Great place but they seriously need to update/fix the reservation list thingy on their website. You can't even place a reservation in advance. This has been a issue for awhile and it's 2024, please fix this as soon as possible. Again very great place but but the reservation thingy needs fixing.

Food was great! Meat was very tasty. I would recommend doing the 2-person courses, a good way to try a lot of food. We got the first one since is it the same quantity as the more expensive meat-lovers, with some chicken variety.

Solid 3.6 stars, with potential for 4+ stars if they do what I suggest. You have a Japanese name and serve Japanese yakiniku food so you must do as Japanese yakiniku restaraunt do, NOT as you like to do.Prices are often complained about in reviews here. To us they seemed reasonable for california. Complain to your state politicians, not to this business.OK, back to this restaurant: your staff do their job but not HAPPILY (it is OK to fake it) and not PROMPTLY. Nobody was nearby when our grill needed to be turned down: food was burning. We figured it out and turned the flame down ourselves. Nobody showed up to swap out the blackened (CANCER-causing) grill; we had to flag somebody down. We asked in Japanese first, to make her feel remorseful.Happy hour and draft beer pitcher was good. Pitcher itself was real, unlike in Japan.Rice quality was OK. Beef and pork quality was good. Vegetable quality was ok. See pics. There was insufficient garlic.We need actual garlic like in Japan, not your garlic butter. “Napa Kimchi” quality was not good. Please go to Korea and compare.

The spicy tuna volcano was my favorite, but over all it was great quality food and experience. Food was fast, fresh and the staff was friendly.

The food portion was small. They gave you very little meats. Not worth the money.
Great Japanese BBQ restaurant. Food is always fresh and consistent. Service is quick. Love the atmosphere too, everybody working is so upbeat and nice. Try to come during their happy hour, good deal and less crowded. Great value all around, always fun experience and our go-to place for family gathering.

Love having dinner here. It's great for groups and you the price is a great value. You get so much! If you get the "packaged" menus, "food for 2" is more than enough to feed 3 people. I wish though that they had a choice of a choice of s'mores or mochi ice cream. Very minor thing though! :) Service is relatively quick and very friendly and accommodating. I went on Christmas Eve with my elderly parents who one of whom has mobility issues. We sat close to the door to accommodate his issues but because we were close to the door, there was a very cold draft. They reseated us and even kept my dad's walker towards the front. When we were done, they brought it back for him.

I have gone here multiple times, the service is always phenomenal, I will continue going here. Parking isn't too bad to find. The food is really delish. The waiters and waitresses are always checking up. Orion great service, great guy definitely makes me want to go back every time

This location seems a bit run down. Place was dirty and felt sticky. We arrived when they opened on a Monday night. There were still many open tables.Hostess was awesome but our server was average. She wasn’t familiar with the Company food offerings. There were no rib fingers or pork jowl on the menu. No AYCE at this location, they do have Happy Hour.We observed another server that was carrying a hot sizzling bowl and backed into a mother holding a baby who was just leaving the restroom. The server not only did not apologize but looked disgruntled before going on her way. There are way better locations in the bay area. I’m not sure we will return at this one any time soon.
