We came here with a group of friends after work and they denied us. The security guard was rude, he said that the only way we could enter was if we had a reservations and they only time we had to reserve was at 5pm. We walked up at 9:30pm and he said we could only reserve if we spoke Mandarin, we had someone who spoke mandarin in our group and they did not allow her to talk to management. She asked the Hispanic guard 3 times that she can speak mandarin. I do no not understand why they are an establishment claiming they are open and are denying paying customers to enter, it did not state on the website that you could only enter with a reservation. You can not find them on Yelp. Seems sketch and off. We felt discriminated against and will be taking further action and calling the business burrow and contacting the city of El Monte. Being a resident of El Monte for years and having a business that is not welcoming to community members and surrounding business is unprofessional.

This place seems pretty nice. Just wondering how to make a reservation. No one is answering the phone.

We arrived at midnight and they did not let us in because they said it was closed (although the hours say open til 2am). However, there were a lot of people inside (all Asian) and while we were leaving another group came in. Our group was Hispanic/white so we felt discriminated and certain that is why we were rejected. Unfortunate that they did not take our business.

Apologies for not taking any photos but trust me when I say that the owner really cares about the dishes he puts out. As a sushi chef, he is a kind man who cares about the opinions of his customers. My sister and I decided to try the place out and we're pleasantly surprised by the kindness and the taste of the food.As for food, we ordered some sushi rolls, sashimi, and sashimi salad. The salad was my sister's favorite dish since the veggies paired well with the fatty taste of the fish. So fresh and lovely. A good balance of fish to salad. The dressing is what made it amazing for me. Gently drizzled with a sweet yet salty flavor made the dish really come together. As sushi goers we typically aren't fond of sashimi, usually when we go to sushi places, it has an odd aftertaste. But not this time. The sweet sauce made the tender fish melt into my mouth! I couldn't get enough of it. (I just kept eating and forgot to take pictures!) The sushi rolls were also delicious! Just enough to make you full and want to come back for more.What was best about this place really was the owner speaking with us. Initially when we walked in, there was no one to greet us and hardly anyone inside. So we thought the restaurant was closed. Although we saw an employee there so luckily we were able to be seated. After eating, the chef/owner came up to us to ask us a couple questions about the food and our experiences with Japanese dishes. We had a long discussion and ended up with more than just a happy meal, but with a good experience.The reason for this being 4 stars is because we did have to search for a host to seat us. And the selection menu didn't differentiate than many other sushi places. We did talk with the owner and gave him some ideas of how this could change so more clientele would stop by.(Also the name of this restaurant has changed. They only serve sushi and sashimi now, there's no BBQ anymore)

Last week was our first time we went to this place. But It is surely not the last time. We enjoyed the evening very much with the attentive service, with the first-rate dishes and booze and with the decent price. We will no doubt come back soon.
This place is worth visiting. They have large portions for convenient prices. Constantly well kept and with good ambience. I highly recommend this place.

I celebrated my PhD last night in this delicious restaurant. happy to tell that we had a brilliant evening and the restaurant was certainly the reason for that fruitful gathering. The crew cooperated in a lovely manner, the meals were tasty and my buddies were very happy. We shall absolutely visit again for more joyful events. Thank you very much.

I just like their dishes. I always get good customer service here. The place is well organised and the cashiers are always super friendly. Highly recommended.

Excellent spot to get food when in a hurry. The service is fast, pricing is affordable, excellent mood. Highly recommended

Excellent comfort food, reminding me of the best fried chicken of the South. Chicken and waffles are an excellent choice, combining sweet with savory. The French toast is more like a huge slice of cake, which my toddler ate in its entirety (a rarity). The wait times are long during the Saturday lunch hour, and the food for our party did not come all together. Still, the food made the inconvenience worthwhile. Probably better for smaller groups.
