We stopped here after a long day of travel because it was close to our hotel, and honestly I think I'd have rather gone to bed hungry. That's not to say that the service was bad - it was quite decent - or that the food was bad - the Midori salad was excellent, and the Kinoko Bibimbap was solid, if not as good as similar dishes I've eaten elsewhere. The sizzling bowls seemed like a good idea, although 5 minutes into your meal you realized that the bowl warmed the air near you at least ten degrees and it got uncomfortably hot. What bothered me the most about this place was the yelling. Perhaps I would appreciate it more when I was more rested, and it was cute the first time someone exited or entered and all the staff started yelling in Japanese, but the 89th time they started yelling I no longer cared and wanted to be able to talk to the person sitting across from me. Although the blaring music didn't help much in this regard either. This place is LOUD, and not recommended if you want to hold anything resembling a conversation, though the food was pretty good. Buyer beware.
