So visiting with my mom and dad, they like this place so we came here for dinner and we were sat immediately. Servers were great, I say that because our first one went on break and then the second one had a break so we had Scott who was awesome. I didn’t remember the names of the other ones sorry. We ordered the Yakiniku Party which is for 4 people(See Photo). The meat and sides just kept coming but we were all hungry and it ended up being just right. Service was great. Food and Portions were good . Ambiance was very chill with music playing but not loud . All in all Me and My son and parents had a good time and food was good .

Enjoy !!!!

Terrible service and a very disappointing experience overall.

We spent nearly two hours here and received minimal food and attention the entire time. In that span, we only got three rounds of meat and two water refills, which is unacceptable for an AYCE-style BBQ experience.

The rice we were served was undercooked. When we informed the staff, they didn’t take the rice back until we specifically asked them to. Even after that, it took about 15 minutes for replacement rice to arrive.

Our waiter told us he would check on us every 5–10 minutes, but in reality, we saw him around three times total during the entire two-hour visit. We also only received three grill changes in that time, despite cooking continuously.

The lack of urgency, follow-up, and basic service made the experience frustrating.

Unfortunately, this visit completely missed the mark, and we won’t be returning.

PROPS TO FOH STAFF!

Busy Friday before Valentine’s Day’s and the place was so packed that front of the house staff were forced to help in the kitchen. Special acknowledgment to Joanna and the servers for being so attentive even though the staff was short. A+

We came on a Sunday and there was no wait. We chose the basic all you can eat which comes with a ton of options. 90 minutes limit, at beginning we didn’t order too much because we were scared if we can’t finish. Big mistake, apparently the meat quality was very high but very small portion. It was also takes time for the waitress to come back to order more. So we basically wasted a lot of time just staring at the empty grill. Food was great though, nice dessert and the marshmallows. Parking was also easy because it is by a parking garage. I would recommend ordering as much as you can and also early before you ran out of food.

Our server was named Alyssa. She was so good and catered to our every need. When you go there ask for her and sit at her area but everybody else was helpful too. Great management better than the last time we went.

The overall one star is mainly for service at this restaurant. I love their food but with a reservation even, we waited 15 mins to be seated. It took about 30 mins for the food to start coming. Yes, start coming meaning they brought it out in very big gaps. We got the shushito pepper when we were done with dinner, and trust me it took a long time till we were done with dinner because they brought out the beef but not the rice or noodles. So we sat there till the rest came out. Overall it was a horrible experience because the service was horrible. I have been there a couple of times and i always get frustrated over the service but this time was really bad. Thats why i had to leave a review.

Fun spot, nice staff. It is nice to cook your food to how you want it but not cooking is kind of why you eat out!

I called in just to make a reservation and check my gift card balance. The manager there, named Lynn, who was extremely rude, dismissive, and incompetent straight off the bat refused to assist. I was asking another question when she kept on cutting and interrupting me so I told her to wait and listen to me first, in which she abrasively just hung up on me.

This kind of harassment and next level professionalism will only kick all potential customers away and I don’t get why they are paying someone who does nothing but kicking their customers away.

Wait time was 20min and order time was 10min. Friendly staff and all the vegetables were delicious. The meat was not bad. Ordered $25.00 per person menu. This event will finish on 02/07.
