It’s a great spot to go with friends or family because cooking at the table makes the experience fun and interactive. Just a heads up it gets really hot around the grill. Most of the food we ordered was really good. The things I didn’t love were the fried chicken bites (the texture felt strange and the inside looked a bit purple) and the ramen the broth just wasn’t for me. But that might be personal preference. Besides that, everything else was good, and I still think it’s worth going at least once for the experience. It’s a nice place to try with a group and enjoy the grill style cooking.
It’s a great spot for Japanese style food. The calamari appetizer is amazing. You can find good sake and drinks with hotpot and bbqs. The service was a bit slow with some of the items and bar area unavailable.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience thanks to our waitress, Min. She is truly top notch! Not only is she beautiful, but she is incredibly kind and always has a warm smile on her face. She checked on our table frequently to make sure we had everything we needed and made us feel genuinely cared for throughout our visit. I honestly haven’t experienced service this attentive and friendly in a very long time. She made our meal even more enjoyable, and we will definitely be back because of her outstanding service.
We did all you can eat and the service was quick and great. Nice waiters. Atmosphere can be better though as it was really hot inside the restaurant especially the last room where there's actually no AC, so they kindly seated us somewhere else. They should have a better AC system esp with all the grills plus kitchen in the restaurant. Meat qualities were pretty good (marinated ones were bit too sweet for my liking) but we got the boba ice cream mochi dessert, and the texture was really abnormal/dry/crumbly that a mochi should not be. Tbh I'm pretty sure that mochi ice cream was around 5 years old judging by the texture and how the mochi just fell apart after taking a bite. I know it's a meat restaurant so who cares about the dessert but we were really turned off by it at the end of our me
Came with my friend to do AYCE and there is a good amount of selection from the AYCE menu. My favorite would have to be all the meat with the umakara sauce. My other favorite would have the be the Harami Skirt Steak. The Steak was tender and really amazing. The service was great and our server checked up on us if we want to order more when we are almost finished with the meat. I think this place is a great place to visit if you’re in the area.
