Absolutely brilliant! we drove past this place for 2 years, thinking every day that we should stop by, and now we regret that we did after so long :) Very very tasty broths (we tried pork and kimchi), fresh vegetables and meats; you cook ur own meal, even the ice creams were excellentOh, and the service is lovely, and they insist that you do not leave a tip following Japanese true traditions!

I was hesitant to go here because it looks so dark inside from outside, but it’s actually bright indoors and quite popular and I’m so glad I finally tried it.The food was so delicious and filling! Great to have individual hot pots so you can cook and eat as you like.They do also have some appetizers and options to add extras too. However I’m just giving 4 stars because of the lesser variety, and the assorted vegetables include one bok choy leaf and 2 slices of carrot. So if you like more of an assortment, you might want to just add some extra veg.I’m am stuffed and happy. Still got the ice cream to come. Also great value.

The restaurant absolutely wonderful from the way they serve as well as the food in my point.I used to travel to Japan and had a chance to try Sukiyaki then fall in love right away with the soup base. Usually i made it by myself cause i have try some restaurants and the soup not as my thought. This place impressed me and now will be in my must have listReasonable price for a hotpot included dessertand no tip required following custom in Japan are a plus point.

Although the meal is not large but the price is pretty good. Average 17 for a person and they don’t ask for tips, which means we only need to pay for original price plus tax.

Authentic, delicious. Had the sukiyaki which was perfect comfort food on a winter evening. Can’t wait to try the other dishes.

Our first time here was a little disappointing. We liked the individual hotpot concept, the complimentary ice cream, and that no tipping is required. However, there was very little meat and tofu compared to the amount of greens and mushrooms for the price. Also, no server checked on us after we were served our food. It got so late that one person in our group had to leave before we got our dessert…we had to ask for the dessert and the bill.

Really wanted to love this place, and I might give it another try but their portions fell short. Too much cabbage and not enough veggie variation, noodles or tofu. The menu appeared to be more tasty than the final product itself, sad to say.. great concept overall of individual hotpot, no tipping as Japanese custom and the included ice cream dessert.

Clean and good service , good food as well

I was pleasantly surprised by how great my experience was here! The flavours of the hot pot broth were amazing and quite strong. It came with a ton of vegetables, particularly mine because I ordered the NO MEAT option which seems to be available for any hot pot selection. The meat option, too, doesn't seem to have an absurd amount of meat and relies more on the broth and veggies to create a balanced and delicious meal. The service was fast, and so friendly. Our server was very communicative when it came to allergen information, which is much appreciated. I hope these servers make great wages; because I felt bad that they don't accept tips here!!

Great price for what it is, great service! Its generally a place where I go eat to feel great afterwards, nothing too heavy but satisfied. However, if you are not a person who likes doing hotpot on their own or less intense flavours I do not think this is the place for you.I love sukiyaki tho
Drove by this place all the time and didn't think anything of it. As soon as I walked in I thought it was the cutest little joint ever. Lots of doubles and single seating in a u shape and then booths around it. Everybody gets their own individual pot and induction plate. The meals for me were particularly a little small, but they were cheap for what you got. You got a choice of three or four different types of soup bases and then multitude of different options that you can choose for the veg and protein. Averaging about $17. I think the most interesting thing about this place besides being a mom-and-pop joint is that we're cultural reasons. They do not want you to tip. Can't say that's not refreshing but also felt awkward too because I think we are so used To tipping for table service.Great atmosphere, nice and clean and spacious. Will definitely come back again when I'm not too hungry.

If you like hot pot, you will enjoy this restaurant. They provide different Japanese style soup base with seaweed salad, veggie platter and meat (either pork or beef), bowl of rice and dessert during dinner time. Price range from $14-19 (lunch / dinner respectively).There are also other items you can order, varies from appetizer to other food to put into your hot pot. Veggie platter includes carrots, cabbage and mushroom, some sets with noodles / udon.I have tried the following soup: Sukiyaki, Kimchi, Thai Coconut, Soy Milk and Sesame Soy Milk. Personally find sukiyaki is a little blend for my liking, Kimchi can occasionally get very salty but its a nice touch during cold winter. Thai coconut is not as spicy as I expected. Then comparing Soy Milk and Sesame Soy milk, I do enjoy Sesame Soy milk more as there is more flavour to it.This restaurant has a no tip policy which is even more of a rare find in Vancouver nowadays. With that, I do enjoy going to this restaurant once awhile :>

So good! Simple, delicious, and well priced. You get to eat without interuptions too! Had the Miso Soy Sesame broth and it was so good.

Had the soy milk hotpot. Broth is very rich and smooth…pairs really nice with the pork. Portion of food is adequate.

Good restaurant, the food is fresh and tastes great. Don't need to tip at this restaurant. Ordered the sukiyaki and the flavour was nice. The dinner comes with ice cream for dessert. Good experience coming here.
