Got to finally try this place out and it was really good! Great selection of meat and great service. We had a little variety of everything. From Waygu to some seafood options like shrimp, scallops and crab claws. The meats were really fresh and nicely portioned. We had some great service, they always came by to help us change out the grill and teach us a little a bit about the menu items. I say go with a nice group that can eat and enjoy some nice grilling !

Great food with stellar service! We ordered beef tongue and the 5-kind assorted meat with salt, and they taste extremely flavorful. The rice was also unexpectedly good with the bbq sauce. The waiter was super nice and helped us ask what kind of rice the restaurant uses.

My husband and I weren’t overly impressed here. We’ve been to plenty of yakiniku places and this is probably closer to the bottom of the list. It was okay, but most of the meat we got ended up being quite chewy and hard to eat. The service was great. Good drink deals for beer and highballs. Ambiance was pretty good, I wish it wasn’t as dark as it was. They have a Japanese style table in the very back which is awesome. I got the matcha/taiyaki dessert which was honestly probably my favorite part of the meal. The matcha ice cream was really good and it’s hard to find taiyaki and it was pretty great as well. I was just underwhelmed here and probably wouldn’t end up going back.

The meat quality was great, compare to other bbq. But sometimes the staff couldn’t understand what I was trying to say, miscommunication sometimes. Over all , so far so good

This place was pretty awesome. I had yakiniku on a trip to Japan and wanted to share the experience with a group of friends. Everyone had a great time, I would say this place is more about the experience than getting full. There were six of us and we ended up ordering five or six plates to grill. I would recommend this to anyone who hasn’t tried yakiniku.

Have been to almost all the Japanese BBQ places and I have to say this is the best of them all clean fast and most importantly very very fresh meats and meals you can taste the difference no doubt in my mind that this is one if not the best restaurants in its class
