" Tamaen has quickly become my favorite spot for BBQ. The quality of their Wagyu is astonishing, and you can tell it's authentic. I wish they would offer more sides as the quality is so high that I want to pair everything perfectly! I also love that the staff is so friendly and helpful. A real hidden gem in Lomita! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not impressed! The gathering I organized here turned out to be a letdown. The food was overcooked and bland, and the service felt rushed. I was sincerely excited for a premium BBQ experience and left very disappointed. I won't be returning and wouldn't recommend it to others based on my experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely terrible experience. The food was bland and did not meet the expectations set by the hype. On top of that, service was inattentive, and I had to flag down our server multiple times. I won't be returning and would not recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Japanese BBQ. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is the only spot I've found that serves authentic A5 and it's worth every cent. The staff were happy to guide us through the menu and recommend the best options to have. I loved making my own choices for grilling right at the table, it felt more personalized. I would definitely suggest going with friends to share various dishes. The atmosphere is casual yet cozy, perfect for a night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here, and it was perfect! We had the celebrity set which comes with a nice variety of meat. Our server was attentive, explaining every cut and making sure we had everything we needed. The ambiance made it romantic without being stuffy. The dining experience was definitely worth every penny. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! The best Japanese BBQ experience I’ve ever had. The quality with the A5 Wagyu was unbelievable – literally melts in your mouth. I loved the interactive aspect of grilling at the table. Every bite was pure bliss. Highly recommend the chef's specials if you want to splurge a little. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and really made our experience special. Can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my visit didn’t live up to the hype. The meat was decent but tasted more like average BBQ with nothing particularly special. The service was friendly, but that didn’t make up for the lack of flavorful dishes. I have had better experiences elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)
