The food was ok, nothing stellar. This is my 2nd time going to this location, and it was still a so-so experience. I ordered the meat lover meal for 2. Miso soup was good, but the side salad had barely any dressing on it. I had to ask 3 people if I could get an extra dressing on the side only to find out there’s some eggshells on my salad. The meat was ok very tiny portion ( 6 kinds ) and not much flavors to it. The meat sushi was tasteless, the meat slices on top of it are tough. I’m not sure if that has been sitting out for a long time, but I can tell it’s not freshly made. Our waiter was very friendly but forgot to serve us our rice that comes with the meal, we are halfway done eating before they brought it to our table. At the end of the day, it was a bit expensive, and I am not sure if the portion of the meal is worth the price value.

A delightful Japanese barbecue experience. The interactive grill tables allow you to cook your own delicious cuts of meat and vegetables to perfection. The extensive menu offers a variety of flavors and sauces, ensuring a memorable dining experience. The attentive staff and cozy atmosphere make it a great place to gather with friends or family. Marinated short ribs are very good to go with rice. A definite must-visit for barbecue lovers!

The food is always delicious, the meat always tender. I can’t get enough of that salad; always forget how good it is! The dinner for 3 is enough for 4 people if they’re not huge eaters, and is really not a bad price. We adore waiter Paul, and the other servers we’ve had have also been wonderful. The place is noisy and often too cold for me, but those tiny annoyances are easily overlooked.

Good here was delicious! We came in right at open (maybe about 40 minutes after they opened). It was very empty of course. Staff was friendly and polite. Service was a little slow in between transitions given the fact it was only my family and another group. The ran out of s’mores, but happily substitute for another dessert 🙂 will come again!

I ordered Goma Negi Shio ramen and Beyond bibimbap with meat sushi and all the items arrived in worst condition. There was many small black stuffs in the ramen which is from dirty frying pans that causes CANCER. But sesame seeds were missing. Bibimbap was also missed ingredients such as mushrooms and red bell peppers etc. (based on their menu)

The concept of the restaurant is really awesome where you can grill your protien and veggies and start eating . The service was good and they explained how to use the grill and also told us the required time to grill for different types of protien.

Came here with my family on a busy night and they sat us as fast as they could. They did not have the all you can eat when we came which was slightly disappointing but our waiter pointed out a holiday special that we were able to do instead. We really enjoyed the beef rice and the s’mores at the end was fun. The shrimp was underwhelming but would still come back again.

Delicious! I loved all the appetizers my table got. Meat was perfect and the dipping sauces went well with them. The spicy pork was a bit spicier than we thought, tasted a bit like a spicy Buffalo sauce, but was still good! The s’mores at the end was a wonderful end to the meal. Highly recommend.

Table top Japanese bbq restaurant with many options for meal sets complete with salad, miso soup, appetizers, several different meats (basil chicken, pork belly, beef and sometimes shrimp) to grill and dessert. Ala carte options are available too. Keeping with the theme of table top cooking, s’mores are available for dessert, but so are ice cream or sorbets. The meal sets give the best value of variety and food quantity. The best meat to grill is the A5 Waygu, it literally melts in your mouth. The pork belly and shrimp were pretty good too. Least favorite – the basil chicken is white meat chicken. It is flavorful but on the dry side, even if you follow the recommended grilling time. Recommend reservations especially on the weekends. We had reservations and still waited for 50 minutes for our table. It was a busy Saturday night but the staff was slow to clean the empty tables. Several tables were left uncleaned for over 15-20 minutes while at least 8 parties were waiting for tables. The cleaning staff did a very thorough job of cleaning the tables though. Serving staff was prompt and attentive. Worth a visit as the dining experience is unique and fun.
