    The Unruly Grill did it again! Service was top notch! My brother hired them for his birthday, it felt like just yesterday they were taking care of us. The service and atmosphere were excellent, and the staff was professional, respectful, and they were on top of everything. I would definitely recommend them for a family or group gathering, as well as holiday parties. Thank you, Unruly Grill!

    Our Daily L.

    Okay, so let me just start off by saying I have been to just about every teppanyaki restaurant, (Benihanas, shogun, ichibiri, etc.), and because the in-person experience is primarily what you're paying for, often times I found that my fried rice was overcooked because the cook wants to throw rice into everyone's mouths. But when it comes to the Unruly Grill, it is very clear that they have the experience as I've never been let down even after 5 visits. Don't get me wrong, the in-person experience is great for a night out, but when you're looking to relax at home or in the comfort of your car where you can go to town, I personally think this place exceeds the quality of any other place I've been to for teppanyaki. The pricing, for what you're getting, is honestly very good. I eat a good amount of food as I'm a growing young adult, and I am able to stretch a plate out into 3 different meals Another huge difference between this establishment and others is the fact that I am able to go multiple hours after eating before needing to use the restroom. While teppanyaki is delicious, if you've ever watched how it's all done then you'd know that a good amount of butter is involved. I feel that everything is measured out here instead of eyeballed here, or the chef is just a teppanyaki god, as the quality has been the same every single time. One thing I was very skeptical about at first was if it'd arrive at my doorstep exactly how I ordered it, as I've had burgers and steaks cook further during delivery. Nothing but perfect medium rare steak every single time! I also love how they hook you up with extra sauces, compared to other places where you have to ask or are limited to one little container. If you've been looking for something new to add to the weekly rotation of meals, then I would highly recommend adding this place to that list!!!

    The aftermath

    The company was booked for birthday celebrations for our family. It was such a great evening! They brought all of the set up: tables, chairs, cloth napkins and table clothes, plates and utensils = no set up for the hosts! The chef and his assistant were great, they with all of the family and provided excellent service. And so much food! The usual teppan faire of edamame, salad with ginger dressing, noodles and fried rice. The chef entertained with the egg tricks and the onion volcano. Lobster, scallops, shrimp, steak were all on the menu for options and everyone was thoroughly pleased. This is an incredible value and a really fun night for a group. Highly recommend!

    We would give Unruly Grill 10 stars if we could. Their service was perfect for our party of 33 people They arrived on time, brought everything with them including tables, linens, chairs, even music The 2 chefs prepared memorable teppanyaki style meals for all of us and their performances while preparing to meals was so much fun, They had a crew to help the chefs. They were all wonderful The food was great and we all got plenty. They even gave us take home containers, and there was a lot for us to take home When done with the cleanup you wouldn't have even known they were ever there. It was a lovely experience from beginning to end, and all at a fair price If you have a party or special event, just book them, you will not be disappointed

    Food (4/5 stars): The Unruly Grill is an awesome teppanyaki catering company in South OC that provides great food and entertainment! I ordered the New York Steak and Chicken and loved the steak. It was flavorful and tender whereas the chicken was on the drier side. Another highlight was surprisingly the edamame because it was coated in a sweet and savory sauce that had a slight kick. It was quite pricey, but the portions were huge and the experience was worth it! Experience (5/5 stars): * Price: pricey but worth * Service: they catered to all of our needs (dietary restrictions, etc)! Very friendly, too! * Ambiance: it's all about the experience! Chef John is super talented and put on an entertaining dining experience

    Menu and pricing

    Delicious, easy to lock in a date and time, and I highly recommend to anyone wanting a new dining experience like this

    Set up

    We booked very last minute and they were so professional and helpful. They did an amazing set up for my birthday and delicious food. It was so nice staying at home because our kids could run around.! My family was so impressed and didn't even know something like this existed. I would 10/10 recommend this service

    They did a dinner for 17 in my backyard and they were entertaining, the food was great and nothing to clean up afterwards. Amazing

    Feeling the love!

    Feeling Unruly Love! My niece hired The Unruly Grill for her husband's 30th birthday as he REALLY enjoyed them at my mom's birthday. The Unruly Grill is not one of those one-and-done experiences, and it only got better with this next go-round. Not only are they on FIYAAAHH, they bring the warm and fuzzies. Before they left for the evening, Chef Carlos and crew paid their respects to my mom, which is a big thing in Filipino culture. Thank you for that heart-warming moment.

    We used their service for a surprise bday party on 5/14. We really enjoyed it. The guys were all Friendly and fun. They offered to take pics and interacted with us. Which was lacking when we hired a different vendor 1 year ago. Food wise the quantity is definitely more than enough. My friends all said tasted great. I was too buzzed to remember! We will definitely hire them again!

    This is my second time having the unruly grill come and provide dinner and show for us. They are absolutely amazing to work with! They were able to accommodate 24 guests and provided an additional chef. The food was so tasty, all of my guest really enjoyed it. The ambiance was so romantic as we were celebrating an anniversary. I will definitely be using them again. They do it ALL

    "BENI-WHO?" - they beat benihanas in service food and quality!

    I already devoured the food & totally forgot to take a picture so I can post it but oh well. Trust me when I say hands down the BEST hibachi out there. Literally Beni who because I personally think the food is way better than Benihanas over priced habachi. The service is so great! They are the most nicest humble people I've ever met, every time I stop by they always hook it up or add something a little extra in there. I always forget to catch the girls name who helped us but she's the sweetest!! Anyways love love love them! Wish them nothing but success!!

    Grill

    The Unruly Grill was recommended to us by a friend. They set up, take down, entertain, and serve generous amounts of delicious food. (We ordered shrimp, filet, and chicken). John was our chef and he was great. Everyone had a fantastic time! Highly recommend!

    See all

    GUYYYYS, I am not a huge fan of hand rolls (or sushi in general.. I don't know, it's the texture I…read morecan't get over) but I can honestly say I've now converted after trying this place. You don't know what you're missing until you've had Nori!! My cousin celebrated her 30th birthday a week ago and surprised us with this delicious catering company at her party! Everything tastes so fresh and the protein to rice ratio was perfect! Usually I'll have a mouth full of rice, but this company is super generous with their protein! They also have a few side dishes that pair very well with these hand rolls. We all met Kevin and Abe and they were one of the most personable people I've ever met; both very humble men and very, very easy to talk to. What an amazing experience! If you ever want to hire a catering company for your next event, I 1000% recommend Nori. I'll definitely have them at my next one!

    Hands down, one of the BEST food experiences I've ever had at an event. If I could give 100 stars,…read moreI absolutely would. Booking Nori Handroll was a breeze -- Kevin was super easy to communicate with and made the process completely stress-free. When they showed up for the event, the attendants were so friendly, professional, and attentive -- true pros all around. Now... the FOOD. Oh my goodness. Absolutely incredible. We had salmon, Maui tuna, yuzu hamachi, and unagi for the guests who don't eat raw fish, and every single handroll was a hit. The sauces they provided? Fire. One of our guests was actually pouting all night after Nori left because he wanted more -- that's how good it was. Honestly, just writing this review makes me crave them again If you're thinking about booking Nori Handroll for any event, do it. You will NOT regret it. Amazing service, amazing food, amazing everything. I would 100% book them again in a heartbeat.

Her transparency, responsiveness, attention-to-detail and professionalism consistently set her apart. Brittany was always proactive and reliable; we never had to chase for answers or run around in circles. One of the greatest advantages was her delivery of timely, updated quotes--something we deeply appreciated for effective budget management. Even before we booked the venue, Brittany walked us through detailed rain contingency plans, which proved invaluable when we encountered a once-in-a-blue-moon torrential downpour on our wedding day. As a bride coordinating family travel from across the globe--while also navigating significant challenges with an approved vendor--Brittany stepped in at critical moments and ensured the day ran smoothly from an operational standpoint. Our guests could not stop praising the outstanding, multicultural food (especially the bulgogi beef bao, dessert stations and confetti cake) and the thoughtful allergy accommodations, which were handled seamlessly. Guest experience was one of our top priorities, and Brittany's execution gave us complete confidence. On our wedding day, anything within her scope was something we never had to worry about - and the food was one of the TOP compliments received from guests. The only feedback we strongly encourage the business to consider is a thorough audit of its approved vendor list. Unfortunately, our greatest challenges stemmed from a vendor on this list. Brittany's efforts were instrumental in mitigating issues caused by this vendor that could have otherwise impacted the success of the event. The strength of Serra Plaza's internal team deserves to be matched by the same standard across all required vendors to protect future couples. Beyond this, our experience was exceptional, and we are deeply grateful for Brittany's leadership and support. Thank you to the full team for stepping up to the plate when we needed it the most to execute the best day ever. We recommend Jay's Catering and Serra Plaza to any couple for the food, professionalism, service and kindness!
