Stopped by a couple weeks ago to pick up some dinner. I had seen the truck countless times when I've been in the area and been dying to try it. Only one person had ordered ahead of me and it took about 20 minutes to get my two plates. Very friendly service and took Zelle or cash as payment. Great flavor and quality. Huge portions and had leftovers for lunch the next day. I do wish they had an all seafood option - would've love a shrimp and lobster plate, or scallops? Either way a good truck, I would definitely order from again.

NY Steak and Shrimp
Mason T.

Overpriced, missing items, extremely long wait While visiting this food truck at a food truck venue called What The Truck, I ordered one item (NY steak and shrimp combo) which I was told comes with fried rice and veggies. I ordered the meat to be cooked medium. I waited well over an hour for my food, and was never informed about an extremely long wait. Everyone that ordered around me waited this long if not longer. When I finally received my food, my order was missing veggies, and the rice was plain and undercooked. The meat was also well done and very hard to chew. This experience was not worth $30, or my time.

Filet Mignon. It was pretty good. I highly recommend.

Ordered the filet mignon. It was pretty good. Highly recommend. They give you a bunch of delicious sauces too. I'm going back for sure.

Hibachi Truck
Anton F.

Have tried this food truck in a few different locations and they all are consistently delicious and pricey. Hibachi style rice dishes with vegetables and your choice of meat, including filet mignon and lobster. The cooking takes a little while but always smoking hot when served., hopefully there isn't a line. This truck has been at this location consistently for about a year and has a decent following.

I recently tried the Aji hibachi Teppanyaki food truck, and my experience was mixed. It was my third choice since my regular spot was closed. Unfortunately, they didn't offer any steak options that evening, which was disappointing. Furthermore, they didn't get my order right despite my request for spicy rice on both items. The salmon was overcooked, and the chicken turned out dry. However, I must say that the shrimp was a standout, being quite decent. On a positive note, the food truck's location was convenient and easily accessible. They were generous with portion sizes, and the staff was friendly. Reasonable prices were a plus, and the speedy service was appreciated. I also liked the option to dine at the truck, which had an atmosphere resembling that of a chain restaurant. Overall, while there were some shortcomings in the food quality and order accuracy, the affordability, location, and friendly service make it a reasonable choice, especially if you're looking for a quick hibachi or teppanyaki fix. (Side bar -- we order chicken fried rice for both the bowl and plate as well as paid extra and they didn't not add chicken to either)

Supposed to be steak and chicken combo with fried rice. Only got two pieces of steak and no veggies, rice was under cooked

Not even one star ! Terrible service and awful food! Don't ever order anything from them. We waited for an hour and half for terrible food.

Filet Mignon and Lobster Combination Plate
Argentina W.

Can't say enough great things about Aji Teppanyaki! Not only is the flavor amazing, but the service and prices can't be beat. My first time trying this place, but hands down beats the typical restaurants you would go to in the valley. This is my new go to for Teppanyaki. Meat - seasoned and cooked to perfection; Lobster - buttery and divine; fried rice - fluffy and drool inducing; veggies - perfectly sautéed and plentiful; sauces - beyond reproach! If you go anywhere else, you're wasting your money. So thankful we found Aji Teppanyaki! Ernesto puts his heart, sweat and tears into his food and it shows.

The sauces!
Brenda D.

Last minute random food stop, the quoted wait time was 20min for a chicken and steak plate but it was ready sooner. They also had a 2 dish deal for $40 bucks even which was cool. Steak quality was great. Fried rice was delicious. The chicken was also very good but I'd do steak and try the shrimp next time. Veggies were also cooked just right; not over or under cooked. The sauces were also very tasty! The funny thing is I've been to other tepenyaki sit down restaurants and the food was not as great as the food here. Overall great food truck experience and would try again if in the area!

sauces.they only gave 1 white sauce even though I think I did ask them to give us more....
Kristine J.

This place is more like 2 stars. But COVID! We had to wait a long time for our food. I don't think the owners/chefs of this food truck are asian...and I mean, the food isn't the best teppanyaki. It's still better to eat at actual teppanyaki restaurants. Couldn't really distinguish ny steak from the more expensive filet mignon. But I think my bf said it was the new york steak that I liked more (he's more of a steak fan). The fm had too much of a red meat aftertaste, don't know how else to describe it. White sauce was lacking, though we asked for more. The other sauces were just ok. Shrimp and rice were super ok. I wished the fried rice tasted better, it was pretty plain.

Is it possible to have a true teppanyaki expierence from a truck? Well the whole expierence is just not possible when trying to watch the show from the sidewalk, but the food was what you would expect from a high end Teppanyaki resturant, but so was the prices. The quality of the food was good, and cooked well. Flavors were also pretty good, though I thought the beef lacked some real flavor. The highlight for me was the grilled vegetables (cooked perfectly and I don't rave about veggies) and the garlic rice. Like I said the prices were high for a food truck but average for a resturant of this style, so if you want the flavor minus the show then Aji is the perfect combo for you, Aloha

NY Steak and Chicken Combination Plate
Charlie R.

Had Aji tonight parked on Laurel Canyon at Ritchie Valens park. They took my order and gave me exactly that, NY steak (medium rare) and chicken. Food was really good and one of the guys that brought out my order was nice enough to give me a soda with my order! Also not stingy with the sauce! If you want a hibachi plate that won't disappoint 10/10 recommend.

Worm in my food

I went to get a plate of teppanyaki that I have been craving for a while and had not been able to eat because of interior cervical surgery that I had. I was so excited to enjoy this and as I was eating I came to this disgusting surprise a worm in my food. I am so disappointed will never go back.

I have no idea if some of these reviewers even know what they're complaining about, like the "miso"…read moresoup that's actually consommé, and is very tasty. Maybe it doesn't have an Insta ready wall for fancy pics but it's a hidden gem that's been run by the same award winning chef for decades. There are pictures of him with generations of famous people from the world over who eat here so that speak speaks for itself. Also, he must be over 80 and he still greets and seats every customer personally. The place has been around a while so one might consider it a bit "rustic" and sure there's a wait, but that's because this place has stood the test of time and still turns out incredible food and service. And no, like the other reviewers said, there's no sushi but this is an authentic teppan whose focus is grilled food...and they're great at it

It's still run by a Japanese family and feels more closer to a homey Japanese-American mom and pop. All the little photos and drawings give it a nice touch. Food was great and portions were generous. However, if you like medium rare food or fat on your steak, make sure to ask for rare and to keep the fat. The norm I think is most people want really lean and well done. My fam prefers stuff more rare and if you like it rare too, keep that in mind. The grill also contributes to cooking the food more well done. Overall, give Mori a try if you're in the area.

A Hidden Gem with an Unforgettable Experience!…read more Maison Kasai has such a cool, mysterious atmosphere. Hidden behind a bookshelf inside a bar it gives you that exclusive speakeasy vibe right from the start. After placing our orders, we were entertained by a magician who was absolutely hilarious! The magic and humor made the evening even more enjoyable. For dinner, we ordered the Duck Confit, Chilean Sea Bass, Lion's Mane Mushroom Katsu, and Wagyu New York Steak. Once the chef stepped in and began preparing our courses, I knew we were in for something special. Every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully executed. The two standouts for me were definitely the Lion's Mane Mushroom Katsu and Duck Confit. Both were incredibly memorable and full of flavor. You can really tell the chef takes pride in bringing out the best in every dish. Overall, Maison Kasai offers more than just a great meal. Between the hidden speakeasy entrance, entertaining magic show, and outstanding food, the entire evening was an experience. Definitely a spot worth checking out in Los Angeles!

However, the service and the way the bill was handled completely changed my opinion. Throughout the meal, our server did the bare minimum, rarely checking on us or refilling our water. When the bill arrived, I noticed it included a 20% gratuity along with a 3% credit card surcharge. Since I had cash, I handed the server $40 and asked for my change. That's when he told me they don't have change because the restaurant is cashless and showed me a sign. I then pointed out that the menu I was given never mentioned a 3% credit card surcharge. I also questioned how it made sense to advertise being cashless while charging customers an extra fee for using a credit card. The server insisted the online menu disclosed the fee and claimed that "everywhere charges a credit card surcharge," which simply isn't true. After I challenged it, he suddenly offered to remove the surcharge and brought back a revised bill for $25.45. When I decided to pay that amount with my credit card instead, he told me he would have to add the 3% fee back. Fortunately, I had exactly $25.45 in cash, so I left that amount on the table and left. It honestly felt like he expected me to leave the original amount without questioning it. After getting home, I checked the restaurant's online menu myself. I could not find any disclosure about a 3% credit card surcharge. I also noticed that the menu states the 20% automatic gratuity only applies to parties of six or more, and our party was smaller than that. The food may have been good, but hidden fees, inconsistent explanations, and poor service ruined what should have been a pleasant meal. I won't be returning.

The tofu sampler was very solid in my opinion, which if you like a strong soy flavor, this appetizer is for you. I've never had tofu presented this way so it was a unique experience, although loosely reminds me of the Chinese version of tofu dessert but firmer. Fun to interact with the different salt adds too. The chirashi set bowl was also an excellent value for what you get. It definitely fills you up and the fish cuts are very nice. They even offer to fry your shrimp head to add to the experience. Also I think the service was great. There was clearly a new person in training so she may have messed up our tofu sampler presentation by perhaps pairing the wrong salt with the wrong tofu but the regular staff was quick to address. The newer member also charged us a beer by accident but that was corrected too.

Now that I'm in Long Beach, I've been hunting for great barbecue spots, and I found Hikari through Yelp and Google. The verdict up front: I love this place, it's criminally underrated, and I'll absolutely be back. When we arrived, it was emptier than I expected -- which honestly surprised me later, because I learned they've been open ten years, even before COVID. That alone tells you something about the quality that keeps them going. The interior is really cute, and the service was lovely. Our server was a beautiful Japanese woman -- I wish I'd caught her name -- and she was warm and thoroughly professional. Japanese barbecue can get confusing when you're choosing between all the different cuts, and she walked us through each type of meat patiently, with genuinely great recommendations. Now, the thing that won me over: they brought actual charcoal. As a Persian, I have strong opinions about barbecue -- we only grill over charcoal, for the flavor and texture nothing else gives you -- and I've rarely seen another joint do this. It immediately set them apart. We went with the chef's special, a prix-fixe where the chef sends out his selection, and every single cut was delicious. The food was so good that after seeing my photos, my Japanese friend messaged to say I clearly know my Japanese food -- which I'll happily take as a compliment. This place deserves so much more attention than it gets. I'll definitely be coming back with friends.
