Not happy with the service due to communication broke down. Went to this restaurant yesterday and the waiter don't seem to understand English. We were told that the price for the buffer BBQ included drinks but ended up we have to pay drink properly. They serve some side dishes and vegetables, when w...e asked for refill we were told that we have to add 480¥ each. So we just forget about it. The menu no English at all. Wonder if they can't speak English why don't they put English in the menu? I snapped some photos on the menu and sent to my friend who read Japanese, she told me that vegetables and side dish first plates are free, subsequent you need to pay 480¥ for all you can eat. If it's a buffet, why need to pay again? They have 6 types of meat, but we cannot communicate which type to order. We ate what he brought. Important note : The only waiter was very impatient. He showed unhappy face when we asked him to speak English. Would not recommend this restaurant. why would I spend money to receive this kind of service?

After reading the good reviews for this place, we decided to give it a try. It is not good as other restaurants we have tried in Tokyo. There is a lot more pork than beef, however because they used a hot stone to cook it, the meat never got seared, so it almost steamed the meat, no good grill tast...e. The side orders for kimchi or others are expensive. The biggest disappointment is that we had such good Korean BBQ before, so we won't be back.

Great food, made from fresh ingredients, fantastic ambience, friendly and efficient staff, and the price was very reasonable too, excellent choice for a family dinner when you are in Tokyo

I did not know what to expect prior to visiting the Korean Barbecue. We left very full and extremely impressed. We went with 10 other folks, and several of them said, "Pace yourself. This is more food than you can imagine." I should have listened. There were 7 courses, each better than the la...st. The atmosphere was fantastic: the grill is situated in the middle of each table and you cook at the table. The beef melted in my mouth it was so tender! I ate several foods out of my comfort zone and discovered they were quite tasty! For example, the lining of a cow's stomach, when fried to a crisp, is quite tasty. Who knew? My warning to others: Pace yourself. Seriously. This is more food than you can imagine. You have been warned. :-)
