The cuts of meat are incredible, although small portions. I’d recommended starting with the cheaper cuts and working your way up to the Wagyu – after you’ve had the Japanese A5 Wagyu, the other cuts are ruined for you.

I ordered the Celebrity Wagyu Set and it come with 6 different type of beef + kimchi and salad. Meat was great, worth of the price, and the salad definitely can help with reduce the oily taste from wagyu. I would suggest to eat with rice too, yum! The waiting was ok, I made appointment at 7pm, but they didn’t reserve any seats for me I arrived at 6:55pm, have to stand there and wait for another 15-20 mins with other ppl that doesn’t have appointment, then what the point for making appointment????

Our second visit to the place but the experience was not as good as two years ago. We are not sure is it because of the pandemic but the quality of the meat is really not on par with its price. Only the Japanese A5 steak and American premium beef tongue are fresh and juicy. All other three American limited menu items are really more like average choice level meat. Quite disappointed while paying the premium price with average meat quality. We wouldn’t recommend until they start bring back real Japanese beef premium selection.

I only have 1 word to describe this place “phenomenal”. From the food to the service, everything was absolutely perfect, they have a very nice patio in the back with a heater so you don’t have to worry about the cold at night. The food was delicious and I’ve ordered a beef tower; it was amazing the beef was soft n melted into your mouth, the soup was good also but the dessert had too much sugar in it; I can only eat 2 spoons. Anyways I can’t wait to come back to this place to try more food

What an amazing meat they have! So yummy. Very tender, juicy and fatty. Our whole family including 3yo and 5yo enjoyed it so much. Original pancake was delicious as well. The only downfall is that they don’t have complimentary bachan (the side dishes). However it didn’t stop us from returning. The prices are higher also but the quality of meat deserves it. Avocado kimchi is good but a little salty. Definitely coming back again

If you are looking for some Japanese BBQ with some high quality meats, you much check out Tamaen. The meat stairway is a must, and it’s a good amount to share with 2-4 people. The onion pancake is also a must here. Price is not too bad, definitely a good value.

We all had a great time, and the food was delicious. Personally, I enjoyed it more than some of the Korean BBQ places I’ve been to.
