F&F Japanese Grill — Restaurant in College Station

Atmosphere: Prior to entering the building, you can see the "F & F" logo in red color lettering, but if for some reason you don't notice that, you can also see the big window decal sticker promoting their business on the cars license plate. Entering was an experience in of itself, I didn't even realize the menu in front of me because I was so fixated on the wall art with all the cars and manga style display. The music in the establishment was fitting and gave it an overall great vibe. It seemed very spacious and really liked the garage vibe inside and the garage lights over some of the table accentuated that. Overall they were really welcoming and cleanliness was at their top concern. From having multiple hand sanitizers throughout the restaurant, as well that constant cleaning of the grill, it's great to see that much pride for their business but moreso for the customer as well.

Service: Service was really great from the moment we entered the building. We were greeted by 3 of the staff members and upon reaching the front, they asked if we were ready to order or if we had any recommendations. It being our first time, I asked for a a recommendation in which I was given the most popular dish and was told it was full in flavor. After we placed our order, we sat down and within 5 minutes, we were given our food and then began to eat. The staff was so attentive to the customers, they came by multiple times during our meal to ask if everything was okay or if we needed anything else. Service was top notch.

Quality: As mentioned before, I ended up going with what one of the main staff recommended which see in the photo was the Beef Bimibpap. It fell under the tune-up category and will probably end up being one of my go-to plates. The meat alone had so much flavor but all the food in the bowl meshed so well with each other. The sauce gave it the extra oomf to put the flavor on a different scale and will be sure to request it on my next meal. My wife ended up getting the chicken furious entree with noodles and the amount of food in both of our meals was more than enough. I will be definitely be coming back again soon.

Recommendation: If you are unsure what to get or unsure of any of the tune-up meals, you can not go wrong with the...

not the greatest service experience - there were three other people inside the establishment (that i saw): a cook, a cashier, and someone sitting in the corner by the soda fountain, who seemed to me to be either the owner or a manager, given how the cashier went to talk to them after bringing our food out. they had brought in their own reusable cup and what appeared to be walmart bags. maybe they were a friend of the cashier’s? i dont know, they didnt seem like a customer. the food was nice, i got the steak and shrimp hibachi and my girlfriend got the beef bibimbap and we split a 4pc gyoza (off the chain btw, very crispy shell, very flavorful pork). our food came out really fast, in about 5 min or so. after peeling the tails off the shrimp i went to grab a napkin, but the only napkins we were offered came included with the plastic utensils in a cellophane wrapper. i went up to the counter to ask for more napkins, but no one was there. i waited about 30 seconds before spotting a couple napkins (there were none available elsewhere) so i reached over the counter to grab them. the only person who saw me do this was the one who was sitting by the soda fountain, on their phone (owner?). they were playing exclusively k-pop over the speakers, and sure, loads of people like k-pop, but not everyone. i feel like if maybe there were some variety, the atmosphere would’ve been better, reaching a wider, more diverse demographic, which, in a college town, is something people, especially those who have lived here their whole life, have come to expect. no one looked especially busy, yet still, no one offered to clear anything out of our way (everything was served in styrofoam to go containers anyways), no one came to ask us how our food was, no one told us “thanks, come back and see us!” and honestly, i probably won’t. i asked my gf what she rated the food, she gave it a reasonable 6/10; she gave the service a 2/10. thusly, that brings about a 2-star dining experience for about $40 (including our $8 cash tip). the greatest part of the experience was definitely the gyoza, but i dont think it’s enough to make me come back, considering tanaka ramen is right across...

I was so close to giving this place 5 stars. The establishment itself is in great condition. It looks to be very new and clean overall. I loved that you can watch the cooks make your food. Our food came out pretty quickly, and it was very, very good. The chicken was cooked perfectly, as were my noodles and veggies. My steak was a little more well done than I would have liked. However, I wasn't asked how I wanted it to be cooked, so I assumed it's just not an option here for some reason. My husband and I both agreed that there definitely could have been more veggies with the meals. There was only cabbage, broccoli, and carrots. Most places I've been to like this include zucchini as well and sometimes mushrooms and water chestnuts. Fewer noodles instead would have been fine, but they were absolutely delicious. The sauces that came with our orders were fantastic as well! The bathrooms weren't clean, unfortunately (I always have my husband check out the men's room for me). But, they weren't filthy or disgusting in any way, just trash overflowing and on the floor. Overall, the quality of the food matched the prices, and I would definitely...
