The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, but parking can be a bit of a challenge due to nearby establishments. Be cautious, as not everyone seems to be great at parking. The interior is appealing and perfect for Instagram if that’s your thing. However, as a larger person, I found the seating uncomfortable and felt out of place among the usual clientele. When we visited, it wasn't busy, and there were plenty of open tables. Despite that, we were made to wait while other guests were seated, which left me feeling unwelcome. The food was rather forgettable; the vegetables weren't as fresh as they should have been—the cabbage was slightly spotted—and the meat was just okay. My sukiyaki didn’t impress me. The service also fell short of my expectations. I really wanted to enjoy this place, but I won't return unless I run out of other shabu options in town.

The service was generally good, but having only one waitress made it a bit challenging to get timely attention. The spicy bone broth was flavorful, but it became too salty once it boiled down and more broth was added. I recommend asking for a refill of a milder broth or even just hot water for a better balance. My friend ordered the American Wagyu, which was leaner and priced at $28. I found myself preferring the Wagyu since 10 oz of fatty meat felt like a lot, but both options were delicious. The meals came with rice and a side of vegetables, and there was a low-carb veggie option that swapped udon for extra vegetables. The sauces here were better than those typically found in hot pot restaurants, which was a pleasant surprise. We also tried the calamari skewers, which exceeded our expectations. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would return for higher-quality hot pot meat.
