If you’re considering reserving here, you should really listen to the bad reviews and reconsider. The good reviews must be paid for, because wow, this place was so not worth the money. The only redeeming factors are the view (and maybe the beer on tap), but everything else was a major letdown.

Let me start with the cleanliness, because this is the biggest issue in my opinion. I am by no means a clean freak, but when I say the tables and grilling equipment were literally covered in oil… we had the morning slot (11am), so this is proof that they don’t even clean at the end of the day, let alone between reservations. The tents are torn, taped up, moldy, and soaking wet (it was raining when we went) - we wouldn’t dare step inside them and just used them as a space to store our bags. All of the alcohol besides the on-tap beer was suspiciously dirty - the bottles were half empty (which would’ve been fine in any other well-run BBQ), and the imo shochu was in a bottle that only had a dirty, handwritten label. The menus/recipe cards were equally covered in grease, and there were no vegetables besides edamame in just one dish.

The meat itself is stored in a cooler with almost no ice, so on a hot day I wouldn’t trust the safety of the temperature it’s kept at. Some of the equipment was waterlogged and when we asked for a replacement grill we were given a different type of grill and told that they had no replacements for the type we couldn’t use.

They’re so stingy that you get exactly one plate and one metal cup per person. We actually brought our own plastic cups because the metal cups were wet and we weren’t sure how clean they were.

The attitude of the workers was laughably bad - they all looked and seemed miserable to be there (understandable given they were standing outside in the cold rain all day, but still), which made me think they’re probably underpaid.

To think that this place exists on the property of Skytree is actually astonishing, I can’t believe it’s not better run given its prime location.

Considering the price, I would never book a slot at this place again. The only redeeming factor, like I said, is the view, and you can get that for free just by standing outside of Skytree, so.. save your money and go somewhere else.
