    Recommending this restaurant to all my friends and family!!! 🌟 Silver all you can eat, £50pp (plus 12.5% service charge) 🎁 On Boxing Day, I brought my date here (he was craving all you can eat and he’s never had Japanese bbq before). We were seated in the basement, in a little “room”, giving us private space to enjoy the meal. ⏱️ You might notice on the menu that says “each guest may order a maximum of 2 items at a time and must finish consuming their previous order before ordering their next round”. This meant that we could order 4 dishes every time. In practice, however, we were allowed to place our next order when the food from the previous order arrived. The portions were generous, so we started to feel full at around the 1-hour mark. Two hours for the whole meal is definitely more than enough! 🍖 What we had: takoyaki x4, chicken gyoza x2, crispy seaweed x2, miso soup x2, french fries, steamed rice, flat iron, hanger steak x3, kachi short rib, butter garlic short rib, yaki-shabu beef x2 (highly recommend!!!), toro beef (x2), pork kalbi, Japanese styled sausage, butter corn 🚒 Halfway through our meal, the gauze burnt and caught fire. The staff were very helpful and replaced it with a new one. 🍶 Our only suggestions for improvement are: (1) provide a jar of tap water for the table, instead of having to ask for water every 15 minutes, you know how quickly you get thirsty, and (2) make sure the restaurant is stocked with enough tongs
