If you're a fan of wrestling I highly recommend Ribera. Many wrestlers from The Rock, Hulk Hogan, AJ Styles have eaten here and their pictures and autographs are all over the place. I wish I could of done the Challenger, but the steak was very good. Also don't know how the line is on a weekend, but wasn't bad on a weekday.
★★★★★
This steak is a very good. What makes the biggest difference is the quality of the meat and the godly sauce.
The atmosphere is intimate and you get what you come for. They have a small menu and I think that's a good thing for a smaller shop because each item is excellent. Important info this shop is cash only but there are couple conbinis close by with ATMs
★★★
A steakhouse that became famous because of Akiyama-Choo. I expected it to be similar to Ikinari, but it was much more delicious than I expected.
The taste of the steak is delicious even if you eat it with just pepper without dipping it in sauce! Rather, I felt that the sauce was too strong and ruined the taste of the meat.
There were too many people (especially Koreans) so I was out of my mind and the air conditioning in the restaurant was not good, so the eating environment was not good. Because the business was going well, they were not friendly.
★★★★
If you’re a wrestling fan, you’ll love and enjoy every second of it for sure. For any tourist, the experience and atmosphere I will say is a must try as it’s something you won’t really find anywhere else. The steaks are all tender and good in their own ways but this is definitely not a super high end steak place. The steaks have little to no seasoning but are still delicious nonetheless. All in all, a must try restaurant for anyone.
★★★★★
When I want a good lean steak, I come here.
As soon as the one pound steak is delivered, I slide the butter on top between the meat and the griddle to get the slightly burnt flavor of the butter on the meat, and then pour a lot of the special sauce on it and eat it with rice, which is a shortcut to heaven in my opinion (?).
Anyway, the steaks at this restaurant are really delicious and I highly recommend you to try them.
