    Came here for my son’s 10th birthday ! And it was a total fail! Had a party of 8. Server told us portions would be split in half so each side of our party got to try and grill all the meats . However they missed half our meats and when we asked why they didn’t bring jt … they said they didn’t know what happened and they just said sorry . We had ordered à la carte for party of 6 .. course meal. They also brought us out broccoli and cheese and when I was about to put it on the grill .. I turned around to get it and the server had taken it back. Mind you we had opened it and touched it already. When I asked server why did he take it back… he said it was given to us wrong and it was for another table . I didn’t think that was right at all.. my husband did tell him he had touched it but they had given it to the other table like that . Server didn’t acknowledge the mistake … asked for manager and he just ignored it . I still paid for the bill which was over $400 but come on! You guys forgot half the meats for half the table ! And we never got them at all! Smh and one more thing ! My rice ! My rice was so hard and burnt ! It wasn’t even a busy night . Very disappointed ! And thanks for giving us a bad dinner for my son’s bday!

    This is exactly what we wanted. We forgot to do a couple of items and they did not recommend them to add on so we forgot..... also the server was more concerned about other tables than us. Luckily we had been there before so we knew what to expect and do otherwise we would have been lost.

    We got the lunch special of 2 BBQ meats each- it was a great deal considering all the food you get with that meal: miso soup, salad, rice bowl, and your marinated meats. The waitress was super helpful and told us how to sign up for the loyalty program. Just for signing up we had enough points to get s'mores for dessert.

    I was expecting more for the price. At the end the price is medium high. We order the combo for 3 even if we were 4 and drink and ended up more than 220 USD. Beef portion is smaller than pictured, only few pieces and beef quality is not prime for sure. Only good part was the soup. Service was poor and not attentive.
