There's also paid metered parking right in front of the restaurant as well. I've celebrated plenty of birthdays here. And of course, met my girls here for, you guessed it, happy hour. I love me a good happy hour. They have a solid happy hour menu which I don't have a problem coming back for. I order my usuals from the regular menu & can't get enough of the chicken wings & sushi. The Sun kissed Roll & the Alaskan Roll are some of my favorites. It's pretty chill here. Service has been a hit or miss. On my last visit, it took a while to get seated. But, the servers made up for it, by checking on us & making sure that we were able to get all our orders in. Thank you to Heidi & the young gentleman, keep it up!

This was the perfect ending to dinner out at the collection and to help beat the heat. This…read moreparticular visit it was much cooler to sit outside with the ice cream. I'm not sure if the shop has a/c and it was not working or if they do not have a/c but was too hot to sit down inside with our ice cream. I've only had the Taiyaki (fish waffle with filling) at the shop in the Ventura Harbor so this was my first time trying a different shop's Taiyaki. The cashier took our order and our ice creams were ready within 7-8 minutes. I ordered an Ubechata Taiyaki with Oreo crumbs for my topping and Nutella as the filling inside of the Taiyaki. It was a great tasting ice cream and the Taiyaki was filled with ice cream and Nutella. So I felt like it was a good amount of ice cream. At $8.50 it felt like a good value. The other desserts looked delicious but the bowls servings looked larger and was $13+. This is a great addition to the Collection and is great if you are craving a Taiyaki but don't want to go to Ventura harbor.

It probably would have been better to just turn the fan off. Since it was cooler outside we ended up taking it elsewhere to enjoy. Service was good. The bear theme was cute. I got the taro bingsu and my friend got the mango one. The snow was fluffy and both were good. Would be back to try other flavors.

The Japanese style of grilling each item on a stick and coveted bar seating around the open kitchen squeezed into a narrow bustling space is truly authentic. If you're claustrophobic, walk through the interior dining area to the back patio for an open air experience. Food is ordered from an App so come with a full phone battery charge. You order each skewer and all other items and they are brought to your table as they come off the grill. We ordered a couple Japanese draft beers and the Spicy Garlic Edamame to start as we studied the revolving selection of skewers on the menu. Tip- keep that edamame plate because you're going to want to double dip with that leftover sauce. You choose your own adventure here and the quality of the food and preparation are outstanding. I think Sushi when I think Japanese food-- not here- it's Kushiyaki style ! There's no Sushi! We ordered One of many variations of filet mignon, ribeye and chicken skewers in order to taste our way through the menu. We kept ordering 2 at a time and sharing. The Unagi was a stand out for my husband and apparently is very popular. I felt that that the beef skewers were more flavorful than the chicken but all the proteins were grilled to perfection and very tender. The Fillet with onion sauce and the ribeye with yuzu were standouts to me. The servers are friendly and efficient. If you want the full experience, come early and snag a seat at the bar so you can watch the dinner theater. Here the focus is on the perfect bite! Tip: if you map it, you'll drive right by it. Look for the downtown Cafe Ficelle on Main across from Ventura HS and park. Then walk toward the Tattoo studio until you see an open door full of people and no visible signage. It truly is a Hidden Gem!

Very disappointing experience…read more We placed our order and paid through the restaurant's QR code ordering system. After some time, the owner came to our table and told us that another customer's order had somehow been charged to my credit card. She said she would cancel the transaction and asked us to place the order again. Naturally, I was concerned and asked for an explanation of how another customer's order could be charged to my card. Unfortunately, she repeatedly said she didn't know and offered no explanation or reassurance. Her attitude was dismissive and surprisingly unconcerned about what could have been a serious payment system issue. Because I was uncomfortable with the situation and the lack of transparency, I decided to cancel my order and leave. She simply said "OK" and showed little interest in addressing my concerns. Whether this was a system error or not, customers deserve a clear explanation when their credit card is involved in an unexpected transaction. The poor customer service and lack of concern left a very negative impression. I would be extremely cautious about using a credit card here in the future.

So far, my stats are 50/50 catching eggs in my mouth when they're flung toward me! Everyone gets a good laugh as they attempt to catch some, too! The other side of the restaurant is the sushi side, but I've never ordered sushi here (yet). You can also order sushi on the teppanyaki side, though. Once you order your meal, it also typically comes with soup, salad, and white or fried rice. I always have plenty to take home in a to-go container for another meal. My favorite is the teppanyaki chicken. I've also ordered the teppanyaki steak, but the meat was a little dry and not well seasoned. Prices are reasonable at $25-35 a plate, and you will get plenty of food. This is also a good place to take kids, as you can share your meal with them, and they will (hopefully) enjoy the show the chef puts on as he cooks. The group I arrived with included over 15 people, so the staff seated us at one large table. This is definitely a great place for enormous groups.

Fortunately, our experience exceeded expectations. First, the service from our waiter, Mathew, was outstanding. He was attentive, professional, and made us feel very welcome throughout the evening. We started with the California sushi roll appetizer, which was excellent. For our entrées, I ordered the steak, and my wife chose the tri-tip baby back ribs. Both dishes were prepared perfectly, and we were extremely satisfied with our meals. Mathew also recommended a red Pinot Noir that paired wonderfully with dinner. His recommendation was spot on. To top off the evening, the restaurant surprised us with a complimentary anniversary dessert, and it was absolutely amazing. The entire experience felt special, and everything came out perfectly. Overall, we had a fantastic anniversary dinner and would gladly return.

It was Happy Hour, so we ordered a few things from the Happy Hour menu. I ordered the salmon-baked roll and the Vegetable tempura roll. I love the taste of salmon, so I always order salmon rolls wherever I go. Sorry, but honestly, I didn't like the baked salmon roll here; there was too much sauce, and I couldn't really taste the salmon. Americans might like the taste. The vegetable tempura roll was ok. I think the rice was not tasty in either roll. The jasmine tea was my favorite type with blooming jasmine flowers. The service was excellent. There are also large tables, so it's good for families and groups. The parking lot is in front of the restaurant.
