The prices of ordering is great and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. They cut your piece of steak in front of you and weigh it (price charged per a gram). The cut will be very close to the weight you ask for. I went with the local Japanese steak (the most expensive) because I wanted to try Japanese steak. They cook it how you want it and bring it out on an iron plate. The flavour of the steak is great from the seasoning and steak sauce they use.

They also offer a service of "Bring your own wine" and points card that sums you points per gram of meat. Small downside for some people is that during lunch they remove all chairs so you eat at a tall table and standing. All in all a solid recommendation for this place if you're...
