I personally have not experienced a long wait time, and I’ve gone during rush hour, but even if I did have to wait a while, I totally would because it’s so worth it! I go here often sometimes twice a month! I love the food, the service isn’t bad unless they’re slammed, and it’s a good price for what you get. My FAVORITE yakiniku/table bbq place EVER (and I’ve been to a lot). I have made reservations before and they call in advance to make sure you’re still coming to your reservation. The food is fresh and the servings are generous, and I can’t wait to go back!

We went to this restaurant to celebrate my birthday. My sister suggested this place because she had a good experience eating here, and we all agreed with what she had to say about it… but the atmosphere was cool and peaceful as everyone is eating quietly and enjoying the silence. The waitresses were very polite and smiling, happily serving everyone. Most of the food were flavor-bombs that made me really want to have a bowl of rice to enjoy to the fullest.

Visiting from Canada🇨🇦 and wanted to try this place here in Cebu🇵🇭 that my family recommended. We got the Set of Meat for two persons, additional harami meat and then a plate of Wagyu Harami and they’re all exceptional meat cuts. The grill only uses Japanese charcoal and is manually done. The charcoal is high grade and the fire it makes to cook Wagyu is superb. As for the Wagyu meat, it melts in my mouth like butter.
Super marbled and the meat itself is sweet. Texture is there. Beef tongue is to die for. Other meats are of good quality as well – super soft.

Tasted Wagyu at its best here in Cebu! No wonder my close friend is fond of eating here. The crew is also very helpful and attentive! They got to cook for us when they saw how ignorant we were hahaha! The place is also comfy as the chairs are soft and the A/C is well functioning. Going to eat here again. Yum!

We love this restaurant and have eaten here many times. Excellent meat and sauces (try the spicy garlic sauce on the chicken). Great pickled vegetables too; we usually get the plate with 4 vegetables plus an extra serving of the radish (the orange one).
