    The food was incredible as always but the service was lacking. Every dish that was brought out did not have serving spoons. We asked 4 different staff at various times for spoons.

    Our favorite place to bring our guests. They always think we’re bringing them to a random alley/warehouse and leave full and amazed by the food. Having only 2 toilet rooms is probably its only downside but totally worth it on all other fronts. Bestia has consistently been a favorite for us and everyone we’ve brought there.

    Brought my daughters for Father’s Day………my all time fav server Hiromi took care of us…….I visit Tokyo/Roppongi a lot and I never have a craving for yakiniku over in Japan because of this joint!! So the great thing about Father’s Day is my daughter drove so I enjoyed a pitcher of ice cold Asahi Super Dry all by myself and Hiromi’s impeccable service plus the fantastic quality/taste of all the meats and side dishes……..jeez it’s pure heaven for me, what more can a man ask for???
