DrewskiOctober 19, 2016Everything was tasty, but the wings, spicy kalbi soup, spicy tuna volcano, and kalbi short ribs were especially good. Pro tip: during the week, order half-price drinks at the bar before you're seated.
Paige COctober 27, 2016Such a fun experience! We were a group of 8, so we got the package for 10 (which was a LOT!) Food was delicious, lots of variety. Get the spicy tuna volcano and the many varieties of beef to cook!
Caroline DengJune 27, 2016The lunch special is amazing! We had the individual lunch combo which comes with 2-3 meats of your choice, soup, salad, and white rice! You can upgrade your rice or get vegetables for $2 more.
Gizem AskerFebruary 1, 2019The place is pretty big and cozy. Meals are not pricey compared to other American restaurants. Get a combo menu w/s'mores. Try house sake and flavored sake! Do not forget to make a reservation!
Wayne AndermanMay 25, 2017Great lunch specials - Kobe beef selection, short ribs and garlic fried rice. BBQ perfectly sliced thicknesses of beef at the table. Perfect portions for lunch - leaves room for dessert.
Hawk PangApril 7, 2016The spicy tuna pokè was delicious. The food overall was great - we went for the Fuji set bbq meal for two and there was SO much food. We ended up leaving the chicken as it was the least interesting.
Ghassan AlkharboushJune 6, 2016Hands down best meal of my life. Had the kobe set with tuna tartare, shrimp balls, sukiyaki bibimpap and smores for dessert. All were good but the highlight was the kobe beef. Definitely worth a visit
Lou CarulliMarch 21, 2018One of my fav places! The service at this location was so so. I usually go to the times sq location and highly recommend it. Everyday happy hour where food and drink is half off!
Berk KapiciogluMay 14, 2017Sunday through Thursday, come here, sit at the bar, and get the special. A Sapporo, spicy miso chili wings, and beef bibimbap for $14. Best deal in lower Manhattan.
Gabriel ChungApril 14, 2016Exceptional Japanese barbecue and green tea crepe. High quality meats, really nice decor. Great for groups and has a happy hour! As Arnold would say, "I'll be back"
AmateurConciergeFebruary 21, 2015A cook your own japanese spot. Never ending happy hour if you drink at the bar (I'm partial to the shishedo margarita) then go to your table and order a group platter.
Ingvild M. PlosivNovember 8, 2017So good I don’t even know how to describe it. Get the lunch special. Also, the service is awesome to say the least.
嘉豪 徐October 24, 2017This location has big bowls of Ramen… according to other friends, this is uncommon in the Philadelphia location and White Plains NY location. They say worth a try, but it's pretty huge.
My fave Japanese BBQ...ever. High quality and fresh meats/seafood/veggies infused w flavor. Mouth-watering goodness. I miss living down the street....love the cooper square location.
Listen carefully to the instructions for cooking each dish - you don't want to under grill your raw chicken, meat, and fish. Don't forget to order some vegetables for the table!
Sumptuous beef feast. Come with dudes for a complete meat fest. The set courses are pretty sweet value. There also happy hr before 530 and after 930. Expect to leave satisfied.
So good! Get the spicy tuna volcano, sausage bibimbap, garlic shrimp and mushroom medley! Finish with the doriyaki (grilled sweet pancakes with ice cream!)
Sara JordanAugust 17, 2015Dangerously amazing food and cocktails! Check out the happy hour specials. Yes, you cook your own food - not a surprise! Great meat selections.
Lauren WooJanuary 4, 2015Come here at happy hour to get discounted food and drinks! My fav things to order are the kalbi beef, kimchi fries & the green tea crepe!
Go for lunch instead of dinner and save a considerable amount of $$! They also have free mouthwash in the restrooms, which is kind of nice.
Hisham AkbarAugust 24, 2014Don't forget to order a side of crunchy garlic sauce. also don't forget to order the fried Banana cheesecake desert it's out of this world
Their happy hour menu's - 11am-3pm on certain days and after 9:30 on Mon through Thurs makes the trips worth it. Their new white fish with orange ginger sauce is yummy
Shengyu ChenApril 13, 2012Their 12 dollar lunch BbQ special is fantastic. Lots of meat which is great. The only thing about this BBQ is that it's too sweet for my taste. I prefer spicier food. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Jade COctober 15, 2013Had the Meat Lover & Villager's sets, enough for three girls! (& so delicious!) Finished with the Green Tea Mille Crêpes, perfectly sweet. Strongly recommend!
Sherry LiMarch 18, 2015Smoke-less diy bbq so you don't smell like meat when you leave. The specials are good and the meat is very high quality. Salads and apps are good too!
great lunch specials & happy hour after 9:30 with half price drinks & meat, get the harami and garlic noodles! not part of happy hour but worth it = lady m green tea mille crepe cake 🍵🍰
While you are waiting for everyone so you can cook your own food, count how many times the bartender tells you he invented your cocktail.
Kimmie OhhDecember 3, 2019Get the wagyu beef, Kobe style kalbi/galbi short rib, Kobe style bistro hanger steak & toro beef bacon.
Julie TranOctober 24, 2015Definitely come when it's happy hour; the food and drinks are a lot cheaper. The barbecue and cocktails are great!
This place is phenomenal. Love the concept of "working" for my food. Very healthy and fresh and it was surprisingly very tasty. Get the membership card to earn redeemable points in the future.
Start with the egg drop soup and ask for a side of hot sauce to put in it. The garlic noodles are to die for, wait til the last noodles get extra crispy. End with the smores yummm!
Stephanie MyersAugust 9, 2014Only come during happy hour! Everything is 50% off and you can get a great bottle of nigori sake for $8!
Theresa RoldanJanuary 8, 2017I ordered the "Fuji for 2" and it made for the most effect meal. Good appetizers, meats, veggies, and dessert!
Eelain SteketeeFebruary 14, 2011great for groups and first dates.. ur going to end up smelling like the food u cooked at the grill so dressing to the 9's ain't such a good idea. order the meat lovers course.. don't come if you don't- Berk KapiciogluFebruary 9, 2014Happy hour bar specials are delicious and cheap. My favorites are miso chili wings and beef bibimbap. Total of $15.
Always have a good time here!! The drinks are yummy.. Try the peach martini w/ lychee! The food is seasoned perfectly! The pre-set meals give u a taste of everything!! Divine!!
Classic Japanese BBQ, staff is nice and good deal during their happy hour, but don't expect great food.
Inna GFebruary 26, 2018BBQ, garlic, and bistro steak is great. Skip the broccoli its tasteless . Great sirachi rice bimbimbop
Vicky SunApril 2, 2015Happy hour deals are great. Great for groups and a lot of fun. Food is always reliable, just don't burn yourself.
Alex BosworthMay 23, 2019Make sure to pay attention to the meat yourself and don’t listen to the times they tell you
The garlic noodles are the best thing here, ask them to leave it on the hot plate so it stays warm throughout the meal
Ladysocrates2November 14, 2014Harami skirt steak, hanger steak, salmon, scallops, corn, zucchini, sirloin, garlic fried rice, noodles, forbidden punch
Nina LoSchiavoAugust 5, 2015Incredible. Don't skip on anything! Just get a huge package and split amongst friends.
love their happy hour ! shochu with fresh grapefruit is my new drink !
Wendy HoangMay 17, 2012Miso Flank / Strip Steak, Harami Hanger Steak, Kalbi, Prime Ribeye, Chateaubriand Center Cut (filet mignon), Brisket, Garlic Rice.
Lily FAugust 26, 2015Happy hour deals are worth it. Flavors are veryyyyy heavy though. Lots of garlic, salt and sweet
The Spark GroupApril 17, 2012Want it all and don't know where to start? Order one of the BBQ Courses. Our favorite is the Samurai for 2. MMM.
OyounalmahaSeptember 4, 2013My favorite place! Try the gyu kaku salad,shrimp dumplings, citrus salmon and their chicken
BolanleJanuary 2, 2013Happy hour sales on beef are bananas and This is the only location that makes the drink "the fire," just right :-).

"One of the best Japanese restaurants outside of Japan. Ask for any special sushi/sashimi options of the menu -- they may have something very nice. Also the Ohmi beef is amazing (but $) nocheap :))"
