    All went good, after eating Wagyu in Japan, I found outrageous to pay 60.00 for 6-7 small pieces for the Wagyu

    I’ve been to Korean BBQ before and left my stuff smelling like food for a week and surprisingly it didn’t happen!! The food was delicious and the portions were filling.

    The premium all you can eat was definitely worth it! We had 4 people and had more than enough food. The meat was amazing, and all the appetizers and drinks you can get make it worth the price. Never felt rushed by the service and they were very quick to respond to our needs. Amazing place

    There was no heat in the middle of winter, and they shouldve advertised that or given everyone a 25% discount or something. That was absolutely ridiculous, I thought I’d get hypothermia in there. Service and food amazing as always though.

    The staff was friendly when we arrived, but the lack of heat and poor food quality was a letdown. When it first opened, it did live up to the hype, but now it's just a rundown place that I'm not looking forward to eating at. Please fix the heat and the AC in that location. I see Customer still putting on the jacket while grilling the meat including myself
