I was in last week, and thought about going back tonight. But, then I thought about the 3 Japanese businessmen that came in 10 minutes after me the last time, and the lady taking orders just blew them off. Apparently they were supposed to be picking up 10 dinners wherever they got them at. (I understand a little Japanese) After a few minutes, they agreed that they were being ignored and left. As a former restaurant owner, had I reviewed the tape and could hear their comments, to find out that there was a possible $350-$500 order let walk out the door, but the possibility of future Japanese sales this close to the airport are incalculable. I'm not sure if this person would still be in my employment.I know that I can't walk back in, and the food was enjoyable. Quite a shame.

This place has a cockroach problem, after ordering and waiting a few minutes. Saw three running around the floor. Makes me wonder how clean the rest of the place is

Nothing like the advertising. Not a healthy option. High fructose corn syrup generic syrups for their "protein bowls." The chicken got microwaved too long and my "veggies" were tossed on the bowl still cold (the kind of veggies your grandparents get served in the nursing home). The dumplings were soggy and flacid. The "ribeye" they advertise is more of an "unidentified meat shaving." Save yourself the disappointment and just go to Panda Express next door. Not what I was expecting and very unimpressed. Terrible seating environment, not welcoming at all. Music is too loud, lights make you feel like you're in the ER waiting room. They put everything in single use plastic like they're personally trying to cover the beach in trash. This place is a joke. Trying to trademark "Eat Smart Be Healthy" while serving hot garbage. From all the reviews for restaurants near LAX, it looks like folks should save themselves the money and the pollution and just go hungry for a couple hours. Everything in the immediate vicinity is hot trash.

The most awkward encounter with the young lady cashier. I tell her that I want a rice bowl. She asked me am I OK??? I was so confused so I asked her what did she say and she said "I asked if you're okay because you look sad" still very confused. I didn't know I was sad lol... I also don't feel that I need to be happy to order a rice bowl... I also didn't know that this location offered free therapy with an order of rice. I said nothing back, just walked out without ordering. I don't know if this lady is always like this but it's such a weird thing to ask a customer. I wasn't crying or anything I wasn't even rude. I hope management talks to her about how to greet customers

I went in Monday night around 8:20pm to pick up my mobile order and I just gotta say the young woman who was working that night was so attentive and she was very nice and helpful. I hope she gets recognition on her hard work. She gave great customer service. Thank you again for your awesome service. The food was fresh and so delicious. I ordered the Family Meal with chicken and the rib eye steak. Quality was great.

Such great service & food is amazing always fresh!
The food was under cocked. It had a little bit of chicken and rice. Their was a hair on my food and a little bug inside my bowl. The customer service was really bad.

The food doesn't look at all like the photos on the menu. We didn't care for this at all. We won't go back to any location. The chicken breast was gull of fat and grizzle. Both my wife and I asked for the fried wontons but the waitress didnt hear wither of us!
