This is one of the best Japanese steak/grilling places around. The food is very very good and the prices are reasonable die this type of restaurants. I go here because of the food, the service, and the atmosphere- not for a big, overpriced "show" that ends up costing me more!

After trying this place for the first time recently, I have decided I am a big fan of BariBari. I like the fact that there is only 6 tables unlike Benihana where there are 28 tables. Benihana serves you and before you are even done eating they hand you the check. At Bari Bari the friendly staff does not make you feel like just another number. They are pleasant and don't rush you out when you are done eating. The food is better then I expected. Everything cooked in front of you in the traditional teppanyaki style and was wonderful. Between the 4 of us we had lobster, fillet mignon, chicken and shrimp and everything was made perfectly. Even the chefs are very personable. I plan on returning to Bari Bari many times in the future, Best teppanyaki in ALL of Orange County A+++ Pros: the food, the staff, the entire experience Cons: on a Friday or Saturday night you will have a wait without reservtions

I think these are planted reviews. Either that or the reviewers have never been to really good tasty Japanese teppanyaki. Like so many Japanese restaurants, this is really run by Koreans and they have not been able to get the teppanyaki "show" and more important, the taste to match the best of real Japanese restaurants. I have posted this same review on other sites because suspiciously this place gets way too many 5 stars. It is mediocre at best. I just want truth in reviews. Pros: None Cons: Mediocre food and chef's "show"

Bari Bari is a fun restaurant. They make the food in front of you which is very entertaining. The food is always excellent. I would definitely recommend Bari Bari.

this is a very small japanese steak house. the have tons of regular customers because of how good the food is. go for lunch, its a great deal. they make the food in front of you and the cooks definately make sure you have a good time by tossing things in the air for people to catch in teir mouth and juggling eggs so they land in their hats. the chicken is good. this is a really fun place to come in a large group
