At first bite, it took us back to Japan immediately! After eating and testing various yakiniku restaurants in Manila, there were too many to count, we never thought we would find a restaurant with the same texture and taste as the real Japan wagyu meat! They use charcoal, which is the best for grilling meat. This is it! This place deserves more attention! Prices are worth it! We would definitely go back every time we miss Japan!

I come here every time I visit the Philippines from Japan. The tongue, face meat, and offal are all delicious, and the staff are very polite and kind, so I highly recommend it.

Come-as-you-are place to occasionally indulge in excellent quality, albeit some cuts looking frozen when served, extremely fatty beef. Service is standard, they let you be in peace to a great extent. Space feels expansive, tables are far and wide apart. Smells a bit funky, probably due to the fact here you barbecue meat to eat.

The food here is fantastic! The karubi is melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the cold noodles are a refreshing standout. I really appreciate the convenient parking right out front, and the peaceful weekday atmosphere. However, the overall smell of the shop is a major drawback. It has a musty, almost damp odor that's quite unpleasant and detracts from the dining experience. I hope they can address this issue to improve the ambiance.

Food was great and reasonably priced. Only downside was there was no japanese sausage on the menu. The smell of the restaurant was kinda off when we went. The neighboring establishment was undergoing construction and the chemical smell was seeped into the resto. Otherwise, the meal was great.

Ate here last Tuesday night straight from my flight from Japan because we were still craving for some more wagyu, and I dare say, the yakiniku here is still better than some of the wagyu I had in Tokyo! Will always be a fave
