Really great Japanese BBQ. You get a healthy and high quality meal here. Great value considering how expensive eating out is getting to be. I cannot believe I have never been here before. Do not judge this place by location, we have been to some Michelin rated restaurants and have had some of the most exquisite meals, but nothing compares to this. Everything we ate, just melted in your mouth.

Shinju was exceptionally talented at making us feel welcome at her establishment and seemingly commanded the restaurant with minimal support. The restaurant is delicious and I especially suggest trying the bibimbap. We will be back!

What a gem! Will absolutely be coming back and sending friends.Shinju is a fantastic server/hostess. She is attentive, kind, knowledgeable and truly a great server.

Outstanding professional staff. Both staff servers were courteous, responsive, and really worked to satisfy all customer needs. Food preparation, display, and quality were exceptional. Open fire cooking is enjoyable and we left with full stomachs and are definitely looking forward to a return. BEST PART, it was our Anniversary dinner what a way to make for a pleasant memory! Thank you to the entire staff.

As a belated celebration of birthday and Father’s Day, our son treated us to a luxurious Japanese BBQ feast here. The ambience was welcoming. A glass of chilled cold draft Asahi was a nice way to begin our meal. The salads were beautifully-plated and appetizingly refreshing. The grill-you-own entrees started with an aged Tomahawk set of high quality flavorful, tender beef. The finely-marbled Celebrity Japanese wagyu set followed. This tasting order gradually ascending to A5 dry aged beef accentuated their superior umami quality. Two sets, totaling 14 delicious morsels per person, was a lot of premium beef for four of us! The assorted pickled vegetables and kimchi complemented the protein well, and the rice w shiso leaf tasted marvelous. Service was very attentive. An excellent dinner.
