My family and I went to Ginza on a Friday night and were a little worried when we walked in around 630, and there weren't many guests. We ordered the Korean BBQ, and it had a good flavor. The staff were also very friendly and attentive. The only reason I am giving them 4 stars is because the miso soup was very watery, you didn't get very much for the dinner for two and it didn't seem very authentic.Kid-friendliness: The staff were very good with our two year old and there were plenty of high chairs and boosters available for children.

First time trying this place and it was very good. Really enjoyed everything about it. Food was delicious, liked the Korean bbq setup. Staff was very friendly and helped explain something I had questions about with no problem.

Very good food! Love the cook it yourself style restaurants! Service was great, though they forgot to add our sushi onto the order (they added it later on). Over all, very delicious and has great service! Would definitely recommend.

The chicken was over done. The wrong food was brought. Service was terrible. We had a party of 8 and they charged us 30% tip automatically. 30% is absolutely ridiculous. First and last time going there.

Beware!!This restaurant does not honor all guests or the hours of operation. The restaurant closes at 9:00pm. We arrived at approximately 7:30pm and were refused the bbq side because too many people were waiting and they shut it down at 8:15pm.The whole point of driving over thirty minutes was of course for the bbq experience. We were told we could be seated immediately at a table without a bbq but that’s not the experience we drove over thirty minutes to obtain.If we arrived prior to closing, we should have been able to be placed on the waitlist like everyone else. This policy should be on the website so patrons will know in advance that even if you arrive during business hours, you will still be refused the bbq side.Keep in mind, we weren’t allowed to make reservations and we even called earlier that day to be sure.No thank you! We will take our business elsewhere.

I really wanted to enjoy the food here, but it feels like the chefs didn't put their heart into any of my food. The miso soup was bland and missing something, the rice smelled like the water it was cooked in was dirty, and the bulgogi I had was barely passable. I only gave two stars because of how sweet our waitress was.

One of the only places to get authentic Korean in town. Korean dishes are average. Decent place for sushi.

First time there, the host was very rude. did not get a chance to sit or even tell her how many was in my party. Will not go back. I'll go to the one in Atlanta

Absolutely amazing experience so much fun! Perfect for a fun night for groups of two to four. The hot pot tables are only four tops so your larger parties do get a little separated, but it was still so much fun! The whole cooking experience was exciting. I will Def be going back for date nights and even going to take my mother to try it for the first time. Food was 10/10. Price is perfect for everything you get! Will be back! Get there early so you are guaranteed a table top
