    As usual both my wife and I had another superb meal !!! We arrived about 15 minutes early but we were seated after less than 10 minutes . So that's the first plus in their favor. Our waitress was there within 10.minutes to take our drink orders. Plus number two. The only thing that I found lacking was the number of chefs in attendance ( I think that it's because of the time of day, but if you want my opinion there should have been 3 or 4 chefs on duty because of the time of year) there were only two when we arrived . But once our chef came to our table he first apologized (which he shouldn't have to do) and then he put on a stellar performance and everyone at the table got a really good meal and show also !!?!!

    We had one of our best dinners at Roy’s waikaloa almost 20 years ago. We’ve had a few dinners there since. The Anaheim location did not disappoint. Our service was great and accommodated special requests. Food was delicious. I do think the bathrooms in general could use an update but they were clean. Wish we had a Roy’s in Houston

    We have never been to this location. The Tustin location is great, so we decided to try the Brea location since it is closer to home. It’s a beautiful interior and a lot bigger than the Tustin one. Even seating outside which I would like to try during the summer. The food was delicious and possibly better. The servers were fantastic and very helpful. They played a prefect balance of always around but not overly interrupting. The noise was minimal when we first arrived but got louder as more customers were seated. Seems the noise level would be reasonable for a JBBQ place normally but loud if filled to the brim with people. We look forward to going back to this location.

    Had to try the full omakase as I was very curious about their fusion and traditional courses The opening course was Peruvian ceviche with striped bass, quality of the fish and freshness of the lime used was noticeable and addictive, with a twist on the sweet potato garnish this was a great way to start. Next courses did not fall behind with a yuzu shrimp lime and Hokkaido scallop full of flavor that leaves you wanting more. Tiradito and Peruvian causa were plated beautifully, perfect balance of flavor and presentation. Nigiri selection was amazing with a variety to sample in between classic and fusion options. A crunchy nori Handroll and a light Peruvian soup where the perfect palate cleansers to finish with a flavorful Lucuma soufflé. I’ll come back for another round, this defnitley needs to be repeated
