Anjin

Amazing experience and delicious food for a special occasion!I arrived around 4:30 PM, just before opening to put my name on the list and they estimated a 3-hour wait. I returned home, and at 6:30 PM, I got the call that our table was ready. The staff was incredibly accommodating and kindly held the table for us until we arrived.My boyfriend and I ordered four types of meat, which was more than enough alongside the appetizers. Our favorites were the salted tongue, prime skirt, and pork cheek. I highly recommend getting the kimchi and spicy cold noodles because they pair so well by cutting through the richness of the meat. We also tried the crispy stone pot rice, which was good, but we were too full to finish it.The staff was attentive and friendly, making the experience even better. It wasn't overly loud or overstimulating, which made for a comfortable dining experience.

If you want to catch a spot here before 9PM, come before opening at like 4PM to put your name down in their lil waitlist. The meat was exquisite - their cuts of beef were solid. Some better than others for sure. My personal favorites are number 1. Prime Boneless Short Rib and 3. Salted tongue. Cook number 1 to medium rare so that its still soft and not too chewy - try not to get it charred unless u like rubber. For number 3, I like to make this crispier actually because the slices are thinner. The other cuts were marinated well, but I personally don't like their texture or flavor as much. Service was quick and the servers were friendly. The meats came out within 3 minutes of ordering them and servers would come and swap grills after you finish grilling 2-3 meat dishes. Water was refilled regularly. Tried the pineapple sherbet and it was a great way to end the night! The sherbet was super soft and easy to scoop. The pineapple flavor wasn't super tart but was a subtle sweetness and I loved it.

Been coming here for years and their price has significantly increased in just a few months alone.Pros: Harami is always a must, even by itself with no side sauces is super delicious. - Staff is attentive.- Sanchu is nice and fresh and helps make it feel healthier.- Kimchi is sweet for my Korean tongue, but it's Japanese style which my husband loves.- Meat is the gukbap is flavorful and a good portion between two people.Cons:- Price is more expensive compared to their cash only price.- They don't have the negi gyutan anymore!- The soup of the gukbap was pretty weak, definitely trying to cut back on some areas.

Went around 12:11 am for date night, still a good amount of people enjoying drinks & bbq. There was no wait time than usual in the evening. Service did not feel rushed and very kind as always. Good to go at this time if you're out with friends or want to get a drink with your date, meat has always been high quality. Tried the pork cheek, but forgot to get a picture.. It was really good and chewy.

Always a great spot for quality meats! It's a pretty popular spot so essentially you need to show up like 15-30mins before to put your name down on the list to get in on the first seating. Yes, the portions are not the healthiest but it's the quality you're coming to Anjin for. For me I'm okay going ayce instead for a comparative price but my wife LOVES this place and of course it's not as big of an eater. Parking can get tough later but they do have that communal valet option.

My husband made a reservation right when they opened at 5pm (in person) and they were able to hold the reservation for us while he went to pick me up from my appointment about 7 minutes away. They called him repeatedly to ensure he was going to come back, and thankfully they were gracious enough to keep our table for us, especially because it was super busy on a Friday night.Menus are all provided via QR Code, though we ordered with the waitress. Since everything was ala carte and on the pricier side, including the bowls of rice, we only ordered one appetizer (the Cucumber Kimchi), two servings of meat (the Prime Boneless Short Rib & Rib Eye), the Vegetable Soup, and two bowls of rice. The portion of the rice bowl was on the bigger side, so at least the price we paid justified the portion we received. Now onto the things we tried:1) Cucumber Kimchi - The presentation was great, as expected of a Japanese restaurant. Everything tasted fresh and crisp, and was a great starter to our meal. 5 out of 5.2) Vegetable Soup - It is definitely a one-person portion, though I shared with my husband to save money. It was warm and savory, full of seaweed and small cut vegetables. For the price, I wish it was a bigger portion. 4 out of 5.3) Prime Boneless Short Rib - Like typical Japanese Yakiniku, this came unseasoned. We cooked each peace to about medium-well and dipped into the sauce before consuming with rice. It was just... okay. We have had better Short Rib elsewhere. 3 out of 5.4) Rib Eye - This was tastier than the Short Rib (both my husband and I agreed). We cooked each piece to about medium-well and dipped into the sauce. You could tell the meat was premium as it still tasted moist. 4 out of 5.Mind you, after our trip to Japan where we ate at a Japanese Wagyu Teppanyaki place, we definitely had higher expectations since the place seems to be Japanese-run (all the staff spoke Japanese). However, my husband and I both agree we have had better yakiniku in the city we reside. Nonetheless, service was good and all the items came in a timely manner.

Just the same as it was several years ago. The only different is the prices. Excellent service, excellent foods (great cut, types of meats, very fresh and tasty). Small place so reservation is highly recommended.

Anjin was SOOOO GOOOD. The meat melts in your mouth and I was truly amazed. We ordered the short rib, beef tongue, cucumber kimchi, rice with vegetable and egg in soup, prime outside skirt, and pork cheek. My favorite was the beef tongue. It was so chewy and juicy. Every bite for each meat was so good. Honestly cannot be explained in words. I would highly recommend this restaurant. This restaurant may get packed so I would recommend going early when they open. I will definitely be back to try more of their different dishes!!

Food was good, not great but it was good. I was expecting a bit more from a pricier bbq spot so i was left a lil disappointed. Got an order of beef tongue, prime short ribs, diced beef tongue, and their beef carpaccio. Everything tasted fine, but felt like I could have gotten the same quality at a highly rated ayce kbbq spot like gangnam station or mr.bbq. Good food, but portions are small and pricing does not match up. Not sure if i would come back.

Omg this place is amazing. Cozy little place with super friendly service, and great quality food! Love that it's open late. I almost don't want to right the review, because I don't want to share this gem, but alas. They deserve it!
