I love this place as it offers one of the best Selections of Sizzling plates.You may choose your own type of meat (chicken-beef-fish with a side of veggies) or add on an appetizer.I also loved their hawaaiian plate with BBQ galbi,rice and macaroni.My ultimate favorite here is Beef Kimchi sizzling plate, calamari,walnut shrimp and crispy chicken,mango green tea,basic crispy french fries, etc.But im not a fan of potstickers though.Plus this place is super clean,with a clean bathroom as well.Servers are very attentive and approachable.I will definitely try other snacks and dish next time

Diner Beware - no mater how much you final bill cost it DOES NOT INCLUDE TIP & the staff will remind you of that aspect. Huge disappointment to what could be a great place for tasty food.

I had a craving for wontons and decided to give this play a try. They were delicious and came out quick and fresh and tasted like it.

Love the grill style BBQ with udon or rice. The curry beef cheese with udon is delicious, the melted cheese over the hot clay pot taste so perfect. I’ll definitely come back. The inside of restaurant is a little bit cold and don’t feel cozy though.

Everything was alright at first, all though we got an onion in one of our plastic cups and the boba was hard. We paid, tipped CASH and left. A server took out the receipts and ran after us to our car begging for tip????? WHAT?? You didn’t even check the table or even attempt to clean the table and you’re worrying about your tip??? You’re getting paid hourly be grateful. Y’all need to hire someone better than that

I can see more than one person has had this problem. I went to front to pay after eating and the total was much more than what we ordered . When I asked why was it 15 dollars more for a 30 dollar meal the person at the register said that the tip was included . It shouldn’t be a requirement to tip . I still tipped 5 dollars still and she was all around very rude .

I would say it's a hole in the wall but it takes a corner of a non-descript building. Some parking in front or around. We stopped after getting stuck on the freeway for hours and were very hungry. I'm not sure how this place has 4+ stars!? We ordered Tonkatsu Ramen and not much was Japanese about it. Some sus tasting blend veggie pieces (could not identify), canned corn (seriously?) and meh broth. Pot stickers we got for appetizers screamed for more sear and were served without plates to share. Service was actually good. Water was served as soon as we sat down, flimpsy plastic cups given (cutting cost at any cost?). Beers came as soon as we ordered via app. The app was good, 2 people could order on the same tab, paid later at the counter. The server came and inquired a few times which was nice. The restroom was a faceless unit you will find in public parks. The prices were reasonable. We came for food and we are not coming back.

I really liked this place. The food was so delicious and amazing. Next time I'll order extra steak and an egg on my rice.

Came here on a Wednesday afternoon and there was no wait at all! Most of the tables were filled though so this place seems pretty popular. The table had a QR code for you to scan and order food. They did mess up on my friend's order, but quickly came out with the right one soon after. I got the curry beef cheese rice plate and it was sizzling hot and fresh! There were also a lot of other options on the menu so I would love to come back to try out the other ones!

Our first time on Friday around 1:30pm, restaurant is half full and we can pick any open table. Staff are friendly and efficient, bringing water to our table right away. Order using QR code at table. Mango green tea with mango stars drink arrives within a few minutes, and the entrees just another 5 minutes later! Food is hot and fresh with simple flavors. Hawaiian plate meats are cooked just right. Sizzling plate has a paper wrap to protect your hands from accidentally touching it - thoughtful touch! Udon is soft and chewy. We paid on mobile phone using the same ordering system - very convenient. Will become our go-to for Hawaiian food or sizzling plate since it's close to our home with convenient parking.

I was busy running errands and the next thing I noticed that it was almost 1pm. Since it's too late to cook lunch, I decided to order take out from this place instead. I ordered the chicken katsu entree and chicken teriyaki entree. I was told that my order would be ready in 15 minutes. When I arrived, I was the only customer there and my food was already sitting on the counter. As for flavor, I thought the chicken teriyaki was just okay. However, the chicken katsu had more flavor and the exterior was slightly crunchy. As for the sauces, they didn't pair well with any of the entrees and to be honest, I didn't think they were that good to begin with. Both entrees had chopped up lettuce on the bottom of both chickens. By the time we were done with the chicken, the lettuce was greasy and wilted due to the heat from the chicken. As for portions, they were huge.

The curry salmon udon is very great! It's towards the saltier end but it's very flavourful. Golden eel rice is awesome too but i wish there were more eels! Ordering is via a QR code so service was super fast!
