    Nice Japanese yakitori bar where you can get decent drinks and yakitoris. I really liked squid ink karage and pork belly yakitori. Considering the price, portion is small here. If u want a place with drinks with small foods, i recommend coming here!

    The Spaghetti Squash Casserole is one my favorites. I had it this time with their pesto sauce as a substitute for their delicious tomato sauce for a fun change. It was so amazing that I ordered another one to take home; and my spouse ordered one to go too.The staff here are great and very accommodating as well. We love coming to True Food Kitchen frequently for our date night!!

    The view was everything but due to it being windy we couldn’t really see to much over the hill because the blinds were pulled down so was alittle sad about it. But the food was amazing ( Surf and Turf ). Will definitely be back to try breakfast and hope that its not windy this time lol. Thank you Five on the Hill.

    We went to Aro Latin before the UCLA game at the Rose Bowl. The tacos were so delicious, we had to order another round. Margaritas were amazing. Staff was incredibly friendly. Will definitely go back!

    Short-staffed, and I didn't have time to order food and wait. Establismebtbseemed like it wasn't ready for a big crowd on a Friday evening. The 2 bartenders were doing a great job considering the situation with some of the rude inpatient customers.
