    We made a 9:45 reservation and arrived at 9:50 ready for the full experience. The place was run down and pretty empty. As soon as we were seated the staff came over, dropped menus and asked us to place an order because the kitchen was closing at 10. We hadn’t ordered a drink or even had a chance to review the menus. We decided to leave after feeling so rushed and unwelcome.

    Amazing amazing food. The server was amazing, I have celiac disease and I can only eat gluten free food. The server was well aware about my autoimmune disease and told me what to avoid. And to be honest, I had tons and tons of options of food. Amazing experience.

    The Cheesecake Factory of Japanese BBQ. Everything was sticky -- from the windows outside to the menus and the tables. Very gross. They had a B rating, too, which doesn't surprise me. Very little value for money. $20 margaritas that taste like straight-up tequila. Veggie assortment was pitiful. Meats were tiny. Wouldn't come again.

    AYCE was great. Tons of options and all tasted great for the most part. The cucumber salad was underwhelming. The service could have been better. I understand they were busy but we did order some meats that we never got. But overall would come back.
