Chef's are generally very entertaining and make the food well. Ambiance is good and they accommodate big parties well enough. The only shortcoming would be parking. Parking in the valley is generally a pain and this place isn't the exception. They charge for valet but their lot is empty whenever I go. Just an unnecessary service. Also annoys me that they advertise $6 parking for lunch but if you're reservation bleeds into dinner time you're charged the higher rate.

This place was absolutely horrible! First of all since we have been going through a heat wave you…read morewould of thought they would of known to crank up the AC, but no, it was extremely hot! The floors were dirty and everyone was sweating! We got sat with a family with a toddler and a new born who had every allergy imaginable, it took our cook so long to just take their order. Then the grill wouldn't work and no one would fix it, they would touch it and feel it wasn't heating up then say "it's not working" lol... After sitting there for about 45 minutes the grill heat up just enough to start cooking, while sitting in this crowded hot room, with smoke and stickiness the mother sitting with us starts breastfeeding without any cover, while grease and smoke is billowing around us, and their toddler screaming! The cook was frustrated beyond belief, which I don't blame him, so needless to say we did not get any kind of food cooking show you usually get when you dine at Benihana's. Amazing how we waited in this hot room for the grill to work 45 minutes then when we were eating our ice cream the bus boy starts cleaning our table, making feel rushed, so we had to wait now your rushing me out? Walking out the hostess area was absolutely packed, hot and sticky, never again, at least too this dirty location!

Very Disappointing Experience I ordered chicken from…read moreTeppanyaki and it arrived raw and uncooked. This is not just poor quality--it's a serious food safety issue. I couldn't eat it and had to throw the whole order away. Completely unacceptable for a restaurant serving chicken. I won't be ordering from here again and would not recommend it to anyone.

I never knew about this chain of restaurants until yesterday when we were expecting to be in…read moreHollywood too late to return home to Thousand Oaks before they roll up the sidewalks. They "close" at 10:30 (the place was still hopping at 10) and we arrived at a little past 9:00, figuring at that hour we wouldn't need a reservation. Think again, the place was just one click shy of a madhouse. The bar was lively and the tables were occupied mostly by 20-30 somethings in crocks and belly shirts, jabbing food in the mini fire pits and shoveling it in their mouths with the authority of hungry guard dogs. We had to wait 10 minutes or so, for a table and another 7 or so for our server to appear. It gave us a chance to peruse the menus. Yes, menus, plural. There are three laminated ones and a book with pages. Given how extensive the food menus are, the drink menu was a little unimpressive. The sake list had a few things listed, not including a Nigori. The white wine had two, Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio. We like Sauvignon Blancs but ordered the Pinot Grigio. Mezza Corona. That's what casinos comp pour at the slots in Vegas. It was fine, but not optimum. Overwhelmed by the menus and not particularly craving one thing, we decided to order the "Anniversary" dinner for two. It was a set combination of mostly proteins with the house salad and miso soup. The "poke" wasn't the usual gooey stuff seen in most raw places. It was perfect little cubes of ahi and marinated onions over a bed of pickled seaweed. The salad was large and simple, with a sesame dressing. Then... omg the proteins started to appear. Every single one was delicious. We found that putting the pork belly on the grill helped to keep the following proteins from sticking. The rice was beautifully steamed. The miso soup was even the best I've had in a long time, with lots of tofu and seaweed sinking to the bottom. I can see how this would be a great place for a group, and I can't wait to go with more friends; albeit my husband and I really enjoyed the respite. Our server, Cole, was cool and real. He didn't seem to need to pretend to be nice. He was just a sincere, caring young man. Their happy hour times are worth noting. They're happy throughout the day and night with the exception of 6:30 - 8:30 pm. There is a happy hour combination menu you might want to consider, especially if you've never been here and just want to see what's going on. There are AYCE choices which might come in handy if you're really into some favorites. There's also a big thing about Wagyu. Eh. Different strokes I guess. We'll definitely be back. We really enjoyed the experience. We reduced one star for the silly valet parking and the not-so-great wine list.

How does one determine that a Japanese restaurant is fantastic? First you start with the ambience, then you start with a selection of the menu, then you look at the presentation of each plate and dish and the creative reiteration of that dish.

And it hits all the marks of a truly wonderful Japanese restaurant. This restaurant is so good that even living in Orange County, what desires to go back into the valley, which is quite a jaunt.
