I ordered the creme brulee online for pick up. I came in and it was already ready but then I wondered why it looked different. I was just going to go with it anyway but they called me few mins later to say that it was the wrong one and they fixed it for me and even brought it outside to my car. Thank you! Appreciate it a lot

The good: The food.
The bad: With a pretty empty restaurant, it took a minute for us to be sat. No menus. We had a scan a code on the table, which didn't work. No one came to our table to take our order. Oh wait. You need to order from the app, which didn't work. Food came. I didn't not have the right utensils so I had to flag down a server to get me something. Since we had to order from the app, we had water but it didn't occur to us to order drinks as well, so I had to flag down someone again. By the way, there seems to be only one person working in the front. Until we see another worker sit down at the table next to us to eat his meal. Do they not have a break room?
We finish our meal. No check. Oh wait, we need to pay through the app again. We needed to go containers. We had to flag down a server AGAIN. And AGAIN because we didn't have enough boxes for our food.
Overall, very poor service. Virtually, no server interaction, unless they were serving our food or calling for them.
I don't think I'll be returning, unless it is for a to-go meal.

I was a little unimpressed. The menu has a lot of variety, but the two dishes we got were mediocre at best. Pretty salty too...
The Garlic Shrimp Plate is decently sized, but didn't have much complexity in flavor. Tasted like shrimp I could make at home with garlic butter unfortunately. Mac salad was pretty good though!
The Pepper Beef Sizzling Plate was average. Not nearly as tasty as other competitiors, like Sizzling Lunch and Pepper Lunch. The portions were quite decent though!

Went here with a friend for lunch. I got the beef and salmon rice sizzle plate and my buddy got teriyaki chicken and we had chicken wings as an appetizer. Everything was great. We left full and will be back to try other items. 👍

If you’re familiar with Pepper Lunch, this place is a smaller version of that chain restaurant. They offer a wider variety of appetizers and snacks, but you’ll need to mix the sauce yourself (it lacks flavor when they come). The place isn’t large, but it’s spacious enough for a group if you call ahead. The service was great and fast, and the food wasn’t bad. They have a selection of chicken, beef, salmon, and even ramen. Parking was also easy to find.

Whatever you order, it will be fresh, flavorful and cooked to perfection. I don't know what it is with this place, but they always seem to cook things to the perfect level of doneness. Not under or over cooked, the meats are always juicy as heck

This place has to be one of the best food places I've tried! You order from a QR Code. The Food comes out fast and fresh and tastes delicious! I wish they had a location in San Diego!

I've been here many times and the food has always been good. I tried the eel plate and was pleasantly surprised that it was so good. The amount of eel you get compared to other places so good for the value. I will be back just for the eel. All the sizzling plates are good and the Hawaiian BBQ options expand the experience even more.

The food was alright. Nothing bad. Hot plate wasn’t hot enough and had too much water and moisture.
Cheese corn was good. Tofu was alright. Steak and salmon broccoli quality was good
