Reviews
- Shay_17The beef was honestly so good, can't believe I waited this long to try it since it's right by my place. I kept walking past cause it never looked that busy, but the food is really fresh. I basically went through the whole beef menu, and the hanging tenderloin was my favorite by far. The beef balls were amazing too, super juicy and basically exploded in your mouth. The space looks way cleaner and brighter than before, pretty sure they redecorated recently. Service was great, they helped us out with the hotpot and even cooked some of the meat for us which was clutch. With a coupon the price was solid, worth it for sure. Will definitely be back soon.
