"Tokyo Kalbi is a little far away from the action on Sawtelle Blvd, but that shouldn’t detract from the fact it’s the best yakiniku option in the neighborhood. Apart from its gaudy Louis Vuitton x USDA Prime Beef wallpaper, there’s nothing super unique about this Japanese BBQ spot–it just serves high-quality cuts at an attractive price. For under $40, you can get a kalbi combo with marbled slices of short rib, skirt steak, and buttery rib eye that get dipped into a light shio sauce. And make sure to tack on the housemade gyoza and massive daikon and nori salad drizzled with kewpie mayo to your order. " - Brant Cox, Sylvio Martins, Arden Shore
