    8/5/2026 - Once again, this 11-Course Omakase has the best price for the money in Los Angeles. It is worth noting that the seared scallop, truffle butter this time is far better than the two small scallops that we had last time. Please stay with the one large scallop whenever possible! The services are excellent!

    A typical fancy omakase meal that I'm not sure if I would come back. The menu only had 2 choices, wagyu or seafood set, $128 person. I enjoy most of the food, out of 11 courses, there 4 dishes with different type of steak, while the meat is good I think I expected more creativity?( Caz honestly I could probably do that at home myself with the quality of the meat). I feel the restaurant lacks decoration compare to most fancy upscale restaurant, so without the atmosphere, the vibe, the setting. I think the experience would be for food for the most part ... and I feel like they could make it more fancy if that make sense

    Omaniku was one of my favorite meals of the year! Came here to celebrate my wedding anniversary and was delighted with the experience. It is located inside of the Sheraton hotel and everything inside is quite modern. The restaurant has a lounge steakhouse vibe to it. We made reservation using Resy for a Wednesday night. We ordered the Omaniku menu set which comes with 11 items and added a number of add ons to make the menu more spectacular. I recommend to try everything. Food tasted delicious, presentation was memorable, and the staff were spectacular. The drink menu was limited but had great options. I will definitely be dining here again!

    Omaniku...oh man, where to start. It's tucked away in a Sheraton hotel; we went on a Monday night and there was only one other table serviced the entire time we were there. Felt like a private dining experience. We ordered one seafood menu and one beef menu and EVERY. DISH. WAS. 100/100! From the presentation, to the flavors, to the service - it was delectable! We added the Bone Marrow Rice and it was a hit. Soft yet crunchy hot rice in a clay pot, glossy fattening bone marrow, tender meat and a raw egg...what's not to love? The seared scallop with truffle butter was a delicious dish. The scallop was seared perfectly with a soft moist tender inside. The Unicrab was a close runner-up. I love uni and this dish was fresh, soft and buttery. The cold ice presentation was pretty cool too. Service was great, there was always someone near by to help answer questions and food came out promptly. If you enjoy eating fatty, tender meat and seafood and have a healthy liver, good cholesterol levels, or a low lipid panel...this is a must try.

    It is a nice restaurant with the right ambiance. Drinks are good and the bartender was so attentive. As for the food, between meat and seafood, I would recommend to pick seafood over the meat as it is too overwhelming with no dish to cleanse your palette or vegetables dishes. The sauces were used tasted the same for almost all of them. As for the seafood, I would say the shrimp and the lobster were overcooked a bit. The spaghetti was very lacking in term of flavor and dry. Overall, if you're there for the alcohol then it is worth it.

    Omaniku is a fine dining restaurant located in the Sheraton hotel in San Gabriel. Guests have the option between a beef or seafood tasting menu. We came as a party of 9 for my friend's birthday and all opted for the beef - the Omaniku tasting course. We were seated in a private room. It was relatively quiet with few other guests. The ambiance didn't feel quite right. I felt like I was sitting in a hotel lobby or an office conference room as opposed to a luxury restaurant. The lighting was a bit too bright, and the table, made up of several other tables with a tablecloth on top, had several bumps and gaps.  I started with a Tokyo Night cocktail from the bar, which set me back $18. Sake base with grapefruit, grated ginger, nutmeg, and sparkling water. It was good. Sweet and refreshing with a strong rice wine flavor. The actual meal left me disappointed. It started strong enough. First, we had the Butterfly Yuzu Cleanser, a palate cleanser made of butterfly pea flower and yuzu. Then, our servers brought each of us an ornate black sphere. Opening it revealed a cloud of mist and a "one bite" beef tartare topped with uni and served on a nori cracker. The uni was fresh and buttery and melded beautifully with the raw beef. The nori gave a nice surprising crispness. The A5 Amuse was good too - more beef tartare served on a "one bite" spoon with truffle jelly. For me, the meal reached its peak here. I found fault with the remaining courses in one way or another whether it be their flavor pairing or quality of cooking. The next dish for example, the USDA prime skirt, was cooked tenderly, but its natural juiciness and aroma were vastly overpowered by the ponzu sauce and onion. The ponzu was very tangy. The onion was sweet, caramelized, and biting. All together, however, it was too much and the meat did not shine. In addition, there was too much onion. In terms of volume, I felt like there was more onion than meat on the plate. The chive on top was just overkill. Next was the short rib, which was largely unimpressive. The meat itself tasted bland with most of the flavor coming from the dill garnish. In this dish, the eggplant, which should have just been a side, outshined the beef. The vegetable trio dish was refreshing. I liked the pickled bamboo shoot and the tangy sauce. The green beans kinda just tasted like cold green beans. We then received a crab chawanmushi on the house because it was my friend's birthday. It was one of the better dishes of the night. The egg was silky, warm, and filling. The broth was umami and delicious. Then, we were each served an overcooked scallop with a side of garlic bread. The scallop was very disappointing. It was tiny. The texture was all wrong - mealy, stringy, and tough. It did not taste fresh. I was not getting truffle from the truffle butter. The broth and scallop were bland. The best thing on the plate was the garlic bread. The ribeye was fine. I don't remember much about it other than it was served with a Bordelaise sauce. The A5 Wagyu with goma sauce was.. Fine. Objectively, it tasted good. But when I compare it to similar dishes I've had, I wasn't too impressed. I think it was slightly overcooked as the edges were a bit charred. It was not as tender and buttery of a bite as I was expecting for A5 Wagyu. The bone marrow rice was a huge let down. I don't know why they chose to sear the bone marrow. It looked dry before they even began mixing it. I did not taste the bone marrow in the rice. I was expecting a fatty richness to coat the grains of rice, but I did not get that at all.  Mango pudding was good. At $128 per person, this tasting menu is definitely expensive. Was the food disgusting? No. It was decent. But at this price, I was expecting so much more and was severely disappointed

    Came here to celebrate a birthday with a reservation. At $128 for 11 courses, pretty reasonable. However, it was hit or miss for both the beef and seafood. Some courses were oddly more salty than others. If I had to pick between the two, I think seafood edges out the beef course, as the beef tended to be saltier more often. I don't recommend drinks, as they weren't memorable, and it's a separate check (served from the Sheraton bar) Got a chawanmushi on the house for SO's birthday. It was probably our fave thing - so silky, tasty, and hearty. 1. BUTTERFLY YUZU CLEANSER: Butterfly Pea Flower Tea blended with Japanese Yuzu. This is always a refreshing palette cleanser 2. UNIniku "Gold" Grade Beef Tartare with Truffle-Infused Yakiniku, Crispy Nori, and Fresh Uni. SO liked this beef more than the Seafood version which was topped with Dungeness Crab, which was more fishy than I would've liked. I did very much like the way it was served in a bowl of liquid nitrogen - that was quite cool. 3. a5 wagyu amuse A5 Wagyu Tartare served with in-house Ponzu Jelly. 3. seasonal oyster, ponzu jelly Fresh Seasonal Oyster topped with Delicate Ponzu Jelly. Small but tasty 4. SRF "GOLD" Outside Skirt, Ponzu sauce Snake River Farms Gold Grade Outside Skirt Finished with Ponzu 4. tiger prawns, Tangy mayo Seared Tiger Prawns served with Tangy Mayo. sizeable shrimps! yummy 5. srf "Gold" Short Rib, boursin yakiniku Gold Grade American Wagyu Short Rib with Boursin Yakiniku. we liked the boursin more than the meat... 5. Branzino, tomato sauce Branzino paired with a Tomato White Wine Reduction: crispy and yummy! 6. Celadon Trinity Ponzu Marinated Spring Mix with sliced Cucumber, Tomato, & Bamboo Shoots. Super refreshing, and one of our fave course. 7. seared scallops, truffle butter Pan-Seared Scallop served with Rich Truffle Butter and Crispy Garlic Toast. toast was yummy, scallop was pretty good too. Truffle butter on the saltier side. 8. SRF "GOLD" Ribeye Inside, Bordelaise Gold Grade American Wagyu Ribeye Inside Cut served with Bordelaise Sauce: not memorable 8. lobster tail, compound butter Lobster Tail served with Compound Butter (cooked with various spices): pretty good! 9. a5 wagyu, goma sauce Japanese A5 Wagyu paired with Nutty Sesame Goma Dressing 9. crab cake Savory Fried Crab Cake served with Snow Pea Purée. not impressed by this; also fishier than I would've liked 10. Bone marrow rice Rich Bone Marrow Rice Topped with Prime Beef, Egg Yolk, & Crispy Nori. saltyyyy 10. Creamy pasta Rich and Creamy Spaghetti Noodle topped with Snow Crab. Less heavy, compared to the bone marrow rice. i liked it! 11. Mango pudding Light and Refreshing Mango Pudding topped with Fresh Fruits and Mint. Tasty! Birthday dessert was a frozen version of the mango pudding with an artistic cherry blossom tree made with chocolate/matcha powders. so cool! Service was fast and friendly. I would recommend others to try this place, especially for an occasion - more so for the experience than for the food. Parking was validated and easy.

    Food and service are great , worth to try if you are in San Gabriel area. Either beef or seafood 11 courses dinner. It's just perfect portion.

    This is the birthday special "bone marrow Bomb"

    If you've never been here before, you absolutely have to give it a try. This is our go-to spot for birthdays and anniversaries, and they never disappoint us. The service is consistently attentive--they check in often, and our glasses are never empty. Our Server Dora is truly amazing. She always takes such great care of our group and makes every visit feel special. The food is consistently delicious, and the pricing is very reasonable for both the quality and portion sizes. We almost always end up taking food to go, which we really appreciate since many places don't allow that--especially while charging much higher prices. Their drink menu is also fantastic, and the kids' meals are always a hit. We'll definitely keep coming back for future celebrations. Thank you Omaniku! Thank you so much, Dora--we highly recommended!

    this is a hidden fancy omakase located in the hilton san gabriel. overall, i think the food is good but it's quite pricy especially with add-ons of drinks. you can choose between the meat and seafood menus, which we tried both of. by the end, we were all very full and a little overwhelmed with the richness of all the food. with the meat menu, i felt like it got a bit repetitive and became too heavy by the end that we had to take the final rice dish home. service was good as expected, nothing too crazy. I think the ambiance is quiet but nice. but also we are in the middle of the SGV so i feel like it takes away a little bit of the niceness compared to being in LA. and you could get similarly priced omakase meals in LA as well where there is more to do after. overall, i think it was a good experience to try but not sure if i'd do it again.

    My friend took me here for my birthday. The reservation was for lunch around 12pm on a Sunday. There is a good amount of street parking around and it's located inside the Sheraton San Gabriel hotel. There was no wait and maybe one other table when we arrived. The decor and interior are very nice and welcoming. I ordered the seafood tasting course and my bestie ordered the regular tasting course. I really enjoyed the uni crab and Wellington sea bass. I liked the bone marrow rice more from the regular tasting course over the one from the seafood but both menus are very good. Service was overall good and accommodating to my bestie who was pregnant to make sure everything fit the dietary needs. The lemon cheesecake at the end was definitely the most beautiful and shoe shopping. It actually also tasted very nice. Light and lemony so it was more refreshing than decadent. I enjoyed it here and the tasting course is more a special occasion type of thing for me, still reasonably priced for the quality and presentation.

    Wagyu, very tasty

    Is this same management as Yakiya? Menu looks similar.

    Far from it...Yakiya is significantly better.

    I've been here a few times and would say the food is pretty good. I don't think there is anything…read moresuper special, but the food overall was good. The service was also very good and accommodating, especially since I came in with a party of 8. Here are my thoughts on the food: Spicy Beef Tripe - I actually really enjoyed this one. It was cold and had good flavors. (4/5) Shrimp Fried Rice - It was simple, but it was good. Nothing over the top, just a simple classic. (4/5) Pan Fried Dumpling - It was delicious, had good flavors, and was juicy. (4.5/5) Beef Udon - Another simple dish, but it was good. Nothing overly done, just a nice carb to have. (4/5) Beef Roll - Best thing they have for sure. Nice flavors and made perfectly. (5/5) Pan Fried Bao - Pretty good. It had juice inside, and the meat was tasty. (4.5/5) Popcorn Chicken - We got this one mild, and they basically didn't put any spice on it. TBH, it lacked flavor, and besides being pretty crispy, it definitely needed some spice. (3/5) Beef Noodle Soup - It was good and pretty traditional. (4/5) Overall, most of the food was good but not spectacular IMO. It's a solid place to eat if you're looking for pretty good food, and the price isn't too bad! Parking - Now this stings because this lot SUCKS. If you come during peak hours, just pray because it's a very popular lot with plenty of good restaurants, so it gets crowded. I ended up exiting and driving south to the first local street, where you can park and walk over.

They were perfectly crispy on the outside, had lots of filling inside, and came with 6 big pieces. It also had a side of veggies and fish sauce, which I love using to wrap my egg rolls. The golden delight pho had rare meat and noodles to the side, while the other toppings came inside the sizzling pot of broth. It had lots of noodles and toppings: tripe, rare beef, tendon, meat balls, and brisket. Pho was really rich in flavor. I also loved that the sizzling pots kept the broth hot the whole time. Noodles were also very bouncy, loved the texture. Beef short ribs were also very tender and full of flavor. Although it was very busy during a Tuesday lunch hour, the waiters sat us asap. The restaurant was pretty full but the food still came out really quick. Servers were really nice and attentive. They checked on us a few times. The restaurant has lots of tables and it was clean. It gave an overall homey- atmosphere. I would definitely come here again. Pho is a great price for its quality!

    Okay so I'll be the first to admit -- this place has been sitting right under my nose for who knows…read morehow long and somehow I never made it in. Honestly? Embarrassing. Moving on. So yeah, it's another Vietnamese spot in Rosemead. And before you say anything -- yes, it's a pho review. Again. Look, I don't make the rules, I just eat the soup. This place does something a little different though. Their thing is the earth stone bowl -- basically a heated stone bowl that keeps your broth stupid hot while all your toppings come on the side in separate little dishes. Cool concept, very extra, I respect the commitment. But here's the thing -- it was hot outside. Like uncomfortably, aggressively, why-am-I-outside hot. So sweating over a volcanic bowl of soup wasn't exactly on my agenda. I went with the regular bowl, picked two types of beef and tendon, and called it a day. First sip of the broth and I genuinely had to put the spoon down for a second. Not in a dramatic way -- just in a "okay, this is actually really good" kind of way. It holds up against every other spot I've been to, no question. But what got me was the flavor -- there's something subtle going on in there that's hard to put your finger on but impossible to ignore. The kind of broth that just works and doesn't need to explain itself. The toppings were solid, but the tendon was lowkey the highlight. Soft, chewy, not rubbery -- exactly what you want. Some places fumble the tendon. These guys didn't. Iced tea on the side, Saturday afternoon, nothing else going on -- honestly doesn't get much better than that. Should've come here sooner. My loss.

    First time trying Yang's Kitchen for brunch and the standout was definitely the cold sesame…read morenoodles. We added avocado, which gave it a nice richness against the creamy, nutty noodles. We also got the Japanese Breakfast with sausage patty, boiled egg, pickles, Japanese sweet potato, and multigrain rice. Simple, filling, and really well put together. I also appreciate that they list out the vendors they source from. It gives the whole place a thoughtful, farm to table type of feel.

    We visited Yang's Kitchen for brunch due to its high rating. We went there on a rainy Sunday around…read more10:00 AM. The place was already packed. We put our name down on the waiting list. The waitress politely told us that they would only seat us once the whole party was present, which was reasonable. When the whole party arrived, they seated us within 10 minutes. Ambiance: 4 out of 5 stars. The ambiance of the place was modern and casual. Food: 4 out of 5 stars. The restaurant focuses on farm-to-table and local sourcing. We ordered all three shareables and a few other dishes: Cold Sesame Noodle: 3 out of 5 stars. Even though it seems to be highly rated, I didn't really taste anything special. Roasted Squash and Kale Salad: 3 out of 5 stars. The taste is decent. I wish we had more squash. Not that tasty. It is difficult with all that kale. Mochi Pancake: 5 out of 5. We all loved the pancake, the jam, and the cream. Fried Chicken Wings: 5 out of 5. It is marinated, flavorful, and not greasy. Crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Breakfast Plate with Hanger Steak: 5 out of 5. The steak is perfectly cooked. The egg was soft and fluffy. Value: 4 out of 5 stars. For $28, I wish we got a larger portion of hanger steak. Other than that, good value. Service: 5 out of 5.

    Crazy deals!! Quality is okay but good for its cheap prices And allows take-out for some!! $7.99…read more5pm-10pm Super DINNER SPECIAL right now!!!! Regular ALL DAY $10.99 special going on + $3.88 BRUNCH SPECIAL until 3pm, + spend $50 to get a FREE MEST DISH too!!! Is it worth it? Yes for us, and our lowered expectations to match it's prices. It'll take another visit from us to decide if we still rather go back to just Taste of MP for lunch special. Overall, this place is less salty, saucy and oily than many places, in a good way! All the food to soup came out piping hot!! DEALS Listed Below: a) Dinner Special Special $7.99 from 5pm-10pm right now!!!! No order to-go/take out; Dine-in only. b) Regular All Day Specials - $10.99 Lots of Dishes!!! Lunch special 10am-5pm (soup and rice included), Dinner Special 5pm-10pm (dessert included). AND you can order to-go/take-out vs dine-in only. I assume the included items are for dine-in only? c) Dim Sum Special $3.88 from 10am-3pm. Cheap and decent for price. d) $50 minimum spend and get 1 free meat dish to go: Chicken, Pork, Duck. Ducks was whatever. I imagine chicken being good here since our roasted pork was whatever too. The For a Thursday 1:20pmish, not crowded but not empty. We ordered lunch specials and dim sum special. And ws surprised with a free meat dish for spending $50. Staff were nice, can understand English. Soup was actually pretty good. Rice is typical, nothing different. $10.99 Roasted Pork $10.99 Steamed chicken with ear wood mushrooms $10.99 Garlic Eggplant $10.99 Stir-Fried Sting Beans. $0 Duck since we spent over $50. - The meats were whatever. Veggies were okay. $3.88+ Dim Sum 10am-3pm: $3.88 Har Gow (Shrimp Dumpling). $3.88 Chicken Feet. Dim sum items were okay. Nothing too spectacular. It's wasn't bad. But wonder if I would visit just for dim sum, then can decide if it's worth the cheapness. $1.75 per person for tea. It seems have become a regular thing everywhere now to charge for tea :( We still feel Taste of MVP is the best quality and variety lunch special place so far. Big Ma's Kitchen would #1 in price for its quality!! Big Ma's Kitchen dishes are less salty, oily and saucey (in a good way) than many typical canto places now. Lunch or/and Dinner Special Competitiors like Grand Harbour (cheap list doesn't offer good enough picks, medium low quality), Red 99 (limited menu too, packed), Longten Cafe (low quality), Fuxing Springs (worst in quality), Tin Tin (remembered it to be westernized chinese food awhile back?), etc. Any lunch or dinner specials you like better? Welcome to share with me! Always looking for better deals!!

    Came here with my family for a late lunch and unfortunately left very disappointed. Our fried pork…read morecame out cold, and the chow mein was not what we wanted. When we asked to order a different one, we were told the staff was eating and they couldn't make it. Our waiter was also rude and dismissive, often responding with "wait a minute" when we asked for something. Our bill was over $235.75, and for that price, we expected much better food and service. Unfortunately, the overall experience was very disappointing.

    OMG! If you're craving some REALLY good lobster and want to get your money's worth, Boston Lobster…read moreis definitely worth trying! I came here with a friend, just the two of us, and the portions were HUGE. We ordered a lobster that was around 3-4 pounds, and the lobster is priced per pound. I believe we had the Boston Lobster House Special, and we added the noodles for about $10 extra. Let me tell you and it did NOT disappoint. The lobster was incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely mouthwatering. The noodles soaked up all that flavor from the lobster and seasoning, and everything together was just delicious. I kept wanting to eat even though I was already getting full! It is a little pricey, especially depending on the size of the lobster you choose, but they give you A LOT of food. There were only two of us, and we each had enough food left over to take home and have another full meal. Honestly, the amount we ordered could have easily fed four people. We also had the shrimp fried rice, which was delicious, and even the lemon iced tea was really good. I wanted to try more things, but there was absolutely no way, we already had so much food! This is definitely more of a family-style dining experience. In my opinion, this isn't your typical quick Chinese food spot or chain restaurant. The quality, freshness, portions, and overall experience put Boston Lobster on another level. I also loved the atmosphere. We sat near the live seafood tanks, so you can actually see the lobsters and other seafood in the tanks, which added to the experience. They also have their own private parking lot with two-hour parking, which is a huge plus. We didn't have reservations and were able to get seated, but I could definitely see this place getting crowded, so reservations may be helpful during busier times. For me, Boston Lobster is easily FIVE STARS. If you're in the Rosemead area looking for delicious Asian seafood and some seriously good lobster, I definitely recommend it. Just make sure you come HUNGRY!

    First time going to Boston Lobster with the fam, and it was a hit! We went during lunch, and I…read morethink this was the first time I've ever seen this place without a line, so I was definitely happy to skip the wait. The service was really great and fast. They kept switching out our plates whenever they got filled with empty shells, so we always had a clean plate. The inside was also pretty nice, and you can see all the fish and lobsters in the tanks. Overall, it was a great experience! Definitely on the pricier side, but we had a good time and the food and service made it worth it. Food was everything we expected! We got: Steamed turbo fish 10/10 - it was really flavorful and the ginger and onions on top was an amazing touch. Clams w basil - was very good and fresh. We couldn't stop eating it 10/10 House special lobster - was fire!! It was very easy to take out the shell and it was so tasty. Would definitely recommend! 100/10 French beef - not the star of the show but still was really flavorful! 9/10 Sour soup - it was a good soup and tasted like all the other sour soup nothing too special :) 8/10 Ong choy - we needed some vegetable on the table and steamed ong choy w garlic was really good and refreshing. 10/10 Fried rice - matched w everything we were eating 9/10
