I found Elements Brasserie via a search online and saw the Surf & Turf Monday special, so booked it in. The food quality was quite impressive and the service was very friendly and professional. The ambiance and aesthetic of the restaurant was really quite nice too (except for the table near us with young children running around everywhere!). Will definitely return and am excited to try other meals on the menu too (as well as the S&T again!!).

This is the first time I came to Kyo yakiniku. Generally, everything is good. If I have to pick something, I'd say put more variety food on the menu.
