HORRIBLE PEOPLE AND FOOD. VERY ANTI AMERICAN
Reviewed By MICHAELFOODCRITIC Jul 17, 2008

A Horrible Experience. These people there and especially managment are apparently ANTI-American, RUDE, ARGUMENTATIVE AND GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT THEY MAY SPIKE YOUR FOOD WITH. If you go - do not turn your back on them. No more "Pearl Harbor" style sneak attacks again for me thank you. Twice was enough, as there are so many other fine Japanese restuarnatns and their employees that really enjoy serving people politely, with no attitude - and with much better and fresh food.
THEIR "FRIENDS/EMPLOYEES" CAN WRITE THEIR BOGUS REVIEWS, BUT THIS IS A VERY BAD PLACE. WHY RISK YOUR HEALTH AND DINING EXPERINCE TO THESE HORRIBLE PEOPLE. AND IT IS TERRIBLY EXPENSIVE.

"Although outdoor Kitayama diners are subject to a variety of noise courtesy of the nearby John Wayne Airport and the adjacent 73 Freeway, the building's zen-like design and tranquil garden make it easy to forget those loud 747s roaring overhead. The main..."

"Sorry to sound like a snob, but Kitayama is more like an American's fantasy of a good Japanese restaurant than like the real thing. I think I am qualified to judge this after having spent most of my adult...."
