I highly recommend the steak tartare, and definitely try the 'Wagyu experience'—order the American followed by the Japanese cut to really appreciate the distinct textures. It's a delicious study in contrasts! Be sure to book a table in advance!“

“Fabulous experience. Felt like we had 4 people attending to us at all times while we were focused on the coursed meal. 2 hours flew by with phenomenal pairings, including combinations we haven't seen before. We recently attended the Omakase at the Ritz in Laguna Niguel; Momoyama was better... just need to forget that you're in a strip mall.“

“WOW. What a great experience!! I came here at 6:40 on a Friday night and, surprisingly, there was no wait. The restaurant was homey, clean, and cozy. Vince set us up and our waitress, May, kindly explained the menu. We ordered the Bread & Butter, Miso Bacon Carbonara, and Butokaku. EVERYTHING WAS GOOD! The focaccia bread was satisfyingly soft and fluffy like a sponge, paired wonderfully with the whipped honey butter. The Butokaku (pork belly) was savory, fatty, and salty. The Miso Bacon Carbonara had good flavor and nice bite, but I honestly wasn't super impressed with the mochi noodles. Regular pasta noodles might have been better. Overall, I was very impressed with the excellent service (down to cheese grated by the manager), warm interior decor, and beautiful presentation and flavors of the food. I couldn't help but peek at other peoples' tables -- Everything looked amazing. I definitely plan on coming back to try other dishes and dessert!!“
