I’ve been coming here for years, and it remains my favorite Japanese restaurant. The beef tongue steak and sukiyaki are excellent, and the staff is warm and welcoming. Very authentic.

The establishment is notably small, featuring a single server who does not provide water and frequently interferes with diners by making contact with their tables. The atmosphere is rather uncomfortable and noisy. Furthermore, the pricing of the food is high, and I would advise against ordering the beef, as it did not appear to be fresh. The service was exceedingly slow, with an extensive wait time of two hours before all dishes were served. The server demonstrated minimal assistance in the preparation of our meal and even questioned the rationale behind my decision to tip only 10% rather than the anticipated ranges of 18%, 20%, or 25%. I felt obliged to leave a tip based on ethical considerations, despite the inadequate service. Tipping should be contingent upon the quality of service received and ought to be regarded as a personal choice. Rather than inquiring about the reasons for lower tips, it would be more advantageous to explore avenues for enhancing service quality.
Finally, I expected the food to be tastier based on recommendations from foodies, but I would rather go to Shabu Tatsu instead.

Overall the fish and food was great. We got a sashimi set, duck tartar (notice it’s seared), chirashi bowl, duck tongue, hot pot, sukiyaki, and a variety of desserts.
Tip – get the sesame pudding dessert and skip the hot pot and Sukiyaki. It’s pretty mid and extremely expensive for what it is.

One of the best Pad Thai Shrimp I had in the city, staff is super friendly and the jazz band is amazing!

I did like the food but definitely overpriced. Taking too long to bring hotpot and uncooked meat and veggies for Shabushabu after they placed portable stove on our table. Once the portable stove was set people automatic think the hotpot is gonna be served very soon. We ended up ordering another appetizer because of the wait time for shabushabu hotpot. However they brought out hotpot right after the extra appetizer. They need to think how our table would be. Servers were nice but weren’t very efficient.

Been here 4 times bringing friends and it’s just a fantastic and polite atmosphere with very skilled preparation of every plate. Fine and subtle preparation with a deep respect for the very best catch of the day. They excel in their craft so be ready to enjoy the siilled preparation.

It’s like an adult hideaway, and I like the atmosphere of the counter. To be honest, the price is not cheap, but if you would like to eat Japanese delicious food made with high-quality ingredients, I think this price is reasonable. The staff are also very kind and considerate.

for a 400$ meal, this was painfully average. nothing was bad, but definitely not worth the cost.
we got the hotpot set. the appetizers were more like amuse bouche sizes (bite sized) and not really that good. the tuna with mayo (right most) was especially fishy.
the beef shabu shabu was okay. the broth was not particularly flavorful. overall i preferred places like kimura or hakata tonton which are significantly cheaper.

We selected the ShabuShabu Beef set $120 for 2people and the Assorted Sashimi set as An Appetizer on Friday night and It’s good as expected.
I considered Jukai as hidden Gems, Japanese fine dinning with Good quality of ingredients and professional service.
The place is down to the basement as on that night 80% are Japanese customers which a good sign of Authenticity.
They offer different prefix sets menu and variety of sake selection. I think there is only Sapporo Beer on draft but this info need to be verified.
Good for single, Couple and group of friend , especially coworker to hang out and enjoy nice conversation after work.
