Wait staff were super friendly. It's a chain so the food is pretty consistent. I love how tender the beef came out. Cheese and corn was yummy too. They help grill it for you.

I absolutely adore this chain of restaurants! My friend took me one time I visited LA and now every time I go back I HAVE to get my fix or else my trip isn't complete. The portions are large so beware when ordering. It's great that they cook the meat for you so you don't have to worry about flipping it over and making sure that it's ready. I will have to say that our waiter wasn't on par with my other experiences and he let us down a bit. Some of our meat got burnt =(. The short rib was my favourite. It had just the right amount of fat to keep it tender and not be dried out. The corn cheese is delicious and we kept ordering more. This was almost to the point of the waiter denying us anymore haha. Just FYI that the egg takes forever to cook.

This place was expensive. We ordered the small beef combo and small pork combo. We ordered gyoza and beef tongue. Total? $174+ without tip. There were four of us.I thought that this was a self-service spot but the staff handled the meat from beginning to end. They're hard workers.
