$48 adults $28 child - but if your child's height is below 110cm it's free!!!! I always wanted to try when it opened and now it is changed to a buffet from omakase ! The BBQ meat was actually very good I was surprised! I have been to all the bbq/hotpot stores in Chinatown and Korean buffet BBQ. Gyu Ichiro - The meat was very good quality for the price! For BBQ Toro beef and house cut & rib was the highlight we ordered again and again. For sushi - hamachi was so good, the rest was decent. They have Takoyaki which was good and next time we wanted to try seafood pancakes too! For a picky person to actually like the buffet meat is rare. The only BBQ buffet I haven't tried is wagyu beef in Ktown. The server was very patient & attentive and took a pic of us with lots of patience too! My daughter very much enjoyed the eel & sushi & house cut beef.

My partner and I came here for a celebratory meal and loved it. We made a reservation about a week or so in advance and were seated immediately. The table was spacious and tucked away, so the experience felt very intimate. We ended up ordering the sushi and yakiniku experience because the meat selection looked incredible, as did the nigiri. They first brought out the sides, which included an incredible cabbage salad with ginger dressing. Next came the nigiri, some of the highlights being the Chu Toro and the Botan Ebi. They were good quality and delicious, but had a little bit too much Wasabi for me. Finally, the yakiniku.. SO GOOD!!! All of the meat was cooked perfectly and super flavorful. Our favorite, of course, was the A5 wagyu. It was our first time trying it, and it absolutely blew us away, both in taste and texture. Would definitely recommend for someone looking to celebrate a special occasion.

Love this place! We came for a birthday and they brought us tiramisu to celebrate. It was two of us. We each ordered the sushi Omakase and then got a third Omakase of the steak and sushi and shared. It was all delicious and the perfect amount of food. The meat was some of the best I have ever had (though warning the pieces are small). Highly recommend! Can't wait to come back.

My friend and I came on Sunday evening. I had called ahead and made a reservation for a private booth but after entering the restaurant I realized that the reservation was not necessary because there was not too many people around. We were taken to our booth as soon as we walked in. Our first booth was right across from the bathroom so I asked to be reseated and they brought us to a different booth right away. My friend and I ordered the $88/per person omakase/bbq combo. The meal started with a nice large bowl of salad, edamame and miso soup. The salad was delicious and the miso soup had a wonderful flavor. Afterwards, they brought out a small bowl of monkfish liver in a nice light broth. It was an absolutely nice treat. The omakase was unfortunately only 4 pieces of fish but they were all fresh and delicious. Afterwards, one of the servers came by and helped us cook an assortment of meat and veggies. The meat was displayed beautifully and was also of great quality. Our server was in a pretty grouchy mood which was unfortunate. However, speed of service throughout the meal was very efficient. All in all, though the food quantity was pretty small, the quality was nice and it was a fun, one time experience.

This place was amazing! I love the traditional Japanese decor here! From the exterior to interior I felt like I was transported to japan . Although japan hasn't opened back up to individual tourism yet, this is the closest thing to it! The food was amazing and the decor was beautiful! I felt the traditional vibes from the wall art to the booth dividers! It was a great experience and eye candy! We ordered the $88 per person meal which includes the Japanese bbq with lobster and the 4 pieces of sushi each! I think this is a great value and combination! It's very rare that we get to have sushi and bbq at the same time! This is great for people that are undecided on what they want to eat like me! Lol everything was so fresh and tasty! I would definitely come back again! nyc_food1e

First omakase experience so take my review with a grain of salt. The pricing was extremely fair and the quality was good. I got the omakase and Japanese bbq set. The fish was fresh and was the perfect temperature. There was also a significant amount of meat ranging from beef short rib to pork jowl (The meat pictured is the portion for 3 people). It was all cooked perfectly and the host was very attentive to make sure that nothing was burnt. The marshmallow dessert was very unique. It had an extremely silky texture but was not too sweet and not overwhelming. It was actually pretty refreshing. I would certainly come back to this place for a quick dinner. Our host told us that their busy hours are 6-8PM and their busiest day is Saturday.

Was influenced by all the IG Reels and TikToks that featured this mouth-watering sushi + BBQ spot and had to check it out! Sushi and steak are my bf's top 2 foods so this has easily become one of our favorite spots. We came a couple of Saturdays ago, and were sat at the first private booth upon entering. Love the privacy and the isolation from other diners. I went with the Omakase ($88) since I wanted more sushi than meat, and my bf went with the Sushi & Yakiniku combo ($88) since he wanted more meat than sushi. Clearly we still wanted to try both, and this was the perfect medium for us. The yakiniku comes with a bunch of sides (salad, kimchi, pickled radish, etc.) and we were so pleasantly surprised when we were asked if we wanted refills. Free unlimited sides y'all! And they are all so refreshing and delicious. I was also surprised to find that I really liked the monkfish liver (ankimo). It was so much tastier than it sounds. The sushi was extremely fresh and fantastic. That last bite of the toro-uni (I think it was) was *chef's kiss*. Bf loved his grilled meats. I tried a few pieces and it took a lot of self-control to not take his entire dinner. A couple things that were a bit underwhelming were the Yuzu drink and the cheesecake dessert. I'm not a fan of dessert anyway, and only ate some because it came with the set. Definitely wouldn't go out of my way for that, but this can be overlooked. I'd return for the main experience for sure.
