Have noticed this place for awhile and finally decided to go and try it. It's in a small strip mall with a share parking lot and a donut shop next to it. The owner is very nice and explained the menu on the wall and advised us to take our time. While there, noticed there was a continuation of business in the form of customers walking in to place their orders, picking up their food or calling in. We ordered three items and each was an extremely large portion and flavorful. I could tell they care about this business given the attention and returning customers.
Reasonably priced, lots of food! I've always enjoyed there plates of both barbecue and teriyaki chicken as well as beef and short ribs. Better than all of the rice bowl chains throughout all of LA County.
Very good fried chicken, but the katsu and short rib combo was just ok. Pics will show very little meat on the ribs and texture was a little off, like meat after using tenderizer. Flavor was ok, but couldn’t get past the texture and didn’t finish the little beef there was on the bone.
Also a bit disappointed that they didn’t have ox tail in any shape or form, which was the main reason for visit. Fried chicken was to retry great, so not a wasted trip but not the best one either.
Service was very friendly and you can call ahead like I did, so definitely worth another shot when ox tail is back in stock.
