    Overall experience was bad. From the start our grill wasn’t working properly. It wasn’t getting enough heat to properly cook our food. Thin slices of meat took over 10 minutes to cook and shrimp were even longer. Our broccoli never got warm. The waitress was kind and did attempt a few things to remedy the low heat of the grill. She mentioned they’d move us to another table if necessary, but never did, even after we explained that our food still wasn’t cooking. The waitress told us the restaurant was taking our shrimp off the bill since we couldn’t enjoy it, but honestly we didn’t enjoy much of anything. My husband ordered a separate ramen bowl and that came cooked so it was good. Over $150 for three people and we we left hungry.

    Good experience once we were seated. Great food and service. Unfortunately we had to wait around for 20-30 minutes before being seated despite having a reservation.

    Seems to be getting a little pricey for the small amounts of food. Service was below previous experiences. It took a very long time for some of our ordered food to arrive. Food was good. Still miss the onions to grill.
