- TTifaniLos Angeles •18 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoPrecious was our chef and she was amazing!!!! Food cooked to perfection and super sweet! I appreciate how she read the table. There was an older crowd at her table and she could tell we wanted to eat and not be too entertained by the loud clacking of the knife and spatula! Funny and personable. Would definitely go back to her table!!!More infoBenihana - Downey, CAPrice: Moderate• Japanese• Downey / Norwalk / Santa Fe Springs•3.9

- NNedaOrange County •1 review4.0Dined 3 days agoWe drove 45 min to get there “The Source” mall. We had a bit of difficulties to find the restaurant, there is no directory. 🤔 They kindly accepted our delay of 15 min. We ordered some appetizers that were delicious. My husband ordered beef noodle and I ordered a combo sushi + roll. His food came after 20 min which was okay but mine came about an hour later. I was losing my appetite and was very close to cancel it, but we drove so long to eat there. I decided to wait. Those assorted sushi were delicious but the spicy tuna roll was extremely spicy and hot. 🥵 considering that I like spicy and have a high tolerance for it, if I say it was tooo spucy, I’m not exaggerating. We understood that it was the V Day and super busy, but the manager could have more cooks instead of just two. That’s why I gave a low rating for the service not because of our server, she was very polite, but because of the management. When we asked for some discount and they waved my one drink ($13). Still we appreciated it. I still recommend this restaurant because they food is delicious and freshly made. The crew are polite and respectful.More infoIzakaya IchiePrice: Moderate• Japanese• Buena Park•4.6
