Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Great customer service. They open for dine-in in the front of the restaurant (3 tables only) so you might need to reserve first. The wait is not too long if the party is under 4. I like the ninja combo. Great meat quality, but if you like side dish like me then this restaurant does not have as many...

Evan's Smokehouse BBQ

Barbecue restaurant

👍👍 I have to start off by saying I'm pretty tough on BBQ restaurants and am not impressed by many here in California(only 3 in total), but this was the best all around BBQ food I have had and you won't be disappointed coming here. I'll start with the brisket, very well-rendered fat, tender, good smoke...
