Let me start by saying that they have a happy hour hour menu! When we arrived at Niku, our table wasn't quite ready yet and they asked if we wanted to wait at the bar, hence how I found out about this menu! I feel like people are gatekeeping this because they have really good deals on food/apps, and select wine/beer, and cocktails, and the cocktails were SO good! I've read so many reviews but I did not see one that mentioned a happy hour. We were actually at the pub next door grabbing a drink waiting for our dinner reservation to come up (6:45 on a Saturday). Had I known about HH sooner, we would have skipped the pub and came straight here. I had the Jade Obsession (Haku vodka, italicus bergamopt, matcha, lychee, yuzu, lemon, aquaphaba). Now, I'm normally not a lychee gal but the lychee flavor here was very subtle and you just taste really smooth, refreshing matcha drink. You don't even taste the alcohol, which can be dangerous! Hubby had the Lust Island (Awayuki Strawberry Gin, lavender, lemon, mio crisp sparkling sake). I didn't love it only because I don't like gin but he seemed to enjoy it. We ended up ordering two more drinks right before happy hour ended and we were able to bring it to our table. I had the Forbidden Plum (ume plum, elderflower, ginger, vodka, egg whites) and he had the Cherry Blossom (Hendricks Flora Adora, soho lychee elderflowers, yuzu, grapefruit), and we each liked our own drinks better. The bartender was super nice and genuinely wanted feedback on what we liked/didn't like but I had no notes for my drinks. But enough about drinks and onto the food! We opted for the Unlimited Grand Wagyu Menu. Everyone starts out with the Grand Wagyu Box (Japanese A5 Wagyu striploin, Australian short rib, ribeye, Japanese A5 skirt steak, and Australian zabuton). Get out your cameras because it's a pretty cool presentation. You can also order each of these a la carte if you decide there's one you really like. We also ordered the wagyu nigiri, beef tongue, Japanese A4. After a while, the meats do kind of taste the same and are very rich and filling because of the fat content. It would have been nice to see some beef tartare on the menu. My favorite beef item was probably the wagyu nigiri but it had a lot of rice. For non-meat, we had the sashimi platter, toro with ikura, seafood tartare, grilled lobster tail, miso Chilean seabass wrap, wagyu fried rice, and lobster roll with fries. I know, I know - you should get carbs at AYCE but my husband loves fried rice. We immediately regretted this decision because it was super basic. Overall, I think I liked the seafood items over the beef because there was more of a variety. My faves were the Chilean seabass, grilled lobster tail, torotaku, and sashimi platter (so basically most of them LOL). Their online menu advertised Norwegian King Crab, but it wasn't on the menu when we got there so I felt a little mis-led, and was disappointed. For dessert, they had a yuzu cheesecake, matcha cheesecake, and matcha ice cream. Cheesecakes are pretty heavy desserts, so it would have been nice to have something like fresh fruit, or sorbet. We did note on the reservation that we were celebrating my husband's birthday but they didn't do anything extra or special for it. While the overall experience was good, I'm not sure I'd come back, just because of the price point, and I think I would rather go to an AYCE seafood buffet. Plus, there are so many other NYC restaurants to try first before I would make a return trip here. At least not for the AYCE. However, I will definitely be returning to try some happy hour bites and some cocktails. read more

I went here with my best friend for her birthday and the meat was tasty. We wanted to try the $119 menu AYCE but it was only the tasting menu, which had plenty of food but prices/offers were misleading on the website. I ordered the cherry blossom drink which was very floral and sweet, much needed palate reset. The beef cuts served were very meaty. I enjoyed the lobster tail and appetizers offered. Service was on the slower end as it took them almost 2 hours to serve us and the ambiance was very private. I enjoyed the private seating but service could have been better. read more

This place is hyped up. I have to say I was quite excited to try this place, since I've been to the sister restaurants. This one is the worst one in my opinion. The ambience is quite dark. We were seated on the first floor behind the bar. The bathrooms were disgusting. It reeked, was super hot and the floors were sticky. Not something you would have expected for this price range. The best thing about this place has to be the mid wagyu and meats. The sides were terrible. The best side was the lobster, but that needed a lot of lemon juice for flavor. All the cooked food that came from the kitchen was barely lukewarm. The server was kind enough to heat it up. The sushi/sashimi was like supermarket grade. Another turnoff was that they kept trying to sell the chubby membership. I might have considered it if the food wasn't terrible. If we tell you we will think about it, please don't ask us again and again. read more

Went here for my sister's birthday for lunch time and what an experience. It felt especially elevated since we had a private room to ourselves. The cuts were rich so certainly you gotta pace yourself . I can't remember having such an amazing meal like this in a long time. I'm not too much of a fan of tartare, but this was absolutely snapped. read more

I've visited the LA location before which I thoroughly enjoyed and was really excited to try their NYC location! *AMBIANCE* We came here for a special occasion and made reservations beforehand. We took an elevator up where we were seated, where they have a communal dining area as well as private rooms. Overall, the look and feel seems very similar to the LA location with its dark mood lighting. *FOOD* This is meat paradise. We tried the unlimited grand wagyu menu ($158 mon-thurs // $168 fri-sun // 100 minutes) which has a wide assortment of starters, seafood, specialty wagyu dishes, sides and desserts. Everything in the grand wagyu box was really tasty and some cuts just melt in your mouth. I also really enjoyed the lobster tail and the wagyu ribeye yakisuki. *SERVICE* Service was good and attentive. Our server also explained how the menu worked given it was our first time at this location and he also made recommendations on how many dishes and what to order. They also cooked all the meats for us in a separate area. If you are looking to indulge in a decadent meat session, this is the place to be! read more

Finally tried NIKU X. I've been thinking about trying the LA location for a while but never had time to. I got the Unlimited Grand Tasting Menu for $168 and went in very excited, but it quickly fell short. They ran out of several items the night I went (Sunday), including caviar, king crab legs, and wagyu tallow shishito peppers, along with a few others. The waiter explained it was the end of the week so many items were out by then. Unfortunately, I was only told after ordering. Paying $168 plus tax and tip -- easily around $225 per person -- I felt a bit cheated. The meat cuts were good, but after a couple of rounds the fatty portions became too much. I understand Wagyu is meant to be rich and fatty, but for me personally it was overwhelming after a while. The ambiance is cool and gives off a speakeasy vibe. Service was good as well -- they were attentive throughout. Would I return? Maybe not. Would I recommend it? Yes, if it's your first time and you want to try Wagyu. However, I would likely recommend the regular tasting menu instead of the Unlimited Grand Tasting. At that price point, and with the possibility of missing items, it didn't feel worth it. read more

Lets get RIGHT into it: Niku X is the kind of place that makes you stop halfway through dinner and wonder if you somehow wandered into a luxury food fever dream. We did the unlimited Wagyu and Seafood, and it was completely absurd in the best possible way. I have not eaten a ton of wagyu in my life, but this meal absolutely changed that. Every round felt like a new flex: multiple lobster tails, rich wagyu tartare, incredible sea bass for someone who does not even usually eat fish, and cut after cut of wagyu so buttery and tender it practically vanished on my tongue. I am not exaggerating when I say I felt like I was chasing the flavor of the meat before it dissolved. That is how melt THROUGH your mouth this whole experience was. The drinks were out of this world, the meal was wildly memorable, and the service pushed everything over the top. Our server was AMAZING, and not just in the standard polite, attentive way. He genuinely guided the experience and made ordering feel effortless, which turned a huge unlimited menu into something exciting instead of overwhelming. It felt like he was helping craft the meal in real time, and that made the whole night even more special. This is the kind of place I already know I will come back to for another special occasion. Truly one of those dinners that stays with you. 11/10. Literally: steak too juicy, lobster too buttery. read more

Not bad. We did the unlimited experience. My husband liked the meat - I thought it was only ok and most of it was too fatty (just a personal thing ). I did really enjoy the hand rolls - and the sea bass wasn't bad. The Norwegian king crab was pretty poor quality so I didn't have much but it is king crab so my husband got a refill. The second batch was admittedly better than the first. I loved the free kimchi to start so much so I kept getting refills and then they ran out - it was helpful to cut against the fat of the meat. Agedashi tofu and shisito peppers weren't bad - would pass on the asparagus. Yuzu and matcha cheesecake were also both decent. Service was ok. My water was constantly empty but they did stop a decent amount of times asking if we wanted to order more. They must have improved from other older reviews bc we didn't find an issue with timing for asking for more food. Also the inside was unbearably hot, even for me and I always run cold. Overall, glad we tried it but not sure I'd return. read more

I was really looking forward to dining at Niku X. While there were many things that I enjoyed, the overall experience left me disappointed. We went for a weekday dinner, which made it a little less pricey. The food itself was excellent. I enjoyed the A5 Wagyu Nigiri, Wagyu Box, A5 Ribeye Thick Cut, Grilled Lobster Tail, Toro with Ikura, and the sashimi. It was high quality and nicely presented. The location is also a plus since it was right in Herald Square. However, my experience would have been much better if I hadn't felt so rushed. When I made the reservation, it wasn't stated that our dining time would be limited due to the kitchen closing at a certain hour. Had I known in advance, I would have planned accordingly. Instead I felt pressured to eat quickly so I wouldn't miss out. At one point, I was eating so fast that I felt like I was in one of those Coney Island Contests where you have to stuff your face before the time runs out. I didn't get to fully relax and enjoy everything. On top of that, they knew it was my partner's birthday, and there wasn't even a small acknowledgement- no candle on a dessert, no complimentary treat, not even a simple happy birthday from the waitstaff. For a restaurant of this standard, I was very disappointed. Overall, clearer communication about time constraints and a little more attention to special occasions would have made a big difference. Any small gesture would've gone a long way in creating a better experience. read more

It was my 2nd time here. Food was good, and service was friendly. The menu changed and is smaller. They removed the fried rice, yaki udon, and other items. On Saturday, AYCE is $168 for 100 minutes, which was worth it for the variety and quality. This time they showed us the ingredients and took them away to cook rather than in front of us where the meat smell would permeate. Everything was tasty, fresh, and rich from the wagyu to the seafood. They have yakiniku sauce, ponzu, and seasoned salt. They cut the crab leg shells so it's easier to take the meat out. The wagyu box and lobster tail were the most memorable. Cocktails were strong and good at $20 and up. There's a coat check. The servers forgot some items but to be fair a lot was ordered and they fixed it if we asked them to check on it. read more

Went to NIKU X at the beginning of this month for boyfriend's mom birthday. I must say this dinner was incredible and the customer service was beyond impressive. Alex was our server the night that we had dinner, he literally answered all of our questions ( there were a lot of questions too) and served us the entire night legit never left our side. Alex was the best server I have ever had in my life at a restaurant! The food was incredibly fast to come to our table and insanely fresh. We loved everything that was served to us that night. Oh gosh I forgot to mention, they served incredible drink!!!! No need for me to say this but this restaurant is beautiful but you may already know that from social media. Legit a 10/10 when it comes to service, ambience and food. I definitely will go again when I'm in NYC! read more

What an amazing experience!! It was truly an unforgettable memory. I came with a total of 4 people to celebrate a friend's birthday. We chose the unlimited wagyu and seafood option. The servers were super friendly and walked is through all the food. The place is very well decorated and pretty. The food quality were superb and top notch. For the unlimited wagyu, they have to serve every cut first and then we can order more. Since it was wagyu, I got full pretty quick. The wagyu melts in your mouth and it tastes amazing. The seafood were delicious such as the lobster tail and sashimi. We told our server that we were celebrating our friend's b'day and they came in with a slice of cake and sang the bday song. It was a fantastic night and meal. We are definitely coming back! read more

Finally got to check out nikux after some intense anticipation. I did the all you can eat premium for $138pp after the membership discount, which also came with a choice of a small (note, very small) amount of caviar or uni. That did not matter much though, as the meal was about the A5 that you can have as much as you want. My favorite cut was the A5 striploin, which I think I had an ungodly amount of throughout the meal. The meat was cooked to perfect melt-in-your-mouth level, and intensely satisfying. Most of the non-wagyu items were also very tasty, with the exception being the king crab legs, which tasted a bit grainey or stringy, and very very cold, probably just defrosted. Overall, it was a great time and I am looking forward to visiting again down the road! read more

Niku X is probably one of my top favorite restaurants of all time. While we have them in LA, we went to the NYC Location while we were in town. Niku X is part of the Chubby group where we already had a membership for. We made reservations online to go on a weekend evening. Food is 10/10. There's a number of wagyu options and seafood. The menu we selected had some appetizers and dessert. Our server Rikki was fantastic and gave us appetizer recommendations, walked us through the different meats, and cooked them for us. At some point, we were comfortable cooking on our own that Rikki left us to it which was also very nice. The restaurant overall is very well themed. We were seated in what was basically our own room. It made the atmosphere very cozy and personalized to us which i really enjoyed. Niku X, like most of the Chubby group, is generally pricey but absolutely worth it. I can't wait to go again! read more

Unlimited A5&seafood experience for $158-$168 or $138-$148 for chubby club members. Honestly a pretty good experience, main thing that stood out was the amazing salad and A5 ribeye. Everything else didn't stand out much. Most of the meats were either too chewy, not much flavor, or toooooo much fat - even for me and I love the fatty meat pieces! The lobster tail lacked flavor and they don't have much seafood options, thought they used to have king crab but they don't anymore and just crab coquettes. The potatoes were cold and not much depth. The A5 cuts overall was great but just alright. I may be biased comparing to another A5 AYCE restaurant as well as compared to chubby cattle which is my favorite branch of the Chubby group! Overall still solid experience, I just don't think the food I received was that worth it for the price point compared to chubby cattle or other A5 restaurants. Service was slow and not the friendliest compared to other branches either but still alright. Also the strangest happened after the meal - I felt more bloated than normal after normal AYCE meals and even threw up for first time in years, not sure if it was because of the excessive fat or undercooked meats like nigiri but it felt very off. read more

Had an amazing experience at Niku X. From the moment we sat down, everything felt elevated and well thought out. The food was incredible--high quality, perfectly prepared, and worth every bite. Big shoutout to Server Kay and Server Mikey. Both of them were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely made the experience even better. They struck that perfect balance of being present without hovering, and their recommendations were spot on. If you're coming here, definitely ask for Kay or Mikey you'll be in great hands. I'll definitely be back. read more

I think this place is good value if you're interested in tasting a lot of different things at a set price. But our experience wasn't so good, and after the meal we did not feel so well for 2 days. The place was pretty quiet when we went there. However, we waited 10 mins to be seated as our server was not ready. Then when we ordered, we were told the unlimited options do not include sides, which contradicts with the menu itself, but I didn't press coz it's not important to me, but it's strange. The meat box was supposed to be the highlight but the cuts were not so good. The skirt steak was very chewy, and the short ribs super fatty. The beef tongue was super thin even though it's described as "premium thick cut" on the menu. The dessert choices were matcha and yuzu cheesecakes, but only matcha cheesecake was available. We were given a crepe cake choice and we accepted it. We waited a long time for the desserts, and when they finally arrived, the crepe cake was still FROZEN. I understand that these restaurants get their desserts delivered frozen, but that's not how you're supposed to serve it. We commented on it and the server nonchalantly said "Yeah, coz it was in the fridge". Oh thanks, I didn't know that. Like I said both of us did not feel well for 2 days after the meal. It wasn't exactly food poisoning but I know I won't be rushing back. read more

The food here was excellent but very pricey. -1 star because I called to inquire about their lunch menu availability which I was told was available. However, when I came on a Monday, they said that because it's the week between Christmas and New Years, they only had one menu. Anywho, because of this menu miscommunication though, I probably had the best beef of my life! We had AYCE A5 wagyu in Japan but we didn't get the fattier cuts. Here, the tasting box comes with the fattiest cuts that quite literally melt in your mouth. Highly recommend trying it once! Especially if you have a chubby cattle membership. read more

NIKU X takes AYCE to a LUXURY level. The service is amazing. They cook the meats for you, the servers are very informative and also they spend a lot of time making sure that you're also getting the most out of this experience. They had lobster, snow crab, king crab, wagyu fried rice, uni and caviar on tenderloin, so many options for wagyu meat, sashimi, toro, anything luxurious you can think of, they have it! They don't limit you on the quantity you can order, as long as you finish it. You definitely need to try the oxtail dumplings, wagyu fried rice, zabuten (our favorite wagyu) and the toro. I would definitely recommend coming here and giving this place a try. It came out to around $160 pp for the Grand Wagyu Tasting, but with everything being AYCE, it was worth it. The desserts were also amazing! The vanilla Mille crepe was insane. read more

Well worth the money! My group of 6 had a dinner reservation and were seated in one of the private rooms upstairs. Our server JP was very attentive throughout the meal, and started us off with a few of the appetizers that he recommended. We tried the A5 wagyu tartare, oxtail potstickers, A5 wagyu carpaccio, wagyu nigiri with foie gras, miso soup, and tom yum soup. We also had ordered the lobster tails and both crabs. All were delicious! Then onto the wagyu grand tasting, everything tasted so good that it was hard to choose a favorite. By the end of the meal I could barely breathe from being so full lol. I will say that I wasn't really a fan of the uni here. It tasted a lot more fishy than other uni that I have tried. The cocktails were all great too. My favorite was The Ichigo. read more

Celebrated my birthday at Niku X recently and enjoyed the meal! We opted for the unlimited menu option in order to try all the delicious options. This wasn't our first time at a high end AYCE waygu spot, so we had some idea what to expect. What we really enjoyed: - steak tartare (among the best we've ever tried) - miso Chilean sea bass (the fish melted in our mouth and the sauce paired so well) - Australian wagyu zabuton - king crab wagyu fried rice Some of the A5 wagyu cuts did miss the mark for us a bit quality-wise, and the Norwegian King Crab didn't have much of a flavor at all and very difficult to get out of the shell. Service was really attentive, which we appreciated. Felt like the membership was being pushed on us though.. Friendly, and helpful in their recommendations! However, at that price point, we are likely to try a new spot next time. read more

Service was excellent for our large party. My favorite was surprisingly the sea bass and the wagyu carpaccio took me by surprise how good and melt in your mouth it was.

Been to the place a couple of times. The food is 4 stars, service is 5 stars. The issue is with the kitchen: whenever you place a reorder, even it's raw meat. It takes forever. The most recent one was 3 days ago: requested a repeat order of raw beef, which should have taken 5 minutes, instead it took 40 minutes. Maybe the kitchen didn't want you reorder, but don't label as "unlimited" in the end. read more

Finally swung by Niku X after having seen a ton of videos! We came for weekend lunch, the 100 minute $119 package. Everyone was super kind, especially Alex (Myat Hein) our server. All the meat was great and I appreciated how they brought out a couple rounds at first so you could try various cuts before doubling back to order your favourites. We liked the skirt steak and the yakisuiki the best. Super stuffed leaving, but a great AYCE experience. read more

We visited Niku X in LA previously, and since we were in New York this week, we decided to give the New York location a try. Our experience in LA wasn't great, so we were hoping for an improvement this time around. We chose the all-you-can-eat Wagyu menu. The evening began on a positive note, with our server helping us pick several fan favorites to start. They mentioned that guests could cook their own meat, but then ended up cooking everything for us. They explained that most customers prefer to have their meat cooked by the staff, which made it a bit awkward to insist on cooking it ourselves. In my view, the all-you-can-eat concept felt somewhat gimmicky. The meal is capped at an hour and forty minutes, but the slow pace of service left little time to place additional orders. It took a while just to get the first round going, and since the servers controlled the cooking, the overall rhythm felt sluggish. After sampling most of the dishes we wanted, we requested a few more items. Despite still having about 20 minutes left, the staff gave the impression we were out of time. They did bring more food, but it came across as rushed, which detracted from the enjoyment. The meat itself was good, though not quite melt-in-your-mouth tender. Some cuts were a bit chewy. My favorite dish was the sukiyaki, while the Wagyu tartare was also very well done. The presentation was impressive--meat arrived in a box surrounded by dramatic dry ice fog. However, the overall experience felt hurried. We had hoped the New York location would outperform LA, but unfortunately, neither left me wanting to return. The concept is solid, but the execution falls short read more

Came here for Saturday lunch with a group of 6 based on a friend's recommendation. It was a very good experience. We were sat in a private room upstairs and the interior feels chic and modern. We got the unlimited tasting experience and tried pretty much all the appetizers, seafood dishes and the wagyu meats. The appetizers were amazing both in the presentation and taste. The sashimi was very fresh and the wagyu beef tartare is so tender and juicy. We also loved the oxtail dumplings and the shrimp tempuras. For the seafood selections, the lobster tails were hearty and well cooked so we got multiple orders of that. The crab legs were not as impressive. Then we were presented with a selection of Wagyu beef cuts and the waiter grilled and prepared them for us quickly. The cuts were very high quality and most just melts in your mouth. Even though Wagyu beef is very high in fat, most cuts didn't feel too greasy. Some highlights included the caviar / uni dish, the ribeye yakisuki, and the Wagyu yakiniku style. The fruit salads, matcha cheesecake and yuzu cheesecake at the end were all very tasty but we were too stuffed to get more orders. Overall it's worth the price and I wish I had more stomach space for the lamb, the sea bass and other cuts. Would love to come back to try more. read more

Sorry, but this is an easy 2 star review. We have a reservation at 5pm but they told us we need to wait 20 minutes to be seated. Why the fuck? Because the waiter is seating 1 party at a time and bringing them up to the 2nd floor. Seems time consuming and absolutely unnecessary. I get they try to be upscale. And then we were seated on the first floor, could they not just seat us right away instead of making us stand there for 20 minutes? Inside was empty anyways. The 1st floor is like a big bar area with only a couple of grills because the waiters will grill everything for you. So they will grill the other party's food and yours on the same grill so make sure you tell them you have allergies or do not eat pork. Minus 1 star for the food - The lobster tail and king crab was overcooked and chewy, like what is this? I paid $168 for this to be over cooked. Minus 1 star for cooking everything all at once. When you eat wagyu its very rich and fatty, so you need to take you time eating it, BUT NO the waiter goes ahead and cook the whole box of meat and by the time I reach for another piece it was COLD. And they throw in Australian wagyu too which I did not like because it tasted gamey. There were also no pickles to cut through the grease. And then they also tell you to put in the order for the last 30 minutes because after that, you can't order. Mind you I wasn't even done with the meat yet because it was so fatty. But I have to order everything at once and then of course they cooked it. Like I don't even know if I want dessert later, that will be determined later on how full I am . But I don't have that option, I have to put in the order incase I can't order it later, which throws off the how dining experience. Minus 1 star for the mediocre sushi, texture of the salmon, yellowtail and tuna were all the same. There's like no flavor and just super soft and squishy overall. Won't be coming back. Wish I went to Hyun. read more

Came here in Valentine's Day. Street parking out front after 6pm on weekdays, huge plus if your reservation allows for it. Cool looking sign out front with reception right on the other side of that door. Our reservation was for 6:45, we showed up a little earlier but wasn't seated till 7. We hung out at the bar in the mean time. Had the old fashion and the valentines drink special. Old fashion was mediocre and the valentines drink was pretty terrible - overly sweet. The bar area was a bit claustrophobic, especially once people started packing in, waiting for their table to be ready. The ceilings were a bit low, ventilation a bit weak, only to be broken up by strong gusts of wind any time anyone opened the door. At 7, we were escorted through the elevator to our table, a small room for 4 with a grill in the middle. There's a sliding door which is nice for privacy. It was a bit cold in the room and the server quickly remedied it by turning on a heater. Service was amazing. Our server, Rose, was informative, helpful, and very skilled at preparing the meat. In terms for the wagyu, the meat was well presented and of good quality overall. Each piece was tender but flavor was a bit lacking in some cuts. The seafood dishes were a hit or miss. The sashimi unfortunately is a pass - small flavorless cuts of fish. The toro were of poor quality. The grill lobsters, seafood tartare, wagyu tartare were excellent. Afraid to admit, we also ordered the fries... which were also excellent. Overall, a good dining experience. Wagyu is not as good as Hyun. Seafood option makes the experience unique from Hyun. The seafood selection is a nice break from the massive amount of meat that is offered. Thanks Rose for an excellent meal. read more

My friends and I opted for the Unlimited Grand Wagyu Tasting Menu where you get to try a carefully curated selection of premium wagyu and seafood starters, soup, sides, and mains. We were seated at the Chef's Counter where they grill the wagyu for you on the spot! In my opinion, I felt that this experience was more intimate and personal as the meats were cooked perfectly and we got to interact with the chefs (as opposed to cooking the meat ourselves in a booth). ‍ Everything I ate was top notch quality and I couldn't be happier. Although the seafood like the seabass, grilled lobster, and sashimi were amazing, I'd save a little more room for the Japanese A5 wagyu options. We went through most of the wagyus in the grad tasting, but would have liked to try everything and go back for our favorites. The interior was upscale, moody, and set a nice romantic vibe for the evening. This would be great for a date night or a birthday celebration, but, I just went with my homeboys on a Friday night because we wanted to treat ourselves! This cost $148/pp as we got a $20 discount with my friend's Chubby Membership. There's also different tasting menus and lunch options at lower price points, but I think the Unlimited Grand Wagyu Tasting Menu was totally worth it. read more

Wow! I was impressed. The manager Brian was extremely friendly and has a good memory he gave good suggestions and he know what he is doing. He is a good manager. Our server kayck was funny and made our dinner really enjoyable. We ordered all the Wagyu appetizer and the crab legs. Everything was really delicious. The flavorings and seasoning was on point for the appetizer. Sea bass : my favorite 5/5 Alaska king crab: the cut it up for you so it's ways for you to peel the crab. 4/5. They had butter on the side . I wish it was garlic butter instead. Wagyu Carpaccio: wow this was delicious. They had some truffle salt or oil on it. Delicious. 5/5 Wagyu Sando : it was okay not the best 3/5 Wagyu tartare : 4/5 favor was really balance. Lobster tail : presentation was on point. Flavor is just normal lobster 3.5/5 We were full from all the appetizer and didn't have full stomach space for the wagyu. We still got the wagyu. There was one cut that was the best compare to all the cut. It really was unlimited but you get full after all the appetizers. For the value it's a good price $158 unlimited. The cocktail was balance. Dessert was okay. 3/5. I wish there was some lighter dessert like icecream or mochi or fresh fruits. Would I come again? Yes! read more
