    Staff keep lowering the flame with no regard to how grilled we like our items or even asking.

    This is my second time coming here. I came here with a friend for lunch cuz I wanted to treat him out for lunch for his early birthday. We ordered the set lunch for 2 people and it was perfect! We were able to finish everything. All the protein and veggies were good and dessert was good too! We had a nice lunch and the place where we sat was quiet which was nice. I'd highly recommend this place to those who want to eat Japanese BBQ.
