Happy hour was great, our waiter alerted us early that last call was coming so we could order another round of drinks. The pours were spectacular — doubles were more like quadruples! Service was outstanding and food was superb!

Good: Great comfortable ambience. Service Was attentive. Ribeye was tender, a bit pricey. Bad: Kalbi was tough, with gristles which couldn’t broken down. Didn’t like the raw onion in the green salad. Should just have tomatoes, and perhaps carrots. Dolsot Bibimbop was terrible! Basically, A bowl of wet rice with hardly any meat, no browned/burnted at the bottom. Definitely overpriced and should be taken off the menu. Please don’t use garlic in the namur vegetables!

Very nice place, not very busy and not noisy. I enjoyed the ambience and the vibe a lot, reminded me of Japan a lot. Will be revisiting, especially during happy hour purely for the ridiculous prices, quantity, and value of food you can get

Our chef Ka Ki had all the tricks and humor I expect from Tanaka of Tokyo West. His cooking skills are top notched and very entertaining. He is also very respectful but playful. All the food was fresh and of the highest caliber. Our server Jordan was also of the highest caliber in service.

Awesome food and good value, especially during happy hour. We really enjoyed the Kalua pork nachos and the ahi and salmon carpaccio. They squeezed in a high chair for our toddler too.

The surrounding wells smelled really heavily of soap which was hard to handle at points and definitely flavored the Mac n cheese and cheese corn
