    Now the service here at this location is always hit or miss but the food is usually on point! Its annoying that even when you have reservations you are not seated right away there's always a wait even when they are not busy! Anywho when I say I was beyond disappointed today smh. I thought it was just me but even my mom said it tasted different and just overall bad. There was some weird after taste like as if the grill wasn't clean or if they changed food vendors. The garlic rice was mushy and over cooked. We never and when I said never I mean neverre not finish our garlic rice. Well today was a first we didn't even eat half. I ordered the bistro steak as it is one of my go to items. It was bland and overall disgusting. Tasted nothing how it normally does. My mother had shrimp, pork and spicy chicken items. She also stated there was a strange taste. I ordered 3 bistro steaks. Two of them came on the same plate and another alone. I sent the other plate back it was so bad. I feel like this location is going downhill. Also, our waitress informed us they no longer oil the grills. Not sure when that came into effect but I thought that was strange. Also my receipt strangely this time didn't have a barcode for me to scan for points. I think I might be done with this location. DTLA and Huntington Beach locations are much better regarding service and cleanliness.

    Meat selection was great! We had the tier 2 AYCE package. Everything was good. The garlic rice was bomb and it’s already good for 3-4 people so it can be shared. My personal favorites are the Harami skirt steak, premium sirloin and umakara ribeye. Service was also great. Our server was very attentive. I highly recommend making a reservation.

    I had a great overall experience at the restaurant, with excellent food and a wonderful atmosphere. However, I believe there is room for improvement in service, as it took nearly 25 minutes for a waiter to take our drink orders after we were seated, despite having made a reservation
