Red Rock-The shops SantaAnita/レッドロック サンタアニータ: Reviews & Ratings
This was a really good spot if it's just 2 or 3 people party. Only 4 stars because I can't give it a 3 if it isn't perfect and you can't bring a big party. The food was excellent. I got the omi rice and hamburg patty. It's is a blend of pork and beef. Juicy and very flavorful. Also got the flank steak rice and small salad. It was also very tender and tasted good. The food was not complicated but all around cooked well and tasted great. I advise getting the demi glaze and side of the Cajun spicy sauce. Delicious if you like spicier food or feel like it. Service was real good and will be back. Can be a long wait at peak hours but worth it.
The food is rich, comforting, and clearly made with care the kind of spot you go to when you want something hearty and satisfying, not just “mall food.” I had the pleasure of eating the Potato Salad w/Bacon, Omurice Curry w/Steak Cut, and got to try the Omurice Hamburg Steak w/Demi-glace. Overall each dish was flavorful and the meat was cooked to perfection. Curry sauce is heavy with pepper so it matches with the steak cut. As for the demi-glace is mellow and compliments the tomato rice.
Got excited to eat it after my Japan trip! Got there around 3:00 so there were seats available. Sat down and a complimentary miso soup arrived for each person. Its what you'd expect. Angus cut steak don - I asked for medium rare. Well seasoned and enough sauce on rice! I ate the whole bowl. Highly recommend this dish! Lots of rice! Us Kobe American slice beef don - 5 oz - delicious! You can add an egg for an extra charge. I'd get it with the raw yolk. After mixing it, it's creamy and delicious with every bite! Their bowl comes with their white sauce as well. Loved this dish. 5 oz may not be enough. So getting a 10 oz is recommended. I got both before and I can still eat the 10 oz bowl. Rice does seem to be a little less for the 10 oz meat. Baked Hamburg steak - the sauce porfion was way more than enough. Can put it onto your rice if you want to as well! It was juicy! Not dry at all. Delicious! Id come more often if the price was lowered. The price is considered quite high in my opinion. That's the only thing that shocked me. Besides that. I'd say to come try it at least once!
This was a great place to come grab some tasty meats. We got the US Kobe American slice beef don - 5 oz and beef tongue. Highly recommend to add an egg for an extra charge. The rice also has a sauce on the bottom making it very flavorful overall even without the meat. This place is a little hidden, exit through Nordstrom’s and turn right vs find Din Ta Fung and go around the corner. It’s low bar seating so I would come with a smaller group. The food comes out fast and service is good but definitely meant as an eat and then go place. It is a little pricey but you’re paying for the meat quality. I would definitely come back!
A unique dining experience that specializes in different types of beef. Their sliced beef don is cooked at very low temperatures and served at room temperature on a bed of rice. The meat has an interesting texture that is soft and a bit chewy. They also have more classic steak options that you can specify the doneness and also served on rice. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and explained the different menu options which is very helpful if you are trying it for the first time. The seating is quite limited and bar style only. Since it is high quality beef the meals are on the pricier side, but served in a very casual environment.
I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while. Din tai fung is the reason I come to this mall but it was finally time. I got the pork cutlet curry. It was incredible. The whole experience was great. The like the vibe of getting to sit in a counter style restaurant. Service was great and the food. The food was sooooo good.
Still in their soft opening phase, this Japanese eatery is known for their BEEF. Everything on their menu is about the beef, and it really shows in the dishes. I got the hamburg curry (they gave me an egg on top because of a special promo for the soft opening) and an Angus steak rice. Even the rice was delicious, each grain was soft and fluffy, finely separated. The curry sauce complimented the patty well. So much flavor and so juicy. Price was a little high but for this quality, it's a good meal to have every now and then!
We went here from a recommendation from my brother. The line was pretty short when we went. They have limited seating so larger groups would be a little harder and we were seated at the counter. I got the beef and my wife got the tongue. Overall the food was tasty. I really liked the sauce with the beef bowl. I got the smaller portion for the beef and it was enough for me. They cooked the tongue well and it was tender. We both added the egg and it was worth it. Overall pretty good spot and I would go again when I’m in the SGV.

Nestled in the heart of Arcadia, California, Red Rock-The shops SantaAnita/レッドロック サンタアニータ is a standout Japanese-Western fusion restaurant that elevates simple, hearty dishes into memorable meals. Specializing in premium American Kobe beef served donburi-style, this cozy eatery offers a refined twist on comfort food, perfect for intimate gatherings or casual solo dining.
Their US Kobe Sliced Beef Don with added egg is a sublime highlight—tender, melt-in-your-mouth slices of well-seasoned beef laid over a bed of tomato-infused rice, crowned with a creamy egg yolk that transforms each bite into a rich, silky experience. The layering of flavors—savory, tangy, and slightly sweet—balances beautifully, illustrating the kitchen’s precision and care in execution.
Another must-try is the US Kobe Kalbi Yakiniku Don, featuring perfectly grilled, juicy short ribs with flavors elevated by a smoky, slightly spicy sauce that complements the natural sweetness of the meat. The accompanying miso soup acts as a light, refreshing counterpoint, completing the meal with a traditional touch.
Red Rock excels at marrying quality ingredients with straightforward cooking techniques. The meat is always cooked to pristine standards, tender yet flavorful, while sauces like their demi-glace or unique white sauce on the rice enhance rather than overpower the main components. The portion sizes are generous, especially the 10 oz bowls, satisfying hearty appetites without wastage.
While seating is limited to bar-style arrangements, creating an intimate and relaxed atmosphere, the slightly higher price point reflects the superior grade of beef and careful preparation. Service is friendly and knowledgeable, guiding first-timers through the nuances of their menu, which helps deepen appreciation for each dish.
In essence, Red Rock delivers a comforting yet refined dining experience that respects Japanese culinary traditions while embracing Western flavors. The balance of taste, texture, and presentation leaves a lasting impression, making it well worth a visit for those craving rich, satisfying beef dishes with a creative edge.
