Excellent customer service from the host to the waiter! They offered indoor and outdoor seating in a patio with a pond view. Reservations are highly recommended. The food was okay. I think it was lacking flavor that I typically experience with Japanese BBQ. The best flavor was the outside steak! I also didn’t like being served cold edamame. Overall it was a great experience. The prices are reasonable. I just would love for the food to have more flavor to have a memorable experience.

First time trying this newer place. My husband and I went for date night and got the premium course because we wanted to try a little bit of everything.

Really great place. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. The meat and appetizers were great. Sushi was just okay, room for improvement there. But I highly recommend!

The atmosphere was fantastic. You can tell someone put their personal touch on the decor, and wanted to highlight culture and art that would be recognizable, which was a really nice surprise.

This place is amazing! We lived in Japan for 6 years and frequented yakiniku’s on a weekly basis! This place brought back so many great memories of our dinners with friends and families overseas. Kudos to the owner and chefs for the authentic Japanese feel and food! This place is spot on and we will be back everytime we are in town!

Had an absolute blast here! The food was amazing and it was so much fun to cook it on your personal grill. We got the Yamada Premium Course and a Bibimbap and it was enough to feed four people. In total it took about two hours to dine here.
