The beef was top quality and the service was great as well. Super cozy nice spot. Overall great restaurant. There’s a reason they’ve been open for decades

Female owned and operated, service & food are excellent. The appetizer and dessert were the main home runs for me. I got a sweet tooth and a thing for small delicious dishes like the monk fish and king crab that are one bite dishes. As for the main entree it's as fresh as it gets, price is for a set meal so it's worth it. You'll definitely feel stuffed by the end even if it looks like not much. The scallops and shrimp are my favorite 🤤. Also, the creamy scallop on cucumber owner special was a great start to service. ☺️ My only feedback for the soft opening would be to reword the requirements for sharing a set meal.

Have known of this place for quite a while, but only recently stopped by. The experience I had here was really good! The menu itself is designed to be a set menu, with courses coming out as your table finishes. Each course came out quickly and the service in between was amazing. My tea/water was almost always topped off without me asking and just overall very attentive to our tables needs. So you must be wondering why the 4/5 * (I'd want to do 4.5 if I could).. Unfortunately it's because I found the soup (just water?) used for the shabu had almost no flavor. This became more apparent after we cooked everything in it, and the broth essentially still just tasted like water. This affected part of the course, when they create either a rice porridge or udon soup (udon soup ended up being better). Both came out with minimal flavor and the ponzu was the saving grace of this second to last part. Overall, I think this place is great from top to bottom (especially the apple pie) and I don't mind having a light flavored meal, but I just felt for the price point there could at least be some more to the broth. I don't know maybe I'm just uncouth with how it's supposed to be. I'd def still give this place a try if you haven't had.
