We got a Groupon to try out this restaurant and gave it a shot Friday night. The food was pretty good but the decor was pretty unimpressive. Our table was shakey and unstable, which made the cheap and open-flame hot pot on our table a little scary to work with. The place was also really hot and i was sweating! The restaurant had a few paintings on the wall but was lit with normal overhead lights and had a gross floor. Bathrooms had a bucket for a trash can and a gross shelf of supplies next to toilet.
The food on the other hand was really good. I got the sweet and sour broth to cook my meat and veggies in and did a three meat sampler with two types of Kobe beef. The beef was paper thin and cooked beautifully and quickly in the broth. Flavors were great! They didnt provide much instruction on how to cook the foods (ie suggested cooking times for each veggie). My boyfriend tried the miso broth with the same meat sampler and his was a lot less flavorful. Clearly the broth strongly plays into the whole flavor experience!
Overall, this is a place to go for good flavors but sub-par atmosphere.
