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!

Family and I went for dinner and got a few course meals. The hori-gotatsu style seating where you take off your shoes and sit in a little cubby style seat is great.
Overall experience is very Japanese with excellent service and presentation.
Food is authentic high end Japanese Yakiniku . It is very good, but the only complaint is that for how expensive it is, the portion sizes are authentically Japanese as well (I.e. small)

Yakiniku Japanese style BBQ in NYC! Best quality Waygu, cooking methods and aged techniques! Amazing Japan wood decoration leading the design throughout. It’s the Gem in Midtown New York!
We strolled into the restaurant at our pretty late hour, and were greeted by décor so sleek it practically winked at us. Not a soul in sight - which was perfect, like we’d reserved the entire place on a whim. The waitstaff treated us like royalty, and we were here for it. We savored warm house sake, some diamond-cut meat, and bibimbap that could make a grown foodie tear up. Everything hit the spot, and our waitress, Ami (I think?), was the cherry on top of a night.

By far one of the loveliest restaurants in Manhattan. Excellent food, excellent. Waitress was so polite and attentive. Private booth and relaxed ambience. Come here if you are in the area.

Toraji offers a stylish and inviting atmosphere, perfect for both casual and special dining experiences. The interior design exudes a sleek, making you feel relaxed as soon as you step in. The staff are friendly and attentive, adding to the overall pleasant ambiance.
I opted for the soup set, which did not disappoint. The flavors were rich, and the portion was satisfying. As a delightful surprise, the meal ended with mochi ice for dessert.
Toraji is definitely a spot worth visiting if you’re looking for a delicious meal in a stylish setting!

The meat is OK, but very overpriced compared to other wagyu places and barely has any service.
