    PLEASE READ BEFORE VISITING THIS RESTAURANT - STOMACHACHE AFTER VISITING The meat and other side dishes were below average. I went to the restaurant twice - once for a la carte and once for all you can eat (which is at 5000 yen! for that you have much better alternatives). On both occasion it was disappointing. I had a serious stomachache after eating there. I don't understand why there are so many good reviews. The all you can eat is not really a buffet. You can only order two small plates of meat axh time and can only order after finishing it. Then it takes forever for the food to arrive when you only have 90 minutes to eat! Service quality was poor as there a lot of part timers. They just talk and laugh among each other. You have to remind them to deliver the food to your table once it is ready. The atmosphere was in general cold. There is a lack of good exhaustion for the smoke as well. You will smell like burnt meat after leaving.

    Incredible food, all you can eat quality beef and sides of over 100 options , very foreigner friendly service , can order through QR on your phone with English translated menu. One of the best yakiniku I've ever had! It's also in kawaii building 3 so be sure to enter the right one to get here

    The food was really delish ! The guys here are also very quirky and fun. It’s a fun vibe, hustle and bustle. They gave us some recommendations on which meats, such as platter 1, 2, or 3. Meat was great, affordable Also.

    My friends and I pulled up to the restaurant to enjoy all you can eat yakiniku with our reservations. We met with Yota, who kindly seated the six of us promptly. Our bags were stored in baskets underneath our seat, and our jackets were put away in another room, to prevent any sort of grease or smell contamination. We ordered the premium menu and all you can drink options. The way you order is through a QR code that is brought to the table. The code brings you to a Japanese only site(easily translated in Google Chrome), which you use to order the meat and drinks. We were given 2 hours to enjoy the meal, and we used every minute of it. It was absolutely delicious and we had so many options. We ended up paying about 6000 yen per person, with the all you can drink only being 500 yen per person. Service was fast and great, we would order on our phones, and the item would come out minutes later. I would definitely come back again if I'm ever in the area.

    Best Japanese BBQ experience we’ve ever had! Actually I think I even like this better than Korean BBQ. This place is all you can eat for 5,500 yen and all you can drink add on for 500 yen. All the cuts of meat were amazing and you could even choose to order wagyu tips. They tried very hard to accommodate us in English and the manager is very friendly. This place is located on the 3rd floor. For the sign, the first words are in Japanese but the word “lab” is in English. There is an elevator you can use to get to the 3rd floor.

    Beautiful. Great and friendly service, amazing quality a la carte. Super fast. High quality beef absolutely melted. Loved the thick cut tongue. Pictures in general are only a la carte. You won't get the higher quality beef with AYCE option. Orders done off your phone via QR code site. The restaurant was quite smokey, as a good yakiniku place should be.

    The food was nice and the meat tasted great. But the lack of ventilation in this restaurant where everyone is grilling a steak on their table is unbearable. Everything on us smelled like burnt oil and we felt not so great by the end of it. So make sure you wear something you do not want to wear again.

    The best beef I’ve ever had in my entire life. So delicious!! The service was phenomenal, and the waiter took the time to use google translate to communicate with me. I really appreciated the effort! I will definitely be returning on my next trip to Japan!

    They were able to seat us same day (a Monday) via Google Maps chat. You’ll need to use translate into Japanese but it worked great, I’d even recommend emojis 🤩. Wonderful cuts of Wagyu and although an interesting ordering system, staff was always checking in and very friendly. We got the All You Can Eat (goes until 10pm) with alcoholic drinks included! Only thing I’d recommend is that they marinate their Kalbi a bit longer. Wonderful sides as well, their salad with the nori (seaweed) is a game changer. Definitely coming back if we ever visit Osaka again! Thanks so much!! 🙏

    Thanks to Yota san our evening was so enjoyable. His service is top notched despite the busy restaurant (not all the staff display the same enthusiasm as him though). His recommendation of the popular platter and beef tongue was on point. Value for money. Before we realised, the 1.5hr dining time ended. Thanks Yota san!
