Went for lunch with a friend today. We didn't have to wait for a table but the restaurant was packed. It wasn't too noisy except for when the tables on both sides of us talked to each other in really loud voices. The service was excellent and the food was very good. You can eat as much as you want. 😋

Recently saw this place on social media, and I was interested in checking it out. I'm always on the hunt for new hot pot restaurants, and this perfectly fit the bill. I usually tend to lean towards all you can eat restaurants.

Coming from San Francisco, we decided to check the wait list before we left. Since the drive is about 45 minutes, getting on the waitlist through Yelp was very easy. By the time we arrived and found parking we only had to wait about 5 minutes.

When we were seated, the restaurant wasn't completely full so maybe we just came on a day they weren't too busy. Ordering is pretty simple. Main meats and snack items are ordered through your server, but there is a whole bar with vegetables, seafood, starches, and other small items. They also have an area for sauces.

We kept getting different flavored karaage chicken, But honestly we couldn't tell the difference between some of the ones that had sauce on them.

I think my favorite meats were the beef toro and the premium ribeye. It definitely seemed that they were enforcing the 90 minute limit, but services pretty quick so you don't really have to wait long for items.

Wow, amazing. All you can eat meat and appetizers kept coming if you kept eating. Had the hot pot. Mussels, clams, chicken gyoza and lots of different veggies and noodles. I am so full. No official indoor waiting but they kindly set up a chair for my mom out of the sun.while we waited for my other brothers to arrive. And such good, attentive service unexpected from an all-you-can-eat place. Just, wow.

The restaurant is very crowded and expect a long wait time no matter when you get there. Parking was also a hot mess and unfortunately we had our car door dented in the parking lot by someone who parked next to us. Food was very good, I like the fact that everyone has their own pot for hot pot and can create a dish to their liking. You are given 90 minutes to complete your dining experience before you are booted to the curb. At first I was put off by having a time limit to enjoy dinner, but I found that it was plenty of time and we had no problems completing our dining experience within that time. Good variety of beef, pork, and seafood along with many vegetables for your hot pot, they also had many different flavors of soup stock to use as your soup base. They also had tasty choices for appetizers all included in the price. Price was just under 30 bucks a person and kids may eat free depending on their height. Interior was large and stylish, they also have a bar where you can get drinks to accompany your meal. Overall and great experience and would go again.
