GoogleThe Japanese wagyu melts in your mouth 🤤🤤 also a fan of the Australian wagyu too for something less fatty than the A5. Kalbi was another fave, and the chateaubriand was more dense but still super tender. Love the sake - got 3 flights. thought I'd prefer the smoother sweet ones, but I actually really enjoyed the dry Kubota Senju and will have to give the other dry sake a try next time. Was treated to a soju that I unfortunately missed the name of, but it had a kick to it too! Warm friendly service with good recommendations. Overall a pleasant experience.

GoogleI swear this place was an AMAZING choice for dinner. We ordered the Australian Wagyu and marinated kalbi, plus kimchi fried rice. Everything—even the salads for our appetizers—was super fresh and high quality. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Shoutout to our server Jay, who took such great care of us. He was friendly, attentive, and most importantly… his meat-grilling skills were on another level. We all like our meat cooked medium, and the wagyu came out unbelievably smooth, tender, and soft. Hands down the BESTEST beef I’ve ever had. 🥩✨ We also got the tempura lobster tails, and not only were they delicious (duh it’s 🦞), but the plating was so cute too. Even though the restaurant was packed and super busy that night, all the servers were so kind and kept checking on us, which we really appreciated🥰 One of the biggest worries about going to a steakhouse is your clothes smelling afterward, but they actually have a decent-sized coat closet right by the entrance. Perfect for storing jackets and bags without walking out smelling like grilled meat 😂 They also have a long bar table, so I’d totally come back solo sometime for some drinks and a chill dinner. Highly recommend!!!

GoogleFirst time visiting here and it was a great experience with excellent food! This restaurant serves high quality meat such as Wagyu, chateaubriand, and kalbi. Nothing is pre-cut so every portion is perfectly sliced by the chef after your order is placed, ensuring peak freshness. I could tell the meat was top notch because of how tender it was. This restaurant focuses on quality over quantity. It is not your typical korean bbq restaurant with unlimited portions, but rather it offers an elevated experience with hand selected meats. The chef cooks the meat right in front to make sure that the meat is cooked to perfection. They even have a happy hour! This restaurant has a beautiful modern aesthetic with great details. There is even a closed glass coat rack/closet in the front where you can put your jackets while you dine. This thoughtful detail shows just how much the owner cares about your dining experience. Overall great service with super welcoming staff. I will definitely be back again!

GoogleI recently visited the newly opened Sho Kalbi BBQ, and I was seriously impressed! The customer service was amazing from the moment I walked in. The menu had so many great options, and everything I tried tasted incredible. I ordered a steak that came with several sides, and they cooked it right in front of me with great manners and skill. The food was absolutely delicious! The place is clean, well-organized, and has a nice, classy vibe. I’m super happy with my experience and will definitely be coming back again! Highly recommended.
