We were placed in the private room with the charcoal grill, so sometimes service was a bit slower (given we were separate to everyone else), but otherwise no qualms. Food was great. We got the shabu shabu and quite a bit of wagyu for the charcoal grill. Would also recommend the squid for the grill.

Great barbecue, we like their variety and quality of beef and seafood is always fresh. 5% off if paid in cash. Hardest thing is to get a table on a weekend!

Food is good, authentic, reasonably priced. Service is also pretty good. Lot of Japanese dining there, always a good sign. Next time I'll try upstairs and have the BBQ.

A great experience of having a meal in there as extremely delicious M10 steak and Waygu. The waiters process the M10 steak wonderfully. However, the rice is too soft.

Food was awesome, the Wagyu 10+ is the best piece of meat I ever had. The staff were a bit clueless however. They brought someone else order to our table 3 times and give our order to the table next to us.

10+ marbled sirloin was the highlight for me. Ordered the green lip abalone but it never came out and I didn't realise until after I left. Overall it's definitely worth trying, just slightly overpriced for what it is. I did see a hot pot dish on another table that I will go back to try though.

The quantity of 10+ beef is good. But it is way too salty. The other food is just so so. Worst than the one in China town.

Great food as always. The service was also good and pleasant despite the busy period. They are kind to give us the private room given we have 3 kids, which made the overall experience more pleasant. In addition, the restaurant provide a prompt response regarding the booking through Quandoo.

Good quality of food and good staff service. We ordered the Lux set which is $99 per person. It is a bit pricey but acceptable. It would be better if we can pick another entree other than the wasabi octopus.

The meat was very nice although I did not enjoy the service. Because I am paying a great amount for slices of meat I expect exceptional service. I constantly had to ask for my dishes as it took so long for my drink to even come out. My meat was served for a good 10/15 minutes before my rice did, and I had to rewind them to bring it out to me. Also the chopsticks are recyclable ones? Which make it seem so cheap and flimsy. I will definitely not be coming back

Food was really good. Atmosphere was good because we seat at the charcoal grilled section, ala carte was just ok. The service was ok, not all waitres could attend to us, but they stand around just waiting for dirty dishes. Price are a bit high compared to other japanesse grilled restaurant. This was our 2nd visit, overall we are happy and would love to come back.

Wonderful place, we ordered 3 different kinds of meat for BBQ including the second highest grade Wagyu, the OX tongue and oyster blade. The marbling on all three cuts were spectacular. Our favourite dish was the oyster blade which was one of the cheaper cuts on the menu but the most delicious. We also ordered scallops for our appetizer. It was yummy but nothing special.

The place is crowded when we arrive. Friendly staff and the food is great. The serving of food is just a bit slow. There are 4 in the group, the 4 different mains was not serve at the same time. It was served on intervals of 8-10 mins between the 4 mains. The 4 of us ended up eating one after the other.

Once again another satisfying meal. The service was really great. We arrived a bit early and they didnt have a table initially but came out to find us because they had a smaller table at the tatami available. If you come you should request to sit in the traditional tatami tables for the full experience.
