| - Been here a few times - mostly as a large group for birthday celebrations
Tip - they don't take reservations for a party less than 4. Wait times can be long (1.5 hr!), so better come in as a big group or go out of busy hours.
Also, no credit cards! Bring cash/debit!
Location/Service:
It's located literally right out of the highway exit, but it's hidden in a small plaza. Parking gets full quickly, so best to carpool.
Interior is modern with a few Japanese themed designs like movie posters and drawings. They play Japanese music as well to fit in the mood.
All staff I've experience have very courtesy service - they make sure plates are taken away, orders are all filled and even come to your table to advise how to cook your food. Don't be hesitate to ask for assistance or clarify what you don't get in the menu, they are more than happy to help!
Food:
The grill differs from other places, where it's a net is used instead of metal plate. I find that easier to handle and not as sticky.
Now, this is all you can eat - so please try everything at least once!
I really like their vegetable dishes - sweet potato, enoki mushrooms that are serve on a small plate and you just let it sit over the fire.
Kabli short ribs and beef brisket are also an excellent choice; grills fast and meat is tender. Servers ask you the portion you want, so eat accordingly to your tasting.
I also like their bimbimbap - and the portion is not to overwhelming. I usually even add some of the grilled meat/veggies into it to make it to my own tasting.
The cold noodles, however, I don't highly recommend it as the portion is very small and the taste is a little bland.
As for desserts, they've changed a little over the few times I went there.
Before it was all you can eat Melona (so good!), but now it's restricted and they've switched brands too. Nonetheless, a little sweet to finish the meal adds a satisfying taste to it.
They also have creme brulee which is worth to try.
Pricing is close to ~$40 and a little pricer on Friday/Weekend/Holidays.
I wouldn't mind coming in for a try and if you like it, come back often (probably during weeknights!)
