Sauce options (top left - garlic butter; top right - Diablo; bottom left - Yum Yium; bottom right - ginger)
Vickie V.

This place only has 22 reviews? We're about to change that. I'd seen this place on my Insta and had followed it but hadn't tried it till yesterday when I discovered my go to hibachi delivery place no longer delivered to me. It was only a matter of time because this place was helluva far from where I live. So, my quest for a new hibachi place to deliver to me commenced and this place popped up. That jostled my memory that I had wanted to try it and the rest is history. My go to is always a filet mignon (medium well) combo with shrimp and fried rice. I'm going to be honest, the filet was tender and wonderful but it wasn't medium well. I didn't expect it to be though because other than ordering at a sit down place, this request hasn't ever been fulfilled. For me, this wasn't an issue as the meat wasn't overcooked and everything tasted perfect. The bonus here is that the plate comes with fried rice and you don't have to pay more for that option. Your plate also comes with hibachi style veggies (carrots, broccoli, zucchini and onions) and not frozen "steamed" veggies like some other places. You get six shrimp and a decent amount of beef in my opinion. No matter how much fried rice you give me, I will always say it can come with more because I absolutely carbs. Now for the sauces - listen up, because for me, the sauces are integral to the hibachi experience. You get 4 sauces per order and they will sell you additional ones but that's not an option on a delivery platform (so you'll have to call and work that out with the restaurant). Your options are yum yum (pink sauce), diablo (spicy pink sauce), ginger and garlic butter. The ginger was a tad too salty for me but the rest of the sauces passed the vibe test. Don't be scared off by the name "diablo" - it has a slight kick but you won't be breathing . Shout out to Juan who hooked up this first time girlie with extra sauces so she could try them all and indulge in saucing up her meal. Please note the sauce containers are pretty small. Ya'll think you can start sizing up your sauces? I had a promo code so I needed to order a certain minimum. I refused to pay for soda when I have tons here so I went with a side of veggies. The platform said steamed veggies so when I called Juan, I made sure they were hibachi style veggies and not steamed (they were hibachi style). One recommendation would be to offer a side of fried rice. I'd much have preferred that over the veggies. I hope this is an option next time I order. My food arrived warm and I devoured it. I will no longer shed tears over the loss of my other hibachi spot as I've found one I'm just as happy with. As provided above, not only was my food a yummy in my tummy experience, the customer service offered by Juan was also superb. Support this joint and don't you guys leave the Eagle Rock area or I'll once again lose my hibachi go to.

Ordered the Tokyo Special and omg this is by far my fav combo. So much lobster and again the shrimp are massive!! I love my steak rare and they cook to order. The noodles are delicious add the garlic sauce to the noods and wow!!! My go to once a week!!

#12. Hibachi Chicken Plate #6. Filet Mignon Plate #2. Filet Mignon with Lobster Tail Plate

Chicken plate, Filet Mignon plate and Filet Mignon & Lobster Tail Combo plate were delicious! I never order chicken from hibachi places but didn't feel like beef tonight so decided to try the hibachi chicken and it was so tender and flavorful! I was surprised! Comes with so much fried rice and veggies cooked to perfection. The butter garlic sauce was my tav! It's not melted which I thought was odd but the second you put some on or next to your rice or meat, it melts into a heavenly creamy sauce. Will definitely order again!

Delicious and large amount of food for a kids plate! I will definitely be back! Everything was made fresh and was full of flavor!

Love this place, food is amazing every time I visit…read more - Beef roll: you can never go wrong with a beef roll. Beef is so flavorful, would recommend this one! - Panfried pork buns: thicker wrapper than a usual dumpling, juicy and flavorful. I always order these for the table! - Spicy shrimp wontons: good, but not the best spicy wontons I've had - Minced pork over rice: loved this dish, so nostalgic of my mom's cooking - Dan Dan noodles: sesame peanut noodles, perfect combo of textures, a must-try

Disappointment is all this place is with their rude staff... My bff and me were having dinner…read morecomfortably at first, while she stepped away to go to the bathroom. One of the waiters comes and asks if we were ready for to go boxes. I would understand if we would just be talking or showing any signs we were done.. so I told him no... we were still eating... he apologized and walked away. My friend comes back sits down and continues to eat. That same waiter comes back and asks us if we can scoot more to the left ( we were sitting in one of the long tables closest to the register) as they had a big party coming in.. okay fine.. we understood.. and we moved more left and I was already at the edge of the bench... we continue eating and talking... guess what... that same waiter comes back again to tell us if we would move AGAIN pointing to a stool next to me.. because there was a big group coming in... at this time I was fkn annoyed as hell... but my best friend is wayyyy calmer and nicely tells me she will sit on the stool so I didnt have to move again. Fine... she moves.. AGAIN... and we go on eating... that annoying waiter saw I was pissed.. supposedly apologized by giving us two small cups of beer ( which I don't drink).. again... the group started arriving and sitting next to us... keep in mind we were already sitting at the corner of the stupid table.... then guess what...... another waitress comes and asks us AGAIN if we would move to the other stools on the side of the table because they had a huge party and didn't fit and they wanted to make sure we were "comfortable " or if we would move tables... at this point I was fkn pissed... i snapped at her and said no... we have been trying to have dinner and another waiter already pretty much told us to go then since i said we didn't need to go boxes came TWICE to make us move!!! That what was there problem... supposedly she acted surprised that she didn't know someone else had come to try to move us but that they just wanted to make sure we were "comfortable " due to the huge group coming in and we would be better if we moved... i was so livid.. i told her no!! We were not done eating... already was inconvenienced twice by moving me and I just wanted to be left ALONE!!! Again another apology... and to eat comfortably and no rush... SERIOUSLY.... IF NO FKN RUSH WHY TRY MOVES US FROM THE TABLE just to accommodate other people... we were sat there first.... we were actually trying to have dinner.... why the fk come and try make us leave for a group that didn't fit together? Excuse me? Is that our fault?? Were they fk VIP and thats why you had to come move us 3 times to accommodate them!!! The people who didn't fit at the table with their group should be sat somewhere else!! Not our fault they didn't fit together.... at this point I was wayyy to fkn pissed... my bff tried to calm me down.. tell me it's okay... but no... its not OKAY.... they new it was two of us and sat us there... we were also PAYING CUSTOMERS..... fkn annoying.... the female waiter came back and again apologized and said due to what happened our dinner would be complimentary and refunded our money.. also if we wanted anything else to let them know.... for what... so we get told if we wanted to go boxes while we were eating or to be asked to move again to inconvenience us to accommodate other people just arriving... those refunded 40 dollars did NOT take away the sour experience... i used to love this place and took anyone who came to visit me... but hey grate news!!! I will no longer ever go again so YOU GUYS don't have to tell me to sit in one place then asked to be moved 4 times!!!! So fkn annoyed I didn't finish eating and left my food.. my bff took hers.. but WTF was that... Bunch of hypocritical service.... if you want the same experience... go ahead and go... as for us... there are better places to eat at and don't inconvenience us and can have dinner peacefully.... oh... i wish I could give you ZERO STARS

We had a reservation and they got us to our table within 5 minutes, which was great. Plus, the service was fast and all the food arrived at our table really quickly. I ordered the garlic soy fried chicken. I was honestly looking forward to bone-in chicken and was a bit bummed to find out it was entirely boneless. That being said, the chicken itself was perfectly crispy. We also tried the rose tteokbokki since it's one of their popular signature dishes. The sauce was rich and creamy, though I wish they had been a bit more generous with the fish cakes--I could barely find any in the dish. My only real gripe was with the service--we asked for water twice, but the staff completely forgot to bring it out. On the bright side, they gave us complimentary printed photos for everyone in our party for the birthday celebration, which was a really sweet and thoughtful touch!

3.5 for the food, 4 for the hours - aka perfect spot to hit up late night after a show or event. We…read moreswung by as a group of 4 after a concert and were able to get a table pretty quickly around 11 pm on a weekday. We grabbed some shareables like rabokki, soju, and bingsu. Portions are pretty good and there is plenty to share esp if you get one of the big boiling soups of goodness. Tteokbokki was good, not to sweet and not too spicy so hit a good balance. Soju was appropriately priced for the bottle and was a fun little refreshing drink. Now the bingsu, skip it if you can LOL the ice was super super icy like Hawaiian shave ice rather than Korean bingsu. Also felt very melted + iced over so crunchy in an unfortunate way. They also very clearly forgot that we ordered this but were on top of it once we reminded them. Service was friendly and helpful, definitely answered a lot of Qs at other tables when people had Qs about food items, portions, and ingredients. Parking is dicey around here but easy to Uber to/from. Also honestly pretty walkable if you are staying in K-Town. All in all, Anju House absolutely serves its purpose as a solid late night hang, but I wouldn't list it at the top for the beeest Korean food/snacks.

We arrived at Mala Class a little before 2 pm on a weekday and there were a few people inside, but…read moreit wasn't too busy. The restaurant itself is pretty small with only a handful of tables. There was just one server working during our visit, but she was incredibly kind and took the time to explain the menu and walk us through everything. Parking is street parking only, but it was surprisingly easy. There are plenty of marked spaces nearby, and the streets are wide enough that getting in and out of the spots isn't difficult. We ordered the Dan Dan Noodles, Dumplings in Chili Oil, and Mushroom Fries. The Dan Dan Noodles had such a good balance of peanut flavor and spice. We went with the default medium spice level, which honestly wasn't very spicy to me, but it was so well balanced that I didn't feel like it needed anything more. The Mushroom Fries were probably the most unique dish we tried. The seasoning reminded me a little of popcorn chicken, but using mushrooms makes them feel so much lighter and easier to keep eating. I could honestly eat so many of these! The Dumplings in Chili Oil were solid too. They're flatter than the traditional chili oil dumplings I'm used to, and while I enjoyed them, they'd probably be the dish I'd swap out next time just so I could try something new. Overall, everything we ordered was delicious, and there are already other things on the menu I want to try. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back!

Everything was perfection, but our top three (in order from highest) were the noodles, garlic sauce shrimp, and salad. If you've had Joy, these dan dan noodles are astronomically more flavorful, with so much more depth and mouthfeel (the thicker sauce thoroughly coats every noodle). The way the sauce clung to the noodles reminded me of jjajangmyeon -- love, love, love! The food was so good that we ordered the fried chicken wings to go and snack on at home. A hit. Already daydreaming about my next visit... (Service impeccable and place tiny but cute.)

Couldn't stop thinking about the spicy tuna so I had to go back for a date night with the hubby. The music is always great, and the ambiance is dark, cozy, and romantic, perfect for a night out. It gets packed quickly, so I definitely recommend making reservations. We got lucky and walked in without one, but we were seated right in front of the entrance. I didn't mind, though! There's both indoor and outdoor seating, but I personally prefer sitting indoors. The food is delicious! This was my third time here, and I always order the Spicy Tuna Hand Roll... it's definitely a must-try. The Budognochhi, Negima, chicken wings, and Curry Pan are also really good, although they tasted a little salty during my third visit. Maybe it was just me, but either way, I still love this place! I also loved the scallops dish. They had this really good Caesar salad but menu is always changing. Drinks are so cute. Don't steal their cute cups or else they'll charge you lol.
