“ I loved the whole cooking everything at your table experience. It's fun and it's social. Perfect for a group setting. Food was really good. The restaurant itself is not that large so it is definitely a more intimate setting. I recommend making a reservation, going there ready to eat and you might as well just wear sweats because you will stuff yourself. ”

“ one word AMAZING. Great deal on the all you can eat and also their sushi is FANTASTIC. I’m Japanese so I know! I was VERY impressed with their sushi! Get the unagi nigiri and the bluefin tuna! Fresh ingredients every time and the staff is so nice and welcoming. They’ve had regular customers for 15 years for a reason. Great local joint. If you know, you know ”

“ Wow, what a great restaurant. Half of the guests there were old-timers who would buy drinks for the chef and the waitress and drink together. That created this wonderful neighborhood restaurant atmosphere. The food was also very good: fresh fish, flavorful rice, masterfully made and presented. It was also reasonably priced. I will definitely be back for Shabu-Shabu. ”

“ Perfect post workout for a high dose of protein! Came here hungry and the food came within 60 sec of sitting down. AYCE of 2 meats (beef + lamb) with a special sauce; veggie bowl and noodles to even it out. They were out of oysters but the uni shooters were bomb. Super quick and friendly service, plates of meat were replenished immediately after clearing them, never really had to go out of the way ask for anything. Granted, we were just one of 4 parties there and it's chill for a date or group of friends to catch up. The broth isn't as flavorful as other places and the selection does have less variety. Everything (meat, veggies, sauce) is brought to you, so once you sit down, just focus on eating. Overall a 4.5/5 experience with a neighborhood bias of living closeby; wouldn't travel far for it but if you're closeby, definitely worth a shot. ”

“ Ordered Chicken Katsu entree, and I enjoyed it. The portion size was great for one person, and I even had some leftovers. Entree comes with side salad , miso soup , and rice . My spouse got the beef & mushroom udon,, and the broth was good. The place is known for their hot pot, so maybe next visit I'll try it. They have a small parking lot where the layout is awkward, because you risk someone parking behind you and may be blocked in. I'm sure that the staff with ask the patrons to move the car if a car is trying to get out. I'd visit again to try the hot pot. ”

“ We had salmon teriyaki entree, crunch unagi roll, tiger roll, and union rolls. They all taste great. A lot of people order shabu shabu. There are 12 lots of parking next to the restaurant. ”
