    The flame on the stove was very weak, so we changed our seats. The service was mediocre and the staff were slow to respond. I even burned my hand on the hot stone pot. In the end, the food was just average. I won’t be coming back again.

    This was our first time at this location and it was cute. The service was great just like all of the other locations we’ve been too, food and drinks were good as usual. I had the vegetable rice for the first time and I really liked it. I just wish the grills were a little bit bigger.

    The ambiance was exceptional. The food quality justified the cost, and our server provided outstanding service. My family and I had a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

    It was a great first experience! The entire family enjoyed all the food and grilling it ourselves. The cucumber salad was excellent.

    It’s been a while since I’ve been to this place which we use to love then. We were so disappointed with poor quality of meat , run down atmosphere wirh cracked/torn chairs. There weren’t much noise and our servers weren’t attentive. We took very important business clients with us and we weren’t embarrassed. I guess the quality has gone down big time since it’s running in franchise. I wouldn’t go again.
