This is a high-quality Japanese comfort food experience in Rowland Heights. They specialize in…read moretraditional katsu sets with a fun, hands-on twist that makes the meal incredibly memorable. We ordered Beef Gyukatsu Set and the beef arrived beautifully crusted and lightly flash-fried on the outside while remaining perfectly rare on the inside. The best part? They provide a personal mini iron grill right at your table so you can sear each slice exactly to your liking. Watching it sizzle fresh is half the fun - like a mini jbbq experience! The set comes fully loaded with a mountain of crisp shredded cabbage, miso soup, and white rice. The meat is incredibly tender and pairs beautifully with their signature dipping sauces. We also got the Pork Curry Katsu Set. The pork katsu was exceptionally crispy without feeling greasy, and the meat stayed juicy. It comes served alongside an aromatic Japanese curry and a dedicated dipping sauce. The set is well-balanced with white rice, fresh lettuce, a hot bowl of miso soup, and a side of corn and tangy pickled veggies to cut through the richness of the curry. The service was attentive, and the table setup for the personal grills was clean and seamless. Between the interactive grilling and the generous portion sizes, it is a fantastic spot for a casual date night or a fun dinner with friends.

I saw that Yelp offers reservations and I booked a table for tomorrow for a celebratory dinner, with a memo asking if the teppan table was low enough for a wheelchair. I never received a response. I called to verify this question and they told me that there were no more teppan seats available. I couldn't understand what she was talking about, and I said I made a reservation online, and was told by here that I would have to sit at a regular table. WTF??? Apparently they have regular tables for you to order off the menu I think? And she never did answer my question if their teppan tables were wheelchair height. No apologies, just blamed Yelp for their reservation system and that I needed to make reservations weeks in advanced for a teppan table. This place needs to work with Yelp to figure out how to specify making reservations teppan vs. regular tables or just have people call and talk to a person to make reservations for a teppan table. Good thing I called otherwise I would've shown up for dinner tomorrow only to find out that I wouldn't have a seat at the table and disappoint my whole family. I ended up cancelling my reservation and making one at another teppan restaurant who did confirm they could accommodate a wheelchair.

I also ordered a tuna roll for $5.00 more. All the foods were good except some of the sushi rice were hard. I overlooked this since it is the only flaw. I like the photo and atmosphere. It is ok. An above average birthday for me. I am getting old. There is a finite number of these date left. Ray out.

At 7:25 the chef arrived but left at 7:30 because the table was not hot enough returned 15 minutes later. Finally dinner was served at 8:10 Left this location almost at 9:00pm. Steak was super salty but I am just over it by that point. I was already upset with many other issues. Upon seating I was told to squish my party of 4 into the room for 3 people since I one of us is in a high chair. That makes absolutely zero sense. I order a shrimp crunch roll and for $18 they couldn't bring me soy sauce with it. The soup was just broth no mushrooms and no crispy onions? The chicken fried is the only reason i still agree to eat dinner here when my family picks this restaurant. But why does the chef keep leaving the table to get more ginger sauce ? Waiting area needs to be cleaned and so does the restroom more often.

My only complaint is that the shrimp still had the tails on. At $30 a plate, especially for a food truck where people are usually grabbing lunch on the go, I wish they were already removed--no one has time for that. The noodles are extra, but definitely worth it. They also offer a great variety of sauces. I don't eat out often, so when I do, it's more of a treat for me.

When I walked in, they showed me a menu and the two tasting options that are available. It was kind of weird as it felt like they didn't think I had enough money to dine there. In their defense however, I had just come from a charity walk/fundraiser, so wasn't dressed like the rest of the patrons. When I finally sat down, that is when the magic happened. Their food and service were exceptional. My server, Christian, did a great job cooking and walking me through each course. Everything I had was perfection, including the beef tongue. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and dine here. It truly was remarkable. Just remember to make a reservation and dress appropriately.

If you're planning to come before the month ends.. I'd suggest you not. We put our name down at 5:45 and didn't get called til 7:45. There were so many parties waiting. Expect to be seated at the estimated wait time (it will not be quicker). Also, the AC is not working and I doubt they're planning to fix it just for their last couple days. It's still warm outside and you're eating hot pot.. so just expect to sweat. Lastly, they are only taking Venmo and cash so be forewarned. Food wise.. it tastes the same. Very nostalgic. I got the T-Rex beef with spicy pork bone soup. The ponzu is not as good as I remember but everything else was good. I did stop coming to Jazz Cat bc there's just better options nowadays. Out the door, we paid $35 per meal with tip and tax. Service was good. They are on top of things. And considering how busy it is, they are very efficient. If you must go.. I'd suggest you go early or at least put your name down beforehand and run errands or something.

It can get loud if there are a lot of people but it usually isn't a problem. My typical order would be the spicy garlic edamame or spicy tuna roll with the salmon teriyaki and tempura.

The salad dressing is so delicious and I always crave it. Would definitely recommend eating here if you're looking for an affordable and delicious place.

The two standouts for us were definitely the seafood truffle linguine and Beijing duck pizza. The linguine was creamy and flavorful with a nice truffle taste, and there was a good amount of seafood. The Beijing duck pizza was such an interesting combination and ended up being one of the most memorable dishes. The crispy crust, savory duck flavor, and fresh arugula worked surprisingly well together. The baked pork chop rice was hearty and comforting with plenty of sauce and cheese, while the grilled chicken steak came with a generous portion of pasta and sides. Overall, a nice spot when you're craving Hong Kong-style café food but also want something a little different. I would come back especially for the truffle pasta and Beijing duck pizza!

Chicken steak is a huge portion.

This is my fave section bc I get to pick my raw meat or seafood , veggies and condiments which is cooked on a flat iron grill. I particularly enjoy Hibachi's marinated pork steak bc of its flavor and tender cut paired with the grilled vegetables of choice . This buffet offers the best deal $12.99 for seniors 65 and over on weekdays which is cheaper than a burger combo. You pay the drinks separately. The staff are friendly and attentive altho they get really busy lunchtime and weekends . The place is nothing fancy as far as decorative dining, it's just a plain open space restaurant with booths on the side and tables and chairs in the middle so I don't expect much about it's ambiance. You can smell the aroma of the dishes on the warming table and lighting is not too bright . I think this place could use more color to enhance the atmosphere with brighter lighting to make it more vibrant. Overall , it's a good deal for weekday lunch .

I've been hanging around with my senior in-laws lately, and they absolutely love a cheap buffet…read more This place is pretty much your typical buffet: sushi, a hibachi station, hot and cold food options, American dishes, and of course the dessert section with pastries and ice cream. As for the food itself, it's decent if you're not too picky about freshness, flavor, or having a huge variety of choices. That said, the food quality doesn't really seem to be the main draw here. The service was mediocre as well. They didn't really react when you said thank you, and drink refills only happened if you specifically asked for them. Instead, the restaurant clearly caters to a specific audience: seniors. The place is packed with older customers, which makes sense given the affordable prices and senior discounts. With that in mind, if you have older family members looking for a budget-friendly meal, this might be a good spot to check out.
