Yami Yaki

What an amazing surprise! The food is excellent. The spice level is just right. Make sure you tell them what spice level you want. The meats are all super fresh the way this place works. Is you pick out what you want and they cook it for you kind of like a Japanese version of Mongolian barbecue. The place is super clean even the bathroom is clean. Can’t wait to drive by here again.

First time to visit! The foods were soo good and owners were so nice and sweet! It’s also fun they have a custom teppanyaki (or yakisoba) system in there with their signature sauces! Definitely gonna visit there again! They recently moved to here from Echo Park area so the inside place looked different from the past pics if it’s helpful for y’all :)

I did not expect such an outstanding experience—the food was not only delicious but arrived remarkably quickly. I ordered rice with shrimp, vegetables, and tofu, and the gracious hosts even surprised me with complimentary gyoza, which were excellent. The hospitality was exceptionally warm, making me feel like a longtime friend rather than a first-time guest. I will definitely be making a special trip to return.

Never judge a book by its cover, nor a street corner by its holes and exposed wires. This is the best sushi you will find for the price, produced by the nicest owners you can find. Too often you will find establishments that embody "all sizzle, no steak." Not here. Each plate is made with passion and care with the food being the number one focus. Want to be cared for as a customer with a delicious and affordable menu? Make the trip down, because it has certainly left ME hungry for more.

We visited the small Japanese restaurant Yami Yaki with our family and were absolutely amazed! This place is truly unique. The food is prepared by a wonderful woman, occasionally assisted by a man, and you can feel the love they put into every dish. One of the most interesting aspects of this place is that you get to choose your own ingredients, and they cook them for you. I had never seen anything like this before, but it turned out to be a really fun and engaging experience. We tried as many dishes as possible, and every single one was absolutely delicious! Although the restaurant doesn’t have much of an interior, the food more than makes up for it. Everything is fresh and incredibly flavorful. The service is exceptional—the woman who runs the place is kind, attentive, and genuinely cares about her guests. What impressed me the most was seeing children helping out, serving food with the sweetest smiles and such care, which is rare to find in the U.S. We were beyond satisfied with the food, the atmosphere, the service, and the prices. This is one of those hidden gems you’ll want to return to again and again. Highly recommend!
