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!!! read more

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 read more

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

My friend has booked these guys multiple times now and the dudes running the show here never fail. If you have the chance to, don't go to Benihana or the likes of those and enjoy the experience from the comforts of your home. It's incredible and intimate and the price itself is insane compared to going outside. The quality and attention is like having dinner with friends. You ever finish a dinner and say man I can sure go for some innout? I definitely have. But not with The Unruly Grill, here I left saying IM SO FULL I CANT WALK With whatever proteins you go for, you are met with edamame, salad, fried rice, grilled veggies, AND chow mein as well as their assortment of sauces. Couldn't recommend these guys any more read more

I can't say enough about Unruly Grill! What an amazing service! I loved having them to my home. They arrived on time, set up everything in my backyard and were ready to go very quickly. The table and chairs were brought by them and looked fabulous. The dinner and a show by the Teppan Grill Master was so fun and we all laughed and enjoyed the meal. Everything was super-fresh and grilled to perfection. I will absolutely have them back again for another event. They even boxed up all the food that was left so each person had a to-go box for themselves. Afterwards, they cleaned up and packed up, leaving my backyard spotless. Thanks guys! read more

This is my second time having the unruly grill come and provide dinner and show for us. They are absolutely amazing to work with!

I will definitely be using them again. They do it ALL read more

I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The chairs were hard and uncomfortable. The weight staff and host staff were friendly.

The best! It's like one of those awesome mom and pop places you'd go 20 years ago: incredible bang for your buck. The prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. I only wish they had a more centralized online presence where we could easily check the availability of the food truck, as I know they are closed one day out of the week but I've shown up numerous evenings when they weren't there. Other than that, this is one of my new favorite places, excited to see them grow! read more

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!! read more

We hired the Unruly grill for my mom's retirement party. From start to finish, they made the process so easy. All we had to do was select an entrée. They came an hour before the scheduled dinner to set up and provided EVERYTHING including the chairs, decorations, music, tables, table cloth, silverware. They accommodated a vegan member in our party and three kids. The food was so plentiful that we will be eating leftovers for days. The show was great! The kids and the adults loved the interaction and tricks! They even cleaned our patio after the event. We could not be happier with this Unruly Grill and could not more highly recommend them to you! read more

I hosted a backyard teppanyaki / Super Bowl party yesterday and The Unruly Grill provided such a fantastic experience for me and my family! I had been working with Carla for the past few months to get all of the information and reserve the date, and she was exceptionally helpful and kind despite the many questions I threw her way! I also spoke with Junior, and he was a wealth of information about the food and gluten free options that are available. Our chef was Jonathan and our server was Nestor. They were both so kind, professional, and FUN and our group really had a good time with them. I could not believe the value for the cost-- they really provide a great service by bringing all of the tables, chairs, linens, tableware, and food, and cleaning it all up when they are done! It was a very smooth and easy party to host and I actually got to enjoy time with my guests. The food was FABULOUS-- in my opinion it was actually a lot better than a sit-down teppanyaki restaurant and we ALL had food leftover after! Thanks so much to the great team at The Unruly Grill. Our family has already referred you to several of our friends and family in the OC area, and we're talking about booking another event with you in the summer! read more

We used unruly grill for my stepson's 30th birthday. The staff was amazing. Extremely polite and helpful. Cleared plates and offered to get us anything we needed. The food was delicious!

I don't even know where to start! The Unruly Grill was amazing! From start to finish! I can not say enough great things about this company! I reached out to them and they got back to me right away and the rest was flawless! I have never thrown a party where I just show up and provide a cake and alcohol and everything else is completely taken care of! They came early, set up EVERYTHING! The food was incredible (Adults and kids were all happy!) and the entire time they cooked for us was so entertaining! After we all finished enjoying our meals, we went inside for cake and they completely cleaned up EVERYTHING! There was the cook and his assistant and they both were so friendly and so polite! I learned they are a family owned company which I thought was awesome. The Unruly Grill made my Dad's 70th Birthday so special! Don't hesitate to use this company. They are great! read more

We had Unruly Grill out on New Years Eve for a family gathering. From start to finish, it was an A+. The communication and being able to accommodate our booking, being that it was NYE and I called the week before, was so helpful and awesome of them. They had a full schedule but were able to make it work. The ordering, setup, cooking, take-down, and payment were all such easy processes. I wanted something different and special for our family on NYE, and they fully delivered. Our chef was a delight, and the food was delicious. Thank you, Unruly Grill! read more

We hired The Unruly Grill to cater my mom's 85th birthday based on their good yelp reviews. I cannot thank them enough for making our event a night to remember! Everything about the experience was top notch. Our chef, Carlos, and his wife Renata were awesome. Carlos put on a show while making a delicious dinner. The quality of the food was really great and there was SO much of it. I shopped around a little bit before committing to the Unruly Grill and it seemed that their prices were quite reasonable compared to some of the others. I'm so thankful to this company that I actually signed up to yelp so I could leave my first yelp review for them. They deserve it. Well done Unruly Grill and now I've got to find another excuse to hire you again! read more

Quite the best hibachi experience I've ever had! Planned hibachi dinner for my wife's 40th birthday and they exceeded my expectations. They even arrived early to set up tables at my request since I didn't want them setting up during the party's cocktail hour. 1st the setup was gorgeous and we even added our decor too. 2nd, the chefs were top notch. Great cooking skills and the show was fantastic! The guests all had a good time. 3rd the food was definitely true hibachi flavor. From the salad to the fried rice and meats, superb !!!! They even served a lobster tail for the birthday girl even tho we chose the chicken and steak menu. That's awesome. 4th, they were fast and efficient with clean up. And even let us use the chairs for a little bit just for our after dinner magic show. Staff was super attentive to our needs and very nice. Will definitely use them again for future events.
