Prime kalbi short rib was our favorite, although yaki shabu was a close second. The shoyu chicken thighs were also delicious. I would definitely order the garlic chicken noodles again! The beef tongue is also not as tender as I remember it being in the past. The herb and garlic butter for the broccoli was a solid flavor enhancer. The gyu-sushi was kind of a disappointment - it was like a roast beef slice on rice with some seasoning. Unfortunately, the place didn't look well cleaned and maintained. There were some spots on the booth we were shown to. Service was standard.

We intended on getting the à la carte menu at first but realized that based on how many big eaters we had, it was more bang for our buck with the all you can eat menu. We chose the lowest tier of all you can eat and there were some people who preferred seafood; even if you upgraded to the highest tier the selection in our opinion, didn't get drastically better that it was "worth it". We had a party of six and was seated at a long table with a divider. When we got to our seat, the staff had placed the divider at exactly the table edges connecting the two stove but it was so squishy and uncomfortable for 6 people that we had to move the divider over a little. There's a time limit for all you can eat however with one stove and us not knowing that the vegetables came raw and in full foiled packages, it took a long time to grill anything. Our waitress came over many many times to remind us about the time limit and even then... we were well over our time limit even though we only put in two rounds of food. One stove shared between six people was awful. It's not like our stove could cook any faster even if the waitress rushed us. We were even ending the meal with s'mores and the waitress couldn't wait any longer and brought over the bill. We had to put down our s'mores stick to pay the bill so she could leave us alone to finish the meal... the restaurant was not busy, there were plenty of empty tables and there was no one waiting in the lobby. Did not appreciate the service here. Overall, food was greasy and not memorable (as I just tried a different grilled meat spot a few days prior). The portions were weird. Most of the dishes were severely under portioned so we made sure to up our portions for round two. Our time was up before we could even put in our final round three order. The staff also didn't respect some of the items. We put in ice cream on the first order as people wanted to use it as a grease palate cleanser and it was only when we followed up with the waitress did they say "oh we thought it should be served at the end of the meal instead since it's a dessert". Perhaps following the orders of what customers mark off would help with better customer service....

They specialize in seafood, we ordered a small seafood pot ($50), the whole pot was packed with seafood, the broth is amazing. Service is attentive and friendly.

Bossam is served with a fun variety of sides like tofu, pickles, and radish. The deep fried oysters + pancake options (seafood and potato both) have not let us down, though the pancakes are a little small for the price imo. Have only had their signature seafood pot once; it was fresh though not memorable enough to be something we gravitate towards.

The staffs/owner were very friendly and made great recommendations. Had the hamachi carpaccio, so refreshing and appetizing. The homemade ponzu (lemony) sauce has a nice finish with thin sliced onions and veggies. The Engawa Arburi nigiri was recommended, and it was phenomenal. It is the 'fin edge' of flounder. Super delicate, with seared (arburi) flavor and melts in your mouth. Yum! The other highlight was the Wagyu beef cubes severed on stick. Two skewers 4 cubes each. The Wagyu was perfectly cooked. It melts in your mouth with every bite. We also enjoyed the 7 piece Omakase sushi set. The fish was very fresh and satiating. Love the lotus root chips garnishing. We loved everything we had but would likely skip the Omakase appetizer Platter. Perhaps we were spoiled by the hamachi carpaccio appetizer. We still enjoyed it but For the same price, we would prefer the sushi set. It had 9 small plates in a beautiful serving box including- tiny sashimi cube of salmon, tuna, tamago, and my fav is the komochi nishin (herring fillets ("Nishin") layered over a base of crunchy capelin roe), also included in the tiny plates of apps were, chicken karaage, baby taco, sliced taco, taco in red sauce, and seaweed salad. We look forward to be back!!!!!

Recommended by a korean friend a while back so this cozy small restaurant has been on my list for a…read morewhile. It is a japanese-korean restaurant but we went to try the korean dishes. To be honest, we were a bit disappointed at what we selected. They are fairly average compared to the numerous korean restaurants across lower mainland. We ordered the beef bulgogi, bossam and kimchi soup. The beef bulgogi was quite oily and it looked more like a onion beef strips than bulgogi. the flavor was just missing The kimchi soup was average. Lots of tofu but missing kimchi. Bossam was decent though. But i think we would appreciate not serving bossam with romain lettuce which made it so hard to wrap the meat. All the regular korean banchan needed to be charged. Our server was good. she was very busy though as she was the only one working that night. Our bill also eas accurate though. we were charged the additional charge of rice with bossam which we did not order and did not arrive. Because my friend and i split the bill, we were charged full excharge price of rice on each of the bill. because the incorrect charge was minimal, we did choose to just pay and did not voice it so we just left.

Though execution is steady, just not exciting. We were seated at the bar this time so we really get to see and experience the service. To our surprise at dinner rush, there is only 2 sushi chefs making the rolls and one odd straggler at the BOH frying things. For what is in my mind as a 'pretty solid and good' sushi spot, I didn't expect the maki base (nori+rice layer) to be fed out of a plastic feeder machine. I'd expect that from a convenience store chain or something of lesser quality / a place that does not offer an in-restaurant experience, where food quality and skill in the craft is inferior to grab-and-go convenience and value. For me to see this at a restaurant that I see highly of, it just feels weird.
