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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
