Tsuruhashi - Reviews

My family and I have been coming to this Japanese BBQ spot for years to celebrate special occasions and birthdays. The food, including the meat, rice, and side dishes, is consistently delicious. The staff are welcoming and accommodating, and they even recognize my family now. I highly recommend the family combo for its good balance of beef variety and value, especially for larger parties. While the portions aren't the largest and the price is on the higher side, I believe it's worth it for the quality. We found free parking, but available spots can be difficult to find at night, as is typical for Convoy. The restroom is a single room located in the back next to the kitchen, and it's nothing special. We will definitely continue to eat here!

My family and I had an excellent dinner. The staff was incredibly pleasant and attentive, and the chow was excellent. We are eager to return. For those new to Asian BBQ in SoCal, be aware that some places are all-you-can-eat and around $35 per person, often featuring lower-grade meats. This restaurant, however, is an a la carte establishment, offering higher grade meats (A5) at approximately $100 per person, comparable to fine dining establishments like Capital Grille or Ruth's Chris, rather than casual dining like Outback or Applebee's.

We were able to get seats right away around 6: 15, but later it was all packed. We ordered premium beef tongue, pork belly, and premium ribs, which were absolutely delicious and of good quality. We were told no appetizers were included, so we ordered edamame, which was good. Later, we added kabocha peppers and the family combo meat. It turned out we felt the combo meat was less in quality, though more in quantity. However, the vegetables were very fresh and delicious. The staff was very attentive and friendly. When it was fully packed, it was very lively.

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was amazing, earning a perfect score of 5. However, the price was very high for the amount of steak served. We ordered the wagyu platter, which included about 6oz of wagyu, two medium rice portions, one Asahi beer, five pieces of thin pork, and a $20 steak (five pieces). The total bill for this was $160. While the quality of the food was excellent, the value for money, particularly with the steak, was questionable. I'd recommend exploring other Japanese options to save money. The atmosphere was also great, rated 5, and the service was excellent, also rated 5. It was a quiet environment, making conversation easy.

My experience at this restaurant was centered around the premium beef, which was excellent. However, the new tablet system for ordering was a bit clunky during my visit. Overall, it's a great place to eat if you're looking for high-quality beef.

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was good, but the portion sizes were surprisingly small, especially for the "family combo, " which was comparable to a single person's meat platter at other shabu or BBQ places. It's advisable to eat a snack beforehand. Interestingly, the A5 beef seemed reasonably priced, while other beef options were not. The service was excellent, rated a 5 out of 5, and the atmosphere was pleasant with moderate noise. The price per person was between $30-50.

My experience at this restaurant was great. I found it to be the best BBQ in this area. While you do pay for quality over quantity, I would highly recommend choosing this place. The Wagyu cuts were great.

My experience at this restaurant was that the meat was decent, however, the place is way over priced and you do not get your money worth of food. I recommend it for people who don’t care to spend a $100 and not feel full after. I had to go grab a burger after I was still super hungry.

My experience at this Japanese Yakiniku restaurant was very nice. They offer a good selection of different meats with excellent quality, and you can truly taste the difference between the quality levels. The staff were very friendly and professional, providing excellent service. I also really enjoyed the nice, cozy atmosphere, featuring individual booths and wood paneling. It's definitely a fun place to visit when you have a craving for tasty yakiniku BBQ!

I’ve come for many times with family and friends. However, I got the worst experience tonight. The owner refused me to order family combo, stating it was for multiple people. This was contradictory as she allowed me to order premium family set and wagyu family combo. Secondly, she insisted I should grill all the stuff and take them home, which I found very ridiculous. I paid for the food and should have the right to decide how to deal with it. This is my last time here, and I decided to pay 0 tip.
