This place is a lot more expensive than other shabu shabu restaurants in town! My wife and I paid $97 for 6 pieces of meat, two bowls of rice, and some tea! The workers don't understand English (we tried to order regular tap water but he didn't understand).

Seeing the low 3.0 rating, I was drawn in by the advertisements and decided to try it anyway. The result was amazing! It was incredibly delicious and very affordable. We ate Kobe beef for only 1500 yen, and the flavor was fantastic.

Very helpful staff despite language barrier; we were able to communicate via Google Translate and had an awesome experience.
