The food was not tasty at all. The meats were not seasoned good or tender. Not worth the money.

This is a fun place for a date or to celebrate a birthday (that’s why we were there). You should probably count on at least 2 hours for dinner if you want to do the full experience - which you should because it’s fun! The quality of the food is very good. The service is fine, if a little distracted. This is not something for every day or if you’re grabbing a bite before a movie, but it makes for a fun evening with good food.

I spent $175 with an 18% fee. Too expensive for the experience I had.

Some of the dishes came out well. Quality of the meat was a bit disappointing at times. Service was really inconsistent. Had to ask multiple times for things like water refills or forks. Food initially came too fast and the table was full, then too slow. Manager was on his laptop the entire time we were there and staff walked around with their phones out

We love the experience, but it doesn't come cheap. We ordered a combo option for four, and added some vegetables and salad. Probably didn't need to add the salad, it was included, but our server didn't tell us. The quality of meat was good but not great. All-you-can-eat doesn't run on weekends, so you might get better value there. Our server wasn't super-attentive, drinks went empty at times. We plan to do this type of dining rarely.

Service was really slow. we asked for two water and waited for 15 mins and still not coming and checked again. the Server said he needs to put the water in the order system to get the water served - crazy and unbelievable. meat quality is poor. for Japanese BBQ i am expecting quality food but the meat we paid for is just bits and pieces. two spent $150+gratuity, terrible experience, not worth a penny. i can get much better meat quality and service from korean bbq with 150. i don't recommend this chain location

Went there for father's day dinner. All the food was great, the service was a little bit slow, but all in all we had a great time. The Hurami in the pot was the best!
