Very good Japanese yakiniku aka bbq. The quality of meat and marinade are excellent. We had Tokyo style beef tongue and Kobe beef tongue; US prime short ribs, US prime Rosu and Kobe Short ribs. All meat are tender, soft and juicy. No doubt Kobe one stands out. Service are great, you are getting enough attention during your meal time but not overly. This is one of our favorite bbq place in LA area. We would definitely come here every time we visit LA.
