If you're on the fence of whether to try Yakiniku or not, you will not regret taking the plunge. This restuarant has amazingly helpful staff that did not waiver at my crazy guests demanding requests and did not make us feel unwelcome when we clearly stayed past their ordinary closing time. The food was amazing and my gosh Matcha Flavoured Tiramisu?!? Outterworldly good!

Absolutely stunning experience with the Omakase menu. The chef was very knowledgeable and the food was great. I do not know much about the types of the fish, but the tuna was absolutely amazing with lots of layers of flavor and beautifully cut. The bar is behind normal tables, so when the other customers started chatting it could be a bit noisy and for that reason we could not hear the chef clearly, but it did not hinder the overall experience. Will come back again to try out the a la carte menu for sure. Highly recommended!
