    I ordered their beef sukiyaki bowl and it was so good it has the crispy rice and beef slices. And I try out their barbecue meats and it was so tasty it was on the grill. So I think you should try it too!

    Food was really good. But we waited at the hostess stand for 10 minutes before anyone came to seat us for our reservation. Once we were seated the waitress never asked if we had been there before or if we had any questions. Once the meat came out they just sat it down and left us to our own devices. During our dinner the waitress was asking all of her other tables if they needed anything except for ours.

    The meat for BBQ was cut into very small pieces. Very hard to cook on the grill, as they could fall into the stove. And the amount of smoke produced in the restaurant was unpleasantly choking

    We had a large birthday party. Everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves. Service was a little slow but they were so good about acknowledging it and apologizing.
