Gokumi@Santa Ana ★★★

Fantastic First Yakitori Omakase w/ Sake Pairing Pop-Up Event. Over 20 courses with super generous portion that included various appetizers, yakitori course, A5 Miyazaki beef, fried dishes, ramen, and even dessert. Vegetables would be nice to balance the meat. Guest count was limited to 14 people and was very well under control. Ryo-san is an amazing Yakitori Chef. Sake presented by Fifth Taste. $150 per person includes sake pairing. Great deal. Our go-to Yakitori place after visiting Disneyland. Cold UCC Green tea $3.50. Free limited parking in lot.
