It was an incredible experience from start to finish. The food was so good. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly high-quality ingredients. But what really stood out was the service. Tim was attentive and friendly. She explained the cuts, checked in at the right moments, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. Highly recommend.

I LOVE LOVE LOVED the food and quality service I received today at my visit, Tim was a pleasure to be served by. The proteins were absolutely delicious, the vegetables were fresh, and I had so many options ranging from various prices including the combo meals that they have on their menu. I actually asked for spicy mayo to eat with my food and I honestly didn’t need it lol. Definitely will be returning again.

Ordered the Yakuniku Platter $170, for a party of 4 adults and 1 child. The food was great overall. Would have loved to see rice with the order, but you have to order that separately, $237.95 out the door service charge was already included. You also cook the meat yourself but your server is there to guide you through it. More beef options vs pork but yeah a good experience overall.

We went there for lunch on weekend. Our server, Nye, was very friendly and attentive. He explained the choices on the menu very clearly. He also changed the grill as needed. The meat quality is excellent and the vegetables are all fresh and crisp. The sauces that accompany the meat also very tasty. Try their house sake. They serve it warm and it compliment the meal very well. All in all, we were very satisfied and will be back for sure.

If I could give my experience here 10 stars I would!!!! The moment we walked in the staff was so welcoming and gave recommendations for first time customers! Our waiter, Moiz, was a great help and brought everything out in a timely manner. The restaurant is clean and aesthetically pleasing, with high quality food I will be back and I look forward to trying more items on their menu
