| - Hot pot: the broths were very good. Sukiyaki and Yobo spicy broth. Sukiyaki is not overly sweet, which I liked. Wife thought her Yobo broth was slightly sour.
The servers are very kind, but the service is still a bit lacking. You have to ask for utensils, chili oil or spices. Also, the choice of bowls/plates makes the food less convenient to eat.
Advice to owner, maybe dim the lights a little bit. Decor looms expensive, but would create atmosphere if it were slightly darker.
Big frustration: $23 For 8 oz of salmon, but they gave a ridiculously tiny portion. (8slices of sashimi) When i asked, they told me it was a full order. I politely disagreed and my server brought the plate back to the kitchen. 10 mins later, management finally decided that more salmon was the right answer. They brought me a full order, plus the original small plate.
The wife's lamb was tasty but extremely fatty. Protein quality seems lower cost/quality to me.
Warning: the dipping egg is NOT pasteurized, as it is in other shabu or hotpot joints. I chose to cook mine in the broth.
Still, the meal was tasty and the nice servers make up for a lot.
