A5 Wagyu from Japan is amazing. Melt in your mouth. I ordered Japan A5 Wagyu Omakase, so the food is very good. I don't need to review that. Food is top quality. The service for this place is great. Very friendly. They cooked the A5 Wagyu Sukiyaki for us and we cooked the rest ourselves. It get busy here. If you want to come, I suggest come at opening, they are more flexible, if not reservation are required. Also, be warn that when you finish the meal, they do want (or kind of push) you to leave as soon as possible... 😅
But this is a must try for anyone who like Japanese BBQ.

We had a great experience having dinner here. The restaurant is modern and beautifully designed, with a bit of an industrial chic look. The food was tasty though on the slightly pricey side. The service was good and efficient. It's great for a date night or dinner with a few friends. I would come back.

Food and service have gone downhill over the past few years.
One night, we were the first table to go in, and we didn't have a reservation, so we were told to have 60 minutes to eat. That's fine. They then took orders from every other table first, and we waited 15 minutes to order.
The beef tongue didn't taste as amazing as it used to. Wagyu meat (I forgot which one) tasted average. Egg soup was not worth it at all. Garlic fried rice took 30 minutes to come out and was overly salty and dry. Food used to have umami; now, they just taste salty. We could've marinated and cooked better at home...
We went through the water they provided quickly. No staff filled the bottles/cups the whole time. Not worth the price at all.

This was me and my partner‘s first time going, and I have to tell you we will definitely be back later although my partner is vegan the waiter accommodated chose for us and brought back some delicious food he was able to enjoy. I let him recommend all of the items for us to choose from an E and I have to tell you there was no displacement with any of the choices that were made. I was very impressed with the staff, the food and the hospitality.

Really cool little place. Made a vegetarian ramen for me and my wife and son had a pork and chicken bowl respectively. Very nice and helpful server as it was our first time ordering ramen like this. We will definitely be back soon!
