“We came for a birthday lunch. There was another lady celebrating her birthday too. Ali was our server and she was great. Jesse was our cook and he was outstanding. The food was fresh and cooked to perfection. It’s not just lunch but an experience. The soup was hot and full of flavor. The rice was full of yummy garlic butter and steaming hot. Oh my the steak was so juicy with tins of delicious flavor. The ice tea was really crisp and refreshing. The birthday girls got a free ice cream and photo. Ten out of ten recommend the food here. You have to pay for parking but it’s LA so. We experienced a little hiccup and spoke to Patrick the manager. Patrick is one of the worst managers I’ve encountered. He was rude, unprofessional and extremely condescending. Because he was so rude we had to ask for the GM Jason. Jason was very professional, helpful and understanding he even solved the issue without insulting us. Thank you Ali , Jesse, and Jason for a delightful dining experience. The restrooms are small but clean.“
“Awesome steak and rice bowls. High quality meat and excellent flavor. Beats Benihana hands down. 5 STaRKid-friendliness: I often ask them to cut steak smaller for my kids and they are happy to do it. It’s also very affordable. I try to tip 20% every time beside I feel the quality and service is top notch“
“Are you kidding? Less than 4 stars?? This is not happening. This place has the best creamy sea urchin pasta. My second favorite is the mentaiko pasta.The consistency is amazing. Just the right amount of cream, sea urchin, fat, salt, sugar, acidity. What more can I say? You should really try this out.The lines were long during dinner time, so I recommend to check in through yelp and put your name on the waiting list. Other than that, 10/10!“
