- Julia MakSeptember 30, 2012Prime beef was nicely marbled. Spicy drops made me want to drink all my sauces! We loved the service there too we are definitely coming back!
if you get chicken dont forget to get a side teriyaki sauce and hot drops makes such a difference in the sauces & strawberry ice cream for dessert !
Carllee CDecember 10, 2016Delicious Shabu Shabu, sake, jelly fish, & amazing customer service. What else is there in life?
I consider a meal here a religious experience. My homies Ash and Leonard run the show. If you don't eat the beef here, you should be shot. Team Goma sauce for life!
Awesome place! Large choice beef and you're all set. :-) Then you get a bowl with soup base to make udon soup. YUMMY!- One of my favorite restaurants! This place can get VERY busy so get there early. The people are GREAT... atmosphere is GREAT and you cook the food! =) Read more
Large beef! Brown Rice! Beer on tap! Spicy drops! Soup base! YUM!!!
Hot drops aren't very hot. I kept adding drops and gave up after 4 or 5.
Delish!! I love the chicken with the peanut sauce :)

"Have them turn your leftovers into porridge. The soup is great, but this turns into an amazing Japanese risotto good for many days later"
