Came in on a slow Wednesday around 5. Our server Erica was amazing! She was very sweet and offered good menu recommendations. This was our first time using the grill, and she was more than happy to show us how to use it. Food tasted phenomenal, was fun to grill ourselves, and great appetizers. I would recommend trying the Happy Hour Grill preset menu order for first timers. A little bit of everything to figure out what you like. Great experience!
Great place for dinner. The server was very attentive and helped with the gluten allergy. She was very aware of the menu and was able to help us order food that was safe to eat with thr allergy. We were there after hours due to the meat we ordered was still cooking and they never made us feel rushed. We appreciated that since it was our 1st time there.
We had reservations on a friday night, when we arrived we had to wait about....2 minutes for the table to be cleaned. So no complaints there! My wife ordered two sushi rolls and thought they were really good. The Texas roll was very rich, so she could only eat a little of that one. I ordered the Koen Kirin, it came with soup, salad, vegetables, gyoza, rice and different meats. This is one of the meals that you cook your own food. Really neat concept but I got flustered trying to watch the food cooking, eat the food I had cooked, keep my raw meat utensils separate from cooked meat utensils. But, everything had good flavor. Our waiter was super friendly and helpful, he definitely did a good job and helped answer any questions we had. I will definitely come back, but I'll probably order food that they cook so I can just sit back and relax.
Such AMAZING food it was SOOO good!! The service was really good and the food was excellent!! We had meats that we grilled, pork belly, sirloin, kalbi and toro. Not only was the meat delicious but it's so fun to grill them yourself! We also ordered ramen, which was very good as well. Then the best part was the sushi!! My husband ordered The flaming tuna roll and the angry wife roll, he said both of them were really good but he preferred the flaming tuna roll. I don't like seafood or anything to do with the sea including seaweed, so I was thrilled to find out they had soy paper as well as non seafood sushi rolls! I got a tempura sweet potato roll with avocado and cream cheese with a sliced tomato on top 👌 it was so freaking good that i ordered another one to go!! The other roll is got had asparagus and avocado. That one was also delicious! Highly recommend going here, incredibly nice people and amazing food!!
The food was good 👍🏻, really yummy! the beef and sauces they use also yum. We each had different single bbq portions. The portion wasnt alot as i was expecting but we were able to get leftover for home. Total for two was around $80, pretty pricey id say
