~ Premium Thick Tongue $30 ~ Always my fav cut to order!! It's fatty, tender, bouncy & juicy! ~ Diamond Cut Outside Skirt (Harami) $25 ~ Another of my must order cut when eating yakiniku! The meat is lean yet tender, and strong in beef flavour ~ Chuck Rib (Karubi) $20 ~ As expected, Kalbi is fatty, tender, delicious! ~ Scallion Over Rice w/ Egg Yolk $6 ~ The only rice I'd order in a yakiniku place, the meal will not be complete without it! Will I be back? Yes! Way more expensive then yakiniku in HK or Japan, but it felt really authentic and the meat cuts selection are great - at least for me, becoz they got all my fav ones, including the negitama rice!
They have the best beef tongue in the city traditional Japanese place! The service is also very
Went back for my friend's bday and whole situation was better then before! The services were so much better, serving speed, understanding was excellent. Every meat was so fresh and side of rice (which often I care about was great!) unfortunately, their heater was down.. even we are having grill on the table the entire restaurant was cold in December. But other than that, they are all friendly and had an amazing night with friends. You should make a reservation before you come.
Good quality. Reasonable price. Good service. We recommend this yakiniku restaurant.
The food was so good! The quality of meat was amazing and the sides were perfect complements!
Food was good. There were preset courses as well as the option to order a la carte. As some of the members of my group are picky, we just ordered a la carte and honestly it was probably a better value as we spent less than we would've spent on the preset courses and got everything we wanted and was full. For the 4 of us, our bill came out to $250 which also included at least two drinks each. The only comment I have is to check your bill in detail. We had ordered our second round of drinks and water came instead so I'm assuming they heard us wrong. Additionally, for some reason we ordered two rounds of our drink but it was put in as two different drinks in each round (the first round was the wrong drink and more expensive than it should've been but I noticed after we paid).
