Frustrating.

The food is OK, maybe even good, but it's hard to tell the quality of the beef when it's all smothered in overpowering sauces and toppings (which are fairly tasty at least). But in a country of absolutely outstanding food this is probably one of the worst meals I've had in Japan.

It's just not worth the queues, which, even worse, could have been much quicker. It took me maybe 5 minutes of waiting to note a couple things:

First, they have outside seating, but they only offer it to the first couple of parties. Of course if you've already waited for over 30 minutes you'll wait a little longer to sit in the AC and drink in the atmosphere. This meant the outside area was completely empty the entire time I was there.

Second, you have to order at the beginning before being seated. So a server has to stand there doing nothing but watch you stare at a menu and contemplate. While there were 3 empty tables I had to wait standing on tired feet while the groups in front of me ordered. And the servers just seem pretty slow. So much wasted time clearing and cleaning tables.

All told it made for a very disappointing final meal in Japan, avoid.
