Best Steakhouse in Williamsburg
Master Critic Review
Salt + Charcoal
8.6
Japanese steakhouse and robata grill in Williamsburg where dry-aged porterhouse, wagyu cuts, and charcoal-grilled meats are the main event. Locals treat it as the neighborhood’s steak destination when they want serious beef with Japanese technique, cocktails, and a moody room rather than a traditional American chophouse.

30-Day Jyukusei Porterhouse Steak, Japanese Wagyu Truffle Roll, Wagyu Yukke Tartare
