Update: I visited in March with some friends. We learned that they add a (small) fee to your bill without any mention whatsoever. It's not written on the menu or any signage. That small bowl of cabbage? Yeah, that's not free, and there's no opting out. Be prepared.

Pretty decent place for an evening. 2-hour all-you-can-drink option if that's what you're into. Something of an oddity is that the tablets for ordering have a language option, but you can only choose Japanese. Absolutely no English support here.

Management either changed or has taken note. Service is a bit better than previous visits. They can get pretty busy on weekends though.
