I have not been there for a year but I used to go there at least once month for about three years. Today, I was ripped off totally by the waitress who probably the owner/chef's wife. We have 3 persons including my 3 years old daughter. We ordered 12 sticks with the waiter first. I added another stick with the waitress during the meals. The waitress asked me you order only one stick? you need two more? I told her I just want one. After she walked away, then I realized she was trying to tell me about mini 5 stick skewer per person. She expected my little 3-year old daughter order 5 sticks! Unbelievable! When we saw the bill, I was shocked they added some additional fee because we didn't meet mini order and they included 18% tip in the bill. I talked to the chef and the waitress came and she told us because you are the first-time customer! Unbelievable! First, we are long-time customers and we have been many times. Second, how can you know if someone come here first time? Third how can you charge more for the first time customer? Should you give more discount/ better for the first comer? The japanses lady is crazy. They charged $85 for two persons meals. I told my wife it doesn't worth to argue with her. She doesn't know how to do business even though the food is good. Who can stand with this kind of service and unreasonable overcharge??? This restaurant used to be full all the time and usually waiting for 1hour or more and today no need to wait and half full. Won't go back there.

(IT DOESN'T DESERVE ANY STAR. HOWEVER, I CAN'T PUBLISH THIS WITHOUT PUTTING ONE STAR. And if you have never been to this restaurant before, PLEASE READ!!!!) Today, my husband, my 3 years old daughter and I went to this restaurant for a dinner. The food is fine, no complaint. However, the service are terrible. When we get the check, they add 18% gratitude on our check!!! She said it is because we are new customer! But the fact is we went there so many times since they first opened! Besides, I never heard the a restaurant will change 18% for 2 adult and one 3 years old kid because she thinks we are new customer! The woman (I guess is the owner) is just horrible! So, if you never been there and have a kid, think twice before you step in! They will definitely rip you off!!!!!

I am a huge fan of Japanese food so I wanted to try this place. But this place was a total disappointment. The taste was below average, the restaurant is a tiny and has uncomfortable seats. I understand that the nature of Yakitori makes service slow but this place was extra slow. I didn't have a good time and feel like a total waste of money. Oh, another thing... too expensive..way way overpriced for what they serve. I'm so glad that I live in LA where I have other Yakitori or Japanese places to go to.
