Upon arriving, your greeted at the front to check in for your reservation before theyvwalk you to your private booth with your own personal chef cooking up the food for you. I like the privacy as you can chat amongst your friends and just enjoy a good time. We did the HYUN-omakase which is the all you can eat wagyu. The best choice if you are able to eat alot. You have several different cuts that the server will explain while cooking it for you. It literally is all you can eat and they will just keep bringing out whatever cuts you like. Uni was amazing!! Fresh and i wish there was more. The seaweed was a different type than your crunchy versversion. This is thin and hairlike and a strong taste in a good way. We've had two bottles of sake which were pretty good too. All that meat you need some lqiuor and beer to pair with it. read more

Probably one of the best "steak" experiences in my life thus far, but it's not even really like steak. It's genuinely like butter, and the service is spectacular with a decor that feels both upscale and comfortable. All in all, I really did love this to celebrate my birthday. However, with my second sentence - my stomach has been killing me the night I ate here and probably will the next few days. If you feel like you gotta tap out then listen to yourself. Those 5 rounds made me feel like king of the world, but it's not worth having a bad tummy. It's very very rich, and the beefy flavor / texture is unlike any you'll have unless you go to Japan or they cross breed a new cattle. It's probably a once and never again spot for me, but it's definitely a recommendation! read more

if you're looking for the ultimate KBBQ experience, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. The AYCE Wagyu is on a completely different level every cut is incredibly tender, albeit a bit fatty and can be a little heavy afterwards. My favorite parts of the experience is the private dining rooms, which make the meal feel intimate and elevated. It's perfect for date nights, special occasions The service is outstanding. The staff take the time to explain every cut of meat in detail where it comes from. they don't just drop the plates and walk away; they actually cook and serve the meat for you, ensuring every piece is grilled perfectly. Their attention to detail really set this place apart .this is hands-down one of the best KBBQ spots I've ever been to. Highly recommended! read more

We purchased wagyu tenderloins and it was worth it just for the experience! The place is pristine! The service was incredible and the final product was delicious! You could seriously cut the beef with a butter knife ! It was melt in your mouth good! I have never shopped in a place like this before! Definitely put this one on your list!!! read more

Wagyu kbbq style. Ah-mazing. There are private and semi-private booths that enhanced the dining experience. The pace of cooking and serving the Wagyu was ideal for you to pace yourself and savor each bite. Service was attentive with multiple staff taking care of you well. Food was fantastic. read more

I honestly don't get the one-star reviews for Hyun. The staff is kind and professional, and the Wagyu quality is incredible--some cuts rival what I had in Osaka. After the standard course, I managed to order two more encore cuts--but anything more than that might be too much for your tummy. Wagyu is high in fat, so pace yourself. The price? Totally worth it. In NYC, even mediocre dinners cost $50 - 60 after 5 pm. Minor quibbles: I'd love a few more veggie sides and softer lettuce for ssam, but overall, highly recommended! read more

Holy shit. This is where you wanna go if you want to feel like a classy fiend, a fancy big back. At $160 a person, you might be thinking it's not worth it. Honestly, it is expensive. But let's say you need about $20-25 a day. I might even agree to fast for 7 days just to eat here. That's how worth Hyun is. You are getting AYCE A5 Japanese Wagyu at Hyun. From their shoulders, knuckle, short ribs, their fatty cuts, their lean cuts, their 48 hour apple soy garlic marinade, the meat SINGS. Like it fucking sings in your mouth, so fatty yet so clean like the sexiest big opera lady you've ever seen. And she's got star instrumentalists in the back or something. I'm talking about TRUFFLE SALT, authentic tingly Japanese wasabi, Rose wine salt, deep punching gochujang. Trying the meat with each different condiment feels like you're at a runway show seeing different models in different outfits. Hyun is fantastic. 90 minutes of AYCE of some of the highest quality of meat on the planet at $160 sounds like a steal now right? Just go. Starve for a week if you have to. I know times are tough but Hyun is even tougher to beat. read more

HYUN - Hyun-makase - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Not sure why it's showing temporarily closed. We definitely ate here last night. This restaurant is amazing. Where else can you have AYCE Japanese A5 wagyu for only $159/person? The sides are lettuce and 2 kinds of salads (scallion and lettuce). We opted for additional sides of rice and bean paste stew. These were amazing with the meal as it cut the fat and richness of the wagyu. Food quality was definitely 5/5! The service was good but could be improved. For example, there were 4 parties dining (2 large, 2 small). Only 1 person knew all the cuts of meat and knew how to cook it all properly. The others looked like they were in training or didn't have as much knowledge. When speaking of the different cuts of steak, only 1 person knew the differences. Maybe it's their tactic, but it means we did have a bit of a wait for the encore dishes. One disappointment we had was our cocktail. Mine was super bitter but instead of letting me change it, I was told "too bad." For $19, I would think they should be able to let me change it out. The meal ended with a complimentary chocolate mousse dessert since we were celebrating our anniversary. We would definitely come back here for the food... and likely skip the drinks. read more

I had the pleasure of dining at Hyun during a visit to New York for a birthday celebration. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, though the space is quite small. The service, however, was exceptional--our server took the time to introduce each cut of meat and even cooked it for us at the table. The quality of the meat was excellent, and the side dishes complemented the fatty cuts perfectly. The server was also very enthusiastic about recommending additional sides, particularly the cold noodles, which turned out to be a great addition to balance the richness of the meat. That said, the meal came with a hefty price tag--sparkling water, for instance, was around $10. There's also a 90-minute time limit to all you can eat, and while the cooking and serving processes are thorough, they aren't exactly fast. The meat itself, though delicious at first, is quite fatty, and after the third serving, we found ourselves needing the sides to break up the richness. As a result, you might find yourself limited in how much you can eat, as you won't be consuming pounds of meat during the allotted time. While I did feel satisfied within the 90 minutes, I also felt like we needed to order more to get the most value for the experience. To be completely honest I was a bit sick of the fatty meat after 3 rounds. Overall, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The day after, my partner experienced a stomach issue, likely due to not being accustomed to the rich, fatty meat. I enjoy A5 wagyu, but I likely won't opt for an all-you-can-eat experience again. Due to the cost, time constraints, and the heavy nature of the meal, I likely won't return again. read more

Flew in from Dallas to try this place after seeing their raving reviews on TikTok and they did not disappoint. Tip #1: make a reservation! We booked 3 weeks ahead and the restaurant triple confirmed our resevation. I was able to ask to be sat in one of the private rooms in the back and they accommodated! We opted for the AYCE Wagyu and it did not disappoint. The iron grill master starts off with a set of different cuts of Wagyu that is cooked to perfection in front of you. They also serve accompaniments of salad, green onion salad, flavored salt, and rice (if you request). The meats are grilled in sections then they end on the marinated Wagyu short rib (our favorite). After that you are able to order your favorite cuts in bonus rounds until your 90 minute time is up. Service was fantastic the food speaks for itself and I would highly recommend coming here! read more

It was truly the best Korean BBQ I've ever had. The staff were extremely polite and friendly, and the A5 wagyu literally melted in my mouth.

Really nice interior, good drinks, and really friendly staff. Sides are extremely delicious as well and unlimited refills.

Came here for a birthday celebration with my girlfriend. This restaurant requires advanced booking so make sure to book it in advance. Unlimited wagyu is $159 / person with option to add wine, sparkling water or still water ($12 a bottle) or just regular tap water The process of the all you can eat went as follows: 1) They first give you a tray with samplings of 12 different meat parts. 2) they brought out a sample of marinated meat. 3) Once you are done with the samplings, they ask you to pick 3 types of meat parts or marinated meat as your refill. I felt that the marinated meat was the go-to option and ended up doing 3 refills of marinated meat. 4) Afterwards, they brought out a small plate of chocolate mousse. The server did not warn us that our time was almost up. When we asked for another refill, they said they closed the kitchen and our time for refill was up. Overall, we had a total of 5 refills. Be warn that the meat is fatty but tasted great. After we finished the entire meal, I was experiencing severe food coma read more

The staffs are friendly, we reserved via OpenTable 3 weeks in advance. This is all you can eat wagyu for $159 per person, the mineral water bottle is a $12 value, if you don't want that, you can ask for tap water. The place is beautiful some seating have individual rooms. They start off with the sampling menu and then you can ask for 3 cut meat or the marinated meat. We preferred the marinated meat. The seating time is only 90 mins. The server didn't let us know we cannot order more meat because our time was almost up. Make sure don't leave any meat behind because they will charge $25 per person. The chocolate mousse was very rich in chocolate. Staff: 4/5 Food: 4/5 Ambience: 5/5 read more

All you can eat high-end meat in a gorgeous venue with private booths Yes, it's expensive but you're getting good quality cuts of meat. Yes, it's timed and the second portions of meat can be smaller. However, all of us were stuffed at the end, and we definitely got our moneys worth. This is not a light meal. You have been warned. Probably not the best venue for first dates. We love the accompaniments, including the different salts, sauces. The waiter/cook did a great job with recommendations for the different cuts and what flavor profiles work. We loved dipping the bread in the pan (yes we probably clogged an artery but YOLO) Overall cost was about 225 per person counting tip read more

The meat just melted the instant you put it in your mouth. Highly recommend coming here with a group of meat lovers. read more

1 michelin star restaurant with reservations required in advance - $250 per person chef's tasting prepaid; gratuity can be added on during reservation or after your meal. They are pretty strict about their times so you can't come earlier and be seated earlier. Not much of a waiting area inside if you arrive early - if you need to wander it's near k-town. If you want to sit, there is a Starbucks Reserve catty corner (ish) to the restaurant where you can sit for a bit. Ambiance is a dark, warm feel. Low lighting, traditional Korean dining setup with closed off rooms with sliding wooden doors. Convection(?) cooktops at the table, not an open flame/grill. Generally around 4 people will be helping to serve you, your server, the chef who will come and explain each dish as well as 1-2 additional who help cook the meat/clear away dishes etc. Just something strange I noticed is that the drink cooler is in the entryway in a strange spot - felt like it was cumbersome when trying to talk to the hostess. course 1) 2 very small cake-like bites. First one is a kind of grilled cheese topped with caviar, second one is a foie gras mousse sandwich. done well but just not my cup of tea. Also seemed weird that this was the appetizer since they seemed like little cakes? course 2) slivers of sashimi in a delectable sauce, served in a very strangely large and cumbersome chilled 'bowl'. probably the best course out of all course 3) sujebi (a type of Korean soup) with in house made gnocchi like pasta, mushrooms, spinach and wagyu. interesting take since this is not typically a high end dish in Korea course 4) wagyu tongue with a chestnut and soy sauce topped with shaved truffles. great Korean inspired choices with the chestnut course 5) kbbq all wagyu with lots of marbling - a bit too fatty and tender imo. served with 2 types of salad, un-fermented kimchi, 2 salts for dipping, wasabi and gochujang. also some lettuce leaves for making wraps and an onion to grill. they grill everything for you at the table and cut up the pieces for you as well. also comes with a mushroom infused rice which I don't feel paired all that well with the meat - too much richness all around. course 6) an herby sorbet (I think altered from the regular ice cream given due to a request to not use eggs). it was refreshing and interesting but not something I'd want for. read more

Bring your appetite! 90 minute all you can eat Japanese A5 Wagyu beef grilled on your table by a server. We had a semi private booth which was great. They first brought over 10-12 different cuts of beef. Then they brought a marinated cut. After that we chose 4 more cuts to revisit. They also gave you truffle salt, red wine infused salt, wasabi and a sauce for the beef. Some small banchan (kimchi, veggie). Agree with some reviews that we felt rushed at the end ("is this your last order??") read more

Great service and great meat quality!! You get what you pay for at more than 100$ per person. If you are a carnivore then you will LOVE IT The meats are fatty. Succulent and umami rich. My favorite dipping was the truffle salt and the wasabi and my favorite cut was the marinated short rib. It was AMAZING. the meats are very very rich so unless you're built different you can only handle so many refills. My group only lasted 3 refills before we couldn't handle anymore. I had my doubts on the staff cooking for you but they do a very efficient job. It would be a lot better if they let the customer cook themselves since they are very strict on their dining time limit. A must try if you love beef but pricy. Good experience read more

One thing I will say about this place is they need to work on their dining experience. The check in process was overwhelming. The waiting area was small and crowded, and I could barely hear them calling our name. For the price of the omakase, I'd expect better dining environment. Their ventilation is so BAD. Our clothes (even my heat-tech under garments) all smells so strongly of the BBQ smell. They were also kind of rushing us towards the end because they needed to sit the next batch of people (even though they sat us 10 mins late!). Otherwise, food was good. Definitely needed a palette cleanser, the cold noodles were perfect. But overall, no matter how good the good was, I don't think I'd come back because of the dining experience. read more

I brought my girlfriend here for her birthday and we both loved our time eating here. Friends were telling us that we would feel so gross after eating all the meat, but glad to say that didn't happen to us. They serve high quality meats and nearly every single piece is like butter when you take a bite. Your server explains each cut before cooking the meat for you. In our experience, our server was diligent, so we never felt like in a rush during the 90 minutes to order meat back-to-back. The additional dish that we ordered was the naeng-myun. You might want a palette cleanser, because the oil and fat from the meat can start to linger in your mouth. It was delicious and refreshing. I'll admit I have a bias because naeng-myun is one of my favorite dishes. The interior is chic and inviting. You can impress a date by bring them here. It is pricey, but worth the visit. read more

Famous for it's wagyu steak, Hyun creates a very unique curated experience that's quite unique for an NYC steakhouse. Like a omakase, the chef chooses the cuts and grills the steak right there at the table. The A5 is something to behold, it's so marbled, so tender, it just melts in your mouth. My only complaint is that this was billed as an all-you-can-eat for 90 minutes, with prices to match. But in reality, you're at the mercy of the staff. We were constantly waiting for the chefs to refill and cook the steaks, and they cut us off after just over an hour. A bit of a scam to call it an unlimited menu! read more

If you're looking for high quality AYCE wagyu kbbq, HYUN is for you! The restaurant has a very modern, sleek, minimalist design that creates that high end atmosphere you'd expect, especially if you're shelling out $150+ per person for a meal. I'll start by saying that the wagyu they serve is absolutely delicious - so tender and melts in your mouth, as it should. What I wasn't expecting was to get tired of the wagyu so quickly during dinner. In theory, wagyu-only cuts seemed like something I would enjoy. But in reality, the fattiness kind of gets to you...and gets to the point where you wish you could balance it out with other cuts of meat. So honestly, the AYCE concept was not worth it for me, personally - I definitely did not eat as much as I was expecting (and hoping)! It's still quite a unique experience though, so would recommend trying it out at least once. read more

What an experience! I made reservations here back in July for my boyfriend's birthday and we had a time. I would say, because of the price point, that this place is definitely not a casual dinner, but a place to visit for a special occasion. During the 90 minute time slot, Your server will walk you through the cuts of meat and you try them all one by one. Afterwards, you choose your top three favorite cuts. I've seen some reviews where the time wasn't enough, however, I was able to order two additional servings and I tapped out. My boyfriend felt the same way. Overall, I would definitely come back here again for special occasions/birthdays and would recommend this place to anyone looking for an elevated meal! read more

Simply divine. My husband and I were visiting NYC and decided to have one splurgy meal, and HYUN was our choice. We saw AYCE wagyu beef and no further deliberation needed to be made, haha. We had 2 friends join us for dinner. We were seated in an enclosed booth, which felt like a really fancy train compartment with nice mood lighting. The four of us opted to have the A option ($130/pp) because we figured the wagyu status would be enough to blow us away without needing access to extra cuts. We were not disappointed with our choice. From start to finish, the beef was INCREDIBLE. The waiters do all of the cooking for your - you just watch, drool, and eat once they're done. It was hard for us to keep track of the cuts, because they start off organized (placed flat), and then the different pieces get all jumbled at the end (placed vertically to minimize further cooking). Our group sometimes opted to cook certain pieces a bit more after our server left the table. We've attributed this extra effort as the reason for all of our stomachs being fine afterwards (LOL...we had heard that others haven't fared so well). The sides that they served paired super well with the meats. I really enjoyed the scallion salad and the house-made kimchi. Even the mixed green salad had a delicious apple dressing that offset the richness of the meats so nicely! Finally, my friend opted to try the hojicha ice cream ($6) and it was DELICIOUS. SUCH concentrated hojicha with the right amount of sweetness - and honestly, very fairly priced lol My ONLY complaint is that we were not informed that rice wouldn't be included - they charged us $4/bowl. In the grand scheme of things, it's not very much, but still. I hardly touched my rice. Overall, we had an excellent experience at HYUN and I would happily come back if I were in town again! read more

All-you-can-eat wagyu?? What is this witchery? When my friend first proposed to come here I couldn't believe such a place exists, and I was very excited to try although a bit skeptical about the price point. After this experience I recommend everyone to come but once every 5 years as the prices are very steep and you shouldn't treat this experience necessarily like a buffet. Here are my favorite parts: - The cuts of the meat were crazy. I wouldn't say I'm someone with a very refined palate - for example, not being able to understand the difference between limeade and lemonade - but I could really taste the difference between all the cuts. There were cuts that were more gamey, others were more fatty, some were fatty first then meaty, and so on and so forth. It's crazy how just the different areas of the same cow can produce drastically different results. Absolutely loved the variety, although maybe they could have a little guide so that we know what we're eating. - Ribeye cap - I don't know what they put in this but this is officially my favorite cut of the night. It was so incredibly tender and melted in your mouth, I felt like crying the whole time. It was also so flavorful too, especially with a bit of salt on it. - Love the hot towel that was also fragranted right before the start of the meal. Wish they also gave one at the end. - The way the kimchi was served was WOW. I love the little stack although I wish they gave us a bit more of the leafy bits and not so much of stems. Here are some things they could improve on: - Although all the waiters were incredibly nice, for such an expensive restaurant I wouldn't say they were very attentive to us. A lot of the side dishes were not filled and we had to ask them before they were filled. - Some of the people in my party did not feel remotely full afterward because the cooking was quite slow. After the plate where there were all the different cuts of meat to try, they only gave us 3 more rounds which felt a bit crazy as I thought it would be more like 10 rounds. For a buffet, I think at the minimum you should feel full. Overall, would recommend coming but maybe once every 5 years. The meat is to die for but just expect that you might not feel full. read more

HYUN - Beautiful!!! - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

After seeing everyone get AYCE A5 WAGYU while visiting NY, I just knew I had to try it too. Hyun did not disappoint! It has a small entrance and can be easily missed, but once you are inside, you feel a sense of tranquility rush over you. The smell of meat and incense filled the air. All the meat were cooked to perfection by the staff. They very friendly and repeated a lot of the cuts when we forgot what they were. Some meat were buttery and melt-in-your mouth soft, some were slightly leaner and had a chew to them. We only got through 3 rounds of encore. The scallion salad and kimchi were a nice cut to the fattiness since everything was so heavy. The dips on the side were great, especially liked the truffle salt and wasabi. The only downside side was that the course itself was around $200 per person after tax and tip. Any other side dishes or drinks really add up as well. read more

I have heard great things about Hyun and the quality of their meats. It was a rainy Friday and we had a reservation for 6:30. Unfortunately we were running 10-15 minutes late and we called Hyun. The hostess told us that is fine but the time limit would begin right at 630, not when we got inside. When we got there, the hostess with the glasses were super rude to me and dismissive. I asked to speak to the manager and the manager never came. When you get seated, the menus literally state the time limit starts as soon as you get seated. We felt rushed trying to order quickly by our waiter. He even took our order and said he'd come back for our drink order. The drinks were tasty. The meat itself was very good though. We opted for Set B which was the more expensive set. We figured we wouldn't let the rude hostess ruin our night, although the vibe was gone. After the first round, we got two more rounds. The Wagyu is delicious but very buttery so you get very full quickly. I could see why people come here for the quality of the food. We also paid extra for two bowls of rice. The sides were constantly refilled, and the kimchi was delicious. We came here to celebrate our anniversary, and honestly I wouldn't recommend this restaurant for a romantic night. Everything is super rushed. After you finish eating, they basically tell you you have 10 minutes left to hang out before another table needs to sit. That is pretty unacceptable when you end up paying ~$450 for two people. I wish that I had the chance to speak to the manager about our experience, but it seems like Hyun only cares about making money. read more

10/10 would go again for a special occasion. We had a wonderful waiter. Food and sides were great. They somehow found out we were celebrating a birthday and gave us a small dessert. The waiter walks you through each cut , make sure to take notes so you know what to ask for the next round after the first batch. We had about 4 rounds after the first one with 3 meats at a time. We also had two refills of salads and lettuce. We used up the whole 90 minute time slot. The cost is pricy but it is pricy for a reason. I think next time around, I would go for just the set a . We did set b which included the marinated waygu. Side note, because it is waygu, I strongly suggest you do medium -medium rare. Asking for how to get here, we took the bus from the mets. But you can also use the subway too. read more

Really good quality food! A super good simple meal if you're looking for some good Korean bbq.

*Review #9 of 2023 Still can't believe a place like this exists! It's unlike any other kbbq I've ever had, because it's AYCE A5 wagyu! Nothing like feeling your arteries are clogging, because of all that marbling and fat just oozing into your arteries! It's something everyone should experience at least once! When we dined here, they offered two options: -First option is $125/person, and you get 8-10 different cuts of A5 wagyu -Second option is $160/person, and you get 12-15 different cuts. We went with the $160 option, but honestly, I think the $125 option would suffice! Service was great as well! The grill master did an excellent job of explaining all the different cuts, and which sauces/salts paired well with which meats! read more

Where else can you get all you can eat A5 wagyu? In the past, there used to be 2 hyun-makase options, one which was a little more expensive and a cheaper option. Now, it's just one flat fee which varies over the years due to inflation. They have 2 types of salad and a kimchi as refillable sides so you can get your fiber for the day. The first round is a sampler with a wide selection of different cuts of meat, which I can only remember by taking a picture and pointing at them. The marinated one is also an option. I came here a couple years ago and the uni rice was very extravagant, but might have been better if we didn't split it across 6 people so the portions were so small. Can't go wrong with any cut of meat here. Probably my favorite is the short rib and sirloin. The shoulder cap is shaped like a triangle and super fatty. They typically use a piece of bread to soak up the fat on the cast iron, but you can request to eat this amazing toast which is coated in basically beef tallow. Definitely come here hungry and get some soda or acidic drink to cut the fatty oil you eat and reserve ahead of time. read more

HYUN - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Still great service and food. Their prices have increased to $160 per person. I prefer the leaner cuts over the fatty ones - the fattier ones are closer to butter than they are meat, whereas the leaner ones are just excellent versions of beef that you'd normally eat. When they ask you if you want water, their default is a bottle of mineral water which costs $12 per. Oops, we drank too much. I strongly recommend rice, even though a small bowl is $4. The shiso sorbet is fantastic after such an indulgent meal, but my friends somehow didn't like the aftertaste of the shiso (which I thought added to the dessert). I still enjoy Hyun, but the price increase has now made it so that, after tip/tax, I'd rather just eat a 2-2.5 pound wagyu tomahawk at other steak places which is at a similar price point. Still great, but not as much of a value anymore. read more

What an experience! My partner and I had a very special occasion that we wanted to celebrate, and what better way than with all you can eat high quality meat. I was seriously shocked by how delicious every single cut we tried was, especially for a package that included "encores" of being able to revisit whichever meats we liked. While definitely on the pricier side (over $200 pp without drinks), it was definitely worth getting package B to try more of the delicious meats. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience (and was super satisfying). The service was increased, friendly, and came across as extremely humble and down to earth (wasn't pretentious, and very inviting to those that are unfamiliar with Korean BBQ or different cuts of beef). The vibe was also very intimate and we felt very special and taken care of. Overall - I would definitely recommend Hyun as a special occasion and unique experience! read more

HYUN - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

We were so excited to try this place since it was an all you can eat wagyu spot. We made reservations about a month out and were promptly seated at our reservation time. When you walk in, the restaurant has a really cozy, intimate vibe. You definitely feel like you're being catered to and it's an experience in itself. Their branding is right-on! When we sat down we were given a few sides such as kimchi and a salad. The kimchi was so fresh and was really spicy (just how I like it!). The salad was also a really nice touch and had a good amount of dressing. Starting out for wagyu, the grill master brought over an assortment of the meat cuts available. He explained each cut of meat and then went ahead and cooked each cut individually. He served us and then gave recommendations of which sauce/topping to use on each specific cut. After we finished the initial assortment, we could order any cut of meat we just tried. At first bite, the quality of the wagyu meat was so tasty and tender. I will say towards the end of our meal though that all the cuts of wagyu started to taste the same. Our waiter was really amazing. He made sure that our drinks, sauces, and sides were always replenished. We also had a lot of questions about the restaurant origins and the processing of the meat. He took his time explaining and giving us some insight into the restaurant which was really cool to learn about. The only reason I'm giving this place a 3 star is because of how our party felt after leaving the restaurant. We were a party of five, but four of us had digestive issues after leaving. I'm not sure if it's because of the oiliness of the meat, but it did feel very heavy on our stomachs afterwards. The other comment I have is that they did space out taking our subsequent orders which felt like even though it's AYCE, there is a limit to the amount of wagyu each table can be served. Overall this place is definitely worth the try, especially great for a group of people. The wagyu itself is really good quality but keep in mind it is oily and heavy on the stomach. read more
