The staff were extremely helpful and friendly — very warm, always checking in on us, and happy to explain things or give recommendations. It really made the whole experience feel relaxed and welcoming.
The place itself is very clean, with a modern and kind of hip vibe, but still feels cozy and comfortable. Overall, we really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere here — definitely a spot I’d be happy to come back to.
This Japanese hotpot place is really, really good. I loved it. The seating layout makes it better for a date or going solo rather than for big groups, which actually adds to the experience.
The broth gets amazing as it cooks. The pork-based broth (tonkotsu) is very flavorful but a bit salty and intense, so I’d recommend miso or any of the other options instead. The meats were delicious, and the portions were very filling. Ending the meal by turning everything into ramen with the noodles is chef’s kiss—so good.
The place itself is beautiful, with very cool vibes, and it didn’t feel expensive at all. I went with the cheapest option and left super satisfied. It’s a great alternative to Chinese hotpot and a fun, different experience overall.
Food-wise everything tasted really fresh. The veggie spread was crisp and plentiful, and the thin-sliced meats were great quality—quick to cook, super tender, and really satisfying. The sauces were also a big win; you can mix and match and it’s hard to go wrong.
Trendy vibe but still comfortable—clean, modern, a little upbeat, and perfect for a date night or a group hang. Service matched the vibe too: friendly, attentive, and helpful with explaining how it works without being overbearing. We left full, happy, and already talking about coming back.
