Had a great experience at Toraji. The quality of the meat is excellent — well-marbled, flavorful, and not overly greasy. Portions are just right and the pacing of the meal is smooth, with staff changing grills and serving courses promptly. The space feels more upscale than a typical yakiniku spot, and the ventilation is good so you don’t leave smelling like smoke. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality fully justifies it. A reliable choice when you want a proper Japanese BBQ meal.

Fantastic quality and unforgettable flavors! The wagyu was buttery, rich, and grilled perfectly over charcoal. Everything was fresh and beautifully presented. A bit pricier, but absolutely worth it for the quality. Will definitely come back!

This beef tongue was an absolute standout — beautifully marbled, tender, and full of flavor. Each slice was perfectly cut, giving that ideal balance of chew and melt-in-your-mouth texture once grilled. The presentation was elegant, served on a golden plate with a vibrant orchid and a wedge of lemon that added a refreshing brightness. The accompanying sauce had just the right amount of kick to complement the rich umami of the meat.

If you’re a fan of yakiniku or want to try something unique and luxurious, this beef tongue is a must-order. It’s as photogenic as it is delicious!

We had a great experience at Japanese BBQ Toraji. The service was attentive and friendly throughout our meal. We ordered a la carte and everything we tried was delicious.

We order everything with salt and not the sauce.
The kalbi was tender and flavorful definitely a highlight. The Toraji Salad was refreshing and had a nice balance of textures. We also got the signature Toraji Cut, which was rich and juicy, perfect for grilling tableside.

Overall, a solid spot for Japanese BBQ with high-quality meat and great service. We’ll definitely be back to try more!

I absolutely love this place! I booked it on a whim since it’s close to my job, and it turned out to be an incredible find. We grabbed seats at the bar, and the menu, while simple, offers a few course options alongside à la carte selections. Totally worth it! The A5 Wagyu was exceptional–so tender, with perfect marbling, it practically melted in my mouth. It was both filling and deeply satisfying. Overall, an outstanding experience, and I highly recommend giving this spot a try!

Listen, let’s start with the important stuff. The food. We did the premium course because my friends and I had two big occasions to celebrate so we wanted to go all out. The courses did NOT disappoint in the least. Everything we had was top quality, fresh, beautifully arranged.

The restaurant was also really cool. Very nice décor, cool tables where you take your shoes off and get an intimate corner for you and your group. It all felt like quite the experience.

Here’s the rub – the service was bad. One of my friends had to ask for water no less than 5 times. We were very rarely checked on. The waiter asked if we wanted to cook the meat or if we wanted him to. We asked if he could, and he walked away and never came back. That was a big disappointment.

Regardless, I would definitely come back. The food was incredible and service be damned.

Please read all!! Meat quality is great but I barely had any service. I had to ask for water refill and remind an order that was missing and cook my own food. Asked twice to change the grill that was burnt. No one came to ask if anything was okay. Finally, they do payment next to you and watch you tip. I gave around 12% tip because I wasn’t happy with the service but the server saw it AND TUNRED AROUND AND SAID THE TIP MINIMUM 15%. She then pushed the machine to my face asked to change the amount. Tipping is based on quality service. Don’t force your customers.

This Tokyo-based Japanese Yakiniku in the heart of Manhattan’s Chinatown is a must-try!

We indulged in their exceptional premium wagyu course. Omg…it’s an experience of the melt-in-your-mouth!

While their grill selections steal the spotlight, don’t overlook the rest of their delicious menu! From mouth watering appetizers, delightful fresh salads, enticing selection of sushi and sashimi, along with an array of rice and noodle dishes that cater to every taste. Service was top-notch! The whole dining experience was perfectly complemented by an ambiance that exuded luxury and elegance!
