Edwin was quick to seat us on a Thursday night at 9pm. We had a party of 3. He immediately took our order considering the kitchen was closing in half an hour. We ordered short ribs, pork belly, spicy pork belly, octopus, a couple platters of steak, and shrimp. We ordered a small bottle of Soju as well. The total came out to about $53 a person. The restaurant is very nicely designed and lively. It was my second time here and I will definitely be coming back whenever I visit San Francisco Japantown. And thank you to Edward and the rest of the staff for outstanding service.

Food here is really good. They change the prices. They also have a premium menu which is 44.99. The premium menu also has a ribeye steak and also hot Ramen bar. The service here is always really good very fast and convenient. It's about like a five minute wait for your food and you also leave the restaurant very filled. The ambience to change a little bit it's starts to look like a Gen Korean BBQ. Other than that, they're also very friendly.

This was $39.99 per person with side dishes - This was so good! Love the meat quality, my favorite is their beef belly. I love eating the beef belly and their steamed egg in one bite. My favorite side dish of theirs is the seaweed, love how simple it is and not heavy in flavor. Service was great, everyone was attentive and super kind. They have $32.99 per person option but it comes with no side dishes They have a 25% of your total bill if you go in before 6pm on Monday through Thursdays!

I celebrated a birthday here with a group of friends and had a pretty good experience overall. If you come here on your birthday and bring at least three other friends with you, then you get to eat for free! We all went with the premium AYCE option and ate until we were stuffed. The one negative thing was that for a group of 7 people, we were squeezed into a small booth that had only one grill. This was a problem because one person in our group only eats chicken (no red meat), which takes a look time to cook thoroughly. So we all had to wait a while to switch out the meats and waited to eat. We also had to request some items (e.g. spicy rice cakes) four times until they came because the staff seemed pretty swamped. Overall, service was friendly though. We also brought a birthday cake and candles with us, and the staff even offered to bring out the cake after dinner and provided a cake serving utensil, paper plates, and forks for us free of charge! Note that reservations are only accepted for parties of 7+. My partner had to call in three times for our reservation because the staff got the date wrong the first time, and somehow they incorrectly canceled the reservation after the second call.
