  One of the worst restaurant I have seen in my life. I'm not sure how they got that high rating. I would give them negative 5. You will get better food in any fast food restaurant. They are just regular 1 star restaurant. Do not waste you money as they are highly priced, and you will get nothing for that price. For two of us, we paid around $180 (without any alcoholic drinks). Avoid them at any cost. Just visit any fast food restaurant instead.

  There's something about a restaurant that surprises. H&TB is surprisingly charming given its Century City location. It's surprisingly well designed and approachable, it's menu offers a surprising complex layering of flavors in its dishes that surprisingly does not overwhelm or become pretentious. And it's all surprisingly less expensive than you might imagine, though it ain't cheap.

  Like a fun secret, this tucked away restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, delicious food, and zero pretension. And if you can make it for happy hour, do yourself a favor and get the burger. You'll never be the same.

  I really like this restaurant. The problem is that there are so many good restaurants here. The wild boar ribs are fantastic as is the crispy chicken and honey. The crispy pork dinner is maybe the best dish on the menu although the black cod in dashi was really good also. My only complaint is that for the price some of the dishes were rather small. Our party of 4 ordered several appetizers to share and an entree each. With wine, a couple of drinks and 2 beers the bill without tip was $369. Included was a $11.80 kitchen charge which i was told was a separate tip for the kitchen. Now if you leave out the alcohol and the tax and leave a 20% tip in addition to the kitchen charge, this gets to be a little pricy. I was told that this is being done so that the kitchen staff pay can approach that of the waiters????? I have never seen this before. I was tempted to deduct this amount from my usual tip. I didnt this time but i have to think this one through.
