    This shows that you cannot judge a book by its cover. I was a bit skeptical from the appearance at the entrance however from start to finish that was a positive experience! Great hospitable service and really solid Japanese bbq!

    The foods are overpriced for its quality and portion. The waiter was not all that welcoming and slow to service.
