    Although a huge franchise group it felt like a “ one of” restaurant… great staff. Most of our group was unfamiliar with BBQ style but server walked them through everything… didn’t upsell and made us feel welcome. Now the food- I have eaten Korean bbq often and this was first rate. Tasty marinade and tender. Group of 4 … server suggested the 3 person set ( as it’s a lot of food)… large sake carafe… with tip 45 a person- very reasonable given the Waikiki high prices throughout the resort area. Just go there and enjoy

    Took my wife on our Anniversary date and she loved the R&B music. She practically sang our entire date. She loved the experience.

    Such a fun experience! We had never been to a Japanese barbecue before and got the wagyu sampler. It was delicious and fun. Imagine paying extra to cook your own food 😝 !! But it was a something different and exciting. The staff were super helpful as well!

    Food quality has really gone down. The meat is chewy and has a lot of cartilage. Won’t go back.
