Tokyo Kalbi

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.

If you're seeking an amazing culinary journey in Los Angeles, you must visit Tokyo Kalbi - an absolute hidden gem in the city.

Doesn't take long to cook to perfection. Every bite literally melts in your mouth, and you can tell that the quality of beef is taken into matter with each bite. But that's not all - Tokyo Kalbi offers an excellent selection of sake that pairs incredibly well with the food. The staff is extremely knowledgeable about their drinks and can help you select the perfect sake to complement your meal. What's more, the service at Tokyo Kalbi is exceptional - their staff members

So good. A staple for yakiniku in LA

So good but portions so small…
