    In the past 3 years we've probably made 10+ reservations. Zero of those trips had us seated on time. Zero seated 10 minutes late. It was about 25 minutes last night. It's good, but you don't respect the staff (poor hostess was so stressed and not her fault) & you don't respect your customers.

    We had the holiday special which included various starters and sides and various meats for bbq. Good value for money. We re from the UK and I don’t think there is one in the UK unfortunately or we will be returning.

    Lots of fun. We ate well. Very loud, difficult to converse, we listened to neighbours’ conversations instead. We ordered an extra bowl of rice for the course for three people, definitely a good move. Great fun with older kids.

    Took my team out to have holiday dinner. Jess our server was very nice and accommodating. It appears She was the only server at the second floor during this time but very sweet and patient. Thank you!

    The meat was absolutely amazing. A bit loud, expect a “fun” Korean/Japanese BBQ but not obnoxious
