Came here on a late Saturday evening, since we drive by this place so much. Decided to give this restaurant a try with the AYCE Premium. We mainly used the Nigiri's and couple rolls. Service was a bit slow at times, and whenever a server would come by to serve us one of them would slam the cup on the table. The hostess I will say has top notch customer service, he was great! For some reason the fishes did not seem fresh to me, and I guess you can say I stopped ordering at some point. Would I come back? Probably not, I have had more tastier and fresher tuna and other fishes. This place did not catch our eye, but at least my husband and I can say we tried it. The ordering process was a bit confusing, using a QR code for strictly appetizers only, then using two pieces of paper for ordering sushi menu. Split nigiri's and then sushi rolls. We did not get a drink menu, until later on.
Rice to fish ratio here is AMAZING. So eating nigiri doesn't make you full fast like other places. They also have unlimited salmon belly and scallop nigiri, which is hard to come by. Even though I don't like AYCE that much, out of all the ayce restaurants I would definitely come back again. No parking issues. Service is fast. Ambience is whatever, just come for the food and you shall be satisfied.
We came on a Saturday afternoon and were seated as soon as we arrived. Parking wasn't an issue it's in a plaza. The restaurant was a decent size, with a variety of tables and booths, including a few tables near the bar. Our waitress brought us a menu along with a paper order sheet for the sushi. There were both à la carte and AYCE options, and we chose the AYCE option, which was $38.95 per person on the weekend. For the side dishes, they use a QR code menu. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a five-minute wait between orders, although I believe you can order multiple items at once. Side dishes were just ok. I did feel that the service was on the slower side, especially since the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. It took around 20-30 minutes for our first order to come out. As for the sushi, it was good overall. The fish-to-rice ratio was decent, and I appreciated that they didn't overload the sushi with rice. The portions felt well-balanced, making it easy to enjoy the fish without feeling like I was mostly eating rice. My favorites were probably the uni, yellowtail, and bluefin tuna toro nigiri. The hand rolls were a little disappointing, as they were smaller than I expected. However, if you prefer smaller hand rolls, then the size may be just right for you.
I came here for dinner and there was a small wait before I got seated. They only offer premium ayce for dinner. I ordered different appetizers and nigiri. My favorites was shishito peppers, yellowtail nigiri, and the bluefin tuna toro. The cut for each fish was inconsistent for the nigiris. Some pieces were smaller than the others. It was still good and yummy though. Overall, this is a good ayce sushi spot. It is worth for the price. I love how the fish is fresh and they give less rice for each nigiri piece.
Had a fun, casual lunch date at CHOBOP AYCE Sushi! We went with the Premium menu, and there were so many options to choose from! We started with the seaweed salad and yakitori, which were both tasty and made great appetizers. As nigiri lovers, we were excited to try all the different selections. My favorites were definitely the toro and yellowtail, and the uni was sweet and delicious! One thing I really appreciated was the fish-to-rice ratio. The nigiri had a small amount of rice, so you could really enjoy the fish without feeling too full too quickly. The fresh rolls were also yummy, with a good amount of fish and nicely balanced seasoning. Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking for good AYCE sushi at a great price. The staff were also super kind and friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable! What we ordered: -Seaweed Salad -Yakitori -Nigiri (tuna, toro, salmon, salmon belly, sweet shrimp, scallop, yellowtail, albacore, uni, salmon egg) -Pepper Me Crazy (in: spicy tuna, cucumber, top: yellowtail, jalapeno, sauce: mustard, hot sauce) -Salmon In & Out (in: spicy salmon, cucumber, jalapeno, top: salmon, jalapeno, sauce: spicy mustard, hot sauce) -Kaboom (in: spicy tuna, cucumber, jalapenos, top: albacore, jalapenos, green onions, sauce: garlic ponzu, hot sauce) -Tuna & Salmon Temaki (hand rolls)
Came by Chobop to try out a new AYCE sushi place, since I had heard good things about this place before it became AYCE. We came for a late lunch and were seated promptly. The menu is a QR code, with the same ordering style as X-fish (through phone for non-nigiri items). Nigiri ordering was with pen/paper with some specialty items with limited order quantities per person. The rice ratio was great for AYCE - the smallest nub of rice for a regular slice of fish. There were several options for salmon, which is what I typically come for - including salmon belly, torched, cajun torched, etc. The torched salmon was just a bit over-torched so it was basically half-cooked salmon. Quality of fish was decent, but some flavors or toppings (carpaccio, torched, garlic on edamame, etc) fell short compared to other similar spots. They did have a wider selection of non-nigiri items available to order though.
I came a few weeks ago for the lunch and got the classic menu ayce The staff was really nice and welcoming. The food was quite fresh and I loved how they come with less rice It's a nice affordable ayce option & would come again if it wasn't so far from me
I wanted to update my review since they changed their name and menu. Chobop is a sushi spot that offers and AYCE and al la carte menu. I came in for lunch during the weekday with one other person and we got seated right away. It was busy but not crazy. They ask you right away what type of menu you prefer. For AYCE they had the classic or premium option. The premium had more items such has eel and mussels. We went with their classic. I found their sushi to be of good quality for the price. We enjoyed their salmon and yellowtail nigiri which both tasted fatty. I liked that they had no rice rolls which were all good. I also liked that they came out as 4 rolls instead of the 8 that you normally get. The classic menu also included ramen. We got their spicy ramen which was good but I hated that it had a ridiculous amount of ramen noodles in there. I ate half the noodles and it felt never ending. They even had ice cream at the end (matcha and vanilla). Service was excellent. They kept checking on us. I did hate that they forgot some of our items on our first round. I think you get 3 rounds and you can order through them or mark the paper. The inside is very large and great for small or large groups. For value and option I thought this was a great spot compared to their competitions.
A friend took us out here as a treat and boy was it a treat! I've been saying "I need to find a go to sushi place" and I think I finally have. CHOBOP is an all you can eat sushi place with very affordable prices. They are flexible in that not everyone needs to order all you can eat sushi place - we had someone just order a few things à la carte. There were so many options with appetizers, handrolls, baked rolls, fried rolls, and sashimi. The waiter was super friendly and even handed out a free appetizer/dessert. General ambiance is casual and cozy.
We had a group of 5 and everyone left happy and voted to return. Good quality proteins, small amounts of rice on nigiri, $40 AYCE includes carpaccio, nigiri and rolls. Rolls can also be ordered in half size (4 piece) to try new things. Separate menu for appetizers also included in AYCE price. Friendly service team from host - server - busser. Clean establishment, large space keeps wait times low or none. Free parking in large lot, ADA accessible. We will return and recommend to family/friends. Our new spot.
Sometimes not everything on social media is true. Advertised as a new place to try out, videos were pleasing. Then I see here on Yelp that this place was just rebranded. My only favorite was the mussels. Sushi and sashimi did not seem fresh. Thicker cuts, but was kind of cold for me. I think the flavor is there. The concept of each rolls is there. It's just it's not fresh..... Service was nice. Their drinks were gigantic haha! I like that one. Place looked old. Had their own parking space. A plus! Ambiance was ok. Looked rugged for me.
I kept seeing Chobop circulating on social media as this new premium AYCE sushi spot with good quality and fast service, so obviously I eventually had to see for myself. I invited a couple friends and made them come right when they opened so we could properly attack this menu lol. There are different tiers, and we went with **Premium** because that's where you get the nigiri, carpaccio, sashimi and some of the higher-end items. Some premium items like bluefin toro, uni and sweet shrimp are limited to one per person, but there's still A LOT you can order. And we ordered a lot. We tried the tuna, salmon, yellowtail, albacore and octopus carpaccios. They were okay across the board. Nothing bad, but none of them really stood out either. The menu can be a little confusing. Some things are ordered through the QR code, miso soup you have to ask for separately, and there are a bunch of rules and different sections to figure out. I did appreciate that some rolls are available as four pieces instead of committing to eight. I'm not a huge roll person anyway, and the rolls were probably one of the weaker parts for me. My nostalgic order is always a Philly roll because I love cream cheese, and there was barely any cream cheese in it. They also use mustard-based sauces on several things, and as someone who HATES mustard... why are we doing this? Where I'd focus next time is the **nigiri and simpler items**. We tried a ton of those along with salmon belly, baked mussels, crispy tuna, udon, miso and more. The salmon belly was way fattier and larger than I expected -- more like an actual grilled belly portion than sushi -- so ordering three was definitely our mistake. We were cutting fat off trying to survive by the end lol. One thing I wish they did better was tell us what they were dropping off. We ordered so much that when plates started coming out, we couldn't always tell what was what. Service itself was attentive, but food came out at an interesting pace. We'd think we were almost done and then suddenly another wave would appear. Afterward I calculated what everything would've cost à la carte, and **we absolutely got our money's worth** with Premium. Would I come back? Probably. I'd order completely differently now that I understand the menu -- less experimenting with all the sauced items and rolls, and more stacking up the nigiri and things I actually liked. There's definitely value here; you just have to learn how to work the menu.
Tried this AYCE sushi place since it was promoted on TikTok. They have an extensive selection of nigiri and rolls which is nice as well as premium options if you're paying the dinner/premium price. The seared salmon was my favorite and the toro. Service was a little slow but it was on the busy side, so understandable. Plenty of parking outside. Definitely would come back if hungry and craving sushi!

Came here for dinner with a friend and their menu doesn't state that the regular Ayce is only for lunch and that dinner is premium Ayce no matter what. They also only have nigiri if you order premium so I didn't think this place was that good. I think I can find another spot that's much better. They also promote sashimi on Ayce but they only have carpaccio which is limited to 2 orders per person. Overall this place is okay, the service is really good though! read more
AYCE Sushi here was good!! If you get premium then uni & torro options are available for you! A young woman named Shun was our server and was super nice to us. She continued to return and check on us making sure everything was ok. I thought the presentation of the food was nice! My friends and wife enjoyed it here. I would come back for Sushi and Nigiri if I'm in the area. The location looks clean and nice inside and has lots of room. Good service, tasty sushi, nice environment, and clean restaurant! read more

Came here for lunch, and service was very hospitable and quick! The server asked us if we wanted free hot green tea, which I will never say no to, and she even came to refill in the middle of our meal. The hot green tea absolutely hit the spot. She also brought us a small plate of onion tempura, which was super crispy and the onion inside was soft- almost melts in your mouth. Got the lunch time special- 3 rolls for $43.99. We got the sake bomb, in & out, and 007. If I had to pick a favorite, I would say 007, but everything was delectable. Very homey interior vibes inside! read more

This place has AYCE sushi which is pretty well priced, the quality of fish was good for the price. It does take a long time for your orders to come out, and the tuna isn't the best but all the other Nigiris, the rolls, and the carpaccio are really good. Definitely worth a try if you want AYCE. read more

Stopped at Sushi Imari about 2 hours until closing and it was packed. We didn't have to wait too long but was definitely a full house. It was a little hectic in here as it's bigger and busier than the usual Japanese spots we go to. I was craving an unagi bowl and my husband had the chicken teriyaki bento box. When my ordered first arrived, I was worried that it was not going to be enough. I was surprised by how small the bowl was and thought I would have to order more food. That was not the case. There were plenty of pieces and they were all pretty big. The bowl was pretty packed, might have been better and easier to eat if on a plate or bigger bowl but was worth the price. My husband enjoyed his chicken teriyaki and sushi bento box! The chicken was flavorful, had a lot of sauce and was not dry. I'd come back! read more

FALSE ADVERTISEMENT! gave this place a try twice in the last two months 1st time we got the premium ayce ($38.95) for dinner, food was good, nigiri had great fish to rice ratio, there was no wait and the restaurant was 70% full the thing that bothered us most was there was a 10pc per person limit in the first round and we could get unlimited pieces afterwards, but they took an hour to bring out the limited premium pieces we ordered and kept asking us if we still wanted it (after waiting for a long time) but were quick to bring out rolls and appetizers we ended up cancelling our carpaccio (limited item) orders because it took too long and the waiter kept suggesting that we do throughout the dinner food quality was good, but the logistics and service left a salty taste and made the experience less enjoyable 2nd time we went was today for lunch ($29.95), we chose the classic menu and when we sat down the hostess told us that the first round was limited to 10pcs and the next two rounds were unlimited (fair since it's stated on the menu and we are aware from our previous exp), another waitress picked up our order for the second round and told us it was in fact, not unlimited and nigiri was limited to 10 pc/person per round and the rolls were limited to 16pc/person per round so we told the waitress that it is not all you can eat if we are limited to 30pc total, and she said it was a new policy they just started and the business was hoping people fill up on rolls and appetizers Oh, and you can't order all the appetizers from the ayce menu if you go with the classic "ayce", you're limited to fried stuff (fries, tofu, tempura), rice bowls, and udon, so if you were expecting baked mussels forget it!!! (we didn't know this until we scanned a QR code) felt like we got baited, maybe don't serve all you can eat sushi if you can't deliver the product read more

I loved coming here because the owner is very organized, very sweet, and very attentive. I came here a few days ago around 1pm. I put my name on the list and sat outside while waiting for my name to be called. 20-30 minutes goes by and I decided to go inside to check on the table. Turns out the young girl checked my name off and gave the table to another group that JUST walked in. Waited about 5-10 mins for another table. They handed us 1 sushi ordering sheet and then another after 10 minutes. We waited about 15-20 minutes for the QR code, never received it so we had to ask for it. They handed us one then ends up taking it and handing us a new one. Only the appetizers were coming out quickly. I did not see any sushi for 30 minutes after we ordered. We received the first round of sushi but not some of the premium items that are limited. Another 20-30 minutes went by and the sushi's weren't coming out. They were also messing up orders left and right giving us unnecessary appetizers that we already received or never ordered. We were getting full by appetizers and I noticed the table next to us was also getting very slow service. AS SOON as the owner came into the store ALL the employees started working very fast. On the last 10 minutes before we were about to ask for the check the young girl finally gave us our limited premium item and pretty much told us we had to take it because it was ordered on the ordering sheet. I would definitely come back only when the owner is working. All the employees need to be retrained or hire new people because why did most of the table hardly received their foods or had to wait for long periods of time until the owner came in. read more

My friends had recommended Chobop to me after their first visit, so we came in on Wednesday night to give it a try. We were aware that we were arriving quite close to closing for an AYCE dinner. We would get there around 8:30 and they were closing at 10 PM so we made sure to call before coming in. They let us know that they would be doing last call at 9:30, and that they usually do last seating for AYCE around the time we would arrive so it would be okay as long as we were fine with the last order time, which we were. When we came in, the restaurant was clean and spacious, quite empty which was to be expected. I enjoyed the ordering system, which consisted of standard sushi paper order, but had sides and appetizers through a website on your phone. Our server was very friendly and quick with our orders. The sushi quality was good overall, but many of our nigiri were quite misshapen, and rice portions were a bit on the small side for me (although many find that to be a plus for AYCE sushi). The food wasn't really an issue at all though, and we enjoyed our meal. One issue we had was that as close as we were to closing, we started to be quite rushed by the staff. Even before 9 PM, which is an hour before closing, we were asked if we were finished ordering rolls (we had only done one round with 2 roll orders), and it felt like we ought to say that we were. Then, sometime around 9:15, they asked if we were done ordering appetizers or hot food. While I very much understand that staff hopes to wrap things up asap before closing, we felt like that was the whole point of having a designated "last call" time of 9:30. Being pressured to stop ordering certain menu items well before then felt a little disappointing considering a meal costs around $50 per person without any drinks or additional premium items. That being said, our server was very kind and polite regardless, and I'm sure the experience would have been just fine during any other hour. Also their ice cream is fantastic, randomly some of the best green tea ice cream I've been served in a restaurant. read more

Came to Sushi Imari in Costa Mesa after reading great reviews and seeing high ratings on Yelp. I arrived at 5 pm and there was only one group ahead of us, so we were seated within 5 minutes. Our drink orders were taken promptly, which was a nice start. While waiting, they gave us fried dumplings, which were delicious. As more people arrived, our server Canu got busy, but another server, Bella, stepped in to take our order. I appreciated how the staff worked together to ensure a smooth experience for their customers. We ordered Bento combos with two different options: sashimi (6 pieces), one with Salmon Kama, and the other two with beef Teriyaki. All combos came with miso soup, salad, and rice. Our food arrived in about 15 minutes, which was impressive considering how quickly the restaurant filled up. The restaurant itself was very clean, adding to the pleasant dining experience. The sashimi was fresh and came in large pieces, while the Teriyaki beef was tender and flavorful. The Salmon Kama was also delicious. Overall, I was very satisfied with both the food and the service. I requested extra wasabi and gluten-free soy sauce, and the staff was always attentive and accommodating. I definitely recommend Sushi Imari for its excellent food, great service, and clean environment. My Personal Rating : 4.36 Food 4.1/5 Service 4.5/5 Price 4.3/5 Ambiance 4.3/5 Cleanliness 4.6/5 read more

As far as AYCE, this place has fresh fish, made when you order, it's not pre made for hours. This is why it's fresh and bright. I ordered the premium level for $38.99 and it's well worth it. On weekends the lower tier class for $29.99 is not available over the weekend. The premium option gives you carpaccio selections and some premium sushi, like Toro and uni, limited to 2 pieces per person. Service is friendly, owner is onsite working hard. For dessert they have vanilla or matcha ice cream. Casual ambiance, friendly service, value proposition is fair. Food and cost per person is well worth it! Highly recommend it. read more
Sushi Imari + ayce = Chobop. Still the same delicious, great quality sushi for a decade now. Service was great, food came out pretty quickly each time we ordered different rounds. This is definitely one of the best ayce sushi spots around. read more

Good sushi spot! I wish I could remember what different rolls we got. They have a lot of quality rolls, some good variety of flavor, etc. The rolls I remember: - One roll we got with baked salmon was really nice - One that was a more citrusy flavor with a jalapeno on top was really good - A tempura fried roll with cream cheese was fun and filling - I really liked the one that had I think fried calamari on top? - Tempura green tea ice cream was frozen solid but tasty - Crispy rice was a hit as always Friendly service. Fairly quick. Helpful read more

If you're craving sushi and have an appetite, Chobop is the spot. This all-you-can-eat sushi experience stands out because every roll has its own unique flavor--not just filler or sauces masking the same base. From the classics to their signature rolls, everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Service was attentive, and the food came out quickly--no long waits between rounds. Pro tip: Go hungry and pace yourself--there's a lot you'll want to try. Will definitely be back when the sushi cravings hit again! read more

This place is newly AYCE, and it pretty much reflects that in the experience we had here. It took literally a whole hour to get our carpaccio, while the other premium ones came after about half an hour. The place was only at about half capacity as well. We think later on, they ran out of fish because we were missing some of the fish we ordered and they stopped taking customers about an hour before closing. However, the premium fish (especially the bluefin tuna and toro) was one of the best we've had. The uni was pretty nasty though and the octopus was straight up like eating rubber. We appreciated the variety of appetizers, but wished they gave smaller portions so we could try more things. Overall pretty solid, but wouldn't consider coming back again before they fix a lot of their problems. read more

Decent sushi without breaking the bank, friendly service (but a little slow), but has a very low-key and chill atmosphere with pretty open seating, sushi bar with TVs, and that mom & pop feel. That being said, it's a great option to grab some sushi without needing reservations and you have lots of variety, whether you're looking for sushi or sashimi, fusion rolls, entrees, appetizers, and drinks. We tried a few apps: edamame, gyoza (pretty meaty but a little greasy), and spicy tuna on crispy rice (not bad, pretty generous portions). For myself, I got the chirashi bowl so I could get a variety of fish with some seasoned rice and it was a solid bowl. I like that some of the fish were pretty thick cuts and the ones with seasoned yuzu was tasty. Rice itself also had good flavor that went well with the fish. Only thing I'd say that was an actual con was the slowness. There seemed to be spans of little to no attention, especially when it was to take our orders. Food came out with a bit spread apart so timing was definitely off. However, they did give us some gyozas on the house (even though we didn't complain) so we wondered if it was to make sure we didn't get hangry? But still, pretty friendly but maybe just understaffed like many places. read more

My first visit to Chobop was amazing! We went on a Sunday evening around 4:30 and were seated right away. The décor has a modern Japanese feel, and it's a pretty low-key AYCE sushi spot that definitely deserves more attention. The hostess was very friendly and, since it was our first time at this place, she clearly explained how ordering works. You place sushi orders on a paper menu, but appetizers from the kitchen are ordered by scanning a QR code on your phone. For the first round, you're limited to 10 pieces of nigiri per person, but in the second and third rounds you can order as much as you'd like. If you choose the premium option(about $40 pp)instead of the regular one, you get access to premium nigiri and carpaccio, though those are limited to about 1-2 pieces per person. We ordered all of the premium items, including uni, toro, bluefin tuna, sweet shrimp, and the salmon carpaccio. The uni was surprisingly good--not too fishy at all. For regular nigiri, we had salmon belly, king scallop, seared salmon, and eel, and everything was delicious. We also tried the spicy pom pom roll, which was just okay for me since it had a bit too much rice. The Pepper Me Crazy roll was definitely better. For appetizers, we ordered shishito peppers, baked mussels, and jalapeño bombs. The shishito peppers and baked mussels were absolutely amazing--honestly, some of the best baked mussels I've had, and I've been to a lot of AYCE sushi spots. The jalapeño bombs were my least favorite, as they had way too much tuna on top; I prefer a more balanced ratio. Overall, I highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a great AYCE sushi place. It's easily my favorite one so far read more
This place is definitely a hidden gem. It's tucked away and not the most obvious place. Plenty of parking available in the lot. Staff is very sweet and welcoming. Everyone greets you as you enter and leave the restaurant. Service was quick and efficient. The restaurant itself is pretty small. We sat at the bar where the TV was. They have 20% off beer, which was a plus. Price here is affordable and quality was great in my opinion! Definitely recommend trying this place if you're in the area. Food review: Complimentary gyoza and bluefin: (5/5) Super unexpected, but very much appreciated. These were both delicious! The beef gyoza had a great flavor and texture. The bluefin was buttery soft and the ball was a fun treat! In & Out roll: (5/5) This was delicious! Simple with a little kick and super fresh. Finding Nemo: (5/5) Tasty and the sriracha was a nice spicy note. Sushi nigiri: (10/5) OMG. This was so buttery soft and delicious. I had 2 orders. You can get with or without wasabi. I got them without. read more

AYCE "Classic" is only for lunch $29.95; "Premium" is dinner $38.95. They should definitely update the menu to say that. Classic includes only rolls listed on the picture menus. The premium includes classic options plus a few extra raw nigiri sushi options. The sushi rolls and nigiri were good. We were very full when finished. read more

I do not believe that the yelp rating shown here is accurate or reliable to the changed management or business name. They changed their concept to AYCE and rebranded their name. Never had I had an experience where the food had to be requested to be remade due to hair found in food or seafood quality so poor it smelled and came deformed on the plate. Ambiance is bright and clean with plenty of parking spaces. But I wouldn't go back for the price and so many other options out there. read more

Arrived around 6 PM and only had a 10-15 minute wait. The host gave off great vibes from start to finish. We were seated quickly, and within five minutes our drinks were out and our order was taken. We went with the all-you-can-eat premium option, and after each round the food came out at a steady, consistent pace. Considering how busy it was, I was honestly impressed by how fast and organized the service was with every plate. My favorite rolls were the Costa Mesa roll, baked salmon roll, and baked scallop roll. Our server checked in on us at the perfect pace, and overall it was a 10/10 first experience. Would definitely come back. read more

Great Service today. The two gentlemen in charge of my table this afternoon were pleasant and very helpful. The rolls were pretty good but BIG. I really liked the rice to fish ratio for the nigiri. Price was more affordable than a lot of AYCE places in the area. The music isn't too loud and it's well lit. I loved this place and I will gladly come back. read more

Probably the only AYCE place that serves unlimited scallop (not bay scallop). Service was fast and fish was decent. All the appetizers were not bad and easy to order on the phone. Will be satisfied with their cuts of fish for the price! Gave us less rice on our pieces as we requested as well. read more

WORTH IT!! Came here for my friends birthday, they lit the ice cream and sang happy birthday. Ordered the garlic salad to start with garlic edamame, chicken teriyaki, Korean fried chicken, with fries and sushi later. It came out really fast and we loved it all. One thing, they don't let you take leftovers, I understand it's all you can eat but that could be a lot of wasted food! read more

Do they to take out orders?
Yes they do take out orders. You can order online using their website or call in an order for pick up. You can also wait there for an order but their waiting area is very small.
Is it all you can eat?
Yes, there's a big sign outside that it's all you can eat sushi.
Why is this coming up in the vegan section? It doesn't look like a vegan sushi place.
Probably because they do offer some vegan options.
Does your teriyaki sauce contain sesame oil ? Or is sesame oil used to prepare any of the hot meat dishes?
no we don't use
Do you take reservations?
