I tried the slow cooked beef, beef, and chicken tacos. One of them came with a hard shell which was so crunchy and yummy. The slow cooked beef actually was the worst out of the three. Chicken was very flavorful. Watch out for asking them to con todo. They add this jalapeno juice on top which is super spicy. 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥☄️☄️☄️☄️ even mexican coke couldn’t wash it down. Had to get froyo afterwards. Was desperately looking for food at 4pm so might not come back unless desperate again

All the desserts here are perfectly natural tasting, not too sweet (actually almost not sweetened at all I think?) and healthy. I loved that they had hot dessert options. Loved the hot pumpkin soup the most. Miss it already.

I really loved the chicken wings. Kind of sour kind of spicy and very crispy and juicy. That was the highlight of our meal. The papaya salad was okay. Generally small portion sizes for the price. You order thinking the price isn’t bad till the food comes out and you realize it’s quite small..? Green curry was yummy but I wasn’t mindblown. Calamari was okay wasn’t super crispy. Everything here is generally a bit saltier to say the least maybe their recipe is made for diners who are drinking?! Anyways that + Vibes LOOKED immaculate but they need some sound engineering. The sound in the restaurant echoed so much I couldn’t hear my friend at all. Was quite pricey for what it was given we didn’t order any drinks..but that’s kind of the era of dining we live in today I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

I thought it was bold to label one’s restaurant the best in an area…. UNTIL I TOOK THE FIRST BITE. Holy moly better than some yakitori places in Japan using US birds. How?! I never find anything this good at such an affordable price. I was eating so aggressively here that I pit the inside of my cheek and was bleeding out of it in pain for days. But still worth it. Every single skewer we had was magical and even the sides - chawanmushi was delicious. Even the veggie skewers were so good… the salinity on each dish was near perfect.. something you could never find at $6 a skewer in NYC or London. The claypot rice was so fragrant I can still smell the white rice from here. The grill master is from Japan and so is most of the staff. You can feel the energy all throughout the restaurant. I want to go back NOW

My specific order was double patty mustard grilled with caramelized onions, and diced onions and pickles light spread and well done fries(crispy). California soul food really hits even though I’m not from there!

Mostly a summer spot for their outdoor seatings. their winter set up is not so great. Little snacks are decent but wouldn’t say it’s the best quality. Drinks are kind of mid but vibes are great. Good meetup / catchup spot

Cuts of meats were great and the small dishes banchan were also really good!!! The service was really great in terms of warmth, but I think they could’ve done a little bit better in terms of timing the grill of the vegetables and the meats it felt a little rushed.
