The food
Two all-you-can-eat dinner experiences for those who can put down a lot of beef. The regular menu (starting at $31.99) features things like miso-marinated salmon, Angus Gold kalbi short ribs, lemongrass-marinated organic pork loin and New Zealand lamb racks. The more-baller Wagyu menu (starting at $69.99) gets you all of the above plus Australian Wagyu sirloin and U.S. Wagyu brisket. If that still isn’t enough luxury meat, diners can supplement their meal with platters of premium-grade Wagyu cuts for an additional charge.
The drinks
A selection of house wine, sake, beer and non-alcoholic mixed drinks including fruit teas. Beverages are not included in the all-you-can-eat price, however.
The space
Three spacious and bright dining areas, the tables of which are each equipped with their own grill for DIY cooking.
