Reviews
- dramatic_juniper_berryThe sesame sauce dip here is honestly the star of the whole meal — sweet, sour, salty, all hitting at once, and it makes the grilled meat taste so much better. The marinated diaphragm meat was grilled perfectly, super tender and juicy, like it just melted the second it hit my tongue. And the house special fatty beef had just the right mix of lean and fat, so you get that rich beefy flavor when it hits the grill — wrap it in lettuce with the sauce and it's next level. Place was clean and the exhaust system actually works, no smoke smell sticking to your clothes or anything. The servers kept checking on us and grilling stuff for us without us even asking, which was really nice. Whole experience was just super comfortable, gonna be back for sure.
