Friends and I went here for a birthday celebration. We booked ahead of time but waited for 15 minutes or so to be seated. The reservation starts at the time of booking and not when seated.
The server was nice and attentive.
The restaurant was well ventilated so we didn't smell like grilled food by the end of our dinner.
We ordered the Samurai bbq course ($125 for 4 people). The quality of the meat, produce and seafood was fresh. The meat was very red and looked very juicy. The proportion was great for a group of 4 people with a generous appetite. They don't bring out all the dishes at once. For every dish the server brought out, he explained what it was and how long to cook it.
They replaced the grill often without asking which is rare.
We wanted to stay for a little bit for dessert but could not. They were busy and had the table booked after us. It was disappointing but understandable. I wished the time started at the time we were seated.
I would definitely pay the premium price for better food quality and service (other than waiting for a reserved table).
