Amazing we really had a good moment. The stag is enchanting, thank you Bonica-san for your smile and amazing voice. Best Japanese teacher. I’ll definitely come back Much love
Tried this place after seeing videos online and positive reviews. We came early and were greeted by staff who were super nice and energetic. They ensured our experience was the best possible and the meat quality was amazing! It is on the pricier side but you're paying for the best quality of meat. We were honored to be served by Yamapi, Jin, Sena, and Aji. Thank you again for the fun experience, will come back again when we're in Tokyo!
Updated review: I’m updating this review after thinking through for two days. I’m very conflicted about how to review this place. Food: 5 stars -> 3 stars Service: 5 stars -> 3 stars Atmosphere: 5 stars -> 3 stars However, it comes with MAJOR caveats. Because of the caveats, I’m dropping the star rating down to average 3 stars. 1) The Food: Wagyu is amazing, no doubt about that. It’s the one thing that can’t be debated. HOWEVER, I am pretty sure the bean sprouts they served gave myself and my companion food poisoning. Within hours of visiting the restaurant, we both became ill. The food poisoning delayed our trip by 2 days and pretty much ruined the weekend. As of writing this review, we’re still not recovered. While the cause of the food poisoning is just hypothesis (and I’m not going to get into details about all of the entire circumstance), but basically, the vegetables served included mung bean sprouts which are known pathogen carriers when served raw or undercooked, which it was in this instance. We had not eaten anything raw or anything with high risk of pathogens up until this point. And no, this is not our first time in Japan, eating yakiniku, or any of that. I’m not saying the food here was a for sure cause of our food poisoning. But the correlation is too high to ignore. 2) The service The staff is extremely friendly and attentive. However beware that they consider themselves performers. There will be a lot of chanting, cheers, and exuberant displays. It’s fun, but just beware this is what you’re getting into. Because the staff is considered “performers”, they will ask you to tip them. If I had known this fact ahead, I would have been less upset about being asked to tip 18% on a 65,000 yen meal. The staff will watch you as you select the tip for that extra bit of peer pressure. They will also ask you to leave 5 star review with their select choice of keywords while they watch. No pressure at all.
Sena, thank you for a wonderful performance and experience 🙏!!! If you go here, expect to spend a lot of money 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰 It was definitely an interesting experience, the staff are very friendly and welcoming, and definitely go out of their way to be enthusiastic. I don't have the heart to give less than 5 stars due to their great service. Shout out to Sena and the cute girl servers, thanks again 😁
