    This is my new favorite restaurant in Philly. The menu has hundreds of options as well as a seasonal selection. The food was delicious. As we ate we noticed everyone in the restaurant doing happy dances as they ate their food. Such a great time!!! Will definitely be a frequent flyer here. If you are considering this restaurant see this review as your sign to GO!!!!!!!!

    Hello BryonR, Thank you for visiting us and I'm apologize that your last visit was disappointed due to limited supplies of A5 Wagyu. Please be aware our Wagyu is Japan imported, we're currently working on it, and it should be available again on 6/17. Looking forward to see you soon!

    Excellent place for laid-back date night or family dinner. Staff are very friendly, accommodating, and attentive. The food is excellent! Price is very reasonable, and portion sizes guarantee you'll be satisfied. Nice environment, but definitely louder due to cozy seating arrangements. Sure to be one of our favorite regular spots for dinner in the future!

    our server, Jeanette, was a sweetheart. checked in on us just enough, explained everything thoroughly, changed our grill regularly, and was very pleasant. food was delicious, but the sauce bottles on the table could have used a wipe down since they were sticky. atmosphere is very lively! so if you’re easily overstimulated and/or a highly sensitive person, it might be a lot. a heads up to first timers: the staff shout Japanese phrases, it’s part of the experience. please do not be the jerk who goes and gets upset that it’s “loud” and take it out on staff.

    Food was tasty, cuts of meat were good, some portions felt small but I left feeling full so I cant complain too much. It's almost as good as Korean BBQ. The service was better than I was expecting, our waiter was a professional and always made sure we had everything we wanted!

    Meat doesn’t taste fresh. Other food are very salty. Except the front desk, all other service are bad. We see the waiters dumped rice from multiple bowls (taken to the customers) back to the rice pot.

    Good food but we felt very rushed from the moment we sat down. Server pressed us to order food several times while we were still looking at menu. While one of us was still eating an entree, server starts asking about dessert. Then while we were eating dessert, she brought the check before anyone asked.

    We had the value bbq and it was very good! Some of the beef was very fatty but I think it’s supposed to be. The soup salad and edamame were a nice addition. Lots of birthdays were being celebrated and the vibe was very energetic.
