  Last minute, my family and I wanted to eat out for my grandma's 90th birthday. We called many places with long waits and Yojie had the space for us. I love Yojie from past experience but tonight was great! All 10 of us sat along the bar together and were served by the sweetest employees. The food was phenomenal as always, but today the service is what really stood out. All questions were answered and all items asked for was received, with grace. They sang happy birthday my grandma and gave her a generous scoop of green tea ice cream. She was so happy!
  
  For those curious about the food, my personal favorite is the sukiyaki with the Yojie cut

  This place is just okay. I didn't feel like the price matched the experience. You get the standard veggies, noodles, and rice that comes with each meat purchase, and sauces depending on the broth you choose. I got the veggie platter instead of a meat, which didn't feel worth it at all. It just felt like I paid an extra $15 for extra napa, tofu, mushrooms, and noodles. We also got the yojie meat and kurobuta pork, which was probably the best part of the meal. The tonkotsu broth tasted like instant noodle broth, which I wouldn't normally mind, but they charge an extra $3 for it.
  
  I wouldn't come with more than three people too since it's only bar style seating so you'd always sit in a line. The service for dinner on a Tuesday was great though! The servers always checked up on us and had a pleasant attitude. This place isn't bad, I just wouldn't come back since there are lots of better options that are more reasonably priced.

  This place is awesome. It was a great experience. Food was so fresh and the service was excellent from the moment we stepped into the restaurant. Waitresses are very attentive and take their time explaining the menu and putting the sauces together for you.
  
  They will be changing the name later this year so that's good to know. I'll be coming back soon for more delicious food and the quantity is great! I was stuffed and didn't eat anything else after my early dinner.

  I'm going through all these good reviews and wondering how our experiences are so different.
  
  Parking is in a shared lot, but the plaza seems very busy. Shouldn't be too difficult to find a spot though.
  
  Service was okay. Not awful, but there were definitely some delays. Main one was when we clearly stopped eating and they even turned our stoves off for us, but it still took a while for them to come back to clean up/offer dessert/offer the check.
  
  Atmosphere is interesting. It's a communal round bar type set up. You're sitting across from strangers and next to your party. Hard to keep a conversation if you have a big group, but perfectly fine for couples. There's things to do while you wait for a seat. I didn't explore, but I saw a mini foosball table and a selfie center.
  
  Most importantly though is the food. I got the shabu shabu combo with angus beef and kurobuta pork. The beef was pretty good, but the pork was amazing. I really enjoyed it. The side veggies were basic; no issues there.
  
  The main problem came with the "broth". It was basically just water. You can zoom into my picture and see the tiny bit of kelp they put to flavor the water. It did nothing. I had to improv a soup by throwing in garlic, green onion, pepper flakes, and ponzu before I bothered cooking any of my food in it. It was better than water, but still not that great. Two of my friends gave up on their "broth" and just used another friend's sukiyaki pot.
  
  Sukiyaki friend clearly enjoyed her overall meal more than we did, so maybe we just ordered the wrong thing.
  
  Pricing though? I don't know if it's worth it. The cuts of meat were definitely good, but I didn't leave completely full. Some of us actually got hungry again a very short while later.

  First time here at this very location, but I have been to other Yojie's in Los Angeles and Diamond Bar when it was still open. Aside from the price, the menu hasn't changed. They serve classical Japanese style shabu-shabu with vegetables,  steamed rice, and two variety dipping sauces.
  
  The quality of the meat and the freshness of the vegetable were there. I was able the see the marbling around the cut, and the vegetable dish was compact with assorted vegetables and udon noodle. I especially enjoyed dipping the beef in both soy sauce-based and peanut-based sauce.
  
  My seating station was clean, and the service was nice. The new owner introduced himself, and the other servers were attentive to my needs. Overall, I would come back to this restaurant. The quality reminded me of other Yojie locations. I had a pleasant experience.
