    If you have ate at one of these in Japan do not have high expectations it’s close but not that close. Meat was good but only two items can be ordered at a time and very strict rules so pay attention it’s understandable. Other than that it was a great experience

    My husband and I booked a reservation and were seated quickly and beers arrived moments after we ordered them. We did the all you can eat for $56 and I felt there was a good selection to choose from for that price (for $56 you can choose from 45 items). Out favorite was probably the pork belly or ribeye, but all the selections were great. We added on a few dipping butters, which elevated the meal even more. The service was fantastic and the overall experience was great. We plan to eat here every time we visit Waikiki. Highly recommend!

    12時の予約で来店しました。とても空いていて良かったです。注文も早く出て来て6品頼みましたがどれも美味しかったです。量も多すぎず少なすぎずのちょうどいい量でした。店員さんの対応も良かったです。日本語メニューがなかったのが残念でした。今度は夜行ってみたいと思います。

    Restaurant smelled like a bathroom. Meat was OK and the rice was very low quality. Waiters were nice, though.
