Reviews
- frantic_cobraThe sukiyaki pot showed up and honestly it already won me over — the sliced beef was piled high and the marbling looked like actual art. Couldn't stop staring at it. The pot was bubbling away and this sweet, savory smell just hit me right away. Beef only takes a few seconds in there, dip it in the egg, and the second it hit my mouth it was fireworks in my head. So tender it was unreal!!!
