   Dined as a party of 4 with 2 children. The restaurant needs better ventilation. I understand it’s cooking at your table and expected some haziness in the air, but this was a lot, almost as if the restaurant ventilation was not planned correctly for the number of tables with active grills. As for ambiance, I could have gone without the music videos playing on 4 tvs. You are charged based on the height of your child. My one child ate one bite of food (we try new places and sometimes they love it, and other times it’s a miss) and when we got the bill we were charged for 4 adults. Adults are $39.95 and under kids under 4ft tall is $19.95. They actually have a measuring stick they brought out when I said my one child had one bite of food so paying as an adult seemed high. They took off one adult charge which was acceptable since we expected to pay for 2 adults and 2 children so pricing worked out. I really appreciated the accommodation on the bill. The food quality was decent. I think we had one main server with a lot of other people delivering food and helping. Pleasant staff. I’ve never been to a restaurant that uses height to determine child rates. So that struck me as odd. I’m not sure I’ll return anytime soon but if I do, it will be without children.

   This is a unique & fun dining experience. The food was very good. We tried just about everything & there wasn’t anything we didn’t like. The marinated chicken was one of my favorites as was the pork dumplings.

   We really enjoyed our experience. The staff continuously checked in with us and brought us more of anything we wanted. We tried new things and enjoyed it all. The steamed egg was life changing.

   This was the best BBQ place we’ve been to in a long time and my dad had a wonderful time celebrating his bday here. Delicious food and fresh meat~. Thank you for the excellent food, attentive service, and thoughtfulness to make my dad’s bday extra special with cake. We all had a great time and our stomachs were so happy and full.

   Great, good price, great tasting food. Can’t complain at all. Only gripe was that some of the waiters / waitresses weren’t able to identify what we were eating when we asked.

   Pro: good service, decent quality food, average price point but there isn’t anything similar nearby Con: A bit dark, ventilation system needs improvement, could use more side dish options, maybe seafood main dishes

   Really enjoyed our birthday dinner! Food and service was outstanding and the experience is engaging. It is a bit noisy, but not overwhelming. Definitely worth a try!

    When we entered and were asked if we had a reservation, the server took us to our table but was overheard saying oh this is going to be fun by my adult children. His service was lacking. It seemed like was were inconveniencing him whenever we asked for more of this or that. I paid all you can eat for 6 adults so it wasn’t cheap and service should have been better. Unfortunately, I did not read his name tag.
