially outstanding, though I would recommend ordering them beforehand, including for thickly-cut beef tongue. It’s also best to reserve your table beforehand as well. If I were given the choice to come to this joint the next time I’m in California, I would gladly do so!

Would highly recommend this joint if you want proper Japanese food in LA!

Good Korean barbecue. I am a regular customer here, and they have been increasing prices. When you sit down, a moist towel is waiting for you. The Kim-Chee used to be free, now it is $6. Nonetheless, it is still very tasty. The premium Kalbi is very flavorful. The binbin bap is also amazing.

On our way from UCLA to Santa Monica, did a quick Google search, trying to avoid the solid but predictable Santa Monica places, and found Tokyo Kalbi. So glad we did! No reservations online but we called ahead and they had room, seating us in a comfortable booth just outside the small kitchen. Located in a typical LA strip mall, it’s not much from the outside but the food is quite superior! Took a chance and so glad we did! For the grill, we had a few of the meat selections, plus the seafood and mixed veggie. Small but appropriate portions and good quality. The charcoal grill let off minimal smoke and no noisy hood above. We even ordered extra corn, which most of don’t love, but it was so good with the tasty sauces. Appetizers were all hits: shishito garlic, beef tartare with egg, and a soft eggplant dish. Every single dish was delicious and crave-able. The green tea soba noodle was yet another highlight, so we ordered it twice. I’ve been to Japan numerous times and this soba was on par with my favorite soba shop in Kamakura. Our family is also a lover of kimchi – my husband lived in Korea for 2 years and we eat it regularly at home, and this was some of the best. We were all so happy we just kept ordering more dishes. With lots of re-ordering and 2 pitchers of beer (and dessert), our family of 4 spent about $350, so it’s not cheap, but you get what you pay for. The staff was helpful and attentive and comped my husband a dessert for Father’s Day. We also ordered the pineapple sorbet which was tasty (nothing exceptional) and placed in a small frozen pineapple which was a whimsical touch. Wish we lived closer so we could be regulars. I’m glad this place exists.

Great food, good service.
The kimchi is flavorful, and the meat is tender. The option to cook it yourself is good.

The prices have increased over the past few years, and things like bean sprouts no longer come for free.

Food is good but beware that the portions are very small compared to other places. The server said each order of meat is about 70 to 80 grams (2.5 ounces). So be prepared to need to order 4 meat orders per person if you’re hungry.

The quality of the meat and food overall were superb. Great service and was very accommodating to our large group which had a toddler. Felt welcome from the get go. Would recommend.

Came as a group of 4 people at 6pm on a Thursday and was greeted with a very nice atmosphere! It was nice and quiet, and the service was really good. The mix A meats were decadent, but the mixed seafood platter was a letdown :/ The 3 pieces of shrimp on the platter weren’t properly cleaned and still had the intestines, and the $5 order of corn didn’t even seem like an entire cob. All in all, good service but the food is ridiculously overpriced. Left with my wallet as empty as my stomach 🙁
