I was in town for a dodger's game and stumbled across this restaurant via instagram. Restaurant looked beautiful & fancy online so I was worried my streetwear clothes (shorts & and band tee) was not acceptable but it was the complete opposite! Staff were super nice & friendly & didn't make me feel out of place in my streetwear. My waiter was very attentive & the recommendation on what to order from the chef were all so delicious. The self serve Japanese wagyu was to DIE for! Each piece being so buttery & tender. The salad bar was full of Alaskan king crab, lobster, shrimp all dipped in their garlic butter. Plus the wagyu fried rice tied it all together. There is so much more the restaurant offers on the salad bar, I wish I had a second stomach to try everything. I paid $99 for the self serve & i think it's an incredible price for all the top quality food & serve they provide. Definitely will visit this restaurant again when I'm in town.

Steak was the only thing worth going for but not for the price, paid for the $140 experience. Buffet of crab, lobster, and shrimp all over cooked. The dessert bar only offered one item and wasn't good. Thought it was a fancier establishment, but no people were walking around in shorts and t-shirts. Couldn't even get ice with my water. It took my asking 4 different times before I was brought a cup of ice. Not really how their social media pages portrait the restaurant. Wouldn't go back or recommend.

The hype didn't deliver. Lacked options. And missing items on their menu layout. Service was ok, not enough communication with foh , we were being served dishes without drinks ...our server Nate was great, knowledgeable and understanding. I'm not sure how it made it to the Michelin guide. Possibly Michelin has dropped their standards. Was really looking forward to a great meal . Having dropped $400+ . Perhaps I'll update this review again someday.

The restaurant sells itself as a high-end experience, but in the end is just Korean barbecue with an extra cost to it. How do you justify spending $500 dollars on two people. When I have to get up to get my own soy sauce at the buffet line that's what my waiter told me I paid for the experience. Food is top notch but the service and experience was below expectations. Manager J ho did his best to fix it but in the end it was not worth it.

An excellent place for special occasions and being able to have many different foods all at once without having to commit to a full size amount of anything. Our grill didn’t work for the first 45 minutes and the staff were very apologetic about it when moving us to another table. But at the end of the day, the Instagram Reel hype for the meat and seafood wasn’t the highlight but rather the quality of the From the Chef side dishes like the layered potato and miso cod that really would make us return.

The food quality and service were excellent! While variety is smaller compared to other buffets, I much prefer the quality over quantity. Minor inconvenience is how the buffet line is setup along a walkway which can be due to the layout of the restaurant. Overall, great experience and will definitely be going back.

Service from the managers were excellent, even though we had originally reserved the Yakiniku and they changed it to buffet style, they were very accommodating. The food is so good, we don't think this place can stay open that long, they have to be losing so much money giving away A5 steaks for this price!!!
