I love this restaurant. It's a small cozy space with extremely friendly staff, and high quality food. You won't be disappointed. Uni & Kobe beef sashimi, and garlic fried rice and mind blowing good!

Excellent service as always. Food was prepared in a timely manner and was excellent. Their attention to detail was great. Tables were spotless and overall very clean restaurant. The garlic noodles are absolutely a must have

The best beef ever. The food is always solid and the selection of beef is exceptional. We love the beef short rib and beef caps. However, we recommend making a reservation especially in the weekends. The service was excellent.

The absolute worst service I’ve had in the last 10 years. I had a reservation for 8 PM and they didn’t let me in until 8:25 and then we sat down at the table for another 15 minutes before anyone came to take our order. This is unacceptable and I’m never coming back here again. I left the restaurant mad and the waiter saw me and didn’t even even ask. What was the problem they just looked at me, smiled as I left.

I loooooove this place. My family and I go here for special occaisions and I've never been dissappointed. It's a little pricey, but in my eyes, if you've never had Wagyu or Kobe beef, it's an experience to the taste buds that can't be put into words. You just have to experience it for yourself.

Fantastic food in a relaxed atmosphere. Just be aware that the tables are pretty close together. Parking is tough in the lot, so plan to drop off your party and wait for a spot for 5 or 10 min. I have eaten her for years and had nothing but great experiences.

The service was extremely bad! After we had been there for just one hour, a male server kept rushing us to leave. We were forced to grill two plates of meat all at once.

To make room for new customers at the neighboring table, they moved half of the partition onto our table while we were still eating our dessert and asked us to pay immediately. When we asked why they didn’t inform us about the time limit when we ordered, especially since we hadn’t even reached their supposed “1.5 hours” limit, they had no reasonable explanation. Please remember, terrible service is worth 0 pennies. It was a highly disrespectful experience!

We had an outstanding experience at this Japanese BBQ restaurant! From the moment we were seated, the attentive servers ensured our every need was met, with regular check-ins to keep our drinks topped off. Their genuine dedication to ensuring we savored every bite of the incredible Wagyu beef, of the highest quality, made our visit truly special. The ambiance was perfect—relaxing and welcoming, allowing for comfortable conversations at our table without being drowned out by neighboring diners. It truly enhanced our dining experience. Despite being an exceptional restaurant, the prices were surprisingly reasonable. This establishment is undeniably a gem in Orange County, and we look forward to returning whenever we're in the area. We highly recommend it! We had an amazing experience at this Japanese BBQ restaurant!
