So happy we found this restaurant while visiting California! From the outside, it is a bit deceiving. A little run down. But the inside is very nice and I love the setup of the tables. The spring rolls were by far my favorite and we had so much fun cooking our own meat! I just wish the restaurant had better ventilation. By the time we left, we smelt like smoke and my eyes were hurting. The staff was very very friendly and helpful!!

Fantastic dining experience! We took the whole family, and everyone enjoyed grilling their own food. It does get a bit smokey depending on what is on the grill, but the food tastes fantastic. Some of the dishes blend southern California flavors (avocado, jalapeno, etc) work Japanese, and there results are outstanding. The servers were friendly and attentive as well. We really enjoyed this restaurant.

This is the best Japanese BBQ I’ve been to!! The quality of meat is perfect, and you can choose your own way to grill the meat. The meat is spot on, thick, chunky in portion, and timed right on the dot. Must ordered: **Prime Thick cut beef tongue **Tongue Kalbi ** Hanging tender ** Boneless short rib ** Outside skirt steak ** Hikari House salad: a great companion for BBQ meat. Tried some new dishes: **Burrata Cheese w/Sauteed beef: very innovative dish! The combination of Burrata cheese and basil sauce worked concordantly. ** Deep Fried Chicken wing

Meat quality is really good especially the marinated beef ribs and Wagyu meat. It was fun grilling them on the special grill with charcoal in front and the service is really good, very consistent and attentive. I would go again!!

Fixed menu. The meats are more marinated than expected, very delicious. Table next to us was cooking everything at once and the whole place got smoky. Don't do that! Enjoy each piece one by one. Loved that there was a mixed rice bowl with cheese. Perfect amount of food and drinks. Charcoal is the way to go.

Always nice to eat here. It is smoky inside but the food is fantastic. They are doing Meal courses instead of choose your own meal now and it was $80 a person for 3 appetizers, 6 meat courses and a noodle end of meal serving. Overall a good experience and friendly staff.

LOVED the food here and the service was great. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The charcoal grill is one of the things that makes this place so special. The charcoal adds a great flavor to the food. We doubled down on the marinated steak and miso chicken. This was the perfect date night spot.

This place is amazing, price is a little high, but the quality of the meat is off the charts. Don't miss anything having to do with the hanging tender cut, out of this world. Also, of all the odd things, the French toast for dessert is honestly the best French toast I have ever eaten, hands down.

Why 1 star? Because I have been here many times and tonight (Saturday) I was told, Omakaze only! That’s $80 per person, which does not include beverages. No thank you! Don’t try to rip off consumers.

Food amazing my son took me here for mother's day. Smokey no problem just wash your clothes the smokiness doesn't stay on your clothes. I ordered salad to start with...looks great and tasted heavenly.

The best meat I ever had in CA! This is Chef's Omakase in Japanese BBQ. The quality of meat is excellent and there are variety of drinks to enjoy. Kudos to chef and staffs for their on time services!!
