We reserved lunch for five people in advance and were the first customers of the day, which made for a nice and relaxing meal. The teppanyaki style sitting means the chef cooks right in front of you. I got 220g of Kobe beef, split between 110g of the rare part and 110g of the red meat. We all took the recommendation of letting it be medium rare. The chef was really skillful and attentive, sizzling up the beef and vegetables, cutting the meat into bite-sized pieces on the stove. They also used Kobe beef fat to cook garlic fried rice, which was actually pretty good. The chef recommended eating the beef with various condiments; my personal favorite was the wasabi and soya sauce combo. Overall, it was a pretty good experience, though I felt we could have found a better lunch deal for the price point. The rare part was really tender, but the red meat cut felt quite mediocre for the price.
