2023-08-02 21:18:58One of few Japanese barbecue restaurant that offers all you can eat top quality meat selection.Very clean place, great selection of meat and vegetables. We tried the $75 meal and that includes all of the items on the menu, and also you get one order of Wagyu and one Kobe nigiri. Great experience meat melt in your mouth tender.Everything we had was awesome and we will be back again.The servers were very attentive and nice.Thank you for making it first visit a memorable one.

2023-08-19 05:07:39The 2 stars is for the overpriced $25 2 meat Lunch special. The $25 Lunch special only gives you 3 small pieces of each meat that was selected which was not mentioned on the menu. When the plate of meat came out, I asked the waiter if we can change our order to the $55 - All you can eat option.He asked his manager, and the manager said we can only change it to the $75 Premium All you can eat option. This sounded a little sketchy/greedy for a new business that was empty at lunch time. It was not a good first impression for the only customer in the restaurant at the time during Friday lunch hour. I kindly declined the offer and stuck with our overpriced lunch special. The waiter than said you can try the $55 all you can eat next time. I highly doubt I will be returning customer even though I live in the area.Maybe my review rating would have been different if the manager understood that being a first-time customer and not being familiar with lunch special portion offering and allow us to switch and try the higher priced $55 All you can eat. That would have made me think this business wanted to establish a returning customer base, especially for residents in the area.Unfortunately, this didnt happen. The little meat we had was okay. The shishato peppers we order was also average.The only bright side was that our waiter was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean and new.Good luck finding street parking.Lot more better options in the area for $25 lunch.

2023-08-28 02:36:54Kudos to everyone, specially Javier for being a really great server! It was my 1st time here yesterday. I found the place in Google since I am craving for a AYCE Japanese Yakinuku. I came from the Philippines and just visiting LA.Their A5 Japanese wagyu and Seared American Kobe Nigiri is something to die for. I tried all their meat and it is just perfect.

2023-06-07 00:04:42This was seriously good food.We did the premium ayce which lets you have the one order of wagyu and kobe nigiri.Those two items alone were worth going for. The nigiri is so good it just melts in your mouth. The wagyu is really good. Its fatty in a good way where the flavor feels enhanced by it. Too bad its only 1 order per person.The service was fantastic, they were nice and attentive. The place was empty though so I cant speak for a full house.Presentation of the food was well done.The rest of the menu is also good. We got dumplings, beef fried right and an assortment of meats.Overall, I recommend this place, you wont be disappointed.

2023-05-14 21:00:49Great japanese grill around the area, and they keep up with the food quality, especially the beef/ steak. I went here today for deluxe all you can eat. The choices of meat are ok while the premium option will access all choices, including A5 Wagyu etc. Would highly recommend the soft shell crab if you like it.

2022-11-18 05:25:26New to the neighborhood, Roku is more than welcomed. Side note, their sushi is amazing. Rib eye and garlic shrimp are dynamite. Staff rock, great atmosphere, in Toluca Lake, what more do you want?

2023-07-31 23:15:54Normally, I don’t write a lot of Google reviews. I found this place online and decided to give it a try with my wife. It was awesome. We decided to try to $55.00 AYCE. The meat and seafood selection were great and plenty. The beef was tender, and seafood was fresh. The restaurant offered high quality sushi and the side dishes were very tasty for a Japanese BBQ. Service was very pleasant, and we were served quickly. We just found out favorite Japanese AYCE BBQ.
