    This lovely restaurant never fails to please. I had dinner there last night with a friend from out of town. She had the rabbit on the menu, and it was delicious. Rabbit is NEVER easy to find on any menu or in the markets. So it was a real treat. I had to Branzino and it was also wonderful.

    If you're craving authentic Japanese food, Shin-Sen-Gumi Yakitori & Men-Ya in Alhambra is a must-visit! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with an authentic vibe that transports you straight to Japan. I started with their famous Japanese meat skewers—absolutely delicious! The yakitori was perfectly grilled, with just the right amount of char and tenderness. The flavors were spot-on, and each skewer was a delightful burst of savory goodness. Next, I had the ramen. The broth was rich and flavorful, with a great depth that comes from hours of careful preparation. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the toppings (from soft-boiled eggs to tender slices of pork) really elevated the dish. It's easily one of the best ramen bowls I've had. To round out the meal, I enjoyed a glass of cold sake. It was smooth and refreshing, a perfect complement to the meal. Overall, everything was great. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food came out quickly without sacrificing quality. Whether you're a fan of yakitori or ramen, this place does it right. I’ll definitely be back for more!

    We got there before our reservation & was seated after everyone in our party of 6 arrived. Everything from appetizers to main courses & desserts were super delicious. Our guests from out of town were not disappointed. They were glad to experience Bestia. It lived out to the great reviews.
