    We went there for a birthday and I was throughly disappointed. There was practically no service at all. We had to keep calling servers down to assist us if we needed anything several times throughout the dinner. Even when there was no one in the restaurant. For the price tag, it is not worth the terrible service.

    It was too noisy and even hard to hear people over the table. First waiter did very poor job, and for some reason was then replaced with another who knew what he was doing. Food, however, was good as always.

    We were excited to visit Japanese BBQ, the food was delicious, the service is awesome, our kids liked to cook their food by themselves.

    We had a reservation but they couldn't seat us until 25 minutes after our reservation time. The place felt very run down and did not feel clean. You could see thick layers of dust on the exhausts above the tables and the floors were filthy. If you are looking for a place to get full, this place is for you. If you are looking for high-quality premium meats, this isn't the place for you.

    Ordered the value set and it was delicious. Got a variety of beef cuts, chicken and assorted vegetables. Their melon drink is amazing! The staffs were all super nice especially Victor who is super good at his job, notices the smallest things and he took really good care of our table. Definitely will be visiting again!
