It’s a little pricey for what it is, but we come here again and again because dinner here is so easy with the kids! It’s one of the only places with a healthy kids meal with carb, meat, veggie, beverage, and dessert that the kids are super excited to devour. The robot delivering food is the entertainment for the evening too. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and ordering is a breeze with the tablet. Staff has always been really polite and helpful.

Would definitely eat in if you can. There’s tons of more option. If you are fan of traditional Japanese fares ( multiple different dishes ) then you’ll love this place. We got two sets and there’s plenty of delicious dishes.

Went for a late lunch with a friend and there wasn’t any wait. We ordered two appetizers and I will definitely skip that next time. The main course dishes are so delicious and a good portion size.

Friendly service, fast food to service time. I-robot delivers most of the dishes and beverages. Appreciate the in person touch point. Tried its recommended waygu sukiyaki ($27.50); bit disappointed in the meat as feel more prime grade than waygu’s. Flavor is good for a fast food style dining. Complimentary hot tea which is nice these days.

Food is delicious in general. You can get shima hokke, which is a rare find elsewhere. Gozen can taste a variety of food.

The food is still good quality but they don’t give as many side dishes as before. Couple that with a change in their pricing policy (used to not have to tip), this is way too expensive for what it is.

A crowded restaurant with even a robot to help deliver the food from the kitchen! The tonkotsu ramen is especially delicious.

Our food didn’t seem as good as the first time we went. My fish was quite salty. The pork and shrimp combo we got was much better. Your food is delivered by a robot.

The server who is aged and wearing a mask is very rude. People with such bad attitude is not qualified as a server. Food potion is very small. Highly not recommend. This restaurant also set the default lowest tips to 18%, normally it is unpleasant but acceptable, until this server shows up.

We had dinner here the other day. The food is very good. The staff are very friendly and nice, too. My son was having a bad day. He’s very tired, so he was causing a fuss. Then the staff set up the robot to carry a cup of water to my son. He was amazed and got interest in the robot right away. That is just nice.
