Prime kalbi short rib was our favorite, although yaki shabu was a close second. The shoyu chicken thighs were also delicious. I would definitely order the garlic chicken noodles again! The beef tongue is also not as tender as I remember it being in the past. The herb and garlic butter for the broccoli was a solid flavor enhancer. The gyu-sushi was kind of a disappointment - it was like a roast beef slice on rice with some seasoning. Unfortunately, the place didn't look well cleaned and maintained. There were some spots on the booth we were shown to. Service was standard.

We intended on getting the à la carte menu at first but realized that based on how many big eaters we had, it was more bang for our buck with the all you can eat menu. We chose the lowest tier of all you can eat and there were some people who preferred seafood; even if you upgraded to the highest tier the selection in our opinion, didn't get drastically better that it was "worth it". We had a party of six and was seated at a long table with a divider. When we got to our seat, the staff had placed the divider at exactly the table edges connecting the two stove but it was so squishy and uncomfortable for 6 people that we had to move the divider over a little. There's a time limit for all you can eat however with one stove and us not knowing that the vegetables came raw and in full foiled packages, it took a long time to grill anything. Our waitress came over many many times to remind us about the time limit and even then... we were well over our time limit even though we only put in two rounds of food. One stove shared between six people was awful. It's not like our stove could cook any faster even if the waitress rushed us. We were even ending the meal with s'mores and the waitress couldn't wait any longer and brought over the bill. We had to put down our s'mores stick to pay the bill so she could leave us alone to finish the meal... the restaurant was not busy, there were plenty of empty tables and there was no one waiting in the lobby. Did not appreciate the service here. Overall, food was greasy and not memorable (as I just tried a different grilled meat spot a few days prior). The portions were weird. Most of the dishes were severely under portioned so we made sure to up our portions for round two. Our time was up before we could even put in our final round three order. The staff also didn't respect some of the items. We put in ice cream on the first order as people wanted to use it as a grease palate cleanser and it was only when we followed up with the waitress did they say "oh we thought it should be served at the end of the meal instead since it's a dessert". Perhaps following the orders of what customers mark off would help with better customer service....

The menu contains a variety of rice combo dishes that you can select (pork, chicken, beef, fois gras, curry) and a tempura noodle set as well. Occasionally, they also have specials as well. My boyfriend and I ordered the beef set and the tempura noodle set with pork. I love how there are a variety of side dishes that come with the set. This is great for those who like variety and want to have a complete meal with all the food groups. My favourite is definitely the pickled daikon/carrot and the cabbage salad! The food is not too salty and the broth was perfectly seasoned for my palate. My boyfriend also ordered an espresso romano which I had never tried before. The foam on top was surprisingly refreshing with a tart aftertaste of lime. The prices were also very fair with most sets averaging around $19-20 before tax. You order at the counter and pay after you're finished. This is a great place for a quick bite especially if you're in the Ironwood area of Richmond.

When I first walked in, we see the setup is very traditional Japanese style with small dividers and booths. The waitress took me to our booth, and left the tablet for me to use to order food. I like how they provide tablet and also have the option to order by scanning the QR code. We ordered several dishes to share. The aburi sushi set was one of the highlights. It came with 7 pieces of different kind of Aburi sushi. We like how they torched not only the tipping, but also the rice. It added so much flavor to it. The Taco wasabi was also very refreshing. My first bite had a kick to it, then I got used to the wasabi. We also got to try some of the bbq dishes, such as the Gyutan (beef Tongue) and the Ton Toro (pork belly). The Sukiyaki beef nabe was delicious, however, it was very salty, and ot was over killed by salt. The Foie gras fried rice was suppose to be one of the most anticipated dish, however, it was a little underwhelming. We could find a lot of foie Gras, which was a bit disappointing. The service was decent, They even changed our plates during our meals. The food came out very quick after we ordered. However, for some reason, they didn't like to communicate with English. Every time when I spoke English, the waitress spoke Chinese back to me. See I'm not sure why. Overall, it was a pretty nice place for small group gatherings. It's a bit pricey, but the quality was there.

Ordered asap and still no food we had to wait so long just to be fed. 9pm still no food. Expecting to eat at 7:30 and still waiting for food at 9pm is not a good experience. Don't come here hungry and for a quick meal it will take ages! The servers however were very attentive when filling tea and changing plates but I wish the food came faster. * Oyster motoyaki ($5/each) ~ super delicious, flavouring was there and super juicy and yummy. It was small though I wish it was bigger oysters. 10/10. * Special course for 2 ($118) ~ this came with salad, lobster miso soup, got 2 choices of seafood, salmon steak, 2 meat, noodles, veggies and dessert. * Lobster tail, scallop, salmon steak ~ this was good flavour, nicely seasoned perfectly cooked. The salmon steak could've had more seasoning but the lobster tail and scallops were outstanding. 8/10. * Lobster miso soup ~ good, super flavourful and nice pieces of baby lobster inside the soup. Nice amount of tofu in there too. 8/10. * Angus sliced rib eye, angus rib eye steak ~ nicely seasoned and nicely cooked. The rib eye was rolled on garlic and green onion and it was nicely done. 8/10. * Noodles / assorted veggies ~ these were delicious perfectly seasoned and yummy. Highly recommend the noodles! 9/10 * Dessert ~ vanilla icecream * Overall not worth the wait. Despite the food being decent the wait is just worth it at all.

First time visit and loved it!…read more We were seated promptly even though we were told there was a 20 min wait in the early afternoon on Sunday. We found that after putting our name on the kiosk wait list that if we hung around instead of leaving we were seated quicker! The vibe is contemporary but comfortable. This modern restaurant has a touch screen on each table. It would have been convenient to order this way but I had inquiries about allergy ingredients. Our two bowls came out pretty quick. My Mentaiko Cream udon was superb! The Sanuki noodles were fresh and had the right amount of chew. The sauce was perfectly balanced. Light and creamy sauce balanced with the right amount of seasonings. No broth just sauce, pollack roe, sea weed and green onions. Simple? Yes but I thought it was just delicious! I'd definitely order it again!

We got a total of 3 boxes. Beef teriyaki, chicken teriyaki, and salmon sashimi donburi. All three of them were great. They had a variety of sides some differing from box to box. This made it harder to choose what we wanted, but ordering all 3 allowed us to try a little from each box. There wasn't an item that was not good. Loved the variety, freshness, and flavours. The most difficult part of coming to this restaurant is parking. However, that won't discourage us from coming again.
