    We are here quite often it feels hit/miss in terms of quality. Last night was a miss. I found the beef and pork to be fattier than usual, and the chicken had a rubbery texture IMHO. Lauren, our server, is always amazing, and last night was no different. She's patient, efficient, knowledgeable and is super kind. The quantity is good for the dollars spent,t but the quality was lacking. I'm sure we'll be back, though. ;-)

    Service was great as always even though we had to wait a few times for some items but the only complaint I have is that my fried rice had some egg shells in it. There were also a few items we ordered that never showed up but it won’t stop us from coming again since we love it there so much.

    お料理はお値段も手頃で味も良く楽しめました。ただトイレが男性女性1カ所ずつしかないので、混んでいるときはちょっと大変だと思いました。また店内の老朽化が目立ちました。提供する料理の特性上、テーブルやシートなどの油のベタベタ感した感じは気になります。しかし、従業員も来店する人々も若い年代が多く全体的に活気に溢れていました。

    We booked for Christmas Dinner. The staff was very attentive and helpful. They explained how the menu worked and we had fun grilling our own food. We got the pre-set holiday menu and it was great. We even had leftovers to take home.
