They do NOT know how to cook fish. Their âsides â are white rice with no seasoning at all, and arugula âsaladâ which is arugula with pumpkin seed or something similar (I couldnât tell). I made them redo the Ono as it was totally dry. The second time was edible but barely. And Trip Advisorâs menu link has very wrong prices, again!! I will no longer use Trip Advisor for restaurants. This was the second restaurant in two days in Santa Cruz. And prior to this, I would ONLY use them.

We haven't been here in a long time, so we got takeout food. They serve a normal size portion of meat, rice and Mac salad. The salad was a little warm, and not real good, but the meat has a pretty good flavor. The kalbi ribs were are my favorite, but I tried the regular beef today. It wasn't as soft as the ribs. I love their rain in too.
