I have been wanting to try Anjin for some times, my old house bro got a new job and life was looking bright for him so we made a plan to catch up here.
It was on a Friday, me and slave girl wanted to avoid rush traffic so we decided to head down to the area around 4 even though the dinner was set at 7:30. Anjin has a very interesting reservation system. We couldn't make phone reservation but "walk-in" reservation was OK. We got there right when they opened so we put down our name and the time we wanted to be seated, then we decided to hang out at the supermarket across the street to kill some time (oh grilled beef tongue, you know it!). Our group showed up a little early at 7, so we told the server we were a little early and he told us we would be seated next. Not gonna lie, it was a thrill to feel like we were cutting lines and escorted to the first available table while receiving dirty looks from others waiting for seats.
For starters, we ordered beef tataki and marinated raw beef with egg yolk. I enjoyed beef tataki but slave girl said it was meh. Well, meh you! It was good! We both agreed marinated raw beef with egg yolk (I would like to call it beef tartare) was freaking delicious! I didn't see much seasoning but the flavor just blew me away. Quality matters.

For main courses, we ordered salted tongue, marbled prime boneless short ribs, marbled prime rib eye, and prime outside skirt. My favorite was the short rib. It had more fat compared to the others and meat itself had better chewing texture. They were all very thin but delicious. The fat to meat ration was perfect. The quality matched the price, but definitely not the portion.

I would strongly recommend to eat something before coming here or you will be very poor when you walk out of the door. Quality over quantity for sure and I will be back again for the A5 wagyu.
