Our Server, Evan was the best and made a difference in our experience. He was attentive, kind, knowledgeable, respectful, courteous and absolutely on top of everything. He didn’t miss a beat. He had wonderful recommendations and if a plate wasn’t delicious he took care of it. Evan is the reason we would return!

Quite simply my favorite restaurant in the world. I’m from Costa Rica, and every single time I travel to Los Angeles or Chicago, making a stop here is an absolute must and I go as many times as I possibly can. Excellent service, excellent food, excellent ambiance. Thank you for being so memorable. See you soon! 🫶🏽

i came here for a birthday/anniversary celebration with my boyfriend and since we looked like a bunch of kids, i was ready to get ignored the whole night like we always do but it was the exact opposite. our server JC was amazing and even the freaking manager or owner was checking up on us frequently too. we always get treated like a couple of bums from other fine dining restaurants but we didnt here so thank you 🥹 this was my second time here and the food always hits, the pesto pasta was sooo good, its the kind of food that you daydream about 🤤 i tipped $26 on a $114 bill but i found out that wasnt even 25% so i felt really bad but ill be back again so ill make up for it, thank you !

Party of two promptly seated. We chose to sit indoors as the dining room was less crowded than the outdoors patio. Service was prompt. We ordered a few different rolls and small plates. Ordered a nice bottle of Sake. All in, a great time for a tourist couple seeking a great dinner. Eats & drinks + tip was $190.

10/10 experience! Everything about this place was amazing, from the food and drinks to the atmosphere and live mariachi! The mariachi was incredible and really made the whole experience that much better. The food was delicious, the drinks were on point, and the service was honestly some of the best I’ve had. Huge shoutout to our server Sebastian! He went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of the entire night. Super attentive, friendly, and always checking in on us without us ever having to ask for anything. You can tell he genuinely cares about providing great service. Sebastian definitely made our experience even better! If you come here, I highly recommend asking for him. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!

    As always, I love the exceptional selection and quality of the meats. The vegetables are consistently fresh and top quality, and the ambiance and staff are always wonderful.

    Everything was amazing I was just sad to give them a small amount of tip since I had a limit budget to pay from business trip. They have the best Korean barbeque and it was even better than food I had in Korea

    Beautifully served and delicious. We were closer to the lunch time and wanted the chile rellenos we’d had before but were not on the brunch menu. Our waiter assured us we could have them anyway and had them made for us. Warm soft tortillas, perfect beans and divine margaritas. We’ll be back!
